@VDoesntKnow this makes me think of like, how in battletech things absolutely get annihilated over time, so now you need to pick what era you are playing in so that your rasalhague-based mercenary company makes sense or whatever
StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon's verification system in a clever way.
Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.
I spoke with the creater @tvler about the project, below.

@inurashii honestly? this is probably one of the best ways to use something like that!
and as long as you can recognize the possible pitfalls, finding ways of getting new things into your brain faster is not a bad thing at all~
@rinidisc oh wow, these are extremely good!
@sugar heck yeah!
backspace makes for the best programming
@SomeEgrets@meow.social oh, of course!
i mostly just wanted to point out the immediate tangible benefits it would have for some people who actually exist, even if there are a few funky bits about its vibe and prerequisite privilege~

@SomeEgrets@meow.social this is fair!
though i know specific people who were actually very recently looking to see if this was even an option for them because of how things are going in the places around them
tl;dr - the process was...not great, and the petition would be granting that option to people like that outside of literally making your case in front of a court of people who may or may not be transphobic
I encourage any of my fellow Canadians on the Fediverse to sign this petition. Including, and especially if you currently live in the States. We have a relatively easy option if the US goes sideways, many of our siblings do not.
If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, please boost but do not sign, thank you.
if you wanted to compare the two side by side, here is what i eventually released! https://soundcloud.com/archenoth/rainbow-resort
you can still kinda hear the piano above in the background!
i actually made this one first! before going for the more orchestral style the version i released ended up having
i still like the simple sound of just piano! it has kind of a charming quality in its simplicity, i feel ^^
fun fact! i actually made another version of rainbow resort from kirby's adventure besides the one i have posted!
it's just piano~ no synths or anything
@cinnamon the chip of theseus
@cinnamon huh! i'll definitely need to give that a watch!
because like, coming at this from the opposite side you are, i see so much overlap, so it'd be neat to understand what the heck is going on with that, ahah
oh! that royal road thing i composed a while back? i actually finally did something with it~
(original file downloads are on, and it's creative commons, so feel free to do with it whatever you like..!)
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
