Language around "cancel culture" 

I feel like we need to find existing words or make new ones to distinguish the application of cancel culture to/the deplatforming of people with significant power from the ostracizing of individuals with little clout to begin with.

Quitting Overwatch because of bad international behavior by Blizzard is very different from kicking a marginalized roommate onto the street because of a limited difference in politics.

Treating those two acts as equivalent can cause so much confusion. So much of it comes down to the difference in power.

programming language hot take 

go is not a good programming language

if you like using it that's fine but it has a lot of flaws

(And, as @zatnosk rightly points out, the GDPR (in Article 6 § 1(f)) allows you to delete personally-identifying information if it's in your legitimate interest to do so!)

No, #mastoadmin crew, suspending an account does not violate the GDPR, no matter what bad-faith actors might tell you. The GDPR relates specifically to data that can uniquely identify a natural person in the physical world. The only data Mastodon collects that falls under that purview is email address and a combination of latest IP address and latest connection time - and suspending an account doesn't remove that information from the database, although you can do it manually.

if you think about it, thinking it's thursday for a few hours after waking up on a wednesday is the most "out of touch thursday" you can get

So I decided to repurpose an old Soundcloud account to upload everything I've sorta finished since 2015 so go here to listen to the grand total of 12 tunes I've finished since then plus two ancient ones you probably don't want to hear soundcloud.com/forgebold

Didn't think to post this here until just now, but it's my first completed digital painting!

gun, eye contact (game artwork) 

was someone gonna tell me there was a hot lizard man in contra lore or did i have to find this out myself

Obligatory introduction post 

I'm like, Rammy! I'm a fox, I love a deer, I play a heck tonne of MTG lately, and also some FPSes, and I wanna get stuff back on track with learning programming, keeping off the bad socials, fitting more time in for gaming and such! Stream again!! I hope this can be the start of surrounding myself with less draining stuff <3

I hope you all have a good day!

anxiety 

due to increasingly pressing money concerns, i have it

i might not be able to make rent through the end of the year unless i get a job

japanese, food ref 

i just realized wagyu just means "japanese cow", like, etymologically that's all it means. wa- 和 refers to japanese-style things and gyu 牛 means cow

we need different words for "tired cos i just woke up" and "tired cos it's real late" and "tired cos i just did a lot of exercise" because those all feel like different things

i'm making myself a little toolkit on top of pygame to make simple games relatively quickly. today's unnecessary and possibly overcomplicated feature: hand-rolled VWF text using bitmap fonts

typesetting pixel fonts isn't my forte but the code itself works exactly the way i envisioned

(you don't actually need to send me five dollars)
