Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months (if that) on Mastodon, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".

It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

Corporate 'Social' Media
Is a competition space for gaining followers, ego-boosting, & self promotion. It is how they are built & designed. A few massively circulated posts, from handful of accounts & a vast sea of ignored posts.

Community
Is a cooperative space for finding friends, learning stuff, supporting each other &having fun. With attention spread between users far more evenly. It is not a social overlords vs serf audience model.

I bet the massive (and growing) resource consumption of cloud computing is largely because seemingly every CI job downloads (a) an entire operating system, (b) a full set of pinned dependencies, (c) the full version control history of your project, then (d) builds all of them from scratch, then (e) it’s all thrown away and run again because you just force-pushed a typo fix.

Well folks - it's Friday. If Kirk Douglas were here today - he's want you to be too.

So with the upcoming UK general election I got inspired to make a fun little toy:

https://github.com/twitchy-ears/2024-uk-general-election-bingo

Basically its some PHP that generates very simple/awful web pages with a CSV file as a data source (yeah it should be an SQLite DB or just statically generated data - I know) to act as random bingo cards to play along with the election, cross them off as they lose their seats :)
