I'm neutral on the whole RUS-UKR situation but I'm sick of all this Ukraine virtue signaling.

For a long time I described it as “imagine 10,000 Twitter clones that can talk to each other.” Which is basically what fedi is. However, that doesn’t really persuade on its own. People are more persuaded by who is on a platform than its features. Google learned this the hard way with Google+ which, at least as far as its features were concerned, objectively better than Facebook’s.

People want to go where they can deal with people they already know or for whatever reason care about. They don’t want to go on fedi or whatever else to meet new people. This is why people will get banned on Twitter a million times and just keep coming back: because all their e-buddies are already on it.

This psychology is very real, and the best way to beat it is a two-step process that almost nobody is going to do:

Become someone worth caring about, either by creating a cool work of art/fiction like a novel, video game, or movie or by becoming somehow newsworthy
Make fedi the best way to get in touch with you

Once they’re on fedi to get in touch with their favorite e-celebs, they’ll then, and only then, start making friends with everybody else. But until the day comes where fediverse users start actually creating reasons for the great outdoors to give a fuck about our opinions, nobody will.

whoa - actual sound chip, spring reverb, gorgeous design.. wow

"The NES-SY37 takes characteristic elements from the NES console and combines them with a Commodore SX-64 portable. Inside, you’ll find a polyphonic NES Poly Chiptune Synthesizer (Arcano), accompanied by a spring reverb and the hapiNES L (Twisted Electronics), a 4 voice multi-track chiptune synth inspired by the RP2A07 sound chip from the original Nintendo console.

The keyboard uses a NES 7pin port for connection and controls the polyphonic synth, but it also triggers a custom real-time MIDI visualizer, made in collaboration with artist p1xelfool. The 800×600 LCD can also be used for gaming, as the NES-SY37 accepts NES cartridges and a second 7pin port allows for Nintendo controllers."
