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 ๐ค
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 ๐
@reneeotmar Welcome! You'll love it here. Facebook is not "in" anymore ๐

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 ๐คฃ
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
