  @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt government bodies could host their own Mastodon instances. Then they'd have complete control over content. Not have to worry about an algorithm black-hole'ing their messages. And not be associated with a platform that is politically tainted.

  First kitty camping trip of the year. They're indoor boys and have no interest in escaping the safety of the enclosure. But they love a bit of grass, bathing in the sun and some very short expeditions on the harness. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #CampingKitties

  @alternativeto I was ok with websites serving me adverts to generate revenue. Which is how ads used to work. But it's a level beyond that now, and far more nefarious. Websites now use trackers dressed as adverts, so third parties can collate the info, invade my privacy and flog that data in a way that could be used against me. They broke the social agreement, so I'm not accepting their ads or their cookies, and I'm blocking their trackers whenever I can.

  @stfn @geerlingguy those old chips don't sip power like an N100. You'll burn through £50 more of electricity a year just on idle. And there's not as much of a performance gap as you'd expect either. If you need more punch, the Ryzens have capable GPUs for only slightly more juice.

  @kkarhan @sunpig yeah, the resolution isn't great. But it's ok. The Flir also cheats by overlaying an image from a visible light camera. Which is why it looks like it's captured so much texture. I've got the option to do that with my cheapo thermal camera, by blending with the phone camera's output, but as it has different optics on a big axis offset, the effect only works on more distant objects.
