(Besser jetzt ein paar Unterschriftenlisten herumreichen als sich hinterher zu ärgern, dass es nicht geklappt hat ... es geht um die Chance auf einen Volksentscheid über eine Reduktion von #Außenwerbung, die in den letzten Jahren besonders mit digitalen Anlagen rasant zugenommen hat.)
Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.
I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.
I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.
I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.
I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.
Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.
I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.
I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.
Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.
Ohne Internet: Gut vier Prozent der Deutschen leben offline
Shopping, Überweisungen, Filme anschauen - vieles läuft heute online. Doch gut vier Prozent der 16- bis 74-Jährigen haben das Internet noch nie genutzt. Die Zahl der Nichtnutzer geht aber zurück.

I like Eloquent, I use it, especially when I'm offline -- Yes, it works completely #offline !
But, I would like the startup text to disappear. Every time when I open the app, it displays this text:
“Write or paste your text here too have it checked continuously. Errors will be underlined in different colours: we will mark seplling errors with red underilnes. Furthermore grammar error's are highlighted in yellow. LanguageTool also marks style issues in a reliable manner by underlining them in blue. Its a impressively versatile tool especially if youd like to tell a colleague from over sea's about what happened at 5 PM in the afternoon on Monday, 27 May 2007.”
What's amazing is that it even detects the wrong dates, like this: “Monday, 27 May 2007 is actually Sunday, 27 May 2007”.

Today I went on a ~23km #hike up and down the North East #coast between #Tynemouth and #Blyth, and then back to #WhitleyBay. I can't be more accurate about how far I went because I tried an experiment: leaving my #phone at home.
I liked it, and think I'll do more #disconnected trips, but I did get a bit bored around 15km in - so I'll need to find a #music / #podcast player to take on the next long walk.
Any #hardware suggestions would be most welcome! #musicplayer #audio #lowtech #offline
Eloquent proofreading assistant 1.1 is out with improved language detection and support for running LanguageTool server in the background
This allows 3rd parties such as LibreOffice and Firefox to connect to a local and offline instance of the LanguageTool server.
If you are a Unix nerd and wish you spend less time using your mouse while watching flashy colors, I recommend that you give Offpunk a try:
I’m trying to make it easier to get started with offpunk. Feedbacks and discussions are welcome on the mailing-list :
https://lists.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk-users
or on the fediverse, using the #offpunk hashtag. Or on your blog. That would be awesome to read blog posts about people using offpunk
Organic Maps is a great Google Maps alternative that's free, open-source, and offline. I used it yesterday to find my way in an unknown neighbourhood, and it worked like a charm.

I've been thinking... Have I gone from tech enthusiast to tech nihilist?
Forcing cloud, always online, subscription models have taken most of technology away from user and tied it to a company with umbilical cord.
Company can change pricing (Adobe), TOS (Unity), have server crash (Sony), or use your personal or professional data to push you out of market few years in the future.
I love offline, I love penguin and FOSS. It makes me love tech again.
