I think the tiny communities of people fixing and using old tech that exist all over the web are truly beautiful. Random people coming together to help each other fix equipment most would throw away, cherishing and giving it as long a life as they can.

Here's a tiny snapshot I just ran across in the comments for a review of a Laserdisc player (originally manufactured in 1991).

bilious political talk 

@Elizafox Praise of corporations' supposed niceness reminds me a little of the "he's the kind of guy you'd love to have a beer with" image that got pasted onto the lesser Bush

@Felthry Obviously it would consist of those lines in neon's emission spectrum that do not fall within the visual range, i.e. the UV and near-infrared lines.

@GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town doesn't look I'm missing much by blocking him!

white genocide 

@Chris_John well, you didn't last long!

@GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town did this Chris fellow post something that he then deleted immediately? I only see your response, and his sarcastic response to that.

@bool I'll keep it in mind! The rest of my plurality and I have already done a spell of instance-jumping, however, so we're a bit inclined to stay put where we've landed for now, but I'm interested

@Canageek Ah, hence the reason for interest in uranyl coordination polymers? as sensitive materials for detecting gases?

I want to get more of my ideas out there. I think I have a few good ones tbh.

adorable! also I like the shirt. *tailswishes*

@HeyImBaejuh@mastodon.social thanks! for what it's worth, while I value the show highly...it's had some real problems

bad instances 

@GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @Canageek@octodon.social if I might interject, I feel that the cybre.space moderator's precipitant decision to block the entire kitty.town instance because of his personal beef with @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town is, in itself, unprofessional enough to flag cybre.space as dubious.

@HeyImBaejuh@mastodon.social I can probably catch up in a hurry if you like, although it'll have to wait until later in the day XD

@HeyImBaejuh@mastodon.social ah, let me see...I left off at "Room for Ruby"

@HeyImBaejuh@mastodon.social I am (as you might be able to tell from my icon and bio) although I am several episodes behind.
