laughing at the birdsite
@AudreyJune Rationally it's not really surprising to me, because it's the inevitable and logical endpoint for a rich/powerful asshole with a can-do-no-wrong cult following behind it, but practically... yeah, it's still astonishing and almost feels surreal.
laughing at the birdsite
@AudreyJune I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing folds in a week or two, because some system somewhere goes down and they fired the people responsible for making it not do that. Apparently nearly everyone they've begged to come back, has pretty much told them to "fuck off". Except for the H1B folks, who have no other choice...
The whole thing is eerily reminiscent of the downfall of Freenode, just at a much larger scale

crypto, poker
So, fun fact, large parts of the poker economy are tied to crypto.
This is especially true of online poker because ever since congress passed the UIGEA in 2006, it has been fairly difficult to transfer money onto internet gaming sites via conventional means.
Luckily for me, I don’t play online very much these days, and neither do the players in the cardrooms that I am consistently beating.
But it should be interesting watching the panic set in.

personal opinion:
if you want to post a thing and have it easily available for a long time,
make a static website. doesn't need to be a complicated one. get a website generator, or just write the html yourself. you don't even need a domain, you can use #neocities or some other free service.
because moving a social media profile will always be a complicated process. but a static website can be moved to basically anywhere and will survive for much longer.

@DuckForTheDuck Ik zou eerst even een backup van je account downloaden :p
@DuckForTheDuck Ah ja, dat was voor mij wel anders. Daar kom ik nu al een paar maanden eigenlijk nauwelijks meer, en dat heeft m'n gezondheid veel goed gedaan. Nu kom ik er eigenlijk alleen nog als ramptoerist voor de klikobrand van Musk...
@joenepraat Misschien is https://distro.f-91w.club/fedizine/fedizine_read.pdf wel nuttig voor de wandelclub, met dank aan @fedizine@kolektiva.social
@DuckForTheDuck Gaat voor mij ook in golven, hoor. Soms is de sociale energie ook gewoon even op.
@DuckForTheDuck Ik ben er in ieder geval nog, hoor :p

migration meta ➖️
I think I managed to understand more about why so many arguments against Mastodon as being too complex bother me, why they get under my skin. It really feels like people aren't arguing against Mastodon in particular, but rather are positively arguing that walled gardens are inherently good. At some point, it seems like the fully corporatized model captured peoples' imaginations such that the internet of the late 90s may no Ionger be possible.

Re-boosting your own posts for 'the morning crew' or 'the night crew' is an acceptable and encouraged practice here. We are largely a community of supportive people who enjoy being given the opportunity to help each other and boost content we may have previously missed.
You should never feel ashamed of promoting yourself, especially as an artist, when it's so difficult to reach people. If anyone doesn't want to see your boosts, they can just scroll past.

how to tell whether a watermelon is ripe 🍉
It’s really easy to tell if a watermelon is ripe! First off: thumping doesn’t help, and weight isn’t really a good indicator. But that’s okay because the easiest way to tell is by color. Look for a spot on the melon that’s lighter in color than the rest of the rind: this is the spot that was touching the ground while the melon was growing! If that spot is white, the melon isn’t good yet. When that spot turns yellow, the watermelon is ripe!

If you are into #pinball, this weekend the Dutch Pinball Open is happening in the Dutch Pinball Museum in #rotterdam, and it seems there's still some tickets left. #dpo is fun for recreational players as well as competitive players. Expect lots of different games, all on free play, and a lot of fun! #dpo #dpm
I'll be volunteering, so come say hi if you're coming over!
