Here we go again, another example of outright censorship. It's not even about policy, Twitter simply clearing our people they don't like. That's why I use Mastodon and highly recommend it to everyone as the one way stay free in your expression. nytimes.com/2022/01/02/technol

Exited news first ever server being deployed in to the wild. This one rocking Raspberry Pi 3 and running DNS hole with private DNS server because first!

This is something we need people with bigger audiences to realize. Sure, Twitter has that "special sauce" that just keeps you scrolling for hours and hours. It's in Twitter's best interest to rope you in. It's that same "special sauce" that means that the majority of your followers don't see your posts unless they explicitly go looking for them. They're there, but they're not in that feed curated by Twitter to make them the most money.

I used to not have an opinion on #TikTok. I'm old and never bothered to look at it myself. Then my youngest daughter found it and fell in love with it. Now, I quite literally hate TikTok. It's like someone took the worst parts of #Youtube and made a new app out of just that garbage.

Sometimes ignorance of manufacturers is astonishing, and being Linux user you have to fight through that ignorance every day. So I am glad to announce that I completed quest of connecting those headphones to my laptop. Those won't pair, for no reason, so as a work around I had to trust that device in bluetoothctl then I removed device from BT setting and then :) I was finally able to pair. Beats decided to ignore part of the market, for no reason, but sounds is comparable to my Sennheiser.
