Fall is late, but fall is here. #autumn #Japan #nature #photography

I was able to get to 41 minutes in my last run. My new plan is to add one minute to each future run until I either, 1: lose weight. 2: Die of over exertion. No more messing around.

@Gargron Let's keep it this way. I want Mastodon still standing when all the other social media sites have enshittified themselves to high hell.

@Dana One thing twitter did that I cannot find anywhere else was have a trending topic list. They also did breaking news well. I wish I could get that here. Hmm, I wonder if we could just make it happen.

Finally got out and shot this object tonight.

Mt.Iwate and comet Tsuchinshan. #comet #tsuchinshan #night #Japan #tohoku

Night of Fire.

Well done Brazil! Stick to your guns. You don’t need X. Nobody does. You can use Mastodon, Bluesky or Threads. Well played! #twiiter #brazil #ban

@BeAware Yes. I wish there were a way to keep high level tags like that locked to on-topic discussions. But that would require tag moderation. #mastodon

@BeAware I used to love reading it, but now it’s a real mess. #mastodon

@BeAware Yeah, it does have the lion’s share. I fear that in open source environs that can happen. Smaller teams, fewer developers and less funding can cause the one group that gets those things to have too much influence and dominate. I think I’ve see think in the Linux distribution world as well.

@BeAware It certainly is not. But I think Mastodon has the most sustainable platform. And it can’t be bought and silenced.

@BeAware I was initially excited about some of the stuff I saw them doing, but yeah, it’s feeling pretty lackluster over there these days. I actually pay to support an instance here and I’ll keep on paying. Mastodon is worth it.

@BeAware You aren’t wrong there. Everyone is just trying for easy cred by copying other memes/videos. It’s obvious and lame.

I do spend time on Threads, but the quality of posts here are an order of magnitude more sophisticated than they are over there. I really appreciate that. #mastodon

Just remember, the only reason the ultra rich are angry WE aren’t have kids anymore is because they want a new feudalism and we refuse to provide them with tomorrow’s serfs. Go grow your own damn kids in a lab.

You thought the yen was weak before? Lol! I'm going to be trapped in Japan forever. At this rate it will cost me my life savings to escape.

No auroras, but it’s rice planting season and we’ve got reflections. So many reflections. #japan #rice #sunset #photography #nature

Happy birthday BASIC. My first programming language. I made some great text adventures back in the day with full inventories and character stats. I miss the simplicity of BASIC. #basic
