Hey folks! Remember I was asking what kind of merch you'd buy for #Mastodon's 10 years anniversary? It's here now! Hoodies and t-shirts made from organic, certified cotton, screen printed with a cute unique design in 5 vibrant colors. This is limited edition stuff, 100 units each, never happening again. Note: There are women's cut t-shirts this time.

I have a playlist with a few movie soundtracks from Francis Lai, Vladimir Cosma, Goran Bregović, and François De Roubaix. What does #Tidal think I should also put on the playlist? The Benny Hill theme, Inspector Gadget, and Mission: Impossible.
A new episode in my series of tutorials on how to use #Mastodon! This time, going over every profile customization feature, from the basics, to custom fields, to verification, and more. Have you learned something you didn't know before from this video? Then please let me know!
Do you want to learn the power of search on #Mastodon? With my fourth video in my series of Mastodon tutorials, you can! Did you already know all of this, or did you learn something new? Please let me know!
Third in the series of my #Mastodon tutorials: How to deal with unwanted content. Covering reporting, muting, blocking, word filters and notification settings. If you learn something you didn't know before from my video, please do let me know!
I haven't thought twice about where "lorem ipsum" was from. It's fascinating how much history there is behind something so inconsequential. And I'm glad that some people still dig for answers when most just parrot falsehoods.
I will say one thing though... Specifically on the tracks Lexin and Stained Hearts, I much prefer the mix and vocals from the live performance. I think they hit harder and Lynn Wu's higher register makes Stained Hearts sound much more otherworldly. I'll have to get the blu-ray...
What topic would you like me to cover next in the series?

Second in my series of tutorials on how to use #Mastodon is now up. I go over the home feed, how to fill it up with interesting things using the trending feed and hashtags, and how to declutter it with lists. Let me know if you learn something you weren't aware of from this video 🙂
I've reuploaded with fixed audio and updated the link in the post.
If you learned something you didn't know from the video, please comment!
After doing a couple of private workshops on how to use #Mastodon, I've decided I could just record a series of tutorials and have everyone benefit from it. Mastodon has a lot of features, and sometimes even long time users aren't aware of all of them! The first episode is about making posts on Mastodon--going over every aspect.

The studio release sounds so big, so bombastic, so sonically elaborate that I think had I heard it for the first time this way, I would've connected to it immediately despite the irregular structure. Basically:
When I first heard it last year, I had a hard time connecting with it at first. It's not a traditional album in the sense of, well, having individual songs that you could play in isolation if so desired. It's like a whole piece, with flowing themes and motifs. It was through repeat listening that I was able to see through it.
#DevinTownsend's new album #TheMoth is out today. Deluxe Edition consists of the studio version and the raw orchestra & choir performance ("The Afterlife"). I saw the live debut performance last year on livestream and though I liked it back then already, with proper mixing it sounds absolutely phenomenal.
Finally some good tech news? #LastFM is now independent again.

No, not you too 😭
Why does it matter whether people know how to use files and tabs or re-install their operating system? Isn't it better to let people get on with their day? Well, it's like with everything in life, ignorance costs a premium. If you are ignorant of something, you can be taken advantage of. Apple sells you expensive devices capable of running any program in the world, but keeping an iron grip on what you can run on it. Google is following suit. Many such cases.
When I was growing up, we had operating systems that exposed a lot of the technical details about their inner workings, and websites that let us use code to customize them, like MySpace and Geocities. UX designers in tech have since optimized away most of the stuff that allowed and encouraged people to learn to use technology and now people get confused by files and browser tabs. And as the knowledge shrinks, more and more things have to be simplified away. I only ever see it as a one way road.
I cannot express how much I love this 🥲
I love old technology ☺️
