I’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...

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...

Over 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...

I 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...

It’s no secret that people love Spotify. For ease of listening, ease of discovering, and ease of use, in-general. And that’s how they getcha. They make it as easy and seamless as possible, so that you’ll protest less when they announce things like, “We’re not going to pay artists anymore.”...

Much to probably nobody’s surprise, I am very indecisive, and I can’t figure out what I want to do. In my ActivityPub distro-hopping adventures, I’ve installed Mastodon onto a VPS, and switched back. Not because Sharkey is bad, or not to my liking. It’s great! But I can’t keep myself...

Earlier yesterday (at this point), I quickly posted about a new comment section thing I made for my blog, and in all reality, it wasn’t finished. Someone on the fedi mentioned that forbidden words should be server-side. I also noticed that I didn’t really have a way to know that...
