I don't care if BlueSky gains popularity over Mastodon. At this point, I don't wanna be on the dance floor with the cool kids, imma be in the side room with the five weirdos I like.

Some compression for #picotron userdata serialization: a byte-oriented RLE encoding that favors recently encountered values and works well with a second lz4 pass. It gives similar results to px9 / pngcrush -brute for typical data.

I think if Bluesky had launched in November, I would have been curious. But I've been here for 5 months now and there's been a noticeable change in my physical well-being, including a drop in blood pressure.

May a thousand platforms bloom or whatever, I just hope there isn't a mass migration away from here. I'd be sad to lose this place.

The dev account has actually gone unused for a while but since I'm spending less time browsing Twitter, maybe I could post whatever stuff I make there for extra visibility?
