@aearo @kistaro @Goldkin @Veladynee So many nyooming dergs! Seems like a lot of fun to be able to freely roam space like that.
why am I not a goddamn dragon, huh
Living in a pre-transhumanism pre-post-scarcity planet-locked era is exhausting.
@Oneironott *manifests* Yes?
identity feelings brainfart
I've randomly remembered that as a teen, back when I had a human OC persona, I really wanted a dragon form. I've got a big folder of art where I must've designed like 20 dragon forms trying to get a feel for it.
And now I'm just a dragon, so it's like, I dunno. Maybe it was suggesting something back then.
It's my birthday in a bit over a week and I don't even really have anything I want as like, the main thing. I usually get video games when they come out nowadays, and there's nothing I want coming out within this timeframe to cover that.
I guess there's Lost Judgement? But I need to finish Yakuza 7 first, because supposedly it spoils it.
Then again who cares about video games, can someone end capitalism and bring about an era of furry transhumanism for me? That would be nice.
re: dream nonse
@Goldkin Alright that second one would super weird me out if I dreamed that.
@Oneironott If I'm understanding right, dragons *also* have contiguous tail-butts.

twitter and the algorithm's treatment of artists
I don't really care to use Twitter to advertise myself, reach clients or new people, or anything like that. I use Twitter only out of obligation to remain in contact and keep up with friends' lives. I'd much rather be hearing about things in chatrooms or LJ.
But I'm seeing this one really lovely artist - Flash White - with thousands of followers, who seems to struggle to get any attention on, possibly because the algorithm is de-prioritising their posts. This is a problem for them when they need commission clients to pay for medical bills.
If I was pessimistic, I'd wonder if their account is being decimated by the algorithm because they're seemingly in Russia.
But the fact their art doesn't see anywhere near the attention their follower count ought to suggest, feels like a major example of how algorithmic timelines screw artists over, who don't work off of banal metrics like "engagement".
Turn off "home", use "latest tweets", don't play Twitter's game.
@noiob It's fine, probably good I tripped it early anyway.
@noiob Excellent! I'm in~.
@noiob Thanks for the help, glad to know it's not something strange with my machines or connection.
@noiob Tried with a fresh FF profile (which ought to have no website data/cookies and all) and same problem. Trying to directly load /web/timelines/home after an attempted login redirects to an /auth/sign_in page.
@noiob Nah, I'm still getting redirected back to /about with the login, even if I try to go to /web/timelines/home.
... I would never normally touch Edge but it is useful for checking if something is broken because of cookie settings/etc or not.
Okay after some testing, I'm pretty sure something is wrong on Awoo's side in terms of logging in. I'm not sure why my login was booted on my desktop, but I can't log back in on Firefox or Edge, and I tried Edge on another machine and got the same problem.
(cc: @noiob ?)
Even my laptop still has a working login, but my desktop still can't log in, instead giving a "this page is not correct" error. The hell??
Okay I can get onto Awoo using my phone (browser) login, which seems to still exist, but my desktop appears to have dropped the ball and login doesn't work, what gives.
