Hey all..

What's the best way to fund a service like #Bandwagon?

I strongly believe that the #Fediverse needs a sustainable funding model to be competitive with BlueSky, Xitter, and Facebook. More than just donations and mutual aid, people should be able to make careers on the Fediverse.

I'm reevaluating how I'll pay for bandwagon.fm in the long term. And I want to make something that's still "free forever"

Do you think there's a place for the #Freemium Fediverse?

Context: friend booted up Windows to play an anticheat protected game and this popped up

@djsumdog In the Alien movies the xenomorphs plant eggs in the stomach and then they hatch by popping out of the abdomen so I figured it was just a really kinky snack or smthn

@Mamako @djsumdog Worshipping a random dude on the internet just for being insane because you have no real relationships to fulfill your sad life is not heroism, how about YOU kill YOURself

i feel like it should probably be illegal for the president to pardon his son, but nobody is going to challenge it because they want trump to be able to pardon himself.

why the fuck don't we just have a monarchy at this point if our king just has a get out of jail card for anyone they want?

I like how these people live in a fantasy world where there is no recruitment and retention crisis.

Patriotism is supplied FREE if the nation is good to its people.

@PurpCat Ooh boy I've got a hoarder parent story.

I got a friend who's parents collect expired and unused electronics in the garage, and they constantly get mad at him for owning anything without their explicit permission because they want more space in his bedroom to shove their junk into his closet. Then they complain that they don't have any money and have to eat expired food... They live in a big rich house in a gated California community, have a ton of unused stuff and you pay for food you don't eat, routinely drink alcohol and quit both their jobs at EA, how is it the son's problem there's no money left? Roach infestations, black mold etc etc. The worst part is that this friend of mine genuinely believes his parents are being honest with him and that it's not that bad cause they give him fake affection like he's a five year old. I had to fight with his dad because he wouldn't allow me to ship him a new computer unless I ripped out the graphics card, then called me a predator. I feel sorry for the guy he's obviously got some sort of Stockholm syndrome.

I've been sick so progress has been slow, I ended up completely reworking the timers though for easier frame-rate independence. I'm also ditching the multithreaded setup but might come back to it. I'm queueing game ticks to process every frame based on time spent instead, not unlike most game engines anyway i.e. Source

Your new instance awaits sir.
