Commissioned https://vgen.co/angelrosestar / https://bsky.app/profile/angelrosestar.bsky.social today to draw a version of my avatar that's not just a rip from game assets - pretty happy with the results, I'm now a slightly less unoriginal cat online.

A++ would recommend paying artists.

A friend likes holes in her jeans, but this pair had one too close to the seam that tore out further. She hunted online until she found the perfect patch for the situation, and I got them fixed up this morning.

As usual for repairing jeans, I put denim patching on the inside and stitched it in place, then added the decorative patch.

Hey #solarpunk people from outside of the Global North!

@SolarpunkConference would like to hear your voices on why they should allow you to watch their online #conference without having a credit card compatible with the US payment system!

If Bluesky is performing in a public square, Mastodon is choosing a queer clubhouse filled with queers and partying so loud that the cishets in the street outside occasionally overhear and get all touristy and interested

If you want to post a selfie from one of the many many many many protests that are happening and going to happen, well that's a choice you can make for yourself.
PLEASE DO NOT POST PHOTOS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FACES
You may say, "Well they were in public without a face covering so they obviously didn't mind," but I'm telling you the less evidence that any particular person was there, the better. Don't be the reason someone is harassed by image boards, law enforcement or other right-wing militias.

Everyone talks about how the Steam Deck has helped Linux gaming a ton, but I don't see people talk about how it is probably the one thing (alongside the Switch, although most games don't get ported to that) encouraging “modern” games to run even somewhat passably on literally anything but $6000 gaming PCs

Where are all the reverse engineers, compiler devs, and OS devs at!? There must be some people interested in this stuff around these parts...

(Please don't recommend hashtags. It's an intentional omission, to avoid the "hacker bros".)

It's interesting that "fuck around and find out" used to be a boomer parenting strategy/threat but now it's an anarchist promise about boundaries and natural consequences

Ik loop eigenlijk al een tijdje met het idee om op mijn site een serie over #opensource software te maken. In het Nederlands. Voornamelijk om te laten zien wat er is aan #apps op #Android en #applicaties voor de #desktop.

Alleen... Neem ik dan niet teveel hooi op mijn vork? Ik heb in verband met m'n ziekte ook nog wel genoeg andere dingen te doen.

Zou er belang zijn voor een dergelijke serie?

IMHO: #BlueSky isn't decentralised or federated. The outage on 2024-11-14 is obvious proof. It may *look* decentralised and they definitely love to outsource traffic/storage costs by claiming that running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) is somehow something federated, but that's all smoke and mirrors. You have to go deep on [1] to find "networking through Relays instead of server-to-server" as their current implementation choice. THEY run the relays. No one else.
