look, all the best C coders trash talk C. the only time you should be worried is when someone's using C without talking shit about it

usually this is accompanied with a similar hostility towards cohost despite it already being in read-only mode prepping for shutdown. it's truly bizarre

explaining to the beeskeeters that what they’re refering to as Mastodon, is in fact, ActivityPub/Mastodon, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, ActivityPub plus Mastodon

@MichaelKlamerus I hope we never have a "the only social network" ever again

Except maybe if that network is fedi

people on bluesky are weirdly emotionally invested in mastodon failing

@HauntedOwlbear 3 for 3! what's my prize?

... is it being shunned from mainstream society?

i am planning to turn my venerable 2012 laptop into a dedicated linux box so i guess that'll complete the transformation

trying to advocate for fedi outside of fedi sucks. is this what people who advocate for linux feel like? >_>

Man I wonder why misinformation campaigns that foment hatred of minorities thrive when Russia engineers an Olympics trans panic as payback for being excluded and the later article detailing it is behind a paywall

I know this isn't a new and unique observation, but maybe forcing stuff that is supposed to be a public good to also be profitable was a bad fucking idea

One of my oldest friends is in need. She's a disabled woman who's husband died suddenly last month, and because he didn't have a will the entire estate has to go through probate which will cost $3500 according to a lawyer. She's completely cut off from their finances, so she needs help raising at least that much

She's spent her life taking in and helping strays (both humanoid and feline), and now she needs help herself. She's only $1700 away from the $3500 goal https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-disabled-widow-start-probate

So how are you supposed to find clip art now without risking it being AI generated

Ah yes, Mintrocket, a corporation that we're supposed to think of as an indie developer even though it's actually a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexon, is now looking to create a Dave the Diver "cinematic universe of games" which is also a super indie thing to do

Hate this trend where multi billion dollar corporations try to pretend an internal team or even a spun off wholly owned subsidiary is an uwu smol bean indie dev so fucking much. Get fucked you megacorp imposters

With the latest Twitter exodus to Bluesky I now have more followers between here and Bluesky combined than I did at the peak of my Twitter account. This inspired me to write a new blog post titled "There is life after Twitter" https://enikofox.com/posts/there-is-life-after-twitter

@HauntedOwlbear there was also an (attempted?) lynching that happened in chlorakas and i think the muktar was involved

@HauntedOwlbear that's fair. although things don't seem to be going particularly great here either... 😒

@HauntedOwlbear you have no idea how tremendously jealous i am that you get to drink orangina every day 😭

i posted this on bsky a while back, and only just realized "hey maybe fedi wants to see some of the visual art i personally created in its entirety"

so, here's my art. please enjoy

Did you know I created the little dust clouds that kick up when you run at ki-speed in Kitsune Tails? I animated a single dust particle as a sprite, then gave it multiple overlapping animations that start on different frames. When the particles get created it picks a random animation so it looks like the dust particles behave randomly when it's just one animation

@HauntedOwlbear can't tell if this is (complimentary) or (derogatory)
