@inthehands Thank you! Very kind of you to reply.

I'd been trying to choose between Tuta and Proton, but just yesterday was told of Fastmail.

Thank you again!

@inthehands Thank you for that well-composed thread.

May I ask what you use for email?

@pluralistic Ha! Colma! A fitting place for a dead company! 👍

How the heck do you know so much about so many places?

A camp for HIV positive kids in Northern Minnesota is closing and going up for sale.

The reason? Anti-retroviral HIV drugs work. There are now not enough HIV-positive kids to need the camp.

Some good news to start your 2025

🥺 🥳

Oh no.

My husband's mouse somehow stopped connecting to his PC. No prob. We deleted it from the devices and scanned for Bluetooth devices to reconnect it.

My friends. We were not prepared. We live in a condo building, and apparently, our neighbor got a new Bluetooth-enabled friend for Christmas. It's called "Vibrator03".

Saw someone’s typo, and realized “Appellation Trail” would be a great name for a Napa Valley wine tour.

Mozilla.Social is going away.

If you like being here on the fediverse, please support your local instance. Good practice in general, but I'd like to specifically call out users of mstdn.social - if you're on that instance, you seriously need to throw a few bones @stux 's way. He can't be expected to shoulder the expenses for one of the more important instances all be himself.

Or we can let independent instances die off until Mastodon becomes the private property of one or two centralized instances. Our choice.

Just learned about 500.social which is a Mastodon instance that
1. Is intentionally small, limited to 500 users
2. Requires patronage, albeit a minimal one.
3. It's helmed by @kev , who's also co-captain of fosstodon.org.

I've said it before, I'll say it today, I think this is the future of Mastodon: user-supported and small.

I'm intrigued. Tempted, even. Check it out.
