@grueproof@fosstodon.org

Based in suburbia between Cleveland and Akron OH, USA. Coder by day, game master by night.

I am all about a good story: hearing, witnessing, or creating. Tabletop RPGs are my medium of choice. I consume books voraciously.

I believe in both the power of privacy and the power of sharing. People over profits. We must hang together or surely we will hang separately.

If you can’t get to it without an app or account, it’s not a podcast.

I'm curious: Do you consider yourself/identify as a hacker? (pls boost for range if you don't mind)

Adding to my generalized morning worries is the latest signs of just how badly my industry is degrading. No one is unaffected. Feeling crushed between the "Just switch to Linux" sentiment I'm seeing and the entirely understandable backlash of "Don't tell me just to use Linux". Now with search engines too.

I have no other answers to offer. There are no simple answers left. The options seem to be accept hot garbage or figure it out entirely for yourself. Neither are great.

From @cstross, nailing it:

"Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like we're living in a bad cyberpunk novel from the 1980s?

It's because these guys read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a dystopia for a road map. They're rich enough to bend reality to reflect their desires. "

I just set up a monthly donation to @somafm for their May Pledge Drive. Can you help them out, too?

"Our fundraising is running behind, and we could really use your help. We still need to raise $24,760 this month (or $2,760 a day for the next 9 days) to meet our monthly budget. So far today we've raised $2,941, and for the month $45,239."

A Pause for Station Identification:

I'm Chris Miller. I've been doing stuff on the internet since running a BBS in 1987. I write code for a living.

I've been an RPG author, a podcaster, a writer, an editor, a coffee roaster, an amateur brewer, a corporate manager, a golf club assembly-line worker, a wizard, and a father and husband.

I'm a moderator here on Fosstodon, and I love supporting a community focused on .

I try to keep it positive. If you follow me, I hope to make you smile.

It is by pollen alone I set my sinuses in motion. It is by the juice of histamine that the eyes acquire itch.

(Sigh of relief.)

Now I just have to resist the temptation to fill the empty space with guitar stuff. 😅

I need to stop thinking about my little personal coding projects a potentially useful and see them as they truly are: the modern equivalent of building ships-in-a-bottle.
