They keep raising the monthly subscription cost to Being Alive and it's bullshit.

@rgegriff upgrade to premium ultra existence for an extra $299 and we’ll throw in some clean air.

@rgegriff Outside really needs to rebalance the economy with the next patch.
VOLTUR (with the good hair)

@rgegriff as an old DevSecOps infrastructure engineer, I can confirm. The SCM team would always pop over and be like "hey we have an issue with our build pipeline. can you help?" and then they'd put some form of picture in front of me.

lofi girl is down due to nonsense copyright claims; at this point I think so many people listen to these streams at work and school that they are pretty much critical infrastructure.

They should really consider self-hosting their infrastructure; at least as a backup

@rgegriff ugh I figured that would happen... the fun ruiners showed up

@rgegriff deleted my previous response since I realized their entire revenue model (with some minor additional ones like vinyl/merch/bandcamp sales) is streaming music. They'd much rather you listen to it on Spotify or YouTube than an icecast.

@rgegriff so thats why Lofi Girl showed up on NewPipe with two videos each about 868 days long :blobwoah: the videos don't work, tho.

#FediTips "clout" isn't really a thing here, and that's not a bad thing! If you are coming from a commercial social media site where you think about things like "my personal brand" and "building my audiance" I think you might end up having a bad time.

There are a lot of systemic and cultural aversions to that here. What I hope you end up doing instead is to just, you know, make friends. Find your group of mutuals you like hanging out with.

It's totally cool to share what you are working on and your thoughts on things; but if you come on here trying to be an influencer or thought leader or your primary goal is to sell something or whatever... oof, it's going to be a very bad experience; and I genuinely wish everyone to avoid that.

@rgegriff Clout is definitely a thing, there are users with thousands of followers or who are on good terms with Important People & what they say counts for more because of that. People also get away with saying shit because of their social ties on here. & there are people who are quite explicitly/openly on here to advance their careers (as well as those for whom it's presumably an ulterior motive)

If you/others have been able to steer clear of that stuff that's great but if you just haven't noticed it you could learn a lot talk to anyone who's vocal about anti-oppression on here

@rgegriff Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Please, I just want to interact with real people being real people. I don't want to talk to internet personas invented to sell stuff or ideas even =P

@rgegriff what systemic aversions are there? The culture will change as time passes, especially if more people join.
