I hope all is going well for you so far today. I am another person going through life trying to figure out my own place in it. I originally joined gemini to dip my toes into the smolnet, and have been happily participating for the better part of the year. Thank you for having me. 馃棧 Followers 35 路 Following 26 路 Logs 116 路 Docked 2 years ago =>gemini://tilde.team/~smokey/ gemini://tilde.team/~smokey/ ### Actions =>/join 馃憢 Join Station ### Logs =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey got a new 512gb sd card to double my storage on laptop. The sd card adapter has a liittle switch labled 'lock'. "Oh, this is for locking the micro sd card into place! Nice!" I thought to myself. I then tried and failed to put a file on it. Read only. Spend the next 10 minutes looking on linux mint fourms for a solution, until someone pointed out: just want to make sure nobody is overlooking the obvious: that perhaps the write protect switch on the card got flipped. I've done that a couple times when shuffling cards around too quickly... "WTF is a write protection swi-.... ohhhhhh...." As it turns out 'Lock' means 'Data Protection 'Lock'. =>/smokey/a81ab6275aae45e99a3e03008420db41 馃挰 7 Replies 路 7 Thumbs 路 9 months ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey bringing my personal computer to work has been a real game changer, now when I have 40 mins to kill between schedule things instead of playing on the phone or staring into space I can boot up some computer games or do some writing/digital creation. This is actually the first time in a long time that I've been forced to use the laptop offline for long periods of time and frequently. I may have to revisit ploums offpunk now that its sync feature actually matters to me. =>/smokey/b8b7d741e88f43029c95e46349c6f74a 馃挰 3 Replies 路 5 Thumbs 路 10 months ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey Feel so stupid for singing the praises of chatgpt last week when just a few days later it was revealed a ton of hacked accounts were being sold on dark web markets.

A couple of users I personally disliked have come and gone already, and im sure more will follow. Some people want an echo chamber, some want never ending arguments to *win*, They last a few months, say their piece, realize they aren't getting the reaction/interaction they crave, and move on to the next community. The people who actually have something interesting to say in a respectful way, who want to have a dialog without it turning into a opinion battle, who want to be friendly and cooperative, stick around. =>/smokey/d3d35c0228f84a6e94f95491a3fecef8 馃挰 5 Replies 路 11 Thumbs 路 1 year ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey How new are you to geminispace? =>/smokey/d9011987de404c7dac7d396edfa97b6a 馃檵 18 Responses 路 1 year ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey Post your mastadon handle here: =>/smokey/7e0eb174ad1047c0a63f89d3d8501e02 馃挰 14 Replies 路 3 Thumbs 路 2 years ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey Apparently elon buying birdland is a 'potential national security issue', LMAO =>/smokey/f32665b4f78b40c48d340d535a62f511 馃挰 2 Replies 路 0 Thumbs 路 2 years ago =>/smokey 馃懡 smokey TIL ANSI colors in gemini are a thing for some browsers.

Quite a great deal. https://www.patreon.com/CallumStephenDiggle The other is Rust & Humus, a worldbuilding project/book that has some of the most beautiful and moving imagery I have ever seen.
