Invited my Dad to mastodon. Now to find out whether I've made a terrible mistake... XD
If anyone needs help figuring out how to make it work, just ask. Mainly, you need this library and then three others.
hey all! Remember that thing I linked a while back, the digital audio workstation? The kickstarter failed, but my friend released it open source:
Politics, Economics, Good Article, Needless Flashing Graphics Afficher plus
Hey @Gargron! Suppose I wanted to ditch Agora's current backend, a tangled mass of node.js javascript, and steal Mastodon's backend for that purpose instead. Is that cool with you? :P

Me: I'm going to get useful things done today.
Also me: But first, let's spend three hours browsing Mastodon.
XD
Wouldn’t it be funny if through destroying net neutrality, big ISP’s drove demand for mesh networks and distributed systems, effectively digging their own graves? 🤔
Went and called my state senators, representative, and attorney general. My voice tone was kinda combative on account of being anxious about talking to people, but I think I made that work in my favor. Hopefully I didn't scare the poor interns too much. XD
I sewed one of my blankets back together today. I had no idea sewing machines could get so complicated. :0
...Has anyone ever tried to write out a real life tech tree, like from a video game? I know it's probably not practical, but it'd be interesting to see the attempt. XD
puny human, I ask that you consider your feelings. it will be dealing with definite quantities, such as dozens of watches, yards of linen, or tons of iron.
I'm reminded of the talk which Illah Nourbakhsh gave about the ethics of roboticists, but it's a bigger problem than just the choices of individual engineers.

Radio: "Buy something for your furry friends!"
Me: "Wait what?"
Radio: "Something something pet supplies. "
Me: "Ohhh..."
Hah! Patreon decided to back off on the changes to the fee system. Wasn't expecting that! XD
@Angle Huh wow, I completely forgot to say what's it about, didn't I? It's a moderately hard sci-fi story with a very interesting take on transhumanism. Also, Magical Girls. XD
Hey all here's a cool story. I actually found it years ago, but it's really good so I'm reading it again. It's technically fabric, but it's pretty far rem9ved from Canon (400 years!) and can totally stand on its own legs. Enough so for me to recommend it even though I've never seen the Canon show. Y'all should take a look. XD
