UB40ās debut album ā Signing Off ā was the 1st I bought with my own money (Xmas 1980). Just listened again ā as fresh and radical as ever. They never reached those heights of perfection again šµ
Today seems to be a techie woes day. My Lightoom > Koken Publish Collection plugin has stopped working properly, about to give up on it!
Goodness me, I am miffed with Microsoft. The recent Windows 10 update reset all my privacy settings, customisations and firewall rules ā without any notice of intent to do so. And it reinstalled all the crapware tile apps Iād studiously removed previously. I am seriously irked!
Ordered some handwarmers from Amazon, based on which I have been offered the autobiography of #GordonBrown No thanks, but what on earth have handwarmers got to do with him?! https://social.coop/media/8R99HtvdvphSZDXI8WA

"The #bitcoin #cryptocurrency was supposed to replace the #finance industry. Instead, it has replicated it.
Nakamoto wanted to create a system for #payments that would circumvent governments, bankers, and corporations. Instead, Bitcoin is now a get-rich-quick scheme that retains none of the exciting, anarchist features it proposed and has created a secondary #economy with financial shenanigans that mirror the ones that led to the global financial crisis."

I loved the #HauntedHouse board game as a boy - great fun when the ball went down the chimney and rolled down the stairs :) #1970s https://cobwebbedroom.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/denys-fisher-haunted-house-board-game.html: https://raretrack.uk/2017/i-loved-the-hauntedhouse-board-game-as-a-boy
Either a lot of people have blocked me(!) or Mastodon is dying. Where *is* everyone?
Hey #mastodon folks, what if anything can I do with all this empty screen real estate in my left-hand column? https://social.coop/media/c-J4s3FQMyvlYgsszLc
The new push notifications in mobile web for Mastodon 2.0 are reallllllly good, indistinguishable from a native app now. I just pinned my mastodon server to my home screen and I no longer have any need for a dedicated app.
Hi, I'm Neil. #introduction
I'm from #London and interested in #tech, #politics, #opensource, and a #decentralized #indieweb.
I'm interested in #coops in general, as a better, fairer, and more sustainable way of doing business, and #techcoops in particular, as a better way of building and using technology.
Looking forward to learning from like-minded others and helping to grow this space. #SocialCoop
Your < 10min update on the #IndieWeb community!

Hi, I'm just joined social.coop (having been over on mastodon.social for a few months), and intend this to be my main Mastodon instance. I'm keen on the #indieweb movement and co-operative principles (my first job leaving school was working for a co-op!). When I saw that like-minded people were already over here I decided to take the plunge myself, so here I am :) #introduction: https://raretrack.uk/2017/hi-im-just-joined-socialcoop-having-been-over-on-mastodonsocial
