It is not exactly new story and I am not sure if this made the rounds in fediverse but a few days ago #archiveofourown won the hugo award on best related work. We have a huge #FLOSS community here but we don't talk nearly enough about this project.
#ao3 is an unique opensourced project that is not male dominated and also not started by people who were fulltime engineers but fans who decided enough is enough and we need to own our servers.
Congrats to Ao3!
@pettancow it's me just following raubahn around calling him that (adopted son counts, after all)

@fibonacci_reminder i'll be honest as awful as it was, at least it wasn't those fucking dubstep oil and coal commercials put out by Power Through America or some fuck like that, obviously made by a committee of people going "why don't the youths like fossil fuels anymore? is it because we need to tell them in neon and with the dubby-steps?? that must be it!! make sure you got the dubby-steps in there, carl!!!"
I AM TERRIFIED ON SOME DEEP LEVEL ON HOW YOUTUBE HAS CLOCKED ME SOMEHOW.
but joke's on them i just have never been able to get into second life, catch me on furcadia instead
@monorail @Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online holy SHIT
hey there's an updated zombo.com these days - https://html5zombo.com/
@SapphicGiraffic hmm, is food stuff interesting?
i'm fond of emmymadeinjapan, who does 'weird food videos' but in a way that's oddly calming. and i like that she gives each food a fair shake, and doesn't rush into saying something's gross.
she also has what i can only describe as "big preschool teacher energy" of enthusiasm that is somehow very calming.
she has another channel where she vlogs her beekeeping too!
@InspectorCaracal i'm afraid the keyboard is the spider's now.
i had a very nice nap all afternoon, and by nap i mostly mean one of those naps where you don't actually sleep much but you do a lot of rolling around in bed stretching out which is nice
only somewhat spoiled by my dog, who i love very much, but whose proximity settings are apparently stuck to "barnacle", because she would not settle down unless touching me in some way. this is very sweet in winter. this is not so sweet in summer
@InspectorCaracal i forget who did it and alas am not having much success googling it, but somewhere out there is a brilliant parody of "i am the very model of a modern major-general" but about video game protaganists aka grizzled white dude with brown hair who is probably an alcoholic and also voiced by nolan north
it's just a point of utter ubiquitousness at this point lol
