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.

I have Ruffle, a chrome extension installed, and on many sites flash content simply works and yes, newgrounds etc are still around. Newgrounds has it's own flash player even.
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.
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.
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.
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: https://portfolio.pixelfed.social/dansup
Collections: https://pixelfed.social/c/530360750719739665
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
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.

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?
Whoops, my single user instance with 150 gb of storage got filled up again. 🙃
Found this blog post for pruning data and it's helped.
