#RunnersOfMastodon, now is the time to support the *many* runners who are close to reaching their goals for 2026 and can use some last-minute encouragment.
A few examples:
- @pfernandes, who is two HMs away from #52weeks52halfmarathons
- @steveroyle, who just needs 117k more
- @sebastianhahn, who aims at a crazy 10,000k and has a good shot at actually succeeding
There are many more of you out there. (Who did I miss?) #Running, you are all winning!
See you on the next starting lines.

I made a joke a while back about buying enough shares of Meta to cover WhatsApp, and donating them to the Signal foundation.
But seeing this buyTwitter thing makes it seem more serious.
Would it be possible to raise enough money to do that?

...and another one, and another one.
Please could we have a distro that, at least, simplifies the task of porting or reinstalling dozens of applications every time you distro-hop?
A couple of my troubles:
Even plain Ubuntu let me down with the appimage of the free version of the bibliographic system Mendeley (vital for some of us). Mint doesn't like Snap, and I won't even mention Flatpak.
Ubuntu offers full LaTeX, but it isn't full, missing some Tikz bits. You have to go to tug.org, which installs then tells you you have to set your own paths. Look up how to do that & find 100s of geek discussions on which obscure config files not to modify.

Are there any Linux desktops similar to Win3.1? Tried that for the first time today and am pleasantly shocked by how much I like it, would unironically love a desktop that functions similarly.
edit: just to preempt the 'old-timer' comments, I'm not even 25, so get _on_ my lawn 😂
Yeah ngl that's been confusing me this whole time because I kept trying to find the original notepad with the todo lists and going "wait where is it" 😂

Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life
This is interesting to me. I grew up and and live in the US. Honey is most often acquired at a supermarket in a plastic container shaped like a bear.
You _squeeze_ the container to dispense the honey.
No spoons, no wands. Just honey.
So... The wand seems _amazingly_ superfluous to me. I literally don't understand the appeal.
This might sound snotty or obtuse, I don't mean it to, I understand the appeal of fresh honey (it's my preference) but I still can't quite grok the utensils... What's the advantage of the wand over say... A spoon or just pouring from the jar and wiping the lip of the jar when finished?
I feel like I'm genuinely _missing_ something.
Sure, I understand the concepts of traditional tools/utensils etc. I don't especially adapt to them. It's more the utility that I was curious about.
Thanks for the reply!

“Heim 6-timers” survived and 58.25 km accumulated. 66 % type 1 fun, 33 % type 2 fun. ;) Hour five felt hardest, but there was something left in the legs to put down fast five minutes before the end. Pretty happy with how the race went: 27 + 27 + 27 + 25 + 23 + 25 rounds looks nicely distributed effort over such a long time.
Now I got some indication why marathoners feel weird after km 30. ;)
Passed the full marathon distance after 4h 14m 40s 💥.

That is a terrific goal!
One of my own 2026 goals is a sub-4:07 marathon, so you're way ahead of me already. You can do it!

It's a bit of a stretch for me, my current Marathon PR is 3:30 so I need to shave a staggering 30 minutes off.
