Eugen should always be remembered as the creator of Mastodon. His project opened the possibilities to many people who never thought a social media experience outside corporate entities was possible.

However, the project has made little progress in the subsequent 7 or 8 years since its introduction. His myopic decision-making and refusal to adapt ideas that would improve the experience have driven away so many brilliant people and tempered the enthusiasm of those who remain because they know convincing him of good ideas will be more complicated than implementing them.

The Glitch and Hometown forks of Mastodon are already significant improvements over the original because they include features that help people build the communities they want rather than what Eugen thinks they want, so we know Mastodon can be better.

Unfortunately, a single person continues to thwart progress because their inability to realize the project is more significant than his initial vision. Still, he cannot be trusted to guide Mastodon to its rightful place.

He has repeatedly demonstrated that he lacks the leadership and insight to do so. For Mastodon to make significant progress, he must be removed from the decision-making process.

That is the way forward.

Dear other artists,
I have just discovered that uploading pngs to webglaze or running pngs through Glaze produces FAR more desirable outcomes than jpgs. Wish I knew this beforehand as I'd be uploading all my works as pngs! A small tippy tip from me to you. :)

I will note, the bypass was entirely incidental and I was locked in to beating up Ridley without wave beam or varia suit so I just rolled with it all the way to the end

Picked up Metroid Zero MIssion on my steam deck on a whim, ended up bypassing most of norfair and landing a time of 1:56. Not bad after not playing for... I've lost count of how many years

I commented "laptops don't get slow, software does" on a video on upgrading your laptop and WOW was I taken aback by some of the response.

People actually believe degrading thermal paste is to blame for a messenger app taking half a gig of RAM?

That the Epic games launcher takes ages to launch because it has so many features?

That a news website is downloading and interpreting a small operating system worth of code for-what-reason-exactly is the march of progress?

I was told, "if you boycott every game that is made using any AI stuff, this will probably be your last year playing most games."

Two years back a bunch of photographers and musicians I followed decided NFTs were the future. I stopped buying their stuff.

NFTs died. Blockchain and crypto are dying.

It's within our power as consumers and creators to say "no."

When someone puts a knife to your throat (and that's what "AI" is to many creatives), you're not obliged to point out your carotid.
