Anonymous Coward asked: favorite size cell battery? i'm partial to cr2032 myself because of sega consoles

honestly i'm a big fan when cheap tat has a charge circuit and 16850 li-ion cell holders like they're an oversized jumbo AA

i think the thing with social media is that when you're new anywhere people will (generally, unless they're assholes) give you a modicum of attention for being new stimulus to their feeds, and unless you manage to court a following after a while you will no longer have that attention. that's what drove me to mastodon in 2017 and that's what drove me back to twitter in 2021, and each time i noticed i got more attention on my work no matter how hard i posted about it.

Anonymous Coward asked: what's one of your favorite tunes as of late?

i've been getting on a Justice kick lately especially Newlands for the hard-hitting beats, but Gaspard Augé's solo stuff is good too, that's what's mostly been on rotation lately unless i'm listening to something from Soma FM because i can't be bothered to curate my own listening

today i released version 3.5 of webgbcam, my web app that simulates a game boy camera!

https://maple.pet/webgbcam

current features:
- settable gamma/contrast
- settable palette from curated selection
- settings are kept for the next session (new!)
- record 5-second gif
- 3-second timer to frame your shot
- swap between front and back cameras on mobile
- tweak camera settings after taking a shot
- hide the UI & use it as a window capture for streams!

Anonymous Coward asked: your music is good. do you have plans to put out another album or release more singles in 2023?
---
thank you! no plans, no. i want to have a better output and it turns my alloys into dust to know that i released HIGHWAY a whole two years ago, but i can only really compose when inspiration strikes. though hopefully if i get enough free time and my mental health gets better i might start composing again.

and if you've ever wished for a return to forums, i've hosted lesbiaboard since 2018

it is first and foremost a queer safe space, but anyone who's ok with that is free to join and come talk to us about video games, tech or just cute things and food

https://forums.transbian.love/

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.

well, that's my second social death this year

please share my stuff, everything i posted on twitter is gone now

https://maple.pet/

so i guess i still have about as much pull here as i did in 2017 which is i really can't even get someone to say nice words to me even if anonymously

i wish i hadn't deleted those asks i should've published them instead to push people into realizing that the only people talking to me want me dead! i mean surely if nobody else is doing anything about it that means they're ok with that

some anonymous coward decided to fill my https://retrospring.net/@maple_syrup with messages about how i'll never be a real woman and that men won't ever love me which is really funny because i'm repulsed by men so like if you'd like me to feel a little better today here's the chance to replace those asks
