Ya know, I ❤️ Mastodon because I actually get to see art by artists I can’t see anywhere else. Because they’re usually buried underneath an algorithm that serves only to make money for the platform.

I wouldn’t have discovered SO MANY genuine, talented, authentic, smaller-scale artists anywhere else. Because I’d never have seen them. Because those sites only privilege success.

You want to find new art? Fresh artists? Raw talent? Look on Mastodon.

it has been zero days since foone has opened up some old tech and accidentally gotten information she was not supposed to have.

I need my students to understand that to get away with openly committing blatant plagiarism you have to be a billion dollar megacorporation, which they are not

Ik hoor al jaren -over wetgeving als cameratoezicht, fouilleren, sleepwet, etc- "Vertrouw je de regering dan niet?"

Waarop het standaardantwoord altijd is: "De vraag is: vertrouw je de regering die er over tien jaar zit?"

Deze term ga ik overnemen. #OrbánTest #Orbán #ViktorOrbán

Let op: volgende week opnames Te Land, Ter Zee En In De Lucht in de Efteling; met open tribune voor parkbezoekers.

Fedi, help me!

Trying to find a Youtube vid, from at least 5 years ago, maybe much older. The concept was that the writer and animator from the channel had swopped places for a vid, so we were seeing what the writer had drawn based on the artist's script. The "story" was just a character going round and seeing a bunch of stuff that was really hard to draw; I don't remember them all, but one I do remember was the character saw 1,000 (1,000,000?) triangles, each with distinct lengths and angles.

Are you blind? Have you heard of the commandline, but don't know what it means or how to use it? I recorded a tutorial that shows how to use a popular commandline utility called YT-DLP to download the audio version of a video with a screenreader, and how you can apply this to other commandline applications. This will accomplish jobs more quickly and bypass inaccessible graphical user interfaces. I hope you find it helpful!

I really do resent the hamster wheel of being an adult for how it hobbled my capacity for creativity

Does anyone know where the queer potions emoji are? (Original source, not reups)

the new ayaneo retro handheld looks like what you'd find in a 2007 future consoles video labeled as "PSP 2"

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

Watching a series and the characters are having a "first date" and its in a fancy restaurant wearing fancy clothes and meanwhile my preferred dates are like

Have a chat while
- riding public transport together
- walking through a park
and if that was a positive experience go to someones home, get comfortable on sofa or bed, talk about whatever and slowly move closer to one another if it continues to be a positive experience

I don't get cis hetero dates at all tbh
