Pokemon Go to the Akkoma?

A week or two ago, I don’t know, I find it harder and harder to measure time, I migrated over to my own personally hosted GoToSocial instance. The software is really cool and I admire/enjoy the work the devs are doing and have done on it. But, and that’s a...

The Kuba Problem, and Other Stuff and Things

A couple of posts ago, when I was talking about all the ways Bluesky has been disappointing, and sorta kinda enshitifying itself, despite claims of being bulletproof in regard to … being enshitified, alongside data that shows that user activity on Bluesky is on the decline, while activity on the...

Microsoft Announces They'll Start Selling PCs

Much to nobody’s surprise, after selling a handheld Xbox for one thousand United States dollar-eenoes, filling Windows 11 with all of the worst back-door bots, malware, and privacy invasion tech, killing Windows 10, and contributing to an e-waste pandemic, Microsoft’s next announcement is that the follow-up to the Series X...

People Are Still Very Angry the Fediverse Exists

Nevermind the title of this post. I couldn’t think of anything catchy, or witty, mostly because I’m running on the five hours of sleep my brain allowed me to have, and I’m jittery with the excitement of finally getting some real time off from work … after tomorrow night, when...

The Sims Mobile: Shutting Down, Starting Today

I’ve referenced having written about games I’ve enjoyed becoming lost media a couple of times now. How this wouldn’t have to happen if these studios just put a little bit of effort into releasing an offline version of whatever they’re killing. This goes for The Matrix Online, to The Sims...

Discover the Fediverse

Yes, I’ve still got four tracks left to construct for my next album that’ll be releasing here in a few weeks. Don’t worry! I feel like I can get it done. That aside, I’ve been working on this thing for a little bit, and I definitely wouldn’t call it “final”...

disc eRROR 19​.​92 ~DE​-​LUX, This Halloween

So, two weeks ago, I managed to finish a bunch of tracks for my next album. This included a lot of digging up old stuff I started a year ago that I had once dropped due to lack of inspiration. And then … suddenly, I had half of an album...

Pokemon Go to the Social

I’ve been having continuing second thoughts on even remotely participating in Bluesky, largely due to the fact that the CEO is now pulling a Lowtax and banning people for criticizing her. You know, among all the other things her and the mod team have been doing all week (trolling people,...

Running GoToSocial Alongside a PDS

Earlier in the week, or, last week at this point, Jay Busky (Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky) went on an unhinged meltdown over people (trans people, mostly) asking her if the Bluesky moderation team has banned Jesse Singal yet. This obviously prompted some to drop Bluesky altogether and head toward...
