I'm moving to kind.social. @arborelia@kind.social is me.

I haven't hit the button to redirect my account yet because I want to be absolutely sure.

@mcc I just got a Framework. Ubuntu 24.04 works well on it so far, and I haven’t had any of the problems I was afraid of with linux laptops

It's #BandcampFriday again! For today Bandcamp waives their fees and all proceeds go to the artists!

I feel a little silly promoting my music over and over but I know not everyone who would like my music has heard it yet!

This opinion will be unpopular not because people will disagree with it but because it is incomprehensible

Today was a special day. I scored 1,016,221 points in classic NES Tetris, the first time I broke the 999,999 maxout barrier.

With that maxout, I became the oldest person to get their first ever maxout at 46 years 319 days.

After I scored that, I learned that today would have been 7-time Tetris world champion Jonas Neubauer's 43rd birthday.

I am FILLED with incredible emotion tonight.

@kritischelezer @alice And "we need less polarization" is emphatically NOT the thing to say here.

"oh can't we just compromise on whether gender transition should be criminalized?" No! We cannot!

@alice @kritischelezer Dang I wish I could see edited posts on Mastodon.

Horrific to hear that even the US subsidiary fell into transphobia.

@kritischelezer @alice The Guardian UK is extremely anti-trans, so much that the Guardian US wrote a mild op-ed trying to call them out on it.

If you don't have experience with this, listen to the people who do.

@AeonCypher @Hunterrules0_o@techhub.social @alice replace the word "dangerous" with "life-saving"

Since I see that a notable VC-famous is now telling us that he wish he'd "stood by" Eich way back, I'd like to tell you a true fact that situation: Eich didn't lose the CEO's job for his (reprehensible) Prop-8 donation.

Everyone wants to believe that's true, because fits nicely into narratives a number of invested camps want to believe, whether it's somebody being ousted for reprehensible views the woke SJW mob somehow pulling down a great leader (tm) but that's not what happened.

@Kimiko_0@social.wxcafe.net @Maverynthia and afaik, they have _also_ been targeted by blocklist drama.

I don’t know what’s going on there but it reminds me of middle school kids reacting to getting bullied by bullying those that are even weaker.

@Kimiko_0@social.wxcafe.net @Maverynthia I have never been able to follow anyone on it. they use irresponsible blocklists that a small queer instance can never come back from.

There’s #demoscene, and then there’s this abomination of nature and genius

Somebody must have bet him that he couldn’t make a demo without the computer itself
