A listing of all long-form posts published to-date. Herein, you'll find my thoughts on concepts, ideas, politics, and more. The Dead Internet Comes to LifeWe’ve all recently come to the conclusion that billionaires and CEOs don’t really care what you think of them, or what they do. And Mark Zuckerberg continues to provide glaring examples of why that’s true. From his sanitized Second Life clone, Horizons, to the present day, with AI generated social...

The Bechdel Test, and Why It's TaintedA long time ago, in an age far, far away … Ten years ago, to be exact. And, keeping within the theme of traveling back in time to the world of Tumblr fandoms and Gamergate, it’s time we switched gears to the once growing “trans exclusionary radical feminist” movement, and...

Intergalactic, the Latest Game to Be GamergatedSome people weren’t around for what happened in 2014, and the “initialization” of “gamergate” that would, seemingly, never go away (see this link for more information). But I was there (and this is why I say that Twitter was never actually good), and I remember what the discourse and shitposting...

New, Full Search FunctionA while back I had a real shoddy, and not-so-well integrated search function on my website. It kinda sucked. The text bled off of the page, there was no pagination, and the result querying was live, which also didn’t look good. I’ve been working on a lot of things on...

Essential WorkersI happen to visit corporate social media on a regular basis, as I’m trying to build multiple platforms, because I’d like to traditionally publish a book, if I’m lucky enough, in a one out of a million chances I have at doing so. Either way, corporate social media (Threads) has...

Linux and Mac, in Tandem?I’m a real big into Linux kinda person. So much so, trolls have had a laugh at my expense because of it, because, as we all know, Windows is totally superior, with its built-in ads, built-in AI, built-in (or soon to be) digital snoop, built-in forcing you to use Edge...

Bluesky: Still Not Very GoodI didn’t post about this when it happened, because, honestly, I’m unsure how much attention I want to give toxic people, and, after so many years of this being routine from people with Main Character Syndrome (see: narcissism) on social media, it’s tiring. But, Bluesky was an unwelcoming hellscape when...

The Issue of Being a Slow WriterYou might be thinking, “Slow writer? You’ve written like 800 babillion things on this website!” And while that may be true, I’ve also got three books on the burner I’ve started and never finished. My next and upcoming book, Dissolution Protocol, especially. Having just read over everything I’ve written for...

Python, Swap Out Reddit for Lemmy!As some may know, back when the Reddit devs/CEO decided to follow Musk’s decision-making like a lost puppy dog, they restricted their API and killed a ton of third-party apps. This was seen as a very bad move, and it sucked tons of butt. In response to this move, some...
