Mastodon Feed
Picking a title for the App Store page is not easy. Just "Mastodon" is taken by someone - I can't find who or what. So needs more words. "for iOS" is redundant and not permitted. "Decentralized" is so long it doesn't leave any characters for the noun. Besides, I don't want any technical jargon. Any words that a random internet user won't immediately recognize. Twitch has it so easy with its "Twitch: Live Game Streaming". Short and clear.

@technomancy @charlag Yeah the thing that bothers me other than having to configure various websites before they will work is that PRs exist entirely outside of git, *and* seem superfluous to me since I can contribute just fine without them elsewhere. If it was just an optional web UI on top of standard git features it would be fine and good for me.

@owl @charlag github is easier for people who have been trained to use github and nothing else; no question about it. centralization and monopolies are definitely slick and seductive.
but it's possible just to use github as just another random place to store a publicly visible git remote. if someone tells me "hey I have a branch up here with some changes, can you merge them?" I don't care where it's hosted.

# Software From Another World
> We undermine not only unions, but every aspect of the worker's life: AirBnB spikes rents, Uber disenfranchises drivers, a thousand streaming services reinvent cable, Amazon fucks everybody, and so on. Despite any niche expertise, these are companies made possible by software, by the lending of software labor to capitalist ends. We can choose to deny them, if we stand together.

(Also, my history of using Linux is a bit more complicated then I can fit in a toot. I have been consistently using Linux on the desktop for the last decade. Prior to that, there was a few years break from general burnout on all things computer. I mean, for a while, I didn't even have a working computer at home. And prior to that I dual-booted for a long time starting in the mid 90s, and consistently used Linux on small server deployments. Anyhoo....)

1. us congress recently passed a law to make it illegal for ISPs to charge an equipment fee on hardware that you already own, yay
2. at&t fiber-to-the-home evades this by placing secret authentication keys into their otherwise standard combo wifi router + ont (fiber modem).
so you ahem, could, wink, use your own equipment, but the service won't work when you do 🤢

I see a lot no-context posts that amount to, "Random something crashing on my computer. [Expletive] Linux/FOSS!" So let me throw this out there:
I've been using Linux as my desktop environment personally and at work for almost a decade now. It's been a solid experience regardless of distro. I am grateful for the ease of use and all the wonderful tools that are easily installed. I never feel like I am hindered by the environment beyond proprietary vendors that don't support Linux.

If I turn the TV off, the Switch automatically enters sleep mode, and the controllers turn off. Then when I press the home button on the controller, the Switch wakes up, and in turn wakes up the TV.
Is that some HDMI feature? It has to be I guess?
(I never had HDMI before so it's newfangled to me.)

further clarification: of the special boards posted above, they both use Matias Quiet click switches; one is birch with Apple AEKII caps and the other is acrylic (open sides) with caps from an Apple IIgs.
the other boards will be laser cut birch with blank black DSA keycaps and Kailh switches. I can do one with Box white clicky switches and one with Burnt Orange quiet; (first come first serve) and the others will use Speed Copper quiet switches.
