I like the sustained interest & “trend” of the #SocialWeb. I feel like since Bluesky has grown it seems to be a part of the term “Fediverse”. Normal ppl still don’t really know what it is, but it definitely feels like it’s gotten much larger than prev-2024.

Now that the fans on my laptop work again im tempted to install #Linux again. Only issue is I’ve since setup windows perfectly. just wondering how fast it’d run with 16GB of RAM since there’s no CPU throttling now that fans are ok 🤔

ok I managed to get it to boot into the iOS 9 installer (yay!) but it doesn’t activate. gonna try iOS 9.3.5 or else I’ll just do iOS 10. if that doesn’t work then they’ve done something to stop activating old versions of iOS 😭(separate issue from them not signing the IPSW).

not sure what it means by “Record not validated” (especially as I can view the video in the app), but cool that my first video on Spark is on a separate lexicon! They did it right (imo) in that they have their own lexicon, but also use Bluesky’s just to show content! #atproto

How are people’s experiences with #Proton? Only interested in Mail. Been using it already for about 2 years, but idk how I’d switch to it as it seems like you can only forward emails from Google to it? (I use outlook primarily rn).

current status: downloading low-parameter OS AI models to run on my old Dell PC (16GB of RAM and a quad core CPU, but crappy intel integrated graphics!) gonna use this as a way to run local AI without freaking out my Mac (8GB of RAM is limiting for AI..) hopefully the fans aren’t too loud 😅

wow! i’ve been using nextdns for a little over a year now, but finally started paying (since monthly i keep hitting the limit). perfect time to get it. it integrates with tailscale so that i can reroute traffic through it. on top of blocking ads etc.. i can also block social media sites :))

I should probably delete social media for now since I’m nearing my GCSEs but I’ll miss talking to all my friends 😭 maybe I should just delete the mobile apps so I can only access from my computer? idk
