Monterrey in the state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico.

Everybody’s last name there is Garza.

Yes, electron.

And their desktop client technically is a browser without omnibar.

I’ve started seeing some deleted by creator comments here, lot of those with lots of upvotes.

It reminds me to those cartoons made for the Gameboy.

And without data caps.

When I was young, I did not only play with MS Paint but with Character Map.

It is quite interesting.

I was in the same boat, until my prayers weren’t listened and my hopes are now dead.

I lost some important data from my phone a few days ago. My plan was to backup at night but chaos was that same day in the morning.

Sure. Ham people are always open to share their knowledge.

With gnuradio you can download weather imagery with a RTL SDR dongle.

I miss that game.

Ham Radio.

It started with a pair of two-way walkies, talking with a friend in the backyard while sitting in my bed and then you’re pointing to satellites and the ISS to download weather and old space images.

That would be cool. Like good ol’ times.

Nowadays people share information on Instructables or Hackster without any (visible) incentive.

It would be nice if they start sharing info in just plain HTML, with inline styles and low quality GIFs.

Yeah this is becoming popular.

But in general, people somehow prefer platforms that look like Twitter.

Mastodon, Pleroma (and Gab, Truth based on Mastodon) and others are very similar in functionality with twitter.

I had the same thought yesterday. Every new social network or any new alternative is only a Twitter clone.

And just now I am thinking it’s because people want attention but not discussion.

I write my post, tweet it and it’s done.

This is the best part about threads using the fediverse.

We’ll be able to follow people (mostly celebrities, news and sports who don’t use Mastodon) without installing the app.

Arch has many other advantages from my point of view. Like for example the wiki that also users of other distributions use.

I remember when started using #! and then Debian with Openbox. It didn’t matter what problem I had, the answer and solution were always in the Arch Wiki.

Now I am full Arch user.

I always try to answer even though I know the answer is on Google.

Either because it may be a more up-to-date version or because you simply never know when other websites will stop being available and therefore that source of information will be lost. Also because many times no matter how hard one searches before asking, sometimes we do not know the concepts we want to reach and our search is limited.

Imagine if everyone responded with “Just Google It”, we would never find an answer to anything.

I really hate that mantra and it should be part of “If you don’t have anything to contribute, don’t comment.”

Then I’ll going to self host my own instances.

Among others, Gulliver’s Travels from 1996 with Ted Danson SPA-LAT.

Not even legal.

My instance shows far less comments than the original instance. Somebody knows why?

The instance where I am federates normally with any other instances, but always notice there are far less comments and need to follow the original instance’s link so I can read all the comments.
