I've gone as far as I can with ignoring nodeinfo. I hit a piece of software tonight that won't federate unless it gets to check your nodeinfo and compare your self-reported software title against its blocklist. Nevermind that `User-Agent:` and `Server:` exist, if you're eager for some self-reported software titles!

Trees are starting to leaf out and flower one by one in my area, and I'm using the opportunity to try to learn them a little bit better. Turns out we have some pretty linden/American basswood/Tilleul americana relatively close by! I had enjoyed purchased linden leaves and flowers as tea before, but got a chance to try brewing fresh leaves. They are pretty nice. Maybe I can harvest some blooms in June this year. #nature #foraging #zone6b #zone7a #nativeplants

@evan Ah, ok. I don't even know what "In the Dust of This World" is 😅 haha — sorry, but I'll look it up. I know this from the manga. I quite enjoyed reading some of the Junji Ito stories :D

Glad you liked the reference. 👍

@nemo I only learned about this from "In the Dust of this Planet". Cool reference!

This will be right at the beginning of the summer break here in Berlin. I wonder how many people will take their kids...

@evan Thank you for the reminder. I am one of those who still needs it. It really is a paradigm shift and I easily fall into the ways of thinking about this that actually belong more in social media like Meta's platforms where I and everyone else have little to no control over our feeds, so the rules are different.

I really really really really really wish that Canadian band Great Big Sea had have released an album entitled You Next Tuesday.
