throwback to that one time i made a very particular decision in minecraft while trying to remember how mods worked

The thing that #framework doesn't seem to get is that they are a premium brand, and every premium brand is an identity brand. Identity brands don't work because they're cheaper, or better. They don't generally follow market rules. The work because people want to be associated with the values […]

which is why I'm on here with the bridgy thing, a bunch of my friends use bsky, but it's more stress than I wanna deal with to be exposed to the general users of a website that needs $15M USD in funding to do shit like let Jessie Singal quote tweet random trans women and not let you tag your […]

I've seen people point out that since Musk bought Twitter it's lost massive amounts of money and the valuation is way down, he made a bunch of statements about reducing operating costs and new revenue with the subscription thing, but he didn't buy it to make money, he bought it to be the […]

Honestly with what happened with cohost's finances and the way that every long running small social media site I can think of is either attached to another project, funded by a dedicated & generous community, or whoever owns it is ok with it losing money, and that every big social media platform […]

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?” It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer. #portland #portlandfrog #uspol

Still warm from the kiln, covered in warm earth tones—I’m so relieved this piece came out successfully on the other side of firing. I worked on it over the course of a month and remembered to document moments of process which I think I’ll share in a thread […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

go, my eggbug #cohost

I think about this diagram from an Explosions & Fire vid a lot

I love when organisations use the phrase "deferred maintenance" to mean "not doing any maintenance"

i'm glad that no matter what the current state of the world is We get to witness the japanese gboard team's descent into insanity

hello internet. please enjoy this image of my cat. he is the video game now

whatever you do, do NOT get yourself 1-3 years of ESU upgrades for free on windows 10 by going to https://massgrave.dev/ and following the instructions to run the open source script to run an exploit in windows enabling the activation of ESUs. You have to upgrade to windows 11. There's no other […]

As a timely reminder, our DNI list includes 77 domains we strongly recommend for defederation. Some are known to be expired, but they remain on the list for safety's sake. Each domain is labelled and was investigated by human review. This is not an automated or consensus list. A Mastodon […]

ah, the two genders

If you have seen folks talking about "Omarchy" or maybe seen a screenshot that looked neat, please be aware that it is an operating system for nazis, by nazis. DHH made a linux distribution with Hyprland, which is a tiling Wayland compositor for bigots, by bigots. I am sorry if you'd seen some […]

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Mario 64 any% is my favorite type of speedrun. Bowser creates all these elaborate worlds only for Mario to come barreling in and clobber him multiple times within a few minutes. How does Mario do it? Jumping backwards and literally traveling to a parallel universe by going so fast that he breaks […]

Hey there! I'm one of the blind folks who read alt text on here. I'd like to say thank you for adding that so that I can also enjoy images of cartoon animals. A little effort from you means a world of difference for people like me #accessibility #alttext #blind

🌌 #art #furry

Speaking of image alt text, as a photographer who tries to put care into this, I would really love it if there were a single standard EXIF field in which alt text could be embedded and from which the text was reliably extracted when the image was uploaded. It would be much easier to write a […]

Thanks to my hardware store. New insult unlocked.

To the people coming from bluesky to wafrn: Import your account, dont lose anything* https://app.wafrn.net/profile/migrate-bluesky

to the few "I don't want bluesky people here they're toxic and bad" voices I see floating around: please don't get me wrong, but please realize how toxic and bad (and honestly kinda bigoted/prejudiced) saying something like that that makes you look .. I understand it's scary to see a community […]

Make it a habit to press Ctrl+S all the time when working on anything on your computer. Do it so often it becomes a reflex.

"We believe that these kinds of user-generated, curated collections could help people to find their tribe more quickly when they join the Fediverse. At the same time, envisioning a similar feature that prioritises user consent, and works across a constellation of independent servers, is no […]

a friend is coming from bsky to the fediverse (hi chris!) and he has a question: he runs oblivion loading screens. he currently manually schedules them to post. what would be the best way to do this? i don't _think_ mastodon has scheduled posts by default also, is there a specific _server_ […]

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow. This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

Migrate to wafrn from bluesky, do it!

Twitter, Mastodon and now Bluesky are a constant reminder that you can’t just add layers of abstractions to avoid dealing with the fact that someone is running the thing you use. Layers are only pushing the can down the road.

HEY #retrocomputing folks You know that retro ISP thing me and like, 20 others have been working on for LITERALLY A YEAR? Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net (CGHMN) is now IN OPEN BETA! Bring out your Windows, your Macs, your UNIX boxes and let's get them networked and running services and games […]

My friend @fjbh, who is not active on Mastodon, made a cool tool to find PBS sites that need funding the most called Keep Media Public (keepmediapublic.org) 1/2

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist. Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. **Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their […]

I am once again out of grocery money because my life is a disaster. I would appreciate some spending money but there are probably people who need it more - I'm facing the danger of debt, not death - so only if you're sure. https://ko-fi.com/millie55148

[Fedi meta] I've seen literally ∞× more people complaining about people on the fediverse potentially being mean (like 15) than people on the fediverse actually being mean (0). Maybe it's just a sign that y'all got to curate your spaces better.

hello internet. i love you

i can now yell EXTRA BIG (my public posts are now bridged to bsky)
