#AceWeek / #AsexualityAwarenessWeek ! π€π€π
I'm going to post some photos and arts this week and maybe talk a bit about my asexuality as well. I'm always happy to discuss and answer questions on the topic!

"software/hardware from china cannot be trusted because those who made it have to do whatever the ccp orders them to"
because everyone knows china is the only country in the world with the law of "if the government tells a company/person to do something, like making backdoors and spyware, they have to", and btw every single developer/engineer/game creator from there has been personally told to make their creation a spying device /s

I have read here that one point has been reached and that is that emissions are no longer increasing compared to the previous year.

Feels like Twitter was the frog in boiling pot of water syndrome, it finally got hot enough for folks to jump into a new lukewarm pot (bsky). All the while there is a lilly pad (fedi) safely away from everything that folks just keep finding excuses not to go to...
For moral and political reason I'm glad when folks leave Twitter at least.
βWhy don't you like BlueSky?"
Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.
BlueSky says βWe don't want to be like thatβ. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.
I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.
I don't like for profit companies either, but I think there's a big difference between generic corporate greed and what Twitter has become. It's not even going for profit anymore, just hate and influence.
I wish everyone would come to Mastodon, it's my favorite place, but I'll settle for tempting them to move to Bluesky if that's more realistic. Anything to get away from the dead bird site.
Team Fenrir! Myself, @azakir, Sidd, and Sushii at Wild North last month. We shared a room and had an amazing time, made many friends, hugged everything, gazed at stars, and probably drank too much coffee.

The doctor peeked into the workshop. "Is anyone-"
"Me," the mechanic grunted.
"It's late, we-"
"Busy."
The doctor looked at the crushed droid on the workbench. "With that?"
"There's still a spark!"
"So?"
"Never took an oath like you, but it's a sentient being!"
"Oh! Can I help?"
My Halloween: my sisters acquired a cute inflatable monster and a reflective witch picture for me to stick on the front of my house, and I acquired a bowl of sweets to leave out. My parents and I then visited my sisters for the afternoon/evening and when we got back about β of the sweets had gone! By my calculations that means at least 20 people took one. (Or more likely fewer people took multiple ones. π) And it didn't look like any local wildlife had had a go at them either, so that was good.
I went for a little spidey-walk too. Saw a few decorated houses, said happy halloween to a few people. π
** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.
That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.
If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

I'm not sure if you have presence on Bluesky, but if so there is apparently a (paid) service now that will import your entire archive from Twitter, I think with correct dates and everything. I don't know of one for mastodon, unfortunately.
the cute!
Happy Halloween! This is a little animated short film about two reptilian youths trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Their mysterious neighbor notices some...YouTube
I am old enough to remember televisions with cathode ray tubes. They were a nuisance, they took a while to heat up and start displaying an image. Then we got TFT televisions and they were great. You pressed the power button and bam! they were on and working.
Then some moron invented 'smart' TVs and now the TV takes longer to boot up and play moronic animations for all the unwanted software than it took the CRT TV to warm up. And the CRT set didn't spy on you.
This is not progress.
@mkj @kaaswe I could not agree more! My next car will be a classic of some sort but I am glad to see the EU legislating to mandate physical controls.
Now to get them to mandate separation of C&C networks from entertainment networks. Segregation of smart charging from everything else. Proper privacy controls.....
Roger and Ysengrin at the bar. Just a relaxing night out for two thirsty creatures.

The Fediverse is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one backup account migration to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.

It looks like I'll be back at MFF this year for the first time since 2018. Not sure when Iβll be back again after this year, but thanks to my best friend I have a room and figured Iβd give it a shot.
The reality is that the con is massively larger since I last went, and it was difficult to hang with anyone then. So my expectations are not particularly high when it comes to seeing anyone I really want to see.
But I will make my best effort, and if you want to see me, please let me know.
so goddamn many of activitypub's visibility issues would be solved if there was 'fetch past data'/ 'auto populate' functionality
- someone navigates to a profile page that wasn't federated with your instance before? request their latest 50 or so public posts instead of just showing an empty profile with "go to the remote page"
- keep track of public replies/likes/votes to a post and relay those to instances when someone expands the post (would solve so many of the "person a: people are being annoying in my replies; person b: I don't see anything")
doesn't need to be all past data, anything is better than the "you can't see it unless you were there (federating with them) already" problem we have now
Imagine setting off on a voyage 500 years ago, sailing for months, finding land that nobody from your country had ever been to before, thinking you βdiscoveredβ something, and there are already people there.
How embarrassing, right?
