I guess I get it finally. In my twenties I felt like I was a sixteen year old trapped in an older body. Now that I’m nearly 38, I feel like a 20 year old trapped in an older body. I wonder when I’l…

Updated my instance to 4.0.0rc2... broke things for a minute when the folder permissions didn't allow the precompile step to work. But it's all good now... phew...

Here’s a list of some of the things I’ve made for you. But first, internalize: People have been thinking too long that art is a privilege of the museums & the rich. Art is not busin…

instances and Discord servers are the future of social media. Humans aren’t mean to interact with thousands of people, in the history of mankind we’ve never been good with relationships at scale. #twittermigration (2/2)

Social relationships do not scale. I think that’s what we’ve learned in the last ten years of social media. Adding more people doesn’t make a community better, it dilutes it until it becomes mostly bickering. That’s why I think smaller, focused networks like Mastodon (1/2)

Okay, #introduction time! My name is Brad. I'm a self-taught software engineer who specializes professionally in backend #Python development, but for fun I build FOSS in #Swift and dabble in #gamedev. You can see stuff I've built over here: (1/2)

Mastodon most reminds me of the Finger protocol from back in the day. It’s basically federated finger!

Just for fun… my wife and I at a wedding this past weekend. Fun fact: I had to edit this photo to remove a fly that was going past my nose at this exact moment.

overall. I should probably write a blog post about it, as there were a few little “gotchas” along the way. (2/2)

So if anyone is curious, my Mastodon instance is running on a t3a.small EC2 Ubuntu instance; free tier RDS postgres instance for the database; S3 + Cloudfront for storage; SES for outgoing emails. It took a bit to get set up but I feel pretty good about it (1/2)

Well, now I just have to figure out how to find people to follow on Mastodon... who do I follow on Twitter that is now on Mastodon?

Moa: Mastodon/Twitter/Instagram Crossposter

Doesn't seem to be working, or maybe there is a significant delay...

Trying out moa.party to crosspost my toots to my twitter profile, though that does kind of defeat the purpose of making a mastodon server doesn't it?

Link your Mastodon account to Twitter and Instagram

There was a point in my life where I thought Teslas were cool and aspired to own one. I'm at a point now where I could easily buy a Tesla, but I definitely never will now. What a joke.

Just watched Barbarian. I really wasn’t prepared for the big twist ending, when you go on Google and find out it was directed by one of the Whitest Kids U Know guys. Sorry for the spoilers.

Under Zuckerberg, Instagram and Facebook have become products that use their users, tricking them into seeing content they don't want to see instead of the things they choose to, in a desperate attempt to juice revenues. It's going to get so much worse. ez.substack.com/p/mark-zuckerb

So far the greatest success of Stage Manager in Ventura is that it got me to start using Spaces properly.

HOW ARE TAB GROUPS IN SAFARI STILL THIS BUGGY? WHAT IS GOING ON AT APPLE? SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT THIS IS FRICKIN' RIDICULOUS. Such a good feature that is completely ruined by frustrating bugs around tab creation and movement.

They clearly knew they were using a stolen password to access the account. It’s just so weird I never got notified about it before then.

Recently discovered someone had been using one of my old gmail addresses as their personal account for years. It wasn’t until they changed the recovery email that I got notified. Got my account back and now this person is locked out of what they thought their email was. So weird.

Only took a little bit to get used to 40 FPS in Plague Tale Requiem. Gorgeous game. I hate stealth games though, but I am sticking with it because of how beautiful it is.

Quick Resume WOULD be this great if it actually worked with online connected games. Quick Resuming into Persona 5 and not being able to re-connect to the online stuff is very annoying.

Quick Resume is also one of the best features to ever be implemented in any video game system ever. This feature is revolutionary. To me, next-gen consoles are about more than next-gen games. I think the culmination of these features provides an overall next-gen experience.
