I like making things and witnessing other people make things. Myself I do #EmbeddedDev and #Programming alongside a fair amount of writing and TTRPG design. Dipping my toes into pixel art and eurorack modular synthesis.

I am actively trying to curate a feed of people who make things, build worlds, and spread peace.

Corona onus grave est; noli eam gerere.

Whatever this European tech sovereignty formulates into DO NOT give us European Big Tech.

Open protocols, open standards, open source. Like the 1990s internet I enjoyed as a kid. The European governments finance the projects and largely leave us the fuck alone.

No gods. No masters. ✊

@ety You're right, that's not fair.

People with MS didn't give themselves MS.

@cR0w An anal Ent sounds kind of uncomfortable, honestly.

I remain an IG fan (I refuse to use the rediculous Astra Milltarium nomenclature. If your'e gonna latin use real latin) forever because fuck yeah, I'm going to take on a necron tomb lord with my flashlight and a can of corpse starch. That's just life.

See, Titus is your favoruite space marine because blah blah duty and honour blah.

Titus is my favourite Space Marine because he consistently gets dealt the kind of hand the Imperial Guard are dealt and fights anyway.

(Besides, my real favourite space marine is Gunnery Sergeant First Class Roberta Draper, and you put some respect on her name.)

@kkarhan Yeah, it's not the worst idea, but there was a reason the signal rollout to near-mass adoption took just a handful of years and PGP is largely unused decades later.

This is not a UI/UX the 'tech illiterate normie', as you say, can or should navigate. There's pieces missing in the ecosystem, too, but some of that starts wandering into "beyond my paygrade"

@barubary You have got my marrow.

There's no science in what I'm about to say at all, but I'm not entirely convinced that modern medicine's over-concern with "healthy" weights being on the leaner side isn't an effort to promote the idea you should be getting by on less.

The only hole in my argument is, of course, that when they've got a good deal going I can often spend less at a mcdonalds than a grocery store, calories-per-dollar.

AP platform that's just mastodon but with livejournal mood indicators.

For tone reasons.

@munin @tempest I would hesitate to suggest most node users comprehend the difference.

"Okay, I'm gonna go get that other limb." is an insane thing to hear.
