Fun fact! There are many people out there who can help you with coding, many are physically disabled and have no other way of making rent and putting food on the table, and they actually know what they're writing, rather than hallucinating something that sounds right

You should play Phantasy Star.

I'm in the process of playing PS1 in the form of a quality-of-life improvement ROM hack and am having a (mostly) enjoyable time! The JRPG battles are pretty simple, the story is interesting, and the music is pretty good!

I'm looking forward to trying Phantasy Star 2 through 4!!

Anyone got an invite to a cool fediverse instance I can move to? Boosts appreciated!

is there any non mastodon.social mastodon instance that isn't closed left at all or should i just direct people to bluesky instead

The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time.

I have been saying this for at least a decade and I shall scream it into the void for at least a decade to come but:

the over-simplification of technical jargon, interfaces, and capabilities of end-user software and hardware have been a disaster for tech literacy of the 'general population' and have aided the creation of walled gardens more than the lack of open alternatives.

is there an instance that's replacing plural cafe or something like that
