@derek Hey, DT! Have you seen Bedrock Linux (https://bedrocklinux.org)? What do you think about the idea of meta distribution?
@shlee It looks like you are in luck! You can get 3 new ones from only $230! 😜
You know, the auto-playing videos feature... I just found out when it is actually useful - NEVER! NOT EVER!
@bestthingsbot I went to an actual meetup today! Face to face! First in a long time. Met some people that I haven't seen for over a year.

Announcement 
I've launched a sister site called https://aus.party
Aus.party is a "Mobilizon" instance - Offers an alternative to Facebook Groups and Facebook Events!
So if you want to run public events or public groups (or migrate away from Facebook). Please consider giving it a look.
This is a "newish" service and will improve over time.
P.S. This instance is connected with https://deffo.com.au so events will be shared (run by our friends at chinwag)

The Arch experience:
1. Update entire system
2. Reboot with new kernel
3. New updates available!
...and I actually love it for that 🤗
Wow! What an influx of new members! It is fantastic! Looks like FB shot itself in the leg, no both legs, no the head!

Hello to all of our (30+) new Neighbours to aus.social.
I'll keep an eye on the server, but if we experience any problems.. I'll upgrade the server to support the extra people tonight.. *Waves* 
@reneeotmar That'd be awesome! I'm doing my part too. But some people are set in their ways 😞
@reneeotmar Welcome! You'll love it here. Facebook is not "in" anymore 😃

Talking about Go 1.16, this is a release to be excited about. Here are some of my personal highlights:
- fs.FS interface. This should make a bunch of filesystem operations agnostic to the underlying storage service.
- Clean up of 'go get' vs 'go install'
- Embedding files into binaries
- Smaller binaries
- Faster linking
- darwin/arm64 support
Find more exciting changes here: https://golang.org/doc/go1.16

It's been 11 hours since the release of Go 1.16 and Arch still doesn't have it packaged 🤣
Starting to question my distro choices...

#Mailspring is probably the best thing that happened in the world of email clients! Loving it! Sorry, #Thunderbird, good old friend.
Just occurred to me. When somebody asks me: "Why can't you do it yourself?" My answer should be: "I'm not limited in my ability, I'm limited in my capacity."
I am probably a bit #overworked
