Reminder: Debian 9 "Stretch" (released 2017-06-17) LTS support ends today.
Please upgrade to at least "oldstable" Buster. ;)
@cat What device/software lets you take photos like that?

We used to know how to find stuff on the internet without search (back when search sucked). Then, Google came and made search good. The finding-it-for-ourselves muscles atrophied. Now, Google sucks, selling our results to the highest bidder and giving the rest to SEOs. It's time to learn to find the good stuff ourselves again.
Some impressive spray paint art at #SWG3 #Yardworks #Glasgow today - plus next weekend (25th and 26th) they are hosting an art car boot sale that I'm gonna check out.

If you are pondering on whether to host your own mailserver: please do! I have been running a couple - hosting others as well, and it has been a bliss. Google has the biggest share of MXes - lets break that monopoly and reclaim our inbox 
Also, feel free to contact me if you wish for help and/or guidance 
@derwinmcgeary Yeah, looks like a mini one on the 18th before their bigger one in August. More direct link: https://www.bigglasgowcomicpage.com/st-enoch-comic-con/
It's Comic Con in St. Enoch Centre #Glasgow this weekend. I just got this in an email, sounds interesting:
"We've spared no expense and with the help of St Enoch, we have managed to bring the 1989 Batmobile to the centre which will be placed right outside Boots on the ground Floor." 🤓
We'll be there with some of the #geeksocial contigent from noon

Hey guys how is it going out there

glasgow, live music, ska/punk
Hey Glasgow, where should I go to listen to good, local punk/ska music? Or any good local music venues, actually. Preferably west end, as that's nearer to where I live, but anywhere works too
@insurgent1 Good! Welcome to the fediverse!

If you haven't done it already, it's a really good idea to put something on your profile, at least in the bio text part 
Even a sentence or two is better than blankness, it shows you are a human being!
Many people on here will only accept follows from people with text in their profile, as it is considered a common courtesy.
This applies to all Fediverse platforms. If you're on Mastodon, you can do this through the "Edit profile" or "Edit info" links.
