A collection of things I made for people new to #Mastodon, based on questions I commonly see in the public timelines during influxes of new folks. :)

"i want to do this small thing in linux" a story of 500 firefox tabs
computing on a 43" 4K TV is kinda crazy...
Lol at all those companies suddenly exclaiming how much they care about me having control of my personal data because of the GDPR.
Only one day left until our #musiccollab album will be released on Bandcamp!
If you don't want to forget about it (because toots and brains can move quickly sometimes), you can sign up to the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dgz-3P
The album will have 11 songs by 16 awesome Mastodon musicians who worked together in random pairs since January!
oh #archlinux why you have to be so hard? :(
Oh #Antergos. Your cnchi bug has forced me to install #ArchLinux via command line. So sad...
also happening: typing this from linux, which works fine on this box. which proves the problem is my hackintosh settings, not the hardware...and eyeing #ArchLinux, posibly via #Antergos...
not sure who to blame. feel like I almost turned into a #shitposter. also have been followed by my first #switter account. Its probably something to do with #pleroma devs (jus' sayin')
stoopid trackpad! Been accidentally scrolling for awhile now. Days. Just dawned on me. Tested it. Yep! Right side of pad is dedicated scroll area. FML.
This is why I only use & support Free & Open Source Software in my personal life. This man is going to prison. Prison.
"A California man who built a sizable business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to federal prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court in Miami rejected his claim that the “restore disks” he made to extend the lives of computers had no financial value, instead ruling that he had infringed Microsoft’s products to the tune of $700,000."
anyone else having their inbox flooded with 'updated privacy/TOS' emails from, like, every site you've ever signed up for, ever?

If I toot, then someone boosts it, then I favorite the boost -- is that narcissistic? 🤔
Tired: follow
Wired: remote follow
25 years (and 1 day) ago the Mosaic browser was launched!
i just realized why people are so eager to boost things on masto
it's just… easier:
it takes one click to boost something on masto
on twitter, it takes two clicks to retweet
