 @corbin Congrats on having the one and only John Mastodon stop by your home! (You did a nice job with the photo) I have to say that my attitude changed from kinda forgiving that people still post to Twitter to "are they nuts?" no kinda of attention, regardless whether they perceive that as conversation between 'friends' or just as 'moar clicks' is worth keeping that shithole alive  @rotnroll666 I selfishly wanted to keep an archive of my history there, and 4000+ followers "just in case", so I kept the account for a long time without posting anything new. I finally admitted there had already been no actual benefit to that strategy in the last 2 years, and deleted the account a bit over a month ago.  Also these days ordering new cars from Tesla?! What the flip? Some local acquaintances did this and I am still not over it. No, I don't expect anyone to burn their car or something, but buying new? As if there aren't good alternatives in 2024. Spotify, shit as it is, is just one of many streaming music providers. There are no switching costs, and you can choose between a ton of providers. That's why Spotify doesn't need to be regulated under the DMA. I swear to god people are allergic to basic facts and reality these days.

@thomholwerda the best replacement for Spotify doesn't exist yet.
One of the many aspects to the project I am working on. Replacing Spotify with an organization that pays it's artists.  Surprised to see that Yandex has enough subscribers to show up on a worldwide chart  He has been freed, and oh my god, he's incredible, I love him. Sidenote, the company that shipped it was reusing old Amazon boxes, which is super cool and sustainable- even if it did confuse me for a moment lol

 The most scrupulous devs will be on 0.0.100, and the most prideful being on version 100.0.0 - perhaps both with comparable quality to their products. 😆  Yay! My #Plushtodon from #Mastodon was delivered today! I was not expecting it until after #Christmas 🎄, but I am glad that @Mastodon was able to expedite deliveries for those of us in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸. Thanks @Gargron! Hmm…now I need to figure out what to name it‽ Mister Masto‽ Super Masto‽ Nasty Masty‽ 😂 I will not use the latter, lest folks think I won this from a Dirty Santa 🎅🏾 game! 🤣🤪

  @Gargron Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, and a wonderful New Year! Hopefully, she doesn't destroy everything in the house before the next year is over. (Don't ask. It's traumatic.) The #Mastodon stuffed toy is now available in the United States! This is a limited run of 500. Check out the #Plushtodon hashtag for more pictures!

 @Mastodon if this goes to funding mastodon I’d consider buying one. If it’s purely extra income I’m not sure its worth the price  @Mastodon Ordered my #plushtodon on 12/19/2024. Topped off my order w/a donation of $8.06 for a total cost of $60. Delivery ETA via USPS is 12/24 so probably won't actually get it til 12/26 but that's fine.  @Mastodon ordered! I’ve been following the #plushtodon hashtag diligently for a while to catch the US availability, and yet still missed it until today 😅🐘 My middle’s cat Percy airing out the manly bits in front of the vent. Alternatively: “Draw me like one of your French girls.”    Happy winter solstice. Here's four on medium format from summer solstice. #Photography #FilmPhotography #Film #MediumFormat #BelieveInFilm #Kodak #Scotland #Solstice #Landscape     Getting an expert opinion on my thesis’s Mastodon section.  Masty the Mastodon has arrived! I'm so excited to finally have this. #Plushtodon #Mastodon #Mascot #Plushie #Toy #StuffedAnimal #StuffedToy  If it was not clear before, then it is now. Every single well-meaning post on that hate speech platform is direct support to the extreme right in several European countries. No public institution should be posting there.  I have not researched Blu-rays enough before buying my first one. You can't even play one on Windows by default, and VLC and MPC both require following arcane instructions from user forums to make it work. That's the last time I bother. DVDs were the superior format.
