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...

EA Bought Out By People Somehow Worse Than EA

There are a lot of mixed feelings about EA. The publisher is notorious for buying studios, and then shutting them down. Just look at what happened to Westwood and the Command & Conquer series. But, there are studios within the publisher that are responsible for some of the greatest moments...

The Sims Social, Circa 2011

Everybody played Facebook games. Yes you did. Don’t try and deny it. We were all there, logging into Mafia Wars and clicking over and over until we beat up some random player for cash. We all had pets in Pet Society, we all had a little dude in YoVille, and...

Bluesky Isn't Decentralized, But Your PDS Is

For months, or the better part of a year, I’ve been writing about Bluesky. Writing about how they’re screwing this up, screwing that up. How they took funding from some crypto company nobody’s ever heard of, which, at first, made it look like they were simply moving to become Nostr...

DID, PDS, DNS: Oh My

So, I’ve been continually fudging around with the PDS I launched on a little six dollar server, and it’s been pretty smooth? But, there have been some hitches. Some little pebbles in the road that would stop a pallet jack on a dime. Federation seems to be working, I can...

Reminder: Windows 10 Ends on October 14th

In the past year here, I’ve casually mentioned how much Windows has moved away from being consumer-friendly, and more inched closer and closer to being probably the most hostile operating system to users ever created. Microsoft has gone from launching spyware as a service (Recall), to killing Windows 10, which...
