platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.
I'm going to keep saying this until I'm metaphorically blue in the face: the best thing you can do to secure your accounts online is to use a password manager. A #blockchain provides absolutely no benefit over using different, strong passwords for all your accounts and using a password manager like #KeePass to keep them all in an encrypted file that you - and ONLY you - control.
Use 2FA for your most important accounts, but passwords still provide account security at the most fundamental level.

It's #artvsartist2022 – here's what I've been doing!
I design a lot of stuff that doesn't get posted. Much of it is document layout, most of which is artistic but not especially interesting to look at. Here are some samples of my more visually interesting stuff from the last year, arranged in the #artvsartist format for #artvsartist2022 :
Image, fantasy creatures, firearm, blood
Finished working on a #drawing started last week, half elf gunslinger and kitsune sorceress escape from an irate cave giant. They really riled it up!
Okay, I gotta know who in my ALttPR poll voted "every day" because that's been me lately. I set up a run that's kinda guaranteed to be between one and two hours, and that's been my early exercise to get my brain moving.
Also, @orrery and I have been playing occasional multiworld games. Good times!
Had some time to add new features to #DOStodon, the Mastodon client for MS-DOS:
- implemented connection reuse
- you can now reply to toots by pressing R
- you can now clear the toot-composer by pressing DEL
- improved display of boosted toots
- added sounds

Legit question: Is there a word for the phenomenon of missing an obvious detail through a project's development only to notice at the latest, most inconvenient moment for the folks working on the project?
I've done this to other folks a couple times lately and I wanna have a word to apologize for and beat myself over the head with (though not in that order).
