Pronounshe, him
a too popular video wtf

Saw this today and thought "Mastodon/Eugen, your goal is noble & your heart is in the right place, but Mastodon is the nerd circles. That's why all the tech folks moved to ActivityPub back in November 2022. That why folks like me think about spinning up their own instance."

Like, to make sure any of these places or their underlying technologies take off requires admitting who is already embracing it and why, and then thinking on if that's the desired outcome or not.

twitter requests go brr:
Leaking my new album just a little early, as a treat: https://youtu.be/t-hudi9_6_E

So, my new Nerdcore Hiphop or really Hyperpop Drill album is already out for my Bandcamp subscribers. It's laden of overthinking the impacts of LLMs and ML through my regular otaku perspective amongst other things. Really, I might be have more fun pushing the production aesthetic into uncomfortable pockets than solidly sticking to a thesis or over-working my delivery to flavorlessness. Hopefully that makes for a fun listen for someone else: https://ultraklystron.bandcamp.com/album/deep-neurotic-network https://ultraklystron.bandcamp.com/subscribe

Damn Twitter is getting desperate
So, I joined bluesky after grousing for an invite on twitter, and yeah, it's basically broken twitter mixed with broken mastodon. At least I kiss of death'd it by joining it early, as typically any website I early adopt bites the dust, from mp3 dot com to ello to canvas to all of Google's attempts, nothing says "this will never be a thing" than my presence in its early days. I even verified my website to get the handle.
Did someone just make the Google Authenticator app icon a Community reference?
Well, got retweeted by Desus Nice for giving him and Dril props for trolling Elon's scummy forced verification scheme. I'll never get a better post on that site off.
You know, I've never seen itasha translated as cringemobile before, and that's honestly dead on, but damn if it doesn't sting extra spelled out like that 😅
