Eat the bugs and be happy.

Has me thinking of my social media platforms history. I'm trying to remember my MySpace days and what that offered, can't recall much though besides customizing my home page. Facebook afterwards was fun, but juggling the different "friends"became a pain later. There were people you didn't want to see updates from, but didn't want to "unfriend". They fixed that now, but at the time I don't remember if they offered a fix to that. Afterwards I was on Google+ for the longest. They focused on friend circles. You could organize and control how posts were seen by different circles, they offered a bevy of services and apps, like chat, video calling, groups, and events, then tried focusing more on the content than people, and I don't think even THEY could keep up with maintaining all those different features and services. After G+ I tried MeWe which also went with the Facebook model, but with a freemium twist. Everyone had a limited amount of storage they had access to and could pay for added features, like access to host a group page, calls, more storage, as we'll as custom emojis. Couldn't stick with it and tried out the Fediverse. Was an a Mastodon server first then a Pleroma one. That was really fun in the beginning. Finding a server with interesting people to start conversations with and follow, but what got annoying was losing accounts when your server died if you weren't self hosting. That could happen because the person hosting was getting shit from OTHER servers, burnt out administratng, or any reason. I was able to bring friends into the Fediverse, but after losing their home servers twice they lost interest, which was fair. After that it was trying and learning about self hosting a soapbox instance, but that was costing me money, which was becoming tight for me. Nostr has been fun so far. Different and relatively simple. Going to be a bit harder to convince my friends to hop on after their Fediverse experience though. View article →

I tend to have friends over for board games and pizza, but one of them learned they're lactose intolerant. Next night over might have to skip ordering pizza and try for a home made vegan one. Found this online for the cheese alternative. Hope it'll work out.

If I print my pubkey on my stuff could that be used to prove I owned it? Like I got robbed found my stuff in a pawn shop, but show them the matching pubkey on the bottom, would that be enough proof?

Does Snort.Social not like chromium based browsers? The tab always freezes when I try it on either Vivaldi or Brave.

I swear YouTube on mobile browser is getting worse. I'm learning to appreciate NewPipe application more and more.

I'd like to purchase something like this down the line. I have a Steam Deck I'm happy with, but something more pocketable for things like airplane rides would sweet.
