green monochrome monitors were so futuristic when i was a little crow

like, you have to understand, coding in quickbasic was so exciting, we only needed 640kb of ram, and floppy disks were actually floppies

ofc, the first thing i did was to crash the computer in the most destructive way possible

i have no idea how i did it, but that cpu burned

@Chel that was a thing.

my favorite part of that was telling people "yeh, we wrote our own software" and looking at the incredulity and laughter from people

then they saw it and were like, "uh fuck, this can't be real!?"

ofc, none of this matters bc forums are now the old thing and uh... federated stuff is the new hotness????

thinking back to my days running forums and such

...I honestly hated just about every single forum suite I've ever used, with the exception of one that @Scarly made, and I only liked that one because I dictated basically every aspect of it.

looking at the 70K grant or whatever from Samsung NEXT and can't help but see flashes of every other foss or community lead that turned out to be Into That Capitalism when the corporations call. the juxtaposition of issues around paying mods doesn't help the vibe.

sloppy joes have been slopped.

simple enough, even with homemade sauce, that it doesn't require too much in the way of spoons to make. one of my favorite low-ish effort meals.

Not sure how to boost this more. But let's get this inf ront of the faces of those 922 patrons, whom are paying for supporting and running Mastodon (which should include the moderation team right?)

"Reimbursement for the mastodon.social mod team"

It is time to get the main (and Only truth be told) moderator of Mastodon.social a living wage. please.

I was inspired to draw do this after having sat next to @Scarly while she examines the mastodon source code

and, apparently, some spilled coffee as well Dx
