The Issue of Being a Slow WriterYou might be thinking, “Slow writer? You’ve written like 800 babillion things on this website!” And while that may be true, I’ve also got three books on the burner I’ve started and never finished. My next and upcoming book, Dissolution Protocol, especially. Having just read over everything I’ve written for...

Python, Swap Out Reddit for Lemmy!As some may know, back when the Reddit devs/CEO decided to follow Musk’s decision-making like a lost puppy dog, they restricted their API and killed a ton of third-party apps. This was seen as a very bad move, and it sucked tons of butt. In response to this move, some...

Firestorm, Currently Broken on LinuxIf you’re like me, and you abandoned Windows quite a while ago, or maybe even recently, and you use the Firestorm viewer for Second Life (yes, this is probably an extreme niche of a niche of people), you’ve likely noticed that the latest update to the Firestorm flatpak has destroyed...

Centralized Social Media Eventually ImmolatesThe thing about centralized social media, and this is in direct reference of Bluesky, both because that’s what it is, and because I’d like to spite the devs, is that all centralized social media eventually turns to garbage.

mkultra.monster, and AcvtivityPub vs. The RestI’m seeing murmurs that people, at least some people, are becoming fed up with the low amount to entire lack of moderation on Bluesky. That the team behind the app sort of leaves it mostly in the hands of the users to construct block and mute lists (which comes with...

Now at [REVOSA], the Midnight Glitch!Today I woke up and felt like it was time to actually put something up in my Second Life store … again! The last two times I released something, I told myself I was going to be more consistent, and then I got distracted by the forty other things I...

You'll Never Be RichOver the past decade, there’s been a growing epidemic of excess. Influencers on social media flaunting expensive cars, designer clothing, big houses (so you wanna be a rock superstar), and then, of course, the extremely lucky Youtubers, TikTokers, and so on and so forth, who make it big because they...

It's Been A LotI haven’t written very much on my blog in the past week. I haven’t done so, mostly, because a lot has been going on in the world, and my head is spinning! In my personal life, I’m moving positions at work, so there’s a stressor, but not too stressy, because...

This is Only a TestI’m testing to see if my script correctly waits a couple minutes, and then posts to Mastodon with the description and hashtags in-tact. If all goes well, this text should show up on Mastodon as the summary.

Consolidation to OneToday I decided to consolidate my website to just one place, i.e., the place where it originates, and is built each time: Github. I’m mostly doing this because I’ve allowed some of my bills to get out of control, and I’m paying for things I really don’t need to be....
