@sb@metroholografix.ca This hits home for me … I renewed my ham license early this year, and it was an adventure. The Trump-appointed FCC made it a lot trickier in 2017. (I’m now 70, and my call sign is K2OOI! Everything after the “2 ” is a letter, not a number.)

@sb@metroholografix.ca Let's not take for granted the things that are far too easy to take for granted.

@sb@metroholografix.ca @lisamelton@mastodon.social The ones that bring me joy are the ones learning deeply about themselves and others, and transforming their inner and outer worlds. This is energy we need.

@sb@metroholografix.ca I don't think Rob Sawyer is on Mastodon ... yet. For many years he was one of the few carrying the torch of getting Wordstar to run on more modern OSes than DOS x.y. Today, he's the torchbearer for that effort. You can read his thoughts on the subject here: https://www.sfwriter.com/wordstar.htm I think his efforts have a wider applicability. There are too many pieces of software that have been abandoned. That's not to say that more modern software doesn't provide compelling arguments to switch for most users. But the older applications had specific features that sometimes weren't seen as worthy of carrying forward. And with the loss of support for older formats, data is being lost. For the second time today, I have a justification to quote Roy Batty's dying words from Blade Runner: "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

@sb@metroholografix.ca In that vein, this was posted last night by @alipunk@thecanadian.social, and now can't wait to get into cement work. https://thecanadian.social/@alipunk/115405415132534682

@sb@metroholografix.ca Feels to me the closest to a rediscovery of the Internet that we've had so far.

@sb@metroholografix.ca The contrast with the antisocial, capitalist algorithm driven, sociopathic behaviour encouraging platforms is remarkable! I consider the #Fediverse the only truly social network.
