@postmasterdoggo Are those some DIY / de-bezelled monitors? Nice

@postmasterdoggo Oh wait, I just scrolled down. Nice job!

@postmasterdoggo I'm like unreasonably happy with my 1080p monitor mounted to a mic stand FWIW blog.lmorchard.com/2017/01/09/

Since I'm playing around with more code streaming, my spot on the couch is starting to resemble a crew station on the Rocinante

The only thing that would make this better is if I had a system for automatically injecting me with hot espresso when I hit heavy Gs

"‘Hollow Knight’ and ‘Death’s Gambit’ Get Physical Editions"

Sigh. Alright. *unzips wallet*

Hot take: t.co links in a toot smell bad

@nolan Hey, by the way, since I just recently set up camp here while my own instance is unreliable: Thanks for running this instance!

@nolan Possibly, also probably my own fault / opportunity to finally rummage around in Mastodon & ActivityPub and learn more about how it works

Test toot from Pinafore. Jiminy Cricket, this thing *is* fast.

@poss_bot Personally, I'd say if you're not a social media manager role-playing as a restaurant chain for product placement, you're probably good.

Although, I could see a place for an instance devoted to folks roleplaying as fake brands just for shits & giggles.

Like Dornkin Dornuts trashing Dunny's all day and McDornalds swings in with shade.

All of these need to be accounts on an instance like brands.lol but I really really want to keep myself from registering that domain and creating that instance

Also: Anyone remember Wacky Packages?

@Elizafox I don't have anything smart to say except also thank you for sharing those experiences. Way more grounded & realistic than "OMG MASTODON OUR SAVIOR GOOD & PURE IN EVERY WAY"

So, I haven't deleted my Facebook & Twitter accounts yet. But I'm thinking about it a lot.

Switched off all notifications years ago. No apps installed, only web. Dropped down to only checking Facebook once a week. Twitter's headed for the same.

Got close friends & family on Facebook I don't really hear from in any other way. Got decade-old acquaintances on Twitter who I've only known from that channel.

It's a tough transition, and of course I've got all the privilege in the world.

Of course, I've also got a metric ton of social anxiety, so computer-mediated-communication is pretty much my main social prosthetic. So, dropping those familiar channels is a lot like moving to a new city / planet.

Alright, firing up the code stream. Making an espresso, battening the hatches, and then I turn on the camera twitch.tv/lmorchard

@snailix@scicomm.xyz Which decoration? I can't find it
