A few days ago I was looking through, and closing, the more then 100 browser tabs I had open in the main web browser I use on my phone.
I have no recollection of ever opening this page or anything like it. It was a interactive chatbot, it was wild, and I don't really get it.
I mean obviously it's a paranormal scam, playing on a weird and outdated racial stereotype, but the webapp was really well made, and the target audience seems so small. I was confused and mesmerized for a few seconds.
picking the images to include in the presentation was pretty tough
Today I learned that there are a number of Linux-based laptop shops in Europe.

Switching to Linux
I want to feel good about the tool I use everyday and I want it to reflect what I stand for so I just ordered a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Notebooks/10-14-inch/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Pro-13-v3-133-matte-Full-HD-or-QHD-IPS-aluminium-case-up-to-Intel-Core-i7-Quad-Core-up-to-32GB-RAM-up-to-two-HDD/SSD-up-to-12h-battery-Typ-C-Thunderbolt-etc.tuxedo) from @tuxedocomputers & they kindly agreed to preinstall Pop!_OS 18.04 for me (thank you, Vinzenz, you rock!)
I maxed it out with an i7 4-core CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB Samsung Pro SSD & a QHD+ screen that I plan to run at 200% HiDPI.
This will be my main dev machine going forward. Can’t wait! :) https://mastodon.ar.al/media/1uMEIMJwnL3akninfBE

This company that sells clothing says it had to stop selling to EU because of GDPR. This image IS their site now, it says: "Blame your government (no, really)".
Really though? It's that hard to sell me clothes while respecting my privacy? You only have to blame yourself on this one 😂

"sometimes it feels like people only love your mask because you only show them your mask, but trust that they know its a mask, that they care about its author, and that they are perceptive enough to see you behind it"
PSA: if a user habitually boosts stuff you don't want to see, you can turn off boosts just for them without unfollowing them
view their profile in the regular masto UI and you'll see a "Hide boosts from X" in the hamburger menu
this can make the whole experience a lot less annoying, but it's not well-known!

I’ve decided to set a rejection goal for myself. 100 rejections this year for job or creative submissions.
I’m already at 4. Going to have to step up my game!
The beauty of Mastodon is not only that it is free and open but that it’s federated. You can fork it without losing access to the network or your social graph. There’s no reason a hundred forks couldn’t exist.
Also, when did forking become an insult? As far as I’m concerned, it’s the biggest compliment you can pay a project. And if you fork and stay federated, you’re actually helping to strengthen the fediverse!
What you can’t do is force people to build what you want out of entitlement.
