Kinda wild everything that's happened with Masto/Fedi in the last 18 months (when I came back "in full”)…

• Huge growth in DAU (because of the “X”odus)
• Tons of new Fedi web/mobile clients were born (e.g. Ivory, Mammoth, Ice Cubes. Phanpy, Trunks, Sora, Mona)
• Threads begins their journey into the Fediverse
• Nostr bridges to Fedi via Mostr
• Bluesky has been bridged to Fedi via BridgyFed

...and a lot more I unfortunately can't fit in the 500 characters vanilla Mastodon afford me (FIX THIS!)

This is absolutely psychotic. There are four iPads in the lineup as of now, but four Apple Pencils. Unbelievable.

So I just tried opting into #BridgyFed (https://brid.gy/mastodon/@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org).

I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.

Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!”

Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? That’s not apparent to me.

What I thought I wanted to turn my Mastodon timeline into: Content about tech, indieweb, news, etc…

What it is becoming instead: just #pixelart posts

It's better this way.

Did you know? Computers don't actually generate heat. Inside each CPU is a miniature portal to hell. That's where all the computations come from. The heat just comes from the ambient temperature of hell that emanates from that portal.

Mastodon ↔️ Bluesky (via Bridgy Fed)
Mastodon ↔️ Nostr (via Mostr)
Mastodon ⬅️ Threads (via Fediverse Beta)
Mastodon ⬅️ Twitter/X (via bird.makeup)

Mastodon (and other traditional Fediverse platforms) is the place to be.

Why do you care about getting followers? (If it's something else feel free to comment)

I signed up for Spoutible. I prefer things here but I think it’s good to have a presence in other places.

I wish I could know before clicking on a medium blog that is in fact a medium blog. Horrible reading experience

Last week, #TrumpMedia reported sales of just over $4 million in 2023 as net losses reached nearly $60 million for the full year ending Dec. 31. The company warned it "expects losses to continue amid greater profitability challenges."

If #MAGA stooges think earning $4 million on top of LOSING $60 million is a "great business," then there's little wonder why they intend to vote for #Trump.
It's because they are stupid.

Some reviews of the Humane AI Pin are coming out today. I can't understand how anyone could have had any hope that this thing would even be functional, much less "good”. It's literally a device with "AI” in the name of it which is a dead giveaway that it won't work. No way a wearable, backed by any version of modern “AI” (trying not to barf here) could possibly be taken seriously as a smartphone replacement. Someone please cast this device, and preferably all AI into a proverbial mount doom.

I love Bio Menace.

But maybe love is too mundane of a word to describe my feelings for it. I give rapturous adulation to Bio Menace with maximum amourousness.

This is a DOS game. It’s fly-by-your-seat action. Never have I wanted so much to be a one-man wrecking crew in a town teeming with alien mutants.

Another great Apogee title, and it’s completely free on GOG.com

Here is my #FediCircle

Fetched from https://data.natty.sh/fedi-circles/

There's also #MastodonCircle, from https://circle.grasserisen.de/

It is interesting to see the slight differences and I wonder how they work exactly
