@danbruno I gobbled down last night's delictious left-overs for lunch (but ate it during a work teleconf so no pictures) - it was homemade tadka dahl with roasted spiced cauliflower florets, fried paneer, and spinach. 🤤

Just a reminder that Twitter perceives the Fediverse as a threat, and their project Blue Sky is actively spreading FUD about ActivityPub on their website. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2022-a-self-authenticating-social-protocol

A Self-Authenticating Social Protocol

@triac8bit @kiwix Yep I'm an old fashioned FF user too. (although I do use Brave but only to access gmail and gmail only - that way it's contained)

@kiwix Agreed - I do not understand why people trust an advertising and data harvesting company so much that they allow it onto their computers

I made a browser extension that changes the word “billionaire” to “oligarch” and, well, it’s about as perfect as I was hoping.

Hey art frens

It's okay, there are no algorithms here, you're not fighting to swim upstream any more

You can sit here and just breathe and look at all the pretty things coming across the timeline while you take time to untie the knots that the other nastier places left in your creative muscles.

You don't need to perform here. You don't need to prove anything. You're valid even when you can't put pen to paper. You have the heart of a creative and that's enough.

*hugs everyone*

@GardenNicola On the big, corporate social platforms, most people subconsciously try to make everything they post "go viral." They are trained to do that because posting anything that does not drive engagement (make people laugh. get angry, etc.) gets suppressed by the platform, so no one likes or comments on what they shared (which is often processed as rejection by our brains).
