@DonChacale Thanks, Don. How are you finding it so far? I think I've just about got the hang of, like, GitHub, and the thing where you can make the terminal do a bonsai tree - so, the important stuff...
@MelodicDinosaur
using mint which is really GUI ...my main thrust is to move away from corporate surveillance state tech. subverted chromebooks to linux mint. -
@Hedgewizard @independentpen The *lichens*? What did they dooo?
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen
Attention whores, one and all. Check their thallus type before engaging, that's all I'm saying -
@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.

That's Tiki. He's my over-familiar. This one is Ishi - if you hold him just right you can hear the wind whistling through the empty space between his ears -
Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)

Welcome. I see you have many responses of goodwill.
I didn’t see a mention of @FediTips — you might wish to check them out.

@MelodicDinosaur Ooh my son (in London) is looking to get into Linux, what are your top-3 ways to learn.
Ex-pat Brit' living in the high plains desert in the foothills of the rocky mountains.can we have our snow back whoever has it?

@OneInterestingFact Hello! LOL, I sort of really didn't know what to put, but it's been a nice surprise how friendly everyone has been!
I don't have any experience of other social media so no expectations but yes, generally friendly is exactly how I've found it too.
Although I came for art and relaxation I've found myself drifting into politics more than I intended, or maybe politics is intruding, but I am advised that running two accounts can be a way to get back if you head too far off course... -

Rupert Lane reconstructed the code of Joseph Weizenbaum's Online Programming Language (OPL).
Based on a printout of source code found among Weizenbaum's papers archived by MIT Libraries, I have reconstructed the language so it can live again for the first time in nearly sixty years on a IBM 7094 emulator running CTSS.

@rysiek Gotta give the British more credit, here. It wasn't merely “over oil”, it was specifically over British Petroleum's completely unfair monopoly in the region… hard to think of a clearer example of The Brits Are At It Again

Also a reminder that while the Iranian regime is undeniably horrible, it is also the result of CIA and MI6 instigating (in 1953) a coup d'état against the government of Iran that had a democratic mandate, over oil:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tatHere's the Wikipedia page about the prime minister of that government, Mohammad Mosaddegh:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_MosaddeghThe coup made shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi an authoritarian monarch with US backing. His oppressive regime ended with the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
