Observation abut the TBS clique 

One thing I notice about the fediclique is that, they literally do not post anything other than political stuff. Like, you never hear about their interests, what they like, etc. It's almost always entirely activist posts, and it's always the most aggressive ones at that.

In my experience being online, people who are only ever activists and do not dedicate any part of their lives to non-political stuff, tend to be really unkind people. Part of this is why I don't even consider myself an activist anymore. Activist crowds are rife with abusive power dynamics and cult thinking, and just generally unkind people

I'm not listed (yet), but I'm going to be showing off the not-disassembled items in my #Psion collection on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November at the Retro Computer Festival.

If you can get to Cambridge that weekend, come say hi!

fun fact in windows if you add a bluetooth device with one bluetooth usb dongle and then lose that dongle and start using a different one you can no longer remove the devices that were paired with the first single and they remain listed in your computer forever
