The makers of @pixelfed, the Fediverse photo sharing platform, have just created a slick new guide to the Fediverse at:

https://fediverse.info

It's got a list of Fedi projects, a list of mobile apps for Fedi platforms and an opt-in directory of people to follow.

The directory is particularly interesting as it works very differently to FediFollows or Trunk. You add hashtags to your profile plus a special extra hashtag #Fedi22, then submit your profile to the site, and it will become searchable for the tags in your profile.

(And, yes, Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, see here for details: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/108215973331591896)

We - all my parallel universe selves and I - got together in a big conference, to discuss differences and commonalities. The former was easier than the latter; we could not find anything all agreed on, until one proposed:
"I wonder if I'd still be me, had my life been different."

My week involved deleting Windows from my personal laptop.

It didn’t start out as my plan, but it was the result of my deciding to do a little partition “tidy-up and re-arranging”, to give me some more space where I actually needed it and where I could better use it.

An unattended side-effect of this tidy-up was that I made my Windows partition unbootable. As I set about fixing this, I realised there was almost nothing left I actually needed it for… and if I did then either WINE or a VM would suffice. So I stopped fixing it and and simply blew it away. Last week, was the end of dual-booting for me.

My Firefox profile has been getting a bit slow and I decided to clean it up a bit. First place to start is all my open tabs… So I “Select all tabs” and save them to a bookmark folder.

That was easy. Now to delete/close those tabs and I get the following warning: “Do you really want close 4132 tabs?”

I knew I had a few tabs open but I didn’t realise it was that much!

> Facebook is down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Decentralised social networks with nomadic identity and near realtime mirrors/snapshots. It's not just a good idea. It's a bloody great idea.
