You've Heard of Misskey, Now Get Ready for SharksFor the longest time, I’ve spent most of my fediverse posting hours on the Mastodon software. It’s basically almost all I know. You know, aside from those times I launched a GNU Social instance, and then a very short-lived Pleroma instance. GNU Social is a lot like if someone made...

Scrobbling is My New Favorite HobbyBack in 2012, and I don’t even remember how I went about it, I spent enormous amounts of time scrobbling my music listening habits to Last.fm. This lasted into 2014, and I am at least semi certain I started using Spotify for this. How I did before that time …...

LinkedIn Attempts to Yoink Your DataIf you haven’t heard by now, LinkedIn suddenly implemented a “feature” into their social network that automatically opts you into allowing them to use all of your data for AI training. To top it off, they’ve done this before altering their terms of service. So, technically, nobody’s agreed to this....

Mozilla Sets Their Mastodon Instance on FireJust recently, I wrote about Mozilla proposing their new “AI” features in their nightly builds, and was sharing around the post they made, via another user on the fediverse, calling for all Firefox-enjoyers to run on over and tell them to stop. And thousands upon thousands of people did. It’s...

Burnout Syndrome, ActivateIt’s been a little while since I’ve written anything relating personally, to myself. I’ve spent a lot of blog posts giving my own opinion on current events, or unfortunate advancements in tech that facilitate mass theft, or rolling my face on the keyboard in my Backrooms obsession. I suppose maybe...

You've Never Experienced Horror Like Kane Pixels' BackroomsFor the better part of a year, I’ve been absolutely raving about the Backrooms. A fixation on a new kind of horror that is both hugely popular, and completely under-the-radar. Something I’ve written about numerous times now, including fictional speculation, and my most recent play-through of the Backrooms inspired Steam...

AI Does Not An Author MakeToday I woke up sprawled out on my couch because I once again passed out while watching Youtube. This is a new trend for me as I inch closer and closer to 40. But, I got up, slapped some food into a bowl for my cat, and then turned on...

Illusion Connect Will Return?It was 2020, my rotation of mobile games included just two of them. I had a phone that could support … maybe three? One of them was the already very well-known Orc game, and the other was a little gacha called Illusion Connect. Okay, so, if you aren’t really interested...

Cohost is Shutting DownYesterday, on September 9th, 2024, it came across my timelines that Cohost, one of the few Tumblr alternatives, would be shutting its doors at the end of the year, and going read-only on October 1st. I’ve been a huge advocate that people join and use Wafrn as a Tumblr alternative,...

Tell Mozilla How You Feel About AIHey folks! Not a huge update today, but someone on my Mastodon timeline shared a post in regards to Mozilla asking for feedback on their incoming “AI toolbar.” I think anyone with an ounce of morals, who know the societal and environmental impacts of AI, should go here and tell...
