you ever have an intrusive thought at three in the morning and have to make a meme?

(last version I swear)

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

hello tooters, would you like to see my laptop? it is an mnt reform that i hand soldered. it's modified to have a lily58 style split keyboard, and to take power via usb-c power delivery rather than a barrel jack. also it's pretty and gay.

Tusky, the third-party Android client for Mastodon/ActivityPub that I use/contribute to, is currently being blocked from updating by Google. Link to middle of a thread by the lead dev about the problem:

They claim there's no "terms of use", ignoring/not understanding Tusky operates no sites and so cannot have terms of use. It's like banning a web browser for not enforcing terms of use.

EDIT: Please note the date on this post before boosting. The problem is now resolved

i don't know what possessed me to make this
