Quite pleased with the new build I finished today. What if Grover and Oscar… you know.

@grrrr_shark Thanks! This one definitely falls under the “I don’t want to sell it” category 😂

You should be proud of me. Someone in a Discord I’m on was all like “Hey, AI lets me make a decent ‘painting’ of something without having to commission it and that’s cool!” and I didn’t engage and start a fight with some random stranger. Proud of myself and my new elevated blood pressure.

I will say here though, cuz I know I have a sympathetic ear in The Fediverse, that if we as a society valued people more than things, the AI “debate” wouldn’t be happening at all.

They want the art, but they don’t want to pay people to make the art. It’s 100% an ethical issue.

Mind if I ask what b2b services you use to support your work? I'm a big fan of garage and cottage industry and makers, and I wonder how to expand the market in all ways. I'd go work at a company doing such.

@travisfw In terms of supply, there aren’t a lot of options for what I do. Big fabric stores and specialty shops tend to be it. For payment processing I use WooCommerce on my own site, which I’ve been happy with. I also have an Etsy shop but try to get folks to buy from my direct shop because Etsy is terrible with fee gouging.

@travisfw You’re talking to it 😂. Social media posts are pretty much all I got. All me.

@travisfw Yep! It’s home brew or nothing 😁

Only been back on Facebook a few days and already sick of it. I don’t understand how anyone uses that disjointed mess. It’s like an algorithm got merged with a fly in a teleportation machine and now vomits digestive fluid directly into your frontal cortex.

I hate that I need it for my business. Thank you for not being that, Mastodon.

I adore but I’ve noticed a steep decline in what marketing types call “engagement” here. I think there’s been a real drop-off in active users.

No force in the universe will get me to go back to Musky Boy’s bird/Chan but I fear I’ll have to unfreeze the Facebook page for my business.

I hate corporate social media but my tiny business needs the eyeballs. Still feels like a defeat 😢

@SirLich True. No way I’m leaving Mastodon, I love it here. But gotta make some compromises to get by. You’re right, it’s exhausting.

As it seems the birdsite is pushing yet more folks away, time for another post!

Hi I'm Kevin, a by trade and maker of fun online media. I do builds, run my own shop(s) and love it here on . Small sample of my work.

folks, question: I’m thinking of making my email and associated services a bit more robust. had a good reputation a while back but I haven’t kept up with news. Any reason to avoid it? Good/bad experiences or business practices?

I know Linux people will have opinions. Let’s hear them 😁
