What unique presents can I buy for people for #Christmas that won't give money to #corporate assholes and maybe are things of beauty and quality that are actually worth buying, and perhaps will be things the receiver with actually keep instead of giving them to a #CharityShop in the new year?
Wouldn't it be good if there was some kind of cataloguing on Fedi that means whenever you mention a movie, tv show or book, it allows you to tag data on that thing so a kind of alt text appears telling you what the hell that movie, TV show or book is.
How powerful are these? I bet they have up to 64k RAM or something
I think this is a CDC 6600 with a man standing inside it like some weirdo. There are more computers at the back & they look like washing machines. I think maybe this man took his CDC 6600 into a laundrette or something. Maybe that's what laptops were in those days. He's just doing some work while he waits for his pants to be washed
Maybe the guy isn't wearing any pants. That's why he's standing inside the computer
By entering my mas.to url into the address bar, I noticed a notification of someone who had requested to follow me.
For some reason this request hadn't shown up in the normal mastodon window spread thing - (or perhaps it's called the Mastodon 'Array' in reference to the oft-spoken word in Voyager)
But also: I don't have a locked account so normally people don't need to request.
So ... I'm thinking the ability to block replies is more powerful than #blocking accounts and I think #Fediverse platforms should all include this facility.
And what if you could use the #filter facility in conjunction with reply-blocking to automatically block certain (usually harmful) words?
Both these features would need to be used with good old fashioned blocking, of course. But I think this is an essential feature the Fediverse is missing.
Hey! What kind of #Smartphone can you get that isn't an Android one?
Or any other lousy corporate thing?
But one you can still add lousy corporate apps on if you need to (because lousy friends and relative are lousy and don't care about data harvesting, etc.)
Do you ever search for information online then one of the results has your question, but when you go to the website it's just a load of similar questions, or the same question rephrased over and over, without the answers you're looking for and just a colossal waste of time?
Is that #bot generated content or something because it's a load of shit.
