Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

  • A Jellycat Dexter. So adorable but silly expensive for a cuddly thing (I was rewarding myself after having to go into hospital for an invasive test).

    When I was growing up, if I wanted anything it was, “do you need it?”. This was drilled into me so much I feel a bit guilty for buying random things even though I can afford them, and I always think long and hard about purchases very rarely buying anything on impulse. Usually I see something and have to go back (weeks) later to buy it after it has been playing on my mind.


  • Yeah, same. I used to care about my job, but after lots of changes it appears that my opinion isn’t worth much any more, and whatever I do there’s one particular person who constantly complains that they had to fix something I did (yet doesn’t tell me at the time, I always find this out later during a rant/comment), or that I haven’t done something which is apparently vitally important simply because he decrees it so, and if I try to improve things that’s wrong too (despite that he seems to get away with “improving” things with no comeback and no fights - which has previously meant my responsibilities are no longer mine). Basically he’s the bane of my working life at the moment and he isn’t even management. So now I’m done with caring and just try to stick to stuff I do which either nobody else wants to do or nobody else knows much about, and if that doesn’t fill up much of my day so be it. At least that’s not going to be constantly questioned and it looks like I’m still valuable.

    Platform Name: Mastodon

    • Accounts: Lots, Main one on oldbytes.space

    • Apps: Tusky

    • Uses: Mostly following retrocomputing folk, and running friendly bots.


    Platform Name: Lemmy

    • Accounts: This one is my main, a few bot accounts and others just for creating communities

    • Apps: Connect

    • Uses: You all know what this is! I also run a few posting bots


    Platform Name: Mbin

    • Accounts: Fedia.io

    • Apps: None, was testing Artemis until it went AWOL

    • Uses: Hosting a few communities still. Was my main Lemmyesque account but Kbin was horribly unreliable. Mbin seems much better but waiting for app support as I like Connect more than the mobile web interface.


    Platform Name: Bookwyrm

    • Accounts: wyrms.de

    • Apps: None

    • Uses: Logging and reviewing books I’ve read, keeping track of what is on my pile of books still to read.


    Platform Name: Takahē

    • Accounts: Technically one, but it supports multiple profiles

    • Apps: Tusky

    • Uses: Mostly testing, run a few minor accounts there because the multiple profiles feature is ace.


    Platform Name: Funkwhale

    • Accounts: One (can’t remember domain offhand)

    • Apps: None

    • Uses: My bots also post here, I’ve never managed to get federation working on it though.


    I think that’s it. I did have a PeerTube account but the instance it was on closed down, and I haven’t bothered to make a new one elsewhere.


  • I had to buy an adapter. I much prefer wired earphones, as somebody else commented, it’s much easier to switch wired ones between devices. With wireless you also have the issue of disconnecting them if you want audio through the phone speaker. I hate Bluetooth anyway.

    I also prefer the earphones which sit just in the ear, rather than the current style of ones that need to be forced inside. I don’t think you can get wireless earphones like that, probably because they would be lost easily. I like proper headphones too (so that’s an option for wireless), but they are quite bulky so not always convenient.
