fun fact:
if you run recent Pleroma, your server's MAC address is now permanently embedded in every post

fun fact 2:
two people run their Pleroma instance on a Xensource VM, six instances are hosted on a raspi, and there are three cases of two instances sharing the same MAC address :)

"our culture seems to be increasingly focused on finding hot takes and ripping them apart limb from limb. often this is under the guise of joking with friends or being sarcastic, but i think it stems from a little kernel of truth in how we really feel, and this is especially true when the original thought is negative in tone." snoman gaming is dropping general truths today it seems

during the classic SMiLE.dk song Butterfly, it is reported that "green, black, and blue are the colors in the sky"

from this we can conclude that the song takes place during or shortly before a severe thunderstorm that may produce hail or tornadoes. any nearby butterflies and samurai should seek shelter immediately

i guess mario maker kiiinda counts. but like, nintendo isn't gonna produce any new classic sprite art anymore. that makes me sad in a weird way

even the ones that are remakes of older games - samus returns, pokémon let's go - are in 3d now. i wonder when it happened

(contemplatively) man, the era of 2d nintendo games is probably over forever, ain't it

Shop, what do you think about trying to release a novel traditionally versus serializing it online? I'm torn between the two options, but maybe it's just that I'm not confident that I could be published after the failure of my last story being published.

poem, tech musing, ominous 

how much does a post weigh?

we cannot pick it up to hold it,
or displace water with its volume.
it has no material
and no shape.

and yet,
to those of us who live here,
it is as real and as heavy
as any knife,

and can draw blood just as readily.

URGENT 

I need to raise $1,000 USD so I can afford to rent a hotel room. This is urgent, and if the hospital doesn't take me in because of psychiatric reasons then my father will see no other option but to put me up at a homeless shelter.

i wonder how hard it would be to make a Smash Bros-style platform fighter for SNES that plays well

@rezzish Duke from Java, Wilber from GIMP, and Bonzi Buddy available as DLC

@rezzish maybe i should make a crossover fighting game featuring a bunch of software mascots and characters. Tux, the GNU gnu, Clippy, and the BSD Daemon should be enough to net me hatemail from a dozen or so different people

genuine question (out of curiosity, not necessarily a desire to actually do this): what is the policy for using Tux the penguin as a cameo in a video game? do i need to credit someone explicitly - if so, whom? do i need to buy a license or pay someone royalties? does the game need to be FOSS? (doubtless it'd be considered bad form for the game not to at least have a Linux port)

(the least realistic part of this post is the premise that i'll ever finish anything)
