This Mastodon account is running in Safe Mode for a bit, maybe until tomorrow morning. I won't be pinning or boosting any posts on this account, or making changes to the bio.
Crucial posts will be posted on @james@pleroma.jamesp.org. Please go follow me there instead of this account for now.
Do you see why DistroToot didn't last so long?
I feel like I follow too many accounts on this instance and my Timeline is too cluttered. I might have to follow some of you guys on alt accounts such as @james@rojogato.com and @james@gleasonator.com, maybe sign up for more Mastodon/Pleroma instances.
Do you believe #Microsoft has taken over #Linux?
This article might help:

Also, the developer of #systemd went to work for Microsoft.

I'm thinking that installing #Pipewire on Arch Linux was a wasted effort as #PulseAudio worked fine for me, and Pipewire introduced a bunch of new compatibility problems. The KDE startup sound also doesn't play anymore.
I'm trying to record computer audio with Audacity.
#Microsoft is updating their terms of service again. They are now going to start blocking contents of your email based on what you say or upload.
The terms take effect August 15, 2022.
On #Mastodon, for larger instances such as https://mastodon.social, you should use the #Explore Tab to discover new users and posts, since the local and federated timelines will be choked.
For smaller instances, it might be harder to maintain the Explore tab, however, the Local and Federated Timelines should be much easier to handle.
For personal instances, why do we need a local timeline? The Federated Timeline should be easy to handle, though.
Just found out that #Linode merged with Akamai two days ago. I use Linode for https://jamespearson.xyz and https://pleroma.jamesp.org. Should I migrate anywhere?
Dear YouTube Music,
I rather like that you've learned my tastes well enough to recommend a personal mix, but when you follow up amazing United Pursuit epic worship ballads with Azerbaijani Folk Music, and then The Pointer Sisters, it leaves me feeling a bit discombobulated.
I like them all, just not at the same time.
This week in KDE: Easier Samba sharing setup, Plasma Timer applet received a big overhaul and many improvements in screen and monitor management.

Just installed #postmarketOS onto my #PinePhone!
