social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

Fedilore Factcheck™:
- WelshPixie is a white person, living in the UK. Previously, she lived in South Africa.
- The person that WelshPixie is accusing of racism is not white.
- Making fun of WelshPixie is not racism. In fact, it is fun and easy to do.
you know when you get a really aged bit of rubber or leather and you try to bend it and it just cracks and crumbles
that's how i feel trying to get anything done today

I have a very old hand scanner lying around that has drivers for Windows 3.11. For it to work, it has to be calibrated by scanning a calibration sheet from the manual, which I don't have. (found nothing on the net either)
Scanning anything does satisfy the software, but the calibration is way off then. It looks fine while scanning, but when it applies the calibration, it messes everything up.
But I found a solution. :)

oh finally discord overlay integration with (checks notes) aseprite
maybe i'm just rusty (robot pun) but i feel it's increasingly hard to get started on a project anymore. i wish i could get my executive dysfunction and lack of focus patched out
i used to be able to write a game in like a week by doing everything "wrong". now i feel obligated to write out several data structures and plan complicated movement logic before i can even put a sprite on the screen. i hate this. i want my 14 year old circuits back
i am so sick of flat design. i need to put gradients and bevels on things more. i will be the change i want to see in the web
i already don't have a support structure here. i already barely have friends on the fediverse. i have nothing to lose by being loud and annoying about meta that is actively harming us every single day. i'm done being polite
i'm tired of being quiet and orderly under the fear that people will get away from me if i'm anything but
if i'm annoying you by being myself don't let the door hit you on the way out
if i see a single person in my spaces and championing iftas, nivenly, thebadpsace, elekk or are0h after all these events, i will block you on sight.
iftas, nivenly and thebadspace are nothing short of transphobic organizations made with the single only purpose of "cleaning up" the fediverse of us. don't let them
it's times like these i'm actually extremely proud for our instance computer fairies to be on thebadspace blocklist
to be on a blocklist that was made with the single, only, express purpose to be transphobic against us, means that we're doing something right

Meta: References about anti-transgender abuse, fediverse gentrification. Death threats, CSA, every warning.
I joined the Fediverse in 2018, but only became highly active in 2023.
The state of the transgender community was some terminally diseased bullshit: you could disrupt federation by throwing the name of any trans girl you dislike to #Fediblock with nothing more than accusations of social adjacency to the wrong people. Destroy hundreds of connections over trumped-up charges. Many of my dear friends are no longer on the network because of this.
I found the network split into two hermetic clusters i like to call Tech Mastodon and Queer Fedi. The first is barely aware of the second, eager to gentrify it, and to speak over us.
I have written about these topics at length, and taken action about them.
I wrote an article that focuses on a nonprofit named #IFTAS, due to their penchant for enabling abuse against us - this is a very long article, and the next links are more summarized:
https://aria.dog/barks/ethics-in-transgenderism/
Once I learned the #FediForum virtual conference was co-organized by a transphobe, me and friends dug up all the receipts in time, before they were concealed. I delivered an uninvited counter-talk, which is a good summary of our dysfunctional social dynamics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy5O2LjeuDY
You might prefer to read this transcript: https://aria.dog/barks/mastodon-trust-and-safety-at-the-terf-conference/
The transcript also contains a section about death threats I received about this video, which US nonprofit companies i criticized multiple times, #Nivenly and #IFTAS, decided not to take action about, despite platforming the person who made those threats. IFTAS, in particular, had a previous history of transphobic death threats from its staff, and tried to conceal the evidence. Meanwhile, Nivenly used the name of a dead trans woman to deflect accountability, then said the death threats didn’t happen.
So long as death threats are in play, i have no inclination to be civil: my community’s penchant for civility is the reason we are easy to speak over.
Do not follow me to keep up with those topics, try @fedilore instead. Me, i just pop out of random wells to chastise you, without warning, and will try to keep my activity mostly away from this account.
BTW: Queers always keep receipts, and we’ll be gay much longer than gentrifiers will be solvent.
you can save yourself $20 by saying hi to me
(which in either case are really bad manners, there are very badly mannered people following me)
there are people favouriting this post who seem to not be interested in reading it, or don't really care about what they're favouriting
if you favourite the above post without replying to it you're obligated to send me $20

i just think it's crazy that to have a good experience on linux, you're not really meant to change or customize anything. the whole point of using linux is to give you control over your computer, right? those malevolent bozos in redmond and cupertino can't mess with your system on a regular basis. no, on linux, it's a distributed group of thousands of benevolent bozos who are freely volunteering their labor to mess with your system on a regular basis
great news everybody today is international be nice to mavica and the rest of the synth system and send them kind messages day
