I think I'll stay on Mastodon. I don't like the Firefish UI. I haven't tried Akkoma yet.

Neat. It'd look better with a brass opener though in my opinion.

That's the whole joy of audio that supposed to mess with the signal - it doesn't need high fidelity, high quality, it just needs to do something 'interesting'. The main thing that stops me is a lack of space to set up a mini-workshop. Thanks for the good explanation, I would have never imagined components wanting to do that! The last time I messed with electronics probably was Radio Shack kids kits in the 1980s, the kind where the board had springs sticking out and held resistors and diodes to build AM radios and things with lamps & switches. It'd be good to get into it, but it all seems so hard, complex, and advanced now. I mean Auduino is kinda cool, but it's too much like my day job so I want to go all-analogue. It doesn't stop me wanting to buy an oscilloscope though, just to see what's going on! I think part of that is trust that I'm not going to melt my favourite guitar amp...

Here's hoping that happens, but it still won't fix two things: Firefox is kinda weird and clumsy on mobile, and it'll still need attestation if that's implemented on key websites as a hard-barrier to usage. I'm now on Android (I alternate between the two, so next cycle will be Apple), and even as a highly technical type I don't sideload on there anyway, so I think few will sideload on iOS either.

Probably, which gives more ways to collect data and still uses WebKit underneath.

This is good in some ways and I welcome the BBC to the fediverse as an important step to universal acceptance. It's far better than using flaky bridges from other social networks.

What is disappointing is the very small range of content provided so far, Radio 4 & 5 plus some curiosities. I'd hoped for the excellent 6 Music channel. Let's see if they keep up with the sports in particular on 5. I'm glad that it's divided by station / topic so I can follow only what interests me.

I too would like more national broadcasters to get onboard. CBC I'm sure have some interesting content to share with the world, as do ABC, RTE, NZBC, others? I'd love to have culture from across the globe, which is the real value for Mastodon for me rather than as a news feed.

Wow things really have shrunk. I want to get into electronics to make guitar effect pedals, eventually. This looks really hard, kudos to you for working with such small parts.

Whilst gnome 3 wasn't for we it did have charm and I prefer it over Windows or KDE. I'm using xfce4, and really like Window Maker and CDE, but I get why these wouldn't work well on ultra wide displays. It's all personal preference and finding what works, which is part of my love for Linux.

While you are at it, convince Apple to allow Firefox on iOS, and decline to use WEI in Safari. Otherwise there's no way to avoid WEI on iPhone, and only one mainstream rendering engine free of this insidious malware. Many companies will shy away from it if it breaks mobile apps on the Apple platform.

I use Ansible, Docker, and Emacs OrgMode files committed to Git. Diagrams are a mix of Miro and Graphviz. There's also a few markdowns in there too. Joplin is used for rough notes only.

I run Chrome to use work (Google) email and services, and Firefox for as much as possible. The challenge is that about a 10% of things I use only work properly on Chrome. It's IE6 all over again, history repeating itself.

Register your own domain name with Gandi and they gift you free email with a choice of two webmail interfaces. It's really good, and owning the domain name enables moving to a different provider later if you wish.
