Every time I get asked to help someone “fix their slow computer” I’m amazed at the variety of shit people install and forget about.

I like & get value from Goodreads, and have many connections there that I value. I'm also a fan of the #SocialWeb / #fediverse and believe in open protocols and data portability. I've optimistically setup a #BookWyrm account here: https://sfba.club/user/dcreemer . Reading is visible to followers only for now.
Is there any general advice on cross-posting from (e.g.) #PixelFed or #BookWyrm to #mastodon ? I know that if folks are interested specifically in my photos they could follow my pixelfed account, but I do see a lot of pictures posted here (and I like to see pictures here). #fediverse#question

I continue to be amazed and impressed by the machine that is science. The work these teams are doing is crazy good - three different types of gene editing and vectors to treat progressive #blindness , based on decades of painstaking, bit-by-bit understanding of cellular and retina biology.
