  • No, Apple Silicon-based Linux is why VMware Fusion exists. ๐Ÿ˜‰ You can currently virtualize ARM-based distros, but if this new release leverages Apple's implementation of ARM for M-series chips better, I'll probably create a new VM and migrate what I need from the old one.

  • Absolutely no surprise there. When you keep the barrier to entry low and throw in an algorithm to increase โ€œengagementโ€ via outrage, the soup turns to poison quickly.

    This is why every time someone says the Fediverse is โ€œtoo confusing,โ€ I just smile and nod. That attitude of petulant, lazy, self-imposed gatekeeping is whatโ€™s keeping the Fediverse a much nicer place to be.

  • I use masto.host for my instance. They even give you a web GUI for all the settings. Makes hosting so much easier!

  • This is why I use a paid host for Mastodon. Six bucks a month gets me my own instance with a custom domain and full admin rights.

    There are three of us on said instance, and only two of us are active. It's easier to build a consensus that way. Absolutely none of us want to federate with anything Meta/Facebook. I preemptively blocked threads.net yesterday. To quote Khan Noonien-Singh:

    "Let them eat static."
