Anyway, the RTFM bros go about it the wrong way, but educating users of any software (free/open source or otherwise) about their options for solving things *on their own* is a great thing.

I see a lot of clients who use proprietary software let down by their options in this regard again and again.

France is facing massive droughts, but golf greens have been exempted from water restrictions; so climate activists went to golf courses and filled the holes with concrete! #StopGolf

Some critical resources about crypto/NFTs/web3 that I collected into a post today for convenience, because I keep sending people the same set of links when they need an introduction https://www.selfawaresoup.com/notes/2022/04/25/critical-resources-on-crypto-nfts-web3/

The most daunting thing for me about joining Mastodon/Fediverse was picking an instance.

Having joined one, a RL metaphor emerges for me: "it's like picking an apartment building."

You need to evaluate the management. Do they respect tenant rights? Is the desk clerk skeevy?

Do you want to live in a big impersonal complex? Or a little boarding house, where people share a lot and have house parties? You can even be a "home owner" and run your own instance (pay the bills, fix the plumbing).

Always feel uncomfortable at family gatherings because of the dozen devices all around us constantly listening to anything we say.

The only thing that makes me even more uncomfortable is how nobody cares. Even worse, they buy another Alexa for even the last room.

Outlook on the desktop is where hopes and dreams go to die.
