A lot to unpack in this post, but I'll try to be concise.
If you are seeing this on Facebook, note that everything is a crosspost from Instagram.
Ive noticed a lot of friends bouncing to Bluesky. Bluesky is hardly an alternative, it's just the same thing, the same tired, centralized, curated algorithm, in a new package. The first image in the carousel is a simple map of the Fediverse. Mastodon is one of the platforms there. You can choose an instance that suits you, or one local, while still associating with those outside your instance. My personal profile is on kolektiva.social, which is niche to my specific political view, but given that I don't care about online validation, when I am a human and live life offline, I'm still not concerned with returning to personal social media use. I'll get around to finding a pod to host the distro on, but it will also remain on the META platform as it is a necessary evil.
Next up, Firefox. Now, I have been using Mozilla products pretty much since day one. When Google came out with Gmail, it was invite only, and I joined, then they came out with Chrome, and I started using that, now they control almost every aspect of our digital lives outside of the METAverse. That's going to be changing, I'm going to go back to my roots. Mozilla is very security and privacy driven, and you are not the product to be confronted with a barrage of advertisements due to an algorithm that can seem to be able to read your thoughts.
Next, I've mentioned Subvert. It is still in the works, but it is slated to be the cooperatively owned alternative to Bandcamp, because fk Bandcamp.
The 4th image is self explanatory, even if this is your first visit to the Spite Records page.
The 5th is pretty much me. There's a reason for the things that I have on.
6th, I'm gonna try out a new mailer this week, and see how I feel about it.
Not pictured is the fact that we do have some titles coming in. There's only one other title coming in with the Judge shipment this week, because it was requested. There will be a few others in the coming weeks.
Anyway, that's all for now. I have an hour to get another 2,200 xp on Duolingo, so I can finish in 1st again.
