Any women speakers this year?

Have not logged onto my stable #ubuntu laptop for a while. Stable as in running latest release. This laptop holds a draft copy of my Ubuntu membership application, if I ever decide to do that. Anyway time to run some updates I guess. #linux

Ted helping to look for a neighbours missing cat. Not as bonkers as it sounds. Ted likes cats. Often has a sniff of the ones in the neighbourhood as he passes by, they are used to him too. #dog #foxredlab #DogsOfMastodon

Caught somebody throwing a laptop away in a skip. I suggested I install Linux on it and give it a life again. They were not interested. Here it is, added 8GB RAM to it and it works perfectly. Ok it isn’t the fastest laptop, but it’ll do the basics that most need. #ubuntu #linux

that’s so amazingly kind of you. I’d love to. I’m currently watching a documentary made by Small Town Monsters. On the Trail of UFOs. They did a similar documentary called On the Trail of Bigfoot. Oddly I stopped watching both on the subjects, but started watching them to see the gorgeous scenery. The Appalachian range looks stunning.

Just seen a post over on Bluesky asking if anyone is on #Mastodon in the replies someone said "Mastodon never really took off" If Mastodon never really took off I would not be paying money to host my own server. Mastodon for me is where I prefer to be. I also pointed out maybe try using hashtags when over here as they work brilliantly here.

Hello thank you for reaching out. The update notes don’t read that way to me. Can you explain exactly what “enhanced insight” means via an update. To me enhanced insight is fluffy words for how who when where. In the beta do you use our contacts data too? We don’t get to opt out of much as beta.

2024-12-22 19:59:55 UTC

What does @npub1nwk…dgjz mean by “enhanced insights to help us understand how you use the app” that seems a bit creepy and like it’s using more of our private data and tracking etc … #OpenVibe #TestFlight needs to show us what betas are accessing, just like the AppStore does.

2024-12-17 20:50:48 UTC

I’ve been approached to help a school in Manchester that has very limited resources to see if I can sort some computers out for them. I’m going to give them two of my own all in one desktops. Of course I’ll be installing #ubuntu #linux on them.

This is a good point. Even though I pay for my own domain so I can be verified on #BlueSky I still pay for my own server here for my #Mastodon instance. I’m not leaving Mastodon, but of course have profiles on other social networks. https://mas.to/@Techaltar/113546395975006620

it’s going to get much worse over there when he gets that role in trumps cabinet too. Agreed it’s definitely nicer over here, lots of support for all here. It’s why I decided to go all in a self host. I’ll always have here no matter. Threads and BlueSky are ok, time will tell, but I’ll alway be here :)

I’ve had 3 emails. Can’t reset the password via the app. Version 2 of the build had reset password in it, never worked. Latest version doesn’t give you the option. We’re supposed to be testing the TestFlight so you’d expect it all to be doable via the TestFlight releases @npub1xsv…q6he @npub1wa2…zalq @npub13xu…gtpu

nope I’m on the latest TestFlight version it doesn’t work. Can’t log in can’t request a password reset.
Keeps telling me a variation of user doesn’t exist and credentials don’t work.

I’ve had the second email. Still can’t log in, still can’t request password reset @npub1wa2…zalq @npub1xsv…q6he so I’m not absolutely sure what the roll out plan is. If there is one there isn’t any detail being shared to TestFlight testers.
