hi friends, my trans Jewish boyfriend was just starting to get back on his feet after a really rough patch and then just when he was finally getting job interviews, they all got cancelled due to public health protocols. he needs help making rent at the end of the month ($900), and anything you have to spare would really really help: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/quinnebrown #TransCrowdFund #PleasBoost
today I discovered that because Microsoft thought the Zune “Z” device would become as iconic and obvious as Apple’s Apple, they left both their name *and the product name* off the Zune product line, so now there’s a small but consistent group of them listed on eBay as “Hello From Seattle” MP3 players
Many of you already do it but we want to ask and urge everyone on chaos.social and of course on other instances to add a CW (corona or covid19) to *all* toots in a relation with the corona virus pandemic. Additionally adding the #covid19 hashtag is also a good idea to filter the toots.
The topic is important but there are a lot of people that are for example in a risk group and really don't want to hear every bad joke or every new headline. Help them and be a nice citizen of this instance.
taking a hiatus from fedi for the next few weeks
a: to deal with the combo of unemployment & no insurance finally catching up to us today
b: to start early on a graduation project that will determine if we get the job we're shooting for

monsterpit's hosting (currently $60/mo) is paid up for another month thanks to ko-fi donations
meanwhile we originally planned to rebuild monsterfork on glitch-soc 3.1 but are now just gonna scrap that to work on a c#-based replacement in whatever time we have left as we literally can't afford to keep using the slow & beefy masto codebase
if we get rid of it we can downgrade to a $15 or $20/mo server & still host the other fedi services like hubzilla which all together use only about 1/8 of what the masto-based platform does by itself to run smoothly
