beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Daft little thing off my mind now.

A short bit of writing on how to use computers, rather than be used by them.

@djm62 the last point is so important. I have a deep memory of getting my second ever computer in Highschool (my used Pentium3 had just died and my parents bought me a new one), and I got it set up and I was excited and my sister dismissively said "it's not new, all the windows look the same as your old one". I had this moment of "that's what I spent the last hour getting into place though!"

@silverwizard poorly-configured tools are like ill-fitting clothes. You look silly and it's not comfortable (but everyone's version of looking good and feeling comfortable is different)

@djm62 exactly! I am also a tiling window manager person! But I suspect our two configs are different! Because we both *want them to be* and that's cool!
