The sky just isn't quite the right shade of pink.

... what I'm reminded of when it's a lovely day, but just one tiny flaw in it is irrationally annoying.

So I reckon @tariqk 's overnight ramblings about his kids and random stuff will be one of those fondly remembered legends of early mastodon. A giggly pleasure to start the day.

doesn't help that my maternal grandfather was so famous with his alcoholism that it's been immortalized in my nation's history

I'm not joking. also, i'm not telling you who he is.

there's this thing where i do when o engage in a social medium in which i just talk about that fukdam thing like incessantly. it's terribly boring in hindsight

= MASTODON =
WHAT THEY EXPECTED: a VC backed startup intending to destroy twitter
WHAT THEY GOT: a bunch of cyberpunk kids hanging out behind the mall

Even though I never get close to 500 here it's nice to be able to express an entire coherent thought without going like 11 characters over and then having to discard it in frustration.

^^^ that is 185 characters and so is not tweetable!!!

@TheAdmin so today my Home column is empty, saying i'm not following anyone yet (which is not true btw). Same on Amaroq. The posts, including mine, that were there yesterday are gone. Is there just a short time horizon for their visibility or something?

Markdown support would be nice. Does it work?
`code chunk`
```code block```

@SwiftOnSecurity is here now so I basically have no reason to go back to birb site

I don't keep up with Ubuntu these days outside of running an instance of server on my VPS, but TIL 18.04LTS is shipping with GNOME as its default DE as opposed to Unity

That's.....interesting

ok, that seems to be the case. original posts show up, replies presumably thread under it. That... makes sense. Federated is going to become a firehose pretty quickly as it is. ๐Ÿ˜…

so i did a reply, and the reply didn't turn up on local or federated timelines. do only original posts, non-replies show up there?

So I just reflexively followed @SwiftOnSecuirty here to mastodon.cloud. Is it possible to migrate a user/account name to a different instance later if I decide another home is more appropriate? or is there no need because account names disambiguated by instance?
