Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.
I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.
My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.
Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.
Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.ukI am confident that I had these settings disabled in Firefox.
Else they are new, and defaulted on.
I make sure I keep this kind of thing turned off.
Either way, I saw an advert - a sponsored site - in Firefox today, and found these settings enabled.
*sigh*

Falk Heiland 🇺🇦 🇪🇺
falkheiland@fosstodon.org@nigel i also think its important for people outside of any industry to have that cross-over? knowledge. otherwise all there will be is only google, ms, amazon etc.
in case of cars that approach might be a lost cause already, except you have access to pre computerized vehicles i guess.

Imagine if people who worked on their old hot rods and beat-up Mustangs in their garage were looked on as weirdos and counter-cultural like people who do their own actual computing are.
"Man, who's THAT guy covered in grease?"
"Oh he's weird bob, he works on his own cars!"
"Oh man, he must be a terrorist or something. What is wrong with those people? Why can't you just buy a new Ford every five years like everyone else? FREAK!"

The work of Japan’s Yoshitoshi Kanemaki is surreal. It truly messes with your brain. These kaleidoscopic emulations are especially mind blowing.
More of his work:

GetCarter@mastodonapp.ukYesterday, I posted a photo taken at 06:30 of a very orange sunrise. 15 minutes earlier it was considerably more red. (This one was taken from a drone over Upper Loch Torridon).

aparrish@friend.campi love living in the future, in which i have to hold my web browser very gingerly so it doesn't replace the thing i'm reading with the carbon farts of a stochastic white supremacy machine https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/shake-to-summarize/
