@dym Oh!! I didn't know .ink was even an option.

K, ty for the brainstorm, I'll run these by some artsy folks in meatspace to get their reactions. :P

@dym postaboot.art is pretty cheap too and kinda describes what folks would do on there. I feel like aboot.ca misses the art aspect.

abootart.ca is cool too?

Neat! I love how we're getting a new class of mobile devices with these glasses based things like the XReal Beam.

I'm excited to be able to get a lil compute puck that I can run Linux + @stardustxr on as my primary device.

@dym @thisismissem Nice. 180 dollars to sign up though so I'll need to think if I wanna spend that much on a domain. :P

Maybe something-aboot.art or aboot-something.art?

talkaboot.art is an order of magnitude cheaper. 🤔

@thisismissem Oh yeah! That's a great idea actually. I think having some very "canadian" sounding words could be fun.

From my experience most other Canadians I know are pretty chill with the stereotypes they're assigned. :P

I feel like "beaver" would be a good one but the connotations with genitalia would be a problem. 😅

Hey folks, I'm thinking of starting a / / based instance for and

I think it'd be a great intro to different types of folks to the that aren't necessarily into the twitter-style on mastodon.

Any thoughts for names? I'm thinking of some sort of `.art` or `.ca` domain.

gender, non-binary identity woes 

Kinda excited for the day I'll get to hang out in spaces where it/its pronouns are taken seriously instead of with eye boggling.

I think I only have like one person in my life that consistently uses them and it also uses it/its pronouns. It's like how when I came out as a they/them I had to start constantly proving myself, but now it's even with other queer people. 😅

I can see how it'd be hard given how novel it'd be for most folks to encounter though.

Oopsie, looks like my server filled up overnight and now I need to do more clearning. :x

Looks like I'll want to do a more aggressive purge of old attachments. Maybe I should really upgrade to 4+ so I can use the `tootctl accounts prune` API.

Also I think this speaks to there being merit in caching more stuff client side and using content addressing + p2p instead of large central caches.

@nf lmao yeah. The default rental form 410 even encourages applicants to give their SIN even though it's marked as optional it seems kinda dangerous to set that precedent

I see people question @pixelfed over @Mastodon, and that's fine (I ❤️ Mastodon, sent from Mastodon)

However I think it's important to note that Pixelfed has Stories, Collections, Portfolios and much more!

You can post pics on Twitter, but Flickr, 500px and Instagram still thrive!

Portfolios: portfolio.pixelfed.social/dans

Collections: pixelfed.social/c/530360750719

Use whatever best fits you, and know that @pixelfed + @Mastodon work great together ✨

Buh, house hunting is stressful. You gotta give them a bunch of your personal information and finances and then sit there twiddling your thumbs seeing if you actually get it.

Really hope I get accepted for some of these! Really excited to have a proper washer/dryer in my unit so laundry can be less of a pain. :P

@eater Yeah! Know of any nice graphical tools on top of that by any chance?

I wish my terminal was more like browser dev tools so I could see what files were being accessed and what network requests or syscalls were happening + ways of intercepting and modifying these things.

also! Hot take but the js console is easier to use than bash. 😅

not to sound like a huge communist but I don’t think millions of us should have to die hungry and in debt so a couple dudes with really really really big boats can have really really really really big boats

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

#meta

so far it has been removing files not linked to any posts and boy howdy there is a lot of them.

honestly where did these files even come from?
