I dream in colour, but wear a lot of black.

I like it here, think I’ll stay.

Please follow me on my new account @Revolverer as I’ll probably delete this one soon…

…alternatively of course, this is also the perfect opportunity to get rid of me if you didn’t want to seem rude.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't really get the appeal of haloumi

Retr0mantic,

@eniko I heard Haloumi isn’t keen on you…

OK, so if I’m changing my username, which necessitates a new account, should I try a different instance, or even…. ?

Some great titles arrived today. A different take on the three different generations in one picture 😁😍

Retr0mantic,

@PixelBandits I absolutely loved that Burnout game. It’s maybe still my favourite.

The end of - at least as a brand — appear imminent if tonight’s postings by the platform’s owner are serious. He has just announced: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”

Retr0mantic,

@w7voa @lisamelton WTF

** 'You carry it all your life': What it's like coming out as transgender in your seventies **

I really enjoyed reading this story from New Zealand a few years ago, so I dug it out to share here after a long search. Because maybe you'll enjoy it too

Ooooffffffff.

Sucks that I have no one to go see the Barbie movie with 😒

Guess I'll have to wait to stream it.

Retr0mantic,

@hotkey You can go and see it by yourself. I’ve done that before - it’s miles better.

Retr0mantic,

@hotkey Fair enough. Maybe try it next time with a more comfortable demographic. Although, you’d maybe be surprised.

Look what I did!

I bought a Rubik’s Cube, but I’m not going to mix up the colors because I’d never be able to get them back together so it’s just going to stay like this.

Retr0mantic,

@Alice If you end up stuck, post it to me and my 10 year old can do it in under a minute!

All my Street Fighter doodles so far ʕ•ᴥ•ʔﾉ☆

First row is from this month, July. Then doodles from February, and last one are from January

Even though Vega is my favorite, as I included him twice, Chun-Li remains the popular one of all of them

Retr0mantic,

@sayomgwtf Wonderful. I think you’re doing them a disservice calling them ‘doodles’!

Reminds me of the time my wife was complaining that I'm messy.

So I made this solar system out of drinks she forgot about under the sofa.

Just realized that 80% of LinkedIn has always felt it was written by ChatGPT.

Retr0mantic,

@rands @lisamelton Haha, it’s funny ‘cause it’s true. I hate LinkedIn. I really wish I didn’t need it for work.

"You shouldn't make your income reliant on a social media service, you should use online spaces you own"

nobody visits a website unless they see the link on social media or on Google first and nobody is gonna Google for something they don't know exists, not in a way your blog or website will show up in search results ahead of websites full of SEO gaming cruft

don't give me that "it's harder" shit, its not harder, it is absolutely completely and utterly IMPOSSIBLE unless you start out already famous. You might as well be saying "don't make your income reliant on social media; simply starve to death instead"

Retr0mantic,

@eniko I’ve been thinking of using the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress and hopefully getting the best of both worlds…

    Regarding Instagram Import, we've heard your feedback and will be implementing some improvements:

    • Public visibility by default
    • Improved caption parsing
    • Clear pending imports (rate limited)
    • Mass remove existing imported posts (rate limited)

    We hope to get these shipped later this week!

    Retr0mantic,

    @pixelfed I’ve been trying for weeks to get it to work, but no joy. Just stalls forever…

    Would it be bad form for me to put my vector art stuff on Pixelfed? Is that platform more for photos than art stuffs?

    Retr0mantic,

    @andycarolan There’s a Pixelfed.art instance I think.

    Pixelfed signup and login via Sign-in with Mastodon

    Retr0mantic,

    @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon Will I be able to login with Calckey eventually?

    One thing I own which is cool as hell is a vibrating reed based tachometer.

    Lots and lots of tiny reeds, each tuned for a specific frequency. Place it on a piece of equipment, and the reeds start to vibrate if they're the same frequency as the equipment.

    Placing the tachometer on an Air Conditioner condenser

    Retr0mantic,

    @kwf @m Oh wow, that’s lovely.
