Move slow and fix things.

I'm an unsponsored PeerTuber/YouTuber making videos about Linux, vintage tech, and owning your digital destiny. I'm also a nerdy musician in a nerdy band with other nerds you might know.

@_elena I've noticed a lot of folks have no idea what "Substack" is. They see a newsletter. It has information they agree with. They sign up. They don't think about it beyond that.

Basically, if we want to take a bite out of the SS, I think we need to educate folks on what the uniform looks like.

IMO that has to go hand-in-hand with reaching out to writers in our lives and encouraging them to look at alternatives.

People seem shocked when I mention I use Debian for my desktop. "How?" they ask.

The answer is dead simple: Flatpak solves virtually every problem I have with packages being older.

I love it so much.

Every day I try to remember the paradox of convenience:

When a tool is challenging early, it sucks early, but often it's great later.

When a tool is easy early, it sucks later.

Discord broke my API access a few days ago, and said I "broke their rules" for "spam".

At no point have they told me what I posted which broke their rules.

All I've done? Host a bridge to Matrix.

A couple of weeks ago I put out a video about 90s-era Linux on a Power Mac. I need to write up a blog post about this but here you go if you want to watch it.

If you got rejected yesterday trying to follow this new GoToSocial account, I'm sorry! Feel free to try again. There were some hitches in the setup that I had to figure out.

@gabboman I haven't migrated any accounts just yet, just trying it out first to see how I like it, find some clients I might like, and a bit of stress testing!

Hello GoToSocial! Is this thing on? Can you see this?

Does it break my new server?
