@evan

One Raspberry Pi HW plus 2 Raspberry Pi Desktops on rejuvenated old Windows notebooks

Pi Desktop can really extend the life of tired old Windows PCs for general life stuff

One thing about the fediverse: you don't see a lot of people in your feed saying things like, "Here I am on the Hellsite, psychologically damaging myself and others. This network is bad for me in almost every way but my addiction keeps me stuck here, coming back again and again for more toxic interactions because I guess I'm just a stupid piece of garbage. Who else is disgusted with themselves but unable to escape? Let's get a show of hands."

Not been on the Birdshite for over a year but it sounds like it has got a lot worse

On a positivity scale of -100 (horrendous) 0 (neutral) +100 (euphoric) I would put my range of experience on the Fediverse as -20 to +80 .. and the Birdshite -100 to +10

@evan

rarely

If it is a very close friend who I know very well, I might make an exception

Anyone?
