The solution to this is to start your own instance and federate the other instances that you want to make sure you can always reach. This is a solved problem, really.

Those people aren’t great at thinking things through. They’re “idea people”.

No it shouldn’t.

Well considering I’ve been using it for 25 years and it literally has had its own Wikipedia page since basically Wikipedia existed… no. It’s not a buzzword. It’s just a term used to describe an idea.

Why? This sounds like FUD.

I didn’t change my clocks back, I think that happens next week for me, but I’m over the shit. I’d love it if we could just decide to stop doing it.

Seriously though I’ve never been good at anything artistic. I’m a programmer by trade and occasional dabble in the odd personal project lately, and I have a lot of hobbies. I experiment with electronics, I’m an (really really) amateur blacksmith. I feel like those engage the parts of my brain art might, but I don’t feel like they’re any sort of self expression. They’re more academic pursuits, I do them to learn and learning itself is kinda the end goal.
