I just joined #Yowza, Cards Against Humanity’s cool new social network with no lies, hate, or crypto enthusiasts. 😎 Get 25% off at the CAH store (and also help me win $69,420) by signing up with my code sandy-biden-foots before 7:30 PT. #FuckXJoinYowza yowza.social/auth/sign_up?r=…

. @SlackHQ I’m fine with the switch to huddles. But please let me set a default that opens the video window to a pre-set size. I have to click, click, and resize before a huddle is usable. We NEVER use a huddle with just voice (always either a screen share or video). Never.

I have created my first Voice Pack over at Itch -- It's "things a character might say in a computer RPG", voiced by two different characters, open for use to remix in new games. It went pretty well. Go check it out: ringmasterow.itch.io/rpg-voi…

Just to let the few of you know who are still here for some reason— My 3rd party client stopped authenticating to Twitter today. The official client is incomprehensible. I really hope we can find each other on the other new social network that doesn’t have that musk about it.

Gang, this is why centralized social media is bad. You’re watching the bad thing happen live right now. Please consider moving to a social media platform that supports ActivityPub.

I want a Mastodon algorithm shop so bad. Not bad enough to contribute to a Ruby FOSS project, but maybe a Golang one.
Excellent post from @timbray on Mastodonia's dislike of algorithms "So let’s stop saying “No algorithms!” because that’s just wrong, and figure out how to get nice algorithms built, ones that primarily are there to serve humanity’s best interests." tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/…
Today I wrote a Wordle solver in Svelte, hosted a visit with my dad, and cast some dice in resin, after laser-cutting new pieces for my pressure pot. What next?
I only follow 88 people on Twitter. I need all of them to move to Mastodon and post their addresses here before they go. I don’t want the same exact experience there, but I also have curated this list very deliberately.
I’m going to prioritize some different things in my life going forward. Correct some imbalances. It’s cool — go about your business. Nothing to see here.

Thinking of how many muppets sacrificed their lives to make just this one rug. #thoughtsandprayers
But what if I don't want to stand, watch? What if I'm BUSY WHILE SEATED at the top of the hour. Ever think of that??!!
I gotta stop eating this fun sized stuff.
Lunch today is halloween candy! Thanks to everyone who messaged me at lunch time for allowing me to choose sugar as my primary lunch food group!
What I think would really make me happy today is Trillian for iOS.
