My treasured, most excellent followers, amazing fedizens, mischief-makers, music-lovers, and creatures of multiverse. I’m excited!
Today, under the light of a full moon, I present to you, a brand new Dgar song! Airlock is out now!!
Also, I have bonus shenanigans.
I’d like to give some algorithms a good punch in the face, and shock them into noticing this, my first new release of the year. If you would be generous enough to give my new track a play (or three) on your favourite streaming service (and your second and third favourite streaming service if you’re up for it), I would very much appreciate it.
This experiment will need a lot of people, so please don’t scroll by. I really do need your help to do this. It’s a short song, a bit over two and a half minutes, and I’m really excited for you to hear it!
It’s my dream that I can spend my days making music and sharing bad jokes for all you beautiful beings. I’m working hard right now to release at least one new song per month for 2024. The goal is to supplement the income from my part-time job, at least enough that I don’t need to get a second job.
Additionally, if we can make a meaningful impact on a song release with this kind of action, I’d love if we were able to help other musicians and songwriters of Mastodon with their song launches in the future. Perhaps we can come up with a hashtag for this kind of mission? Please leave your thoughts, suggestions, and expert knowledge in the comments.
I’ll pin this toot, and share the insights, stats, and relevant results for this experiment in the comments as they become available.
Thank you for your help in my attempt at breaking the interwebs. Hopefully we can give some algorithms something to think about!
Boosts are very much welcome and appreciated! I adore those favourites and likes too!
Some people on #Mastodon#boost terribly much. You know, those guys who want to show you everything they find interesting themselves. I am one of them.😁
If that gets on your nerves, you don't have to block or mute turbo #boosters. There is a much smarter solution to receive only their original posts!

Wenn du nett und freundlich bist, dich über alles unterhalten kannst, tiefgründig bist, humor hast und auch mal diskutieren kannst ohne zu streiten, das Herz auf dem rechten Fleck hast....
...und #TeleGuard nutzt dann ist die Gruppe Lebensraum vielleicht etwas für dich.

Für unser #Tandem brauche ich vorne eine Kurbelgarnitur mit 170 mm, bei der LINKS ein 1-Fach Kettenblatt (7 Gänge) mit 32 Zähnen ist. Ich kann sowas nirgendwo finden..
I heard that votes have been changed to behave closer to how people would expect, and boost is staying here as well. So I had an idea how to bring it all together in the interface....
Open source folks, I need your help. There's that number, floating around the internet for YEARS now, that claims that ~70% of modern software components are made up of open source software.
I cannot, for the life of me, find the actual source for that. As in, who arrived at that estimation and how.
Can someone please help me track that down or put me in touch with someone who might know?
Any of my mutuals know about starting/running a newsletter and would be willing to help me out a little bit? LMK. Or give me a #boost, maybe a kindly stranger will see it and reach out.
I'm unsure if signing my #Git commits is the best idea. When my #GPG key expires, commits will show on #Github as unverified. Should I stop signing my commits? I'm aware you can renew keys. However, if you no longer have access to the key, then it can't be renewed.
If a GPG key could no longer be retrieved, all commits signed with that key would appear as unverified, from what I understand.
Perhaps #boost for more visibility? :blobcatshrug:

OC Assuming boost stays as some sort of a super-upvote/share combo alongside regular up/downvote buttons, here's a UI idea on how to merge it into one unified voting system. App animation + web block mockup

"Boost" needs a visual rework on kbin
It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin....
