A couple weeks back I decided to take a hiatus from Second Life. Mostly due to the fact that I’m frustrated that the community has mostly turned into a mass of hermits hiding on platforms who don’t talk to anyone anymore. And that’s really how it is in most online...

Remember back at the end of April when I wrote about the double-team of admins at the Fosstodon instance having themselves a little meltdown over having to come to public terms with on-boarding a neo nazi to their moderation team? Remember how they stomped their feet and declared they’d be...

So, nobody’s really “reporting” on this, and, for all intents and purposes, I’m not a reporter. Never-the-less, nobody’s really writing about this, either.

So, the past couple years have been pretty much just a non-stop horror show, as each platform and app you use goes head-first into slop factory hype, and integrates some needless AI feature that violates your consent. I personally feel we mostly have out-of-touch CEOs and investors to blame for...

This year has been pretty lukewarm, at least in my personal life. Only real big change was a shift-switch in my job. Everything else? Pretty much just sort of, stagnant, but not really in a negative light. Oh, and there’s me having an ongoing existential crisis over turning forty at...

I was tagged and/or challenged to answer some basic pointless questions as a blog challenge via ShellSharks, and before I pass out and sleep for my “friday” at work, I think I’ll go ahead and answer them! Especially since, I haven’t written here much due to the fact that a...
