for a lot of reasons, both personal and practical, i don't think i can effectively run a public mastodon instance any more, and i need to retire cybre.space. i want to do this responsibly and make sure everyone has a chance to migrate and export properly, so here is the plan for the instance retirement (feel free to share this link around): https://cybre.space/~chr/cybre-space-eol

due to ongoing moderation load issues and understaffing, between now and 1 november, the instance may be undermoderated. for other instances, if this poses an issue for you, i encourage you to use federation tools at your discretion. i would only ask that you be clear and public about your decisions so that cybre.space users can figure out where they will be able to migrate their accounts.

thank you

Finally someone who does #linkedin right.

everyone: lol the world is so weird and dumb why is there green goop and huge crushing things everywhere

me, a genius: the world is a masterclass of unfriendly design, the game is a dark as hell comedy where nothing makes sense and every new challenge you see has a newer, baffling reality to it, the world is crumbling around you and you feel like the only sane person even as you go insane, and this is communicated mostly through level design

I see a lot of people complaining about how "RSS readers went away." It's a bit baffling, because they didn't. You just stopped using them 🤷

This is the golden age for all those neural network based graphics generators, because the Internet is still relatively unpolluted with the computer-generated graphics, so they can trawl it to train their models. In a few years, when all those SEO sites switch from stock photo images to generated images, it will be much harder to find a photo of a horse with just one head.

time to order up a few hundred rolls of stickers

like, of the toxic water contaminants possible, arsenic is definitely among the most romantic. there is no mystique to fecal coliform bacteria

child, wondering where trash goes: well someone must have thought of a good solution for all this

adults: we put it into very large holes and then put dirt on top

child: even the plastic?

adults: especially the plastic

child: oh my god

The name "house spider" is a generic term for different spiders including Chiracanthium inclusum, Badumna Insignis, Steatoda grossa, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, among others, so named for their repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120 beats per minute. The species evolved due to selective pressure by Chicago's underground club culture in the late 1970s, as DJs began altering disco songs to give them a more mechanical beat.
