Jesus Christ, you guys. My life would be so much easier if I realized that no one really gives a fuck what I do.

Progress on my new #gameassets! Worked on farming stuff, terrain, details, items, UI and more. It's going to be a big one, and it'll be very free. Planning to support this pack for long, adding updates along the way.

Dutch Government officially launches #Mastodon server

https://fediversereport.com/dutch-government-officially-launches-mastodon-server/

In case you missed it, all links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters the link really is.

So, you don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon as they won't actually affect the link's length.

Mastodon does this because it's better for everyone's privacy to avoid link shortener services, it means people can see what they're clicking on, and the link won't stop working if the shortener service shuts down.

$TSLA come get your CEO.

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

#DataPrivacy #Meta #ThreadsApp

Comparing and contrasting app privacy policies for Threads, Bluesky, Twitter and Mastodon:

✨ Better onboarding

Pretty soon you'll be able to sign up with your Mastodon account, or use it to sign in on @pixelfed

Calckey and other platforms will launch later!

Jolt now has official support for 2D simulations! https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics

I’m loving th Fediverse 🥰

You’re all beautiful and appreciated

the ig friends were never meant to see nor do they understand the dumpster fire that is text based posts

Human beings were never meant to be on a single social media platform for life. Archaeological evidence tells us our earliest ancestors hopped from platform to platform, following the migrations of the influencer herds, moving on when the soil was too depleted to grow new discourse

How to be An Genius:

1. Pay $44bn for a site worth 1/2 that
2. Sack everyone who knows how it works
3. Release far-right troll army
4. Turn genuine validation into a badge of idiocy
5. Kill most of your ad revenue
6. Inflate API price to recoup money
7. Everyone stops using API and scrapes site instead
8. Massively limit the service to end scraping
9. Service is now unusable
10. Remaining advertising value destroyed
11. Kill a cornerstone of the internet
12. Lose $44bn

Twitter refugees coming onto Mastodon to ask for a #BlueSky invite.

Sure, sure, let me get you back to the guy who dicked you over. (#Jack)

@ everyone who went back to twitter

“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.
