Today, I Have To Defend Bluesky

I’m writing this, partially because, I need something to write about to take my mind off the pain of potentially having broken my toe at work, and because I’ve seen and kind of keep seeing people sharing this as a way to say, “Hey, Bluesky is about to start scraping...

Social Media Was Good For A While

Yeah, I’m writing about something I’ve written about a few times now, but it echoes my feelings of getting older, and wishing we could take at least parts of the world back twenty five years or so. But, why? Would I, or anyone else, really actually enjoy interacting with an...

I Spent Two Days Playing World Of Warcraft

You might look at the headline, “I spent two days playing World of Warcraft,” and go, “What is this, 2008?” And, honestly? I wish it was. But, the past it is not. Recently, I had a position change at work, and now I have to sleep during the day. But,...

Ingest Your Bluesky Posts To Jekyll

Recently, I figured out how to get the mastodon-markdown-archive script working, which is a great script, and you should check it out, here. But! I wanted to do the same thing with Bluesky, in the case that Bluesky could be bought out by billionaires and destroyed in the same way...

International Women's Day: My Favorite Female Characters

As you know, it’s International Women’s Day, and so, instead of writing continually about the dudes trying to steal the world’s creativity and ingenuity for their own profit, I wanted to write about my personal favorite female characters. Maybe you’re thinking, “Shouldn’t Women’s Day posts be about real women?” But,...

It's Time To Talk About Slop Enjoyers, Again

It’s been a while since I’ve written about the egregious battle of attrition basically anyone who does anything creative has been having with AI generated sludge. The way I deal with it, is by simply blocking and reporting every single instance of it that I see on every single social...

Did Mozilla Ban Pornography?

Update: I’ve been made aware that Mozilla’s AUP has been the same for decades, and this is only coming to light, because the egregious changes they’ve made more recently have brought more strange things to the surface. I wasn’t going to write about all of this, at first, because it’s...

Neo Machina: Online

It’s been quite a while since my city in Second Life has been online, or even seen any light of day. For the most part, it’s been inactive in Linden Lab’s backup servers for well over six months, maybe longer? I have a hard time keeping up with … time....

Reasons You Should Jump On My Patreon

I was trying to think of something I could write long-form. It’s always some controversial topic, or a topic of interest, and then a week of lulls in inspiration of anything to write about. There’s plenty going on in the world, and there are lots of people talking about that...

Nova Prime, Now Also An Archive

I’ve been doing a lot in order to get my website to act as a more central place where all of my thoughts and posts are stored. One of the issues I was having, is that it’s really cumbersome to have to generate a post, then make that post, then...
