People are worried about global warming and social security when the real crisis is that we aren't far away from elderly drivers knowing how to text.

Had the exact change for the self service till in the supermarket today, but what I thought was a penny turned out to be €0.05. So close to getting rid of all that shrapnel...

NICE. Launch day going smooth so far at Vivaldi! We released version 1.9 today, adding Ecosia as a default search engine option.

Ecosia uses 80% of its ad revenue to fund tree-planting projects around the world (apparently planting 7M+ already!).

Quite cool to give our users a friendly option. 😀

adding curry powder to my pizza dough mix was a good idea.

Just got back from the British Juggling Convention which was ace. Got many pages of notes, will be writing up my experience over the next few days.

Is there any way to view another instance's local timeline without setting up a new account? Seems like people would benefit from seeing what the local instance is like before signing up.

Hmm, I had to trim that last toot down, 500 characters is not enough!

I think it is great that people are curious to ask about the federated nature of Mastodon, you should understand the software you are using.

You can simply think of the local timeline as 'lots of people' & the federated timeline as 'lots more people'. It's not going to spoil your enjoyment of using the service.

Mastodon feels like IRC/ICQ to me you don't necessarily know who is going to be in the room. So what if you don't know anyone here yet. That is a good thing. Burst your bubble!

Right, I'm now all packed for spending a week camping at the British Juggling Convention starting tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing lots of friends I haven't seen since last year's event.

A whole week away from the internet, I'm going to be pissed if Mastodon mothballs while I'm away.

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor
"Is it tougher to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

Do you get points or anything for listing how many failed social media sites you have been a part of?

MSN messenger
G+
Streetlife
Diaspora

I think people signing up to 'reserve' their username are going to be very disappointed when they truly grasp how federation works & what that means.

Back when email was more popular did people sign up the same name @ different email providers?

@jonmccull HiJon, loving Vivaldi, has anyone asked you when the email client is coming on Mastodon yet :P
