I write code for fun, and for profit. Also working on something (not so) exciting for the Fediverse. I also post here: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee

I built Drop the same way. AI helped me ship fast but I had to think through the core idea first. shows real-time foot traffic at bars, restaurants, airports, tons of places. Free on iOS.

I actually like algorithmic feeds (that I can control) but Mastodon is culturally opposed to them.

Tried building on Mastodon, wasn't financially viable.

There's extremely little will to pay people for work in the fediverse, and Mastodon couldn't even give credit to contributors to help them raise their own profile.

The only Fediverse orgs that have paid me are IFTAS and Nivenly.

Looking at Ghost’s recommendation format and webmentions, feels like something that @standard.site could support?

I wrote up some ideas in @lexicon.community discourse.atprotocol.community/t/ghost-uses...

Well, math terminology being what it is, something like this was bound to happen eventually.

social media would be so much better if we decide to just ignore idiots instead of giving them attention through quote dunks

It will not dunk, dunking is the mind killer.

The little-death that brings total main character syndrome.

You shall permit the quote post to pass over you and through you, and when it has gone past, only your pristine timeline shall remain.

Quote dunks are a moral rot. Do not engage. You are better than this. Touch a kitty cat tinystyle. Get smiled up.

Cut both strips open along the middle circle. The picture shows what this looks like when you cut the first strip open.

If you have chosen the orientations of the MΓΆbius strip correctly, then the result will look like two interlinked paper hearts, which are shown in the picture.

A very thoughtful startup founder told me the other day that he remains on X because it's "LinkedIn for my industry." It's how he found his seed funding, it's where all the connections he needs to continue operating are.

Everyone who feels their living depends on X remains there.

two wolves meme, but "wolves" replaced with "moderators"

left wolf:
ban first, ask questions later.
believe that people are what they post.
you fucked up, stop whining and feel lucky that your second chance is the whole rest of the fucking internet.

right wolf:
everyone has a bad day sometimes.
