hm, in retrospect, 2016 ended my relationship with (new) Apple. I treated myself to a new lower-end laptop that year and the keyboard was so bad that it felt like entirely wasted money (+ having only a single usb-c port made it useless with other devices)

and THEN they announced they'd be removing headphone jacks from their phones and I didn't update my phone for 6 years after. My new phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but it's also not an Apple

I meant to be finishing a post about books I'm reading but I got distracted and wrote ~2500 words about Mastodon and Bluesky and the related things (welcoming design, insular culture) I've been stewing on for a few months

And also about vegetarian meat substitutes in the 1980s, which were *really something*

The German language is actually quite veggie:

Da haben wir den Salat (There we have the salad) = What a mess!

Gurkentruppe (cucumber troop) = bad team

Tomaten auf den Augen (tomatoes on the eyes) = blinded

Bohnenstange (bean stick) = tall person

Spargel (asparagus) = thin person

Erbsenzähler (pea counter) = nitpicker

Interessiert mich nicht die Bohne (I'm not interested a bean)= I don't care at all

wie Kraut und Rüben (like cabbage and turnips) = messy

Enjoy our langveg!

• A video of the painting process of this: An octopus on the bottom of a small hotel room table. The base color is black, using BLK3.0 paint from CultureHustle: the blackest paint on earth. The octopus’s tentacles flair out & upwards, waving & intertwining as if the octopus were slowly drifting downwards. The octopus’s suckers are blue, & the body is covered in bright green spots, which are ringed by bright yellow spots, & then the spaces between are filled with bright orange spots. One purple eye gazes out from a dark socket, as the octopus is leftward-facing. (remote)

@NfNitLoop nothing *specifically* stupid, just the sheer amount of takes on what it is, who runs it, how people there are mean to Fediverse, how Fediverse is lacking compared to that, how… etc. And some of these opinions are pretty smart, I don't deny it. But I find the whole #bluesky to be largely inconsequential, because it's yet another centralized network which is only interesting because it's small enough, and it's going to go through all the ways all these systems go to collapse.

@isagalaev I guess I've missed it. What sort of stupidity are people displaying?

just an update, twitter bots still posting away just fine on api credentials that were supposed to have been turned off

The recent obsession with #bluesky is the stupidest thing on the Fediverse I ever saw, literally. So I created my first actual filter on Mastodon since I started using it in 2017.

• Video shows a nearly transparent, gelatinous octopus with visible internal organs, floating in the dark blue depths of the ocean, sporting eight long tentacles connected by a thin, transparent webbing covered with numerous yellow flecks.

• An egret standing in what looks like a mud-colored lake with a golden sky walking into a clear blue lake with blue sky. There is a perfect line dividing the image's blue side from it's gold side as if it were two photos stitched together. That it's one photo seems almost impossible but the article confirms it's untouched. (remote)

• Black and white photo of a group of five cats walking in a group toward the camera. The photo is taken at ground level, making the cats seem larger and giving a cat's-eye view. The central figure is a very large black that seems serious and imposing, whereas the rest of the gang is smaller tabbies and a petite grey cat. It's very effective, like a still from a dramatic slow motion shot of gangsters in a movie making it both serious and funny. (remote)
