Fediverse Getting Started – May 2023
I decided to re-write and republish this, so the post can focus on the wider picture of what the Fediverse is.
This has been undertaken following comments / conversations on #Mastodon about people not actually referring to the #Fediverse directly, of which #Mastodon is one of many services. A different video is presented below, along with an infographic and #Hastags to the services listed This list has also been added to the #index page.

Getting started is easy, if you need help please get in touch. I can be contacted on the fediverse via @zleap@qoto.org

Windows 10 support end date is October 25th, 2025
Windows 10 support ends next year, if your hardware is fine, but you don't want to or can't upgrade to Windows 11 or beyond. Maybe have a look at Linux mint [1] as a replacement.
You need to look at what you are using your computer for, Linux based systems are NOT for everyone, esp if you are a gamer, but there are a lot of tasks you can do just as well on a Linux system as you can on Windows. Office apps are covered in the form of LibreOffice, for example [2].
