RE: https://heads.social/@jasonisaacdrums/115552093155018742 @thevhswizard@retro.pizza My best example of this was when I casually posted one of my fave bits of trivia -- that former Fed Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan used to play sax and clarinet with Stan Getz -- and SOMEBODY DROPPED A RECORDING https://mas.to/@jasonisaacdrums@heads.social/115552093184939027

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza I was scrolling and started reading the second paragraph first. I had to actually pause to think about whether this was a real request. I think that proves your point.

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza I can't even get my financed car serviced without the dealership's sales team hassling me about buying another one when I haven't paid off this one. Everytime I get service or repair. 'I just want maintenance. Leave me alone, corpo cogs!' /despair

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza Regular model or the one with the individual love heart light tower? I only ask because they look very similar but have totally different circuitry designed by a different company after the brand was sold to a Korean conglomerate in 1972. Some of the originals were still for sale as new-old stock up till about 1975 if you knew where to look but the love heart tower is a dead giveaway if yours has it.

@EllenB@mastodon.social 2026-06-19 11:13
@thevhswizard@retro.pizza Yes! And it even works for people who aren't hindered by any knowledge and call the parts "thingy with sticky-outy things". So I heard. 😇

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza TBF, though, if your question is something like "how do I make it so my new car (or tv, or fridge) doesn't spy on me?" many of the responses will be "never buy new stuff, I will keep my 1976 Dodge Aspen running for the rest of time to avoid 21st century techbro stuff." Which, I mean, is fair enough, but fails to answer the question. Cf: questions about non-FOSS computing.

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza I suspect it's all about the general clientele that prefers to set up their social media presence in the fediverse as opposed to other places: Decentralized, yet (generally) interoperableMany instances aren't operated for large commercial interestsNot driven by the same kind of algorithms that drive engagement in more centralized platformsSmaller instances/communities can police themselves more effectively, meaning less chance of large-scale muck-ups by bad actors or bots (and if an instance is largely poisoned, it can be de-federated by others) There's a knowledge barrier to entry into the fediverse (choosing the best instance for you, learning how to find and interact with people on other instances, etc.) compared to centralized platforms. But for those who make the effort to understand, it often pays off.

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza Found a 40yr old audio cassette sampler just by describing some random things I could remember after decades. It took the Fediverse ~10 minutes.
