Not sure if you were angling for this response or used a voice transcription service, but it’s *seizing, not ceasing, btw
Unrelated: sometimes I’ve had confusing chats over fb marketplace trying to gauge the other person’s tone/sanity, but found their texts were just off because they let voice-transcription take the wheel.
More of my brain cells are left intact scrolling the fedi vs scrolling tiktok
The next update I have pending for Synology Office needs me to agree to AI use on my server. No thanks.
Sounds right, tbh. Source?
Somebody remind me what movie this was. I faintly recall that it was short, but awesome

Someone breaks down why it’d be a monumental task for Valve/Itch to vertically integrate the whole payment processing thing into their business. The essay is highly readable.
The only thing I had to look up was
Escrow: a financial arrangement w/ a third party who holds/manages funds on behalf of two parties in a transaction
My takeaway was that Valve/itch/GOG would still be beholden to the banks who track porn as high risk for fraudulent transactions.
So what can we do about it? ~asking in earnest, btw. I buy porn and toys like a regular ass person, too~
Yes.
Whatchu gonna do about it?
~(not asking specifically you, bridge, just didn’t want to leave the thread at a circle jerk)~
For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn’t lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might’ve gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.
There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.
I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.
Someone correct me if I’m remembering it wrong.
RIP 2011 Tumblr

Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I’m antsy, and there’s no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u
I didn’t get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but… Should I actually submit another? :x
Edit: think I saw the fdroid app & submitted my registration form there, mentioning in case it’s relevant
Thank you for this! I’m not sure how I would’ve found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol
Mudborne: a frog themed frog-breeding simulator with some frog-breed puzzling to open up paths between islands/dimensions (very extra chill)
Apico: haven’t played it yet, but it’s made by the same devs & revolves about beekeeping
Does the laptop have any Fn key perhaps? In case all your F keys are set to media keys.
Mods should just redirect them to [email protected]

This mistake makes sense to make as a mistake. But also, that’s fuckin asinine
