A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Well just point me towards a FOSS laptop then. Or a FOSS TV? Why not a FOSS toothbrush?

Tech is not just software 🙄.

FOSS is just software.. it's literally what's that acronym means.

Edit: imagine downvoting the truth because it slapped you in the face. Hope you all get a fucking welt from that reality check.

Yeah you gotta have FOSH

Because the last S in FOSS stands for software?

Who sharted in your coffee this morning?

Beeing excited about parts of tech does not warrant you to be a grumpy old man.

Also RISC-V exists and there are laptops, there you go

They are not amazing in performance but it is pretty amazing that they exist at all.

Any laptop can be a FOSS laptop.

FOSS just stands for "free and open source software". While repairability fits in with the ethos, it's a separate issue.

firmware is software, which often powers hardware 🙄
