How to Join Pixelfed
Pixelfed is an image-first way of accessing the fediverse. You can read more about what that is and why you might care here.
We’re going to cover up how to sign up a phone, but the interface via a laptop or other computer is virtually identical, so everyone can follow along.
pix.lgbt is a Pixelfed server run by a Jewish trans woman. Like other parts of the fediverse, many sites are run by volunteer teams and supported by donations.
To sign up, go to the https://pix.lgbt/ webpage and click the big signup button on the top right.
Click to signup. It’s first going to ask you to agree to some reasonable rules.
When you click to accept this at the bottom of the page, it will ask for your location.
It then asks for a date of birth. Presumably this is because they want to keep out children.
It goes to today’s date on a calendar widget, but if you click on the year, you won’t have to scroll back for 218+ months.

You need to decide on a username, enter your email address, pick a password . . .
They also want to know why you want an account. If you have an Insta account, tell them about it. The purpose of this steps seems to be not only to prevent spam, but to prevent people who post problematic content from getting in.
I said I was joining to check out the platform and linked to an account I have elsewhere and that was fine.
Then I waited for a few hours until somebody got a chance to look at it. I got a link via email that I was approved and I was in.
It suggested a few people to follow. Of course, you can follow @jaq via this platform, just as you can any Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, etc account from accross the fediverse.
I then posted my first post!
The site works well with a web browser, but there are also a few apps. Picking at random, I tried Pixelix, which seems fine and has been very recently updated.
The user interface of this app is very familiar. Open and scroll up, past the images and videos.
Remember that once you have an account to tell your friends.my Mastodon account and that was fine.

@ellie this is incredible 
The never-ending saga of our not-working smart meter continues. It’s not been working since August last year.
Got this email from the guy charged with trying to sort it out for us.
Text is in the Alt. Not asking for much, are they. 🤔

Hello my friends, I am so happy to be here, I have discovered a new space where I feel much more comfortable and free ❤️
I have a question as a beginner... WhatsApp > #Signal... Twitter > #Mastodon... YouTube > #PeerTube.... Instagram > #Pixelfed...
But what would you suggest as an open source #alternative to Facebook?
a wintery tree!
i'm slowly working towards 4 seasonal tree lego prints - autumn exists, and a basic summer-ish tree, but that one will probably get revised to fit in better with the rest.
Not all heroes wear capes!:)
Thanks to the #freecad devs who's tireless and enduring work on a #foss alternative to proprietary #cad solutions allowed me to fix a dryer rack:)
Not the most exciting "build" but it kept 99% of this item out of landfill and gave me some fun/education while I was at it.
Just a reminder that even little things can make a difference, you may not realize it at the time, but just keep on keepin' on, we've got this;)
apparently i never got around to posting the autumn tree - it's pretty great! this was my first attempt at printing a gradient and i'd say i nailed it
We are back online but will continue to be slow while our service continues the database migration and we catch up on the jobs we missed during the downtime.
Apologies for the longer than expected outage.

The #Amiga 500 in its natural environment: on the desk with its top off and me tinkering to my hearts content. Installing and configuring the #PiStorm and #RaspberryPi it powers. #Commodore #Retro #16bit #Computing #Workbench #AmigaOS #80stechnology #Gotek
Hmm, not cool.
I gave a phone number when ordering something (required field) and the store has given it to DHL (their choice of delivery company, as I had picked the cheap Royal Mail option)
DHL have just WhatsApp'd me. I did not give permission to share that information with Meta.
(Yes, I know I should delete WhatApp, but the inertia of too many family members round the world)
I’m certified.
One more indicator that politicians suck at governing, and communicating, once they get to. Carbon "tax" is not a thing.
The VAST majority of you out there are in my "demographic". Working, family care, probably use a car but don't NEEEEEED it as much as you think.
My math, with some over-estimates:
Avg fill: 39 litres
Fed tax per litre: $0.09 (look it up)
Fill up 2x/month.
39x24: 936 litres of gas last year
Fuel "tax": $84.24
My Carbon Rebate: ****$980****
I really want to get a data dive on this but have to find the sources. But here are some more inputs into the equation:
$0.09 is ALL the federal tax on retail, unleaded fuel. We've had that forever, it's not "Trudeau's" "Carbon" tax.
Before 2022, the rate was $0.147/litre. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REDUCED IT as of July 2022. Yes, it will go back up - as consumption goes down and efficiency improves.
The rate is lower and/or rebated for Northern residents, propane, farms and trucking.
@xexer Had a very bad experience with the creator of the terrible fire , he should work on his people skills, so I rather burn my money than buy his solutions. But that is the beauty of this golden age of #Retrocomputing: There are so many options available to us, some quite cheap.
This whole program is a FUEL USER REBATE for the vast majority of working Canadians who make use of a family car for their household.
My not quite $85 in fuel tax is offset by a rebate that pays for about 2/3 of my TOTAL fuel costs for an entire year.
The only stupid thing the "Trudeau" "Liberal" government did in this is not being aggressive enough about promoting the message as a fuel rebate every chance they could.

@gruber @agiletortoise Speaking of niche apps (for the Mac!), I just came across this. I love that there are still indie devs out there making cool stuff. https://spectrolite.app
White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

"Critics of zuckermuskian media claim those services are so terrible because they're for-profit entities, capitalist enterprises hitched to the logic of extraction and profit above all else. The problem with this claim is that it doesn't explain the changes to these services." @pluralistic
I'm sure their all consuming profit motive over every other human value doesn't help.

An Oklahoma lawmaker has filed a bill that could amend the state constitution, allowing funds to get redirected to churches.
One critic said the goal is to "force taxpayers to subsidize their religion."
