masto admin psa: if you see brazilian users posting the word "poc", it means a pejorative slur against effeminate gay men, so take that as you will

as for the etymology, as far as i've been told, it's claimed to be the onomatopoeia for the sound of high heels walking

If any of you are feeling particularly masochistic maybe try solving this puzzle I made in early 2015: It's 64*64 divided into 8*8 chunks and the end result should be a 64*64 square as well.I don't think there are any obvious edges.

I'll probably post the solution later, but I want to see if anyone cares to try~

(also let me see your solution or how far you got! It might be wise to split the thing into the individual pieces first.)

Good luck~ :D

I'm tired of this idea that if you run Linux you should be able to use the terminal and you must be a developer or hacker. My dad happily uses Linux and he barely knows how to turn on a computer. Some non-techy people just like privacy and freedom.

So you know why social networks started curating timelines? Because as soon as the network gets too big, any timeline becomes a firehose and you start missing out on stuff.

This reminds me again of #IRC chat rooms. Those too are firehoses, and worse, you have to be online to drink from them. And I just realised,, I like this fine.

So I'm starting to think that I should lose my #FearOfMissingOut with Masto and just enjoy the ride. The good stuff will get boosted anyway so I'll end up seeing it.

I am only a man sitting and thinking and a poor student; but if you were to ask me for a prescription to fix this, I’d say:

Reach out to your friends, one-on-one. Let them know you care about them and they’re important to you. Their public selves may be well-connected, but their private selves may be an island starved of the real, deep connections they need to thrive.

It’s a big leap. But the rewards are so worth it.

Meanwhile...

tired: "coming to PC" == "only released for Windows"

wired: "coming to PC" == "it runs on bare metal. if it's IBM compatible, it will run it."

or

"we ported it to everything that has a graphical display and a C compiler"

Idea: Small speakers attached to every street lantern in town, all tuned to a certain wavelength / connected to the same source and at low volume. The source plays the GC Animal Crossing track appriopriate for the hour all day long.

GAY CRIMES

Stop. Take three slow deep breaths.

Ask for help when you need it. It sounds simple, but trying to handle everything without help causes stress and anxiety for a lot people.
