UPDATE - after some contact with their support team, microclimate air3 now ships to Canada, for those #zeroesca folks who may be interested

#microclimateAir3
#covid19

Moved instances, so this a reintroduction. :)

Formerly @N01100010@mstdn.ca but already feel more at home here at #ZeroesCA

Been hanging around the Fediverse (first, here on Mastodon, now beyond) since '22 (you know... when that thing happened.)

I'm a #privacy focused IT professional, husband, dad, F1 (#LH44) and cricket (Team India, IPL - #PBKS) fan.

Re #Introduction #Fedi22

My instance just did an upgrade and yowza, the interface is fantastic. Bravo, #ZeroesCA

Hello world, again.

(Moved to #ZeroesCA from #medibubble, which seems to no longer receive security support.)

For anyone who wants to help test, I'd like to trial using Matrix for a voice chat at some point this weekend. If you've got an account on #ZeroesCA, you can get on https://talk.zeroes.ca without much friction. For folks elsewhere, all you need is a Matrix account on a federated server.

Great piece just out about clean air in schools with no paywall!

Clean air in schools should NOT be controversial

It is affordable, easily achievable and benefits kids in many ways

And again, this should NOT be controversial

Please share far and wide!

A reminder that in: nine days a mass exodus from the defunct birdapp will arrive
Thanks to all the metas/admins who are preparing the event!
If I can be of any help!

Anyone else on zeroes.ca using Fedilab and can test something for me?

Tip: If you’re using #ZeroesCa on iPhone or iPad, it seems that the (currently unmaintained) free, open source client MetaText is the way to go. Way more slick and fast than other clients I’ve tried, and it allows the full 5,000 characters @zeroes affords us. If you think another client is as good or better, I’m curious of course.

@Mastodon I want to post 5000 characters in the iOS app, but it’s limited to 500 characters and I have to go to the web interface (or another app) to be able to post longer. How do I make this work for my account on #ZeroesCa? I have tried removing and reinstalling the app, signing in again etc. I can’t find a setting for it. cc: @zeroes

I was fascinated when I first read Asimov's Foundation. I thought "Wow, what if science could predict our future?".
Nonetheless, we can all do that now, thanks to the architects of the #Fediverse #Mastodon or the instance I'm in #ZeroesCA
The hard part is extracting what will be/is useful now.
Just follow as many people as you can, here's one in the link below, there are so many more. What they have in common is imo #solidarity, it's as important as #LowTechnology. Following is the way to build your personalised algorithm.
There are other people who help, not only by writing but also by sharing other people's thoughts and I hope probably in the near future organising these thoughts. Even a little "Favourite" is an encouragement for a thinker or butterfly/bee/colibri to keep going.
We feed a personalised algorithm and at the same time a #CommonGood, useful and practical knowledge for all those who have access to it.

Hello, hello, hello, and… hello! New account here on #ZeroesCA, so it's time for an #introduction!

We're Victoria (aka "The Croissants"), a transfeminine plural system in ️. Besides retro gaming, TV, and being gay, our interests also include avoiding the plague, and sometimes writing either prose or code.

We prefix most of our posts with an emoji (️️️️) to note which member of our system wrote them. Don't know what a "plural system" is? Don't be afraid to ask.

Looking forward to being on an instance that will welcome posts about the plague!

If you're on #ZeroesCA and would like to provide feedback on the recommendation regarding federation with threads.net, please do so here: https://zeroes.ca/@zeroes/110686134819371953

If you haven't already, you'll need to follow @zeroes (#ZeroesCA-only, sorry!)

UI tweak #2: increased character limit

In addition to all sorts of backend admin improvements, having migrated to our own infrastructure allows us to add a bunch of tweaks to the main UI. The first of these is a new 'site theme' in three palettes: Elephant, Elephant High Contrast, and Elephant Light

For folks new to Mastodon, it may ease the transition

Thanks @rolle for coming up with a sleek design and writing the CSS and @stux for shoehorning it into the menus
