I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

  • But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

  • I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

  • It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

  • Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

Today, for the first time ever, I had a look at my webserver's logs. I wanted to check if the rules I set on the .htaccess file to block this huge amount of bots and crawlers were correctly working... I'm not an expert for that part, I just mess around copying and pasting.

I was surprised by the fact that the vast majority of the requests I get to my website are coming from the Fediverse even before I implemented the bots blockade. I love seeing this variety of requests by hundreds of Mastodon (and other AP implementations) instances, followed by a number of RSS feedreaders and podcast players.

I'm really loving how things are going in my social-digital life.

Dear #linuxmusician (s) and #linuxaudio users.

PD: I will put the website up soon to gather community input on the content.

#3GoodThings

1. I finally figured out how to combine my 2 mastodon accounts. It wasn't that hard and I can't believe it took me so long to do it! Forgive me for the double posts and thank you for putting up with them.

2. I wrote 2 pages of a #Poe essay that's due in a few months. If you haven't read Angela Carter's essay, "The Cabinet of Edgar Allan Poe," I highly recommend it.

3. I have a new #website that is just beautiful. professorcindy.com/

Happy (and a little proud) that my new website based on @getkirby is online as of this afternoon. Its main sections are
- Portfolio
- Albums (Galleries / Projects)
- Singles (~daily posts)
- Gear
- About / Contact

Will migrate more content from my previous site during the coming weeks. 🙇‍♂️

"In an age of information overload & an increasingly commercialized web, #artists of all types are the people to help. Artists can think expansively about what a #website can be. Each #artist should create their own space on the web, for a website is an individual act of collective ambition." — Laurel Schwulst

Hi. I'm terrified.

I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.

But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there

So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/

It's not great. But it's okay...enough

And I hope it means something to someone
