"Going thirty-eight Dan, chill the fuck out, mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down"

---

Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.

I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.

My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.

Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.

Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

I am confident that I had these settings disabled in Firefox.

Else they are new, and defaulted on.

I make sure I keep this kind of thing turned off.

Either way, I saw an advert - a sponsored site - in Firefox today, and found these settings enabled.

*sigh*

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply vm

The work of Japan’s Yoshitoshi Kanemaki is surreal. It truly messes with your brain. These kaleidoscopic emulations are especially mind blowing.

More of his work:

Apparently Microsoft don’t understand how the Fediverse works, and want me to delete the parody account @microsoft 🀣🫑

A furtive glance at the seedy underbelly of photo competitions, digital artwork and the very real dangers of letting go of reality.

Yesterday, I posted a photo taken at 06:30 of a very orange sunrise. 15 minutes earlier it was considerably more red. (This one was taken from a drone over Upper Loch Torridon).

i love living in the future, in which i have to hold my web browser very gingerly so it doesn't replace the thing i'm reading with the carbon farts of a stochastic white supremacy machine https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/shake-to-summarize/

Here's an image of an orchid I just took to remind you that if you get value from the fediverse to support your local instance if you are able and they accept donations. Thank you. blobheartcat

i think the best way to gauge if a platform is decentralized is to say β€œif i got banned by the biggest server, would this hinder my ability of communicating with the people i care to a reasonable degree?”
