Je suis en train de lire "le grand abandon" par @pluralistic que j'ai trouvé un peu par hasard dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier. Je sais que c'est un peu cliché de dire ça, mais ce roman de scifi publié en 2017 est étonnement pertinent à ce que se passe actuellement dans le monde et plus particulièrement en France (la parallèle entre les polices chassant les abondonneurs et le mouvement de lycéen.ne.s ne m'a pas échappé)

@neil hmmm. Dark these younglings are. Approve I do.

@brhfl @u0421793 maybe because there are so many inexpensive fm synths out there? Not sure...I would honestly love to have one of each! 50% off is about what they should cost imo. $500 is a lot...but they're great.

I have the CP (electric pianos) and the CS (CS-inspired polysynth). They are both so fun and easy to use!

you tell me I shouldn't name my projects after farts, and yet backblaze is a relatively respected company

I like PeerTube, and appreciate everything the developers have done to make it a better platform. It's actually relatively cheap and pretty easy to self-host it these days, but it's kind of a huge headache if you want to operate a large community instance.

I actually wish more creators saw the value in self-hosting.

@zzt i have favourited and boosted it twice

@jwildeboer Na, wenigstens rückt es langsam ins allgemeine Bewusstsein.

# A review of the BigMe B6, an Android colour eInk tablet

In short, for £140 + a micro SD card, I'm really rather pleased with it.

I have not used Tumblr, but I am replying here from my self-hosted Wafrn.

That may be a different experience from joining a Wafrn instance where people imported norms from Tumblr. Most of my follows and followers are probably on Mastodon. The selling point for me is that it speaks both ActivityPub and ATProto so it can also interact with BlueSky accounts directly instead of through a relay.

Wafrn is wild. I don’t use it regularly, but everytime I go there, there are walls of custom emoji reactions, individuals who post wild stuff I don’t understand and hundreds reacting to it with custom emojis that I don’t know the meaning of. I love it.

That was my experience with Pillowfort. It seemed to be a fun club to be a part of, but God did I feel out of touch, I was soooo lost.

@Migueldeicaza You can get little strips with the notes printed on them that go across the top of the keyboard until you get the feel for it.
