If you're just joining fediverse welcome to Mastodon. Cat is not happy about all this work even on caturday. Why?
I had to mute over 200 posts in the last 30 minutes or so. Cleaning up the feeds so you can get to a few good posts will take lots of effort because there's no algorithm
You'll notice many posts come from sources like dlvr ... review them and use filter/block
The imaginative mind.
External sensory input. Processed subjectively by one's particular mood, emotion and humor.
creates internal narratives that can transport the individual to places both dreamt of and unexpected....
Tiens, juste pour le plaisir : une branche de saule cassée retrouvée au bord de l'Ill, et mise à bouturer dans sa longueur. Les bourgeons à l'air vont faire des branches, les bourgeons enterrés vont faire des racines.

Hrm... just some few years ago, a friend and neighbour of mine asked me, for what i use my (way back then arbitrary) Tablet.
Well, i actually used that particular tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 with bluetooth keyboard cover - and some weirdo apple bt magic mouse) for a short while (about half a year) as an actual desktop replacement.... Because i was lacking on any hardware otherwise.
But, to be honest, after i had at least some laptop back up and running, that thing was gone instantly.
Still, there were uses for the tablet right outside the uses of a frickin desktop or laptop computer...... Like:
Checking emails..
Checking in to social media stuff (g+, fuckbook, early-fediverse, you name it)
Checking news.
Watching some videos.
Play some game.
Reading (digital/digitalized) books.
And what? ;)
What are your actual uses for a tablet class device novadays?
I still would use it to read some ebooks in case i'm residing in a clinic or something like that...
“I've learned you can go as far as you want in life, as long as you're willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort. Ask yourself and you will see, you can manifest destiny. Use your mind to create the opportunities you want to experience.”
Concrete experience always overflows abstract and idealized scientific representations of phenomena. There is always more to experience than scientific descriptions can corral. … The failure to see direct experience as the irreducible wellspring of knowledge is precisely the Blind Spot.
The tragedy the Blind Spot forces on us is the loss of what’s essential to human knowledge—our lived experience. The universe and the scientist who seeks to know it become lifeless abstractions.
