I know, I know, that some members, of the Mobian IRC channel, at OFTC, can't
take a joke, or jokes, mostly, because they're such important big shot
volunteers, helping us, mere mortals, to get our Pine Phones up to snuff.
However, now I remember why I considered them to be snobs, in the first place.
It's because I've noticed that a majority of them have a [m], just like that,
brackets included, next to their nicks. When I pondered why this was so, I
realized, that they're not really using the IRC at all, they're using Matrix,
a little too high born for IRC, you know. There are bridges or bots that will
link IRC to other types of chat environments, causing seamless communication
across protocols, so to speak. I just hope I wont be flamed too much for
pointing this out and having fun but flamed I will be. I realize what a serious
risk I'm taking in this cancel culture era, for it may well be that I could
get banned from their IRC channel, hint, hint. Speaking about Pine Phones, you
who own them, you can do your own experiments, you know. There's hardly any
opportunity to brick the device. Especially, when you use SD cards to host the
OS. It's important to use your pine phone, in all sorts of ways and learn how
to use it. I'll be posting this to my Gemini capsule, located at
gemini://mstdn.design a few minutes hence, since, I and my readers, still know
how to laugh at ourselves and take jokes. As always, be well and keep in touch.
