@srol We need to go back to the Samsung X830. And all phones should come in pink.

Here's an image of an orchid I just took to remind you that if you get value from the fediverse to support your local instance if you are able and they accept donations. Thank you.

i think the best way to gauge if a platform is decentralized is to say “if i got banned by the biggest server, would this hinder my ability of communicating with the people i care to a reasonable degree?”

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
