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.

hedders@mas.toMy car keeps trying to get me to "agree" new terms and "privacy policy". So far I've ignored it without any apparent adverse consequences, but presumably at some point it will refuse to drive until I do.
The future is rubbish.

Sometimes when I read something that cites me I want to reach through my screen, grab the author by the throat, and shake them while yelling YOU MISSED THE WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF WHAT I WROTE

Jo - pièce de résistance
JoBlakely@mastodon.socialTHIS IS THE RIGHT KIND OF CANCEL CULTURE.
So Disney is offering massive discounts for 6 months if you try to cancel your subscription. For those who weren’t cancelling bc their young kids, it’s worth at least trying to cancel and take the discount they offer to keep you. Then cancel before the promotion period ends.
They are also spending a fortune on ads to get people back. The boycott is working. Soooo many people are fighting back.

David - Forking Mad
daj@gofer.socialThrow-away fruity laptop
We now live in a throw-away society — there's no denying it. Fast fashion often dominates the news, but Tech is not squeaky-clean by any means.

bluejay@ohai.socialTaking a break from sharing Max memories this Caturday. For some counterprogramming, how about a Very Good Girl? This is Brea, whom I met on my visit to Idaho as she was watching over her sheep. As you can see, she loves coming over to greet people but also takes her job very seriously.

Matthew Sheffield
mattsheffield@mastodon.socialIf you haven't canceled your ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu, please do it today and tell your likeminded family and friends to do the same.
We need millions of cancellations. Disney caved to totalitarian threats for no reason. Jimmy Kimmel did nothing wrong. And we can protect him and democracy by standing up.
Make sure you name Jimmy Kimmel specifically to make it count.
