The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

…or voted for Harris.

American political lexicon is stunted (probably deliberately). I volunteered my time and donated my money for Bernie’s campaign, and prefer to go by “progressive” since it hits the main points and has an actual caucus in Congress.

The conservatives I know call me a liberal (if they’re feeling nice), but they also know it’s not accurate, they’re just trying to sow chaos on the left.

Jill betrayed her country. 🤷‍♂️

Just solved an issue with transcoding where I had to delete the codec. It redownloads on server launch so was an easy fix.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

There’s been a rash of new accounts posting right-wing garbage the last few weeks. I just block them.

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

(edit): Point taken, but “playing the guitar” still wins by a mile

What’s rough about it? I’ve never been a twitter guy so can’t really compare, but I have a Mastodon account that I pop into periodically, and it works fine.

His supporters are selling “I’m voting for the convicted felon” merch already. Wouldn’t have made a difference, man.

The same apps I always used no longer work because of OS requirements. The “download older version” feature is extremely hit and miss (mostly miss).

The device works fine and is functionally useless because Apple said so. That’s not cool with me. Android might be just as bad, I don’t know — I’m sticking with FOSS mostly these days and just don’t have a working tablet anymore.

He probably not in Illinois, so that cuts a lot out.

So weird that he’s been a complete ghost all year.

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

I loved my old mini 2, but the forced obsolescence is bullshit and I’ll never buy another iPad.

The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.

Was just talking to a buddy about how the Bills don’t have a reliable receiver.

I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.
