The whole internet *should* rally against this. What a terrible bill.

If you're a fellow Coloradan, please call your state rep. and tell them to not support this bill.

75% Pepperoni? Y'all are actually mid af.

I have a hunch that most of the pepperoni votes are there because it's the first option, you lazy fucks.

It's all downhill from here, I think lol.

At this point just using *any* Microsoft product, let alone Windows, is inherently a security risk.

I love computers, until they start doing shit I don't want them to do. In which case, I hate computers.

Yo, there's a Light Phone 3. I'm tempted.

Please stop referring to the parts of the previous century that I was alive in as "The late 1900s"

I don’t understand why Signal stories are a thing but I’m going to start to use them anyway.

@pixplz Admin here; anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment has no place on Fosstodon. This moderator (prior to becoming a moderator) had personal account filters on their account to curate their timeline to focus on technology, as is their right to do as a user.

Choosing to opt-out of LGBTQ+ discussions does not make one anti-LGBTQ+.

A larger team conversation was had around content filters for staff, and we collectively decided that staff should remove existing filters.

Seeing #FediForum coverage from outlets like @theverge and @Techcrunch is super exciting.

Excited for tomorrow @fediforum

Plasmashell continues to eat memory. Was away from home all day yesterday and came back to a locked system as a result. So far, restarting it seems to fix the problem, but only temporarily.

Maybe I should just try a different DE instead of working to fix Plasma.
