The internet is becoming more and more a cesspool of LLM generated trash, and it is important, now more than ever, that we cling to the Human-Made-Web. Our website (https://fodongo.ca) is coded by hand, and hosts art and stories made by real people with things to say and wonder to share.
Asking for money has never been one of our strong points, but we reckon that it is true what is said: If you don't fund the art you enjoy, it will cease to exist.
So please, if you are able to, consider becoming a Yearly Subscriber to this project, for only $30CAD per year. We have many more things in the works to make Fodongo an even richer environment than it already is, and to increase the power of our Cultural Commons. It would be lovely to have you with us.

You also help us by sharing it! So doing that would be much appreciated too!
As usual, the comics from this issue will be released week-by-week on our website for everyone to read, beginning next week.
Thanks so much for for reading and supporting indie artists and Free Culture for the past 2 YEARS. You have no idea how thankful we are.
Solidarity,

My cozy mystery, The Case of the Missing Finger, is being featured by Bookshop.org this month! 🎉
I love Bookshop.org because they let me sell #DRMfree and they support independent bookstores as well.

A sweet spot in the colour palette for these images, a result of the direction the camera's pointed; the top third of the image is a mezzanine level with tiered seating, which is further away and darker. The foreground competitor manages to have their right hand bracketing the motion blur of the competitors further back.

Another shot of the warpainted BSK Jammer, again in a forward-leaning stance, as if she's running headlong. A full dawn-to-dusk panorama from yellow at left through to olive green at right.

If you're in #Türkiye and like your #gaming to be #DRMFree via #GOG, but don't want to overpay:
I've now added support for Türkiye and the Turkish Lira to #GameSieve - my price tracker and alternative exploration service for GOG's catalog - about three hours after GOG did so themselves. (They're on fire with adding new currencies lately; I can barely keep up!)
Another image taken rightwards, across the open space of the high school gymnasium where the tracks were laid out. The focus on the camera for these images is fixed, and I'm not using the viewfinder; just scoping it out by watching over the hotshoe. We're sitting on the floor next to the track, camera at (our) chest-high.

Has anyone ever thought about how digital goods like ebooks, mp3s, videos, games and so on could be "transferred" legally to new owners?
In theory, DRM secured closed systems like Steam or Amazon would be able to implement such a thing. But of course, they will not do it, as they would earn less money.
I'm not able to buy or sell my "used" mp3s / movies /ebooks.
Isn't capitalism great?
This competitor, the Jammer in pink is in a number of images; she was particularly striking to see in action. A full face of warpaint, and the most powerful athleticism. She features again, and again; this forward-leaning aggressive stance, arms, legs absolutely powering her way along the track.
