Writing up database wrappers for storing ActivityPub data.
Been really into this artist lately:

No sure what to call this genre but it's pretty funky and makes me want to play Broken Reality.
@anna_r_chy That's pretty good one. Seems to be taken already though. Generally the fewer characters the harder it is to get. :o

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:
"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect *them*.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.

@zkat Yeah it'd be cool if community blocklists had more nuance like "incidental transphobia by organization" vs "enabling individuals to do targeted transphobia" vs "federates with instance that has known transphobes on it" since this is nuance which might mean different things to different groups which I see tagged as just "transphobia" without elaboration in most cases.

Perhaps it was never about the money, it is about exerting the power, making others break, and inflicting pain.
As brilliant screenwriter, David Slack can make a simple image tell a clear story below.

@EtherNRhum Yeah, I'd love to! Feel free to DM me or email me at contact@mauve.moe :)
@izaya Me when I was in the park the other day with a head mounted display and my steam deck coding federated software and listening to squirrels fight.
@Are0h@ubiqueros.com Oh cool, that's what https://thebad.space/about is
Ty for working on this. :)
@Are0h@ubiqueros.com Are there community run blocklists that you're involved in? I'd love to hop on board to make some moderation easier.
Also really into the idea of auto-following blocklist updates in fedi software.
@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 #ar 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 #ottawa / #toronto / #ontario based #PixelFed instance for #artists and #makers
I think it'd be a great intro to different types of folks to the #Fediverse 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.
