My username was inspired by Randal Monroe’s write up on the xkcd name. I wont go any further into explaining it, because it’s a bit of a puzzle. My name however, was chosen because it’s meaningless. It represents only me. Same with the pic I’m using. It’s a render of a drawing I did with pencil and paper. I’m the only one with the master copy, and the only one who can create true derivatives.
I love this idea. I currently don’t make anything, but I’ve had an idea for Peertube but to be honest, I’m a bit nervous to try it. I’d love feedback. https://mastodon.technology/web/statuses/104248472206084215
Also, just so you guys know, this guy creates original content on Peertube as well. He’s definitely worth checking out. -> https://mastodon.sdf.org/@art
Haha honestly, that’s a great idea and I was definitely considering it over the past few days. I appreciate your patience, just know that I’m trying my best. When I wrote the sidebar, I deliberately tried to keep it broad and open. It’s my belief that good moderation is minimalistic moderation. Do the least, but do it excellently and only do things that are good for everyone.

This is a big deal. I recommend checking xda-developers to see if there’s a flash method for your affected device. If not, I’d hold off on updating and not using bluetooth, because this could be used as a flash method for libre systems like PostmarketOS. If a flash method already exists, this is a m…

Hey everyone. I have some difficulty keeping myself on track overall, due to feeling lethargic more often than not. To help, I sometimes browse Reddit in the hopes that I’ll find something that’ll inspire me to get moving, but I’m a big believer in libre culture, and as such I don’t believe that Red…
"Maybe these persona bots will be controlled by foreign actors. Maybe it’ll be domestic political groups. Maybe it’ll be the candidates themselves. Most likely, it’ll be everybody.

"But a library gives old news a new life, not a commercial life, but a life that encourages reflection, perspective, critique, analysis. In a word– “History”.
