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

i make music: https://maple.pet/music

i make open source tech tools and toys: https://maple.pet/tech

i started the netizen club and the link cache, to help my yearning for a simpler internet: https://links.netizen.club/

i'm looking for work. if you know anyone who needs someone with 8+ years professional experience plumbing nearly any sort of bespoke tech, talk to me.

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

it's honestly transphobic nobody sent me a nissin mystery meat box from japan while they were still on sale

do not tell others that it's ok to ask for help if you're unwilling to be that help #FediTips

ok #ditherinator (still 0.4 no version change) should now have a polyfill that takes care of rendering issues in #safari that caused the pre-process sliders to not affect the image

#chrome still isn't, and will not be, supported

i've just been alerted that if you're not using #firefox then there's a good chance that #ditherinator never fully worked correctly for you lol

it's 2025 and i'm still begging people to use "smooth" instead of "sharp" antialiasing on text being rendered at any angle other than 0 and 90 degrees

maybe if i set up my posts to be deleted after x period of time i start thinking about social media as the ephemera that it is and make proper blog posts more often

i think the last time i tried playing terraria before playing it with our polycule now was when i still had a computer with a CRT monitor

turns out terraria is pretty fun once you get over the trauma of groups of acquaintances running circles around you and laughing at your inability to find even the most common of ores

still haven't seen any bosses though

What is your webhosting or site design for your website. I love how clean it is on the mobile side of things — maple.pet is built on top of Grav CMS with a custom template i wrote by hand from scratch! there is no framework or library … https://retrospring.net/@maple_syrup/a/113851996408769282 #retrospring

gnome sucks lmao

What strikes me as particularly ironic is GNOME’s own Human Interface Guidelines, which proudly state, “People are at the heart of GNOME design.” With all due respect, if that’s the case, maybe I’m not considered “people.”
