What's the deal with Photomatt? Well, it's kind of a long story Where it started So, my familiarity with Photomatt, or Matt Mullenweg was when he decided to buy out Tumblr from it's previous owners (Yahoo!) through Automattic. It was truly a breath of fresh air. Mostly because especially towards the end it was not being managed well, and for a while it was all pretty good. The one thing that irked…
Discord has been a thing of discourse in the few circles I’m for the past while. Mostly over the very pressing issues with regards to the recent general push towards online verification (in which you provide sensitive and potentially biometric data to providers or websites to prove you are who you say you are outside of the very common “give us your birthday so we know you’re not under 13”), and…
I’ve been thinkin a lot about making a proper carrd , and torn between that and using antipixel buttons. I suppose I could just throw my hands up and say “well why not both?” The reason why not both is because that gets tedious, but all the same getting a carrd website also feels tedious. Q: Well golly, why do you have so many websites? A: I dunno?!?!? I have a main and a sideblog on tumblr, which…
A thing that I’ve always wanted to do but I’m not nearly as courageous / have the time and effort for is my unnamed Ricgomori project that is kind of about my OC of the same name. I would want to do it as a multimedia webcomic thing with some out there art styles, but my own personal critic is ever the Granted a lot of this comes from a strange place of being deeply inspired by other projects. I…
I do think my one post a month speed so far is pretty good, and I think i'll keep it to that unless something else comes up that's compelling enough to make me post twice a month or more than that even. With the recent announcement of Okami 2, people brought it up as another big thing to wait for like Silksong and Half Life three. It made me really dwell on the kind of patience I have and how I…
Thought of the Day: Palworld, Nintendo, and Patent trolling - Thursday September 19th, 2024 A big thing going around on the few other social media websites i'm on today is how Nintendo / Game freak has announced a lawsuit against the Palworld developers over Palworld. not for copyright infringement but over Patent rights for Patents they filed for After Palworld's release. It's interesting but…
So, today is October 3rd, 2024. Cohost is in read only mode and will be up until the year’s end. I am a bit bummed out about the end of Cohost despite being a perpetual lurker. That being said, this is now my space for long-form thoughts and postings. It’s also rough because there’s lots of rough things going on in the world right now. Between Hurricane Helene and the destruction it’s wrought, the…
Hello world! This is me trying out having a blog. I can’t say I’ll be a frequent poster, but I’ll see if I can do maybe a couple of thoughtful posts every once in a while (Ideally at least a few times a month). I’m doing this because it seems to be the thing the people are doing these days for long-form thoughts on Cohost, and I kind of like this speed better than some of the other blogging…
