I'm trying, world, I really am. I love my little Lenovo Linux laptop. I'd spend 99% of my time on it.

If I could talk to iMessages.

The messaging platform my entire family uses.

But other than a sort of remote desktop model or setting up my mac to be available via a proxy, there doesn't seem to be an option.

Wail. Woe. Whine.

@Popehat has written what I feel is the finest commentary on where we are, and how we should look at things in #uspol right now.

Please, take a moment and read it. It's beautifully written and is sane, cogent, and inspiring.

So unfortunately, the mastodon server instance I was using for Vintage Apparatus has just vanished without warning. So I'm looking for a new home for all the retrocomputing / vintage computing stuff i do on https://vintageapparatus.com/ - Any suggestions for an instance? I know of oldbytes.space - that has 370 users on it, which isn't a ton. Any others?

(I'll also be setting up something on Bluesky, but not as my primary)

Voyager 1 is dying. It's given us so much, and exceeded so many of our expectations.

Please, if this means anything to you, take a moment, listen to Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" - a beautiful ode to our place in the universe - inspired by a photo taken by Voyager...

@goatsarah I see your smirky sailor, and raise you a smirky stageworker / theater lighting tech.

It's definitely one of those skills when you see someone doing it wrong it's a hard fight not to fling yourself across the room and tackle them "NO NO NO NO NO! WRONG WRONG WRONG! GIMME THAT"

@goatsarah So i take the friendica thing is basically acting like a forwarder - Post to it, it boosts to the followers.

Close! Is a group actually private? IE, do boosts to the followers only show up to the people it boosts to? That would be helpful.

The 'group' tag helps to note this is a forwarder, but would love more information on who it is, what it is, how it is, and how do I get on or off it?

@goatsarah @ragnarok GTiven that from my perspective, it's just a post from you - I'm not sure if it's a forum post or a post or a note or what :)

@goatsarah I read somewhere that through the hull fittings are supposed to be… Yano… through the hull?

(Playing spot the gear.. inducer?)

This hits a little close to the mark...
