"We agree that the difference between sending eggs with the little- or the big-end first is trivial, but we insist that everyone must do it in the same way, to avoid anarchy. Since the difference is trivial we may choose either way, but a decision must be made." - Danny Cohen IEN 137

im really starting to prefer mastodon over twitter

i used to be really into having the newest computer gadget. now i use refurbished hardware. it's so much cheaper. it lasts. it reduces landfill waste. it's great, and i don't really feel like i am missing out on much tech-wise.

here are some tips if you need tech stuff but don't want to spend a lot of money, support horrible companies, and such (1/n)

Some nice hashtags on the Fediverse which are worth browsing and (if your platform allows it) following:

#Florespondence - Pretty pictures of flowers 🌷 🌻 🌹

#SFFBookClub - Reading and discussing Scifi/fantasy books together

#Introductions - People telling the fediverse a little bit about themselves

#Alternatives - Ethical/open alternatives to popular apps, sites or pretty much anything

#FollowFriday - Recommendations for interesting accounts to follow

Any other good tags?

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about https://microblog.pub. Seems like an admirable project.

If you’re not in my particular niche communities, you might not know about the community that exists around old ThinkPad laptops. But I’m going to tell you about it, because I think it’s awesome!

ThinkPad laptops from years ago are enduringly popular, because they have great support from free software, and they’re extremely repairable.

Not only are new or used parts extremely easy to come by, people are even designing new parts for these old machines, so you can upgrade rather than replace!

Apple joins Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Mastodon, and others in data-sharing project https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/30/20746868/apple-data-transfer-project-google-microsoft-twitter

The goal is to (finally!) build simple tools to move your photos, posts, contacts, and other data between services.
