To be brutally honest, mastodon isn’t appealing to average people. Picking a server and client is too complicated, it’s mostly full of FOSS and Linux nerds, and the lack of a good discovery algorithm prevents them from finding content they are interested in.

Unfortunately, average people don’t care about federation. They get confused when they click a link from a different mastodon instance and it’s not the same website. Why aren’t they logged in anymore? They don’t know. Website must be broken. They don’t know or care about the differences between instances and clients and protocols. It’s just an app that they download and don’t see any of their friends or content they care about, so they stop using it.

The rear door release is not meant to be used in an emergency, it would be impossible to child lock the door. The front doors have very prominent handles and the rear passengers can climb over.

My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year

It can be used as a verb too, it just means to flirt with someone.

I really hope he has a good plan to pass the reigns to someone with the same integrity and philosophy.

Planet of the rising temperatures more like

I’m going to go drop off my ballot and sit back and wait for the results. There is nothing more I can do so there’s no sense in worrying about it. Focus on things you can actually change.

When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.

The Model 3 and Model Y have regular door handles.

 

Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.
