The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

Modi sucks.

Elon: “Amateurs”

That’s pretty funny since manually searching some keywords can usually provide helpful data. Should be pretty straight-forward to automate even without LLM.

I mean, it wouldn’t stop them from continuing to post to Xitter. They can do both!

I’ve driven through almost every state, and Vermont was easily in the top-3. But I did go in August.
