Two great things you can do to make the fediverse more diverse and interesting:
1) USE LOTS OF HASHTAGS. It's not spammy! It helps people find stuff they're interested in, since the search is intentionally limited to tags to prevent abuse.
2) BOOST THE GOOD STUFF. It gets it into new federated timelines, which is vital for smaller instances with fewer connections. It also helps with hashtag searches, since they only bring up toots known to your instance via follows and boosts.
@starbreaker Good news!
I can no longer say that I'm strictly an HF #HamRadio operator, since I've kerchunked a local repeater on 2 meters using a new-to-me FT-60.
I wonder if anyone actually uses #MorseCode on 2 meters?
(Oh, and that reminds me. Happy Morse Code Day!)
@starbreaker Good thoughts
She got the which of the what-she-did,
Hid the bell with a blot, she did,
But she fell in love with a hominid.
Where is the which of the what-she-did?
I don't think it's wrong of me to conclude that any pull request that's sitting unreviewed for more than a day or two just isn't that important
Can I get another 3 hours to sleep this morning?
@windmills @Virelai Je collectionne le livre en plusieurs langues, mais je ne l'ai lu qu'en anglais, français et allemand.
@windmills @starbreaker Thanks! It's all the alcohol. It acts as a preservative.
@windmills @Virelai Le Petit Prince par Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (Un fait vrai: il l'a écrit à New York (Long Island et Manhattan), à quelques kilomètres seulement de l'endroit où je vis.)!
On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
@windmills @Virelai Eh, moi aussi. Mais je bien aime la langue ! (Et mon livre préféré dans le monde est en français)
@windmills @starbreaker I'm in my mid-50s at this point, and actually got paid to program on punchcards at one point. (Anyone who wants to talk about "the good old days" never had to deal with that crap. It's SO MUCH BETTER now)
@windmills @Virelai Cest bon ! Il y'a beaucoup des gens ici que parle la langue !
@starbreaker I actually had a job right out of school that required me to use it.
I don't remember any of it anymore.
@starbreaker Wow, that's...impressive. I haven't looked at Multics in...30+ years?
@0x11de784a Apparently .sc is Seychelles? Which makes it doubly odd.
@pzmyers Since they have no evidence, where else can they pull it from?
@elsilnora There's a support group for that
Good morning Fediverse!
"Channing Concho was in the crowd with hundreds of fellow headbangers for Anthrax’s sold-out concert this year...when something unusual unfolded before her eyes: the mayor of New Mexico’s largest city grabbed the mic.
“I was like, whoa, he doesn’t look like your typical politician,” ..he’s just another Albuquerque metalhead.”
Tim Keller, the mayor ... shouted “I believe in the power of metal!”"
