The Tangara is interesting technically, but the firmware is a bit half-baked, and large parts of it are written in Lua, and thus slow. I had one but sold it, and got a Rockboxed HifiWalker H2.

Star Trek fandom. The series appears to be the moral compass of Mastodon.


Mastodon is for kind middle-aged trekkies to hold forth about how to live a good life (it involves Linux, and stopping to look at the flowers)
Lemmy is for goblin-moders to vent about their mental health issues using memes

Cory Doctorow once gave the hypothetical example of a phone company doing a deal with Domino’s so that every time you called a rival pizzeria, you got “press 1 to be connected to Domino’s or wait 30 seconds to be put through to the number you dialled”
Glass jars pick up fingerprints easily, and can be easily traced. Water balloons would be safer.


Surely that’s when humanity has forgotten how to be selfish and the state withers away, leaving a utopia of fully actualised workers for whom work and play are indistinguishable, both being ways of joyously participating in society.
Ariana was a brand name used by a Chinese manufacturer of cheap luggage of the sort you’d find in neighbourhoods with working-class immigrant populations. I once had a backpack of theirs which was the maximum airline carry-on size, which is to say, muy grande.
Isn’t that Donald Trump’s phone background?


I can vouch for Mythic Beasts
In Ottoman Turkey, burglars would set a tortoise with a lighted candle on its back loose in a house they were planning to rob, to check if there was anyone home.
If you’re willing to sacrifice cows and chickens to keep your cat fed, a few thousand humans is a quantitative change.
