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...

That's Very Decentralized Of You, Bluesky

You’ve probably heard it by now, or have seen my many posts on here about Bluesky, and their false claims of decentralization, or of what kind of social network they’re even trying to be. From their blockchain, crypto investors, to the extreme right-wing accounts they refuse to moderate: Welcome to...

Make The Move To RSS

It’s been a while since I’ve written some kind of long-form post on my site. At least, since I introduced writing Notes and Logs on here, in a quick and simple way to just post something without worrying about it sounding coherent and planned. It’s only going to continue, from...

The Digital Social Downfall

I see, sometimes, people talking about how they don’t really use any specific social media app as reinforcement of anything they do, or share, in regard to work, or art, and that if they did … if that was their main mode of deriving support, money, and so on, and...

Kingdom Come: I Keep Messing Up

I’ve been spending a couple of days sprucing up my site, adding things to the feed, making it more like … a social media feed, and then I got myself a copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Now, I played a little bit of the first one, but that was...
