So far I'm at the "everything sucks" part of #enshitiffication and looking forward to the "and what to do about it" part, because god damn this is upsetting.

The little Meshtastic node inside of my ThinkPad T420s is surprisingly good (one of the antennas measured quite well for the frequencies used, so I wired it in. I assume it was meant for GNSS? Or UMTS?).

I'm getting a bit annoyed with incomplete profiles on the fediverse. Has anybody managed to create a practical solution to this problem yet?

As much as I'd like to keep Fedi notifications on 24/7, this community if far too global. I get notifications at all hours of the day and night from random interactions all over the world.
What a wonderful place.

I've been a daily smoker of marijuana for half my life (started at 14 and I'm approaching 30).
I finally decided it's time to quit.
It's been pretty easy so far (and honestly quite refreshing), but the lack of sleep is starting to drive me a bit crazy.

#davidchartrand of the #manitoba #métis Federation has been the president for 28 years. He's getting up there in age and considering retirement, yet I can't imagine anybody replacing him. The #mmf wouldn't be where it is today without him.

Holy shit y'all ... My local hospital just emailed that I have a message in my medical chart. Sure, my doctor puts stuff there and I get it through the same system. No problem. I log in, it's a message from the hospital stating they're now offering new services!

Okay for the first time since 2020 I'm giving KDE a solid try outside of using it on my Steam Deck. Going to keep using GNOME with Fedora on my laptop and KDE with CachyOS on my desktop for now.

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #steamos phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #postmarketos on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard […]

#gnome is actually the ideal interface for a mobile device. I wonder if my #oneplus6 is finally reliable enough to use #postmarketos full time. Maybe my next device will be something powerful that can run #linux from day 1.

The Fediverse seems quieter since moving to my self hosted instance. Not sure if that's because I don't appear on the local timeline on Fosstodon, or if I've just been posting and interacting less.
