The mind rotting, infuriating miasma of social platforms
I know there’s a bit of disconnect by me writing this on an actual social platform, but it’s Beehaw - so it’s cool....

Howdy y’all! It’s already one week in to October. This is the first update post, so comment below with your progress, challenges, and next steps. See you all next week!
Howdy y’all! It’s October 1st, so make something month has begun. If you would like to participate, post below with what you are planning to do. There’s really no rules, you’ve just got to make something. Every week after this I’ll post a thread for weekly updates, and then on the last day of the month a final update...
things have been fairly quiet this week. not much to report.
Speaking as a creative who also has gotten paid for creative work, I’m a bit flustered at how brazenly people just wax poetic about the need for copyright law, especially when the creator or artist them selves are never really considered in the first place....
I need help with a vital fall conundrum: what to put on the potatoes I’m roasting. I’m bored of my go-tos and seeking new ideas for low-effort cookie sheet flavors. Dump all your favorite spices, spice combos, and potato opinions here.
not much to report, however i i have completed my reading goal for the year (35 books) with several months to spare thanks to The Red Corner: The Rise and Fall of Communism in Northeastern Montana
I’ll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊...
Note: This is only an attempt at such, so please let me know where it falls insufficient....
I mostly make videos of my family vacations and such as a hobby....
Howdy y’all! I’m hoping to run a make something month in October either here or in Creative. The idea is that a bunch of people all make something, doesn’t matter what, throughout the month. Each week I’ll make a post where we can share progress and discuss, and at the end of the month you can post your final creation(s)...
a bit of a late post today but i’ve been exceedingly busy working on some important stuff on the side and that’s taken up most of my time. things are going pretty good currently and are generally productive.
All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going...
Here’s an interesting question for you, one that many people have asked themselves, asked their parents, teachers, and even asked their Gods: what makes people do what they do? And a lot of people have answered that question with their own interpretations of human nature. I’m sure you’ve heard many of them before: people...
Think about it; instead of those in charge or the instances deciding who they don’t want to be federated with and thus restricting content for the users, it would be better if users were able to block entire instances instead....
we’re so back. anyways as you can tell by the other pinned post, we’ve been a little busy with a lot of stuff on the backend and that’s probably going to continue into the foreseeable future
At some point I was searching for an open source car pooling service. I realized there weren’t any so I started developing one on my free weekends....
Everywhere you browse, people have such strong opinions about everything and are so toxic or extremely negative. You start playing a game, want to check the forums or something and most of the posts are people being mean to each other. You open social media to keep in touch with people that you’d like to maintain a certain...
Anyone having issues with Jerboa on Beehaw today? Mine just opens and crashes. Did the clear cashe and storage thing. No effect. Have not tried reinstall.
When I first joined this community I saw it as a respite from reddit where I was free to chill with people without being constantly expected to debate or defend arguments or anything. Just a forum where people are nice....
I’ve recently been thinking a lot about self-destruction....
There is a lot of discussion happening in the background of our project here. We could not anticipate all of the challenges that we were going to face a few years ago. One of the reasons for this was because we had no idea what our choice of a platform would bring....
Hello....
Check it: colons are incredibly useful for introducing new ideas or adding emphasis. And the way people talk on the internet could use significantly more clarity: you can ramble and ramble, and just talk about whatever, expand on your point, really beat that dead horse, and then take a short break. But using colons allows you to...
A commune or a cult would be better than this circus lol
