Hello Fosstodon and greater Fediverse beyond, I'm AstralPegasus98!
I'm an amateur (read: noob) coder and artist, hoping to eventually improve at both. I also enjoy playing around with web design occasionally. At work I'm just low-tier tech support, mostly trying to keep our Windows boxes running.
I've been running Ubuntu MATE as a daily driver for about a year and a half now and loving it, but I still have a lot to learn about Linux.
Looks like I'll be spending the weekend troubleshooting my brother's computer. 😫
I still tend to look at trending hashtags with a sense of "oh no, what now," but I'm really happy that's not why things usually trend around here.
I saw #Debian is trending right now and clicked it to see what's going on. Nothing. People are just... talking about Debian.
I love Mastodon. 🙂
I was in my #minecraft creative test world yesterday trying to design an automatic bucket emptying machine and I came up with something bulky and flawed but it mostly sorta works.
Then I found a tutorial video from 2012 that not only still works but is way simpler and more compact than the monstrosity I built. 😳
I guess I still have a lot to learn about redstone. 🤦♀️

😷 let’s keep those variants from spreading 🤞
A bunch of older MacBook Airs at work have abruptly died today and we have no idea why.
The midichlorian is the powerhouse of the 4th.

Periodic PSA for IT folk: Don't berate the users you support for not knowing something. Do not make them feel lesser for making mistakes.
Did you know/realize that their experience with you supporting them can also colour their personal experience with computers?
Take the time to explain what's gone wrong and *if* the problem turns out to be user, brush it off as an "easy mistake" for anyone to make and continue to explain how to do the thing the right way.

#fosstodon is my social media home in many regards. I enjoy the people I meet here and interact with.
Be that as it may I do think that extending an open hand and focusing on what brings us together rather than what can divide us (ahem.... recent events and people...) will ultimately have a stronger effect on the movement and concept of #foss that we are all here for.
Next time someone posts a stupid, inflammatory, or otherwise “I don’t like this” thing (in your views), think and feel first.

Reading the local timeline stopped being interesting due to all this pro-RMS vs anti-RMS bullshit.
Our Dell machines at work get firmware updates through Windows Update, and while that hasn't caused any problems yet as far as I know, the idea of something as terrible as Windows Update being anywhere remotely close to the firmware is really unsettling to me.

Might be time to add "stallman" to my filters...
I don't have a horse in this race and I don't wanna come off sounding like I think people on either side of this don't have a right to be upset.
It's just, *yeesh* this is a lot more heated than I'm used to seeing around here. :(
Nothing may be set in stone yet with the #Discord thing, but it sounds like a good excuse for my friend group to start weighing our options anyway.

Spring cleaning's not super fun but it feels good to get it done. I haven't done a proper, thorough cleaning in a while and it kinda shows, haha. 😅
I even shutdown my Pi to blow the dust out of it. (RIP uptime 😔)
Made the switch-over! Hello from my T470p. 😊
Gonna have to get used to big screen resolutions again. I guess I could try the advanced Mastodon interface again.🤔
