    My artistic vision is still something I’m working on… I’ll get there eventually. I have tried painting, I’m just… Not confident in my ability to accurately depict anything other than scribbles.

    For now, have a picture:

    Blue tree

    My brother informed me it is purple.


  • Not sure that’s right.

    Mind you, I fully agree with you on Bluesky, but I think Threads really isn’t much different.

    For example, say this integration is fully accomplished. Fediverse users wouldn’t have a real reason to switch to Threads, but because Threads is a much larger platform all future users are gonna go there, and not to the rest of the Fediverse. That, already, I think is an issue. Then, because it’s a bigger platform, most communities are gonna start to be populated mostly by Threads users - simply because numbers rule. The 2nd E comes into play: extend. The protocols are extended. At first, it might not be enough to switch - just some quality of life changes, maybe - but the more stuff is added, the more the experience for the Threads users - aka, the majority of the users on any given community on the Fediverse - starts to diverge from the rest of the users. Now, at this point, a Fediverse user has two choices: either ignore this, or switch. Sure, many will just ignore it - the people on the Fediverse right now are the kind of people that would tend to ignore that, anyway - but plenty won’t, because it’s SOCIAL media. SOCIAL! If your experience differs significantly from your peers, that will bother you, and you will want to change, especially if you’re in the crushing minority.

    Embrace, extend, extinguish.

    Hey, maybe I’m wrong! Hopefully, even. However, I do see it happening. Hope I got my point across.














  • I really liked this movie. I’ve watched it at least twice, since I ended up wanting to revisit it as an adult after having watched it as a child.

    I think the cast of characters is really funny and interesting; I love how Hiccup developed as a character - gaining confidence as he became more comfortable around Toothless - and how the other characters recognized that he changed and accepted him.

    The soundtrack is also really good, especially that one song that plays when Hiccup flies for the first time - it’s called Test Drive.










  • Well, that’s a complicated question.

    On one hand, I do already hang-out with myself basically all the time. I talk to myself a lot and I’m my own wall to throw stuff at.

    On the other hand, I’m also very antisocial. I would definitely not enjoy spending this time that I spend with myself with another, physical person.

    So, that.
