@sean @realcaseyrollins I hope to awaken enough intereset in my children to actually create instead of consume using computers and devices. We are sometimes playing games, but I carefully choose which one. And on mobile devices they only play really simple open source games.

@sean @realcaseyrollins The casual game industry is just plain bad. Everything is designed to make you addicted and make in-app-purchases.

I have a feeling that you are right -- although in the Preferences panel there's this :

qoto.org/settings/export

...and the text is "The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software."

I don't think the head developer of mastodon wants the functionality of people's data coming along with them, and importable as needed.

Would be nice to know for sure, if there's some viewer at least we could use to access this.

as i grew older and found out just how many people did drugs the more those anti drug lessons in school seemed like a waste of tax money

Bruh we should either legalize the Dreamers, or kick them out. (I prefer legalization)

Let's follow the rule of law, it's illegal to be here illegally. But they're here to stay, let's legalize them so they can drive and vote and stuff

@realcaseyrollins it's kind of just a perfect storm.

✅ Full-time Job Mom
✅ Pandemic
✅ No friends in area
✅ Can't really go anywhere

Devices are pretty much the only thing there is to do here, so I'm not unsympathetic. It's just hard to watch them fight over a device that's only capable of serving up shitty games designed to get people addicted.
@Elfie @realcaseyrollins thankfully, it's just a crummy Kindle Fire tablet that's locked down.

But in hindsight, I grew up with a hand-me-down PC with no connection outside of the LAN, and the experience of playing games with my family or by myself was superb. It served as my gateway into Linux and game development.

Potentially NSFW 

Sure! It's a serviceable #MSNBC replacement for a public #Instagram account?
