| valorie | from #kubuntu: [12:18] <jamesp> mastodon.technology is shutting down. kubuntu will need to move to another mastodon instance, such as fosstodon.org | 20:08 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | I no longer do masto - who does? | 20:08 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I have one on fosstodon.org | 20:08 |
| valorie | I guess just set one up for us and share the login creds? | 20:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I can do that. | 20:10 |
| valorie | the reason I don't do it anymore is that my instances have disappeared one too many times | 20:10 |
| valorie | god only knows what will happen with twitter | 20:10 |
| valorie | perhaps greed will keep Our New Twit Overlord from going insane | 20:11 |
| valorie | not holding my breath tho | 20:11 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> Setup : https://fosstodon.org/@kubuntu | 20:13 |
| valorie | looks good! | 20:14 |
| valorie | and lol, people on masto are still talking about twitter | 20:15 |
| valorie | love it | 20:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I've seen folks talking about cohost.org as well. | 20:15 |
| valorie | well, it IS important | 20:16 |
| valorie | we've long been run by oligarchs, but they are making it so obvious now | 20:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I've been ready for moving to Mastodon if needed but so far nothing has made me think of moving. | 20:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> It's been helpful for getting my streaming going. | 20:17 |
| valorie | I've not seen anything to replace it, right | 20:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I mean Mastodon is meant to replace it. | 20:18 |
| valorie | there is a significant genealogy community there and I learn lots that helps me and my society | 20:18 |
| valorie | sure | 20:18 |
| valorie | but the instances keep disappearing | 20:18 |
| valorie | which is the nature of "free" | 20:19 |
| valorie | one of the reasons I love kubuntu and KDE so | 20:19 |
| valorie | we stick around | 20:19 |
| valorie | and keep getting better | 20:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> It's been interesting seeing a neobank developer in the open in a Discord. | 20:20 |
| valorie | I hope for the same with popos, sys76, kub. focus, ubuntu studio, etc. | 20:20 |
| valorie | neobank? | 20:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> I think the most common word is fintech (finance tech). Like newer banks with better features and UI/UX. | 20:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> Simple Bank was one of them. | 20:21 |
| valorie | got it | 20:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> It's been interesting and rough lately. | 20:21 |
| valorie | I'll bet | 20:21 |
| valorie | world finance is a mess | 20:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> A lot of tech companies have been having bad quarters and ours is no different. | 20:22 |
| valorie | who wants to tangle with the murderous oligarchs? | 20:22 |
| valorie | ours are bad but so far they haven't been into mass murder | 20:23 |
| valorie | bad visual puns are silly, but everyone walks away | 20:23 |
| * valorie lets that sink in | 20:24 | |
| valorie | hmmmm 110 tabs - might be time to do a bit of pruning | 20:26 |
