Interesting. 4K is mostly a lie.

I hope the dog is gentle 😅
You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

Have you enclosed your horse today?

There are now 58 big plushies left (US only), and 22 small ones (US, UK, EU).

Please be aware that whenever I post something like, this is what's playing in my head.
I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big #plushtodon is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!
I could not resist sharing at least a part... It was the first snow of this winter.
I got my first roll of #Super8 film developed. But, since I filmed near where I live, I cannot share the footage online. Still, it's so cool! Focusing on the Yashica Super-600 is not easy though, especially with a moving subject.
I know it's a long shot but if someone who sees this found their way to Mastodon through one of the leaflets we distributed at #FOSDEM, I want to hear from you--what did you think of the leaflet? I need to generalize those for other events.
Someone at #FOSDEM asked us to put some promotional materials on our website that they could print for an event. There is now a section for that on the Branding page with our first poster:

We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community. The harder part will be untangling my gaming communities from this…
I hate that I had to think about the modern equivalent of asbestos--the wonder material of AI--at the time, but it made me think of how a line its proponents often use is that the introduction of generative AI mirrors the advance from painting to photography--a line that's been said to me even on this platform. Of course, that's a lie. Photography never replaced *this*. It simply cannot.
Amelia and I got to visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels--specifically the old masters collection--and it was fascinating. Didn't have nearly enough time to see everything, only a couple of rooms before closing time. They don't prepare you for how large these paintings are in real life.
This video is so depressing.
Our free stickers went like hot cakes yesterday at #FOSDEM. The new "My friends are not for sale" ones are all gone, they were an experimental last-minute print of a new design (which is coming soon as a t-shirt, by the way!). The less stuff for us to carry back home, the better. I wish people would grab the leaflets too!
It is @Ameboid’s birthday! 🎂

Excusez-moi?! I'm still on Mastodon, still working on Mastodon--I love it here. Seems like the journalist has now removed the paragraph from the article, but has not published a retraction, and the false statement is still in the audio version. Where did they get this idea from?
I'm looking forward to #FOSDEM. We're bringing some easy to carry merch, loads of stickers, and even leaflets I designed. Definitely come by Mastodon's stand if you're there ☺️ We're going to be in building F this time.
New #Textures album sounds decent. I like it more than what I heard from them before.
It is my birthday! I’m now 33.
I put together a playlist of some of my favourite songs. Feel free to shuffle, they're in no particular order. Let me know if you discover something you like through it 👍

I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.
Whenever you see what #ICE is doing in front of cameras, you must imagine what they're doing where nobody can see them--like in the concentration camps the USA is building. It's easy to read those words and much harder to fathom what they mean; that this is happening in our day and age, in what until recently was believed to be a first world country. "Abolish ICE" doesn't go nearly far enough in my view.
I just got an idea for this year's #plushtodon that I'm very proud of but won't be able to share for months to not ruin the surprise. And of course something might prevent it from happening so no guarantees...

I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.
Well, if like me, you're looking for a European alternative to Waveform Lighting, euroLighting isn't it. All the numbers are the same on the box (2700K, 800 lumens, >= 95 CRI) but the color is noticeably more piss-yellow 😦
