For whatever reason, I keep coming back to this idea of sharing a somewhat random brief moment in time.

What should a person do when they are typing up a Mastodon thread, and it's already almost 400 words before you've started to wrap it up? I estimate this will be over 5 posts.
I need a blog. I doubt I will get any readers or subscribers, but at least I can use it as a journal. Hopefully my Fediverse followers would open a link with a good enough teaser.
Followers, what are you doing when you want to post something long?

New on #blog (this time with quotes from Fedi): "Why Gentoo?"
#Gentoo is perceived by the wider public, the non-users. What probably stands out most is compiling. Almost everyone who heard of Gentoo knows it has something to do with compiling everything. And why are we doing that? Well, besides being hardcore, the common sentiment goes for performance. So yeah, Gentoo users must be some kind of hardcore ricers who try to squeeze every last bit of their system performance.
To be honest, I don’t think that’s a good way to describe Gentoo. Yes, compiling is at the core of it. But performance? I don’t think so, at least not in the obvious, -O9999 -fzomg-fast way. The world has moved on, CPUs have gotten faster, optimizations have gotten smarter, and distributions have started optimizing more aggressively. Optimization-wise, I suspect your average Ubuntu package with generic optimizations may be no slower than the equivalent Gentoo package fine-tuned for your CPU. And if it’s not, then it probably won’t make a real difference anyway.
There’s much more to Gentoo than that. Yes, some of it comes from building from source: the flexibility. But a lot of it comes from the wider Gentoo philosophy, the philosophy that brought us all together. The idea that Gentoo is the distribution we’re making for ourselves and people who enjoy Gentoo. So if I were to make a few arguments for Gentoo, I’d focus on that. And this is what I’d like to do here.

For years, whenever I'd share links to my Wordpress posts on social media the preview image would be seemingly pulled at random, usually ignoring the first image. Finally fixed it yesterday by installing a plugin called "Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags", then checking the box that says,"First image from the post/page content" in the settings. I'm sure there are better ways to fix but it worked for me. Sharing in case anyone still blogs and has the same problem. #wordpress #blog #blogging https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

Turning Seattle itself into a character, with its own arc and everything, sounds intriguing. Curious to see how it turns out.

Social Media kann laut sein – und schnell wieder verschwinden.
Meine digitale Heimat ist mein Blog: ein Ort unter meiner eigenen Kontrolle. Social Media nutze ich vor allem zum Verteilen Wirkliche Diskussionen? Die finden für mich am ehesten auf Mastodon statt. #60Sekunden #Bloggen

New on #blog: "Money isn’t going to solve the #burnout problem"
"""
The xz-utils backdoor situation brought the problem of FLOSS maintained burnout into the daylight. This in turn lead to numerous discussion on how to solve the problem, and the recurring theme was funding maintenance work.
While I’m definitely not opposed to giving people money for their FLOSS work, if you think that throwing some bucks will actually solve the problem, and especially if you think that you can just throw them once and then forget, I have bad news for you: it won’t. Surely, money is a big part of the problem, but it’s not the only reason people are getting burned out. It’s a systemic problem, and it’s in need of systemic solution, and that’s involves a lot of hard work undo everything that’s happened in the last, say, 20 years.
But let’s start at the beginning and ask the important question: why do people make free software?
