Make your own glitchy images w/ audacity!

- Save to an uncompressed format (.bmp works great!)
- import into audacity as Raw Input w/ Encoding: U-Law and Byte Order; Big Endian
- Play with effects on all but the first quarter second or so (to avoid messing up headers)
- export to format "Other uncompressed files" and click options, set Header to RAW and encoding to U-Law. If you have issues, rename from .raw to .bmp!

Hello everyone I'd like to introduce the new @ambassador from https://a.weirder.earth

This is my attempt to fix the followbot problem. If you're an instance admin, you can install an ambassador bot on your instance.

The bot will boost the most popular toots from your instance. Someone can follow your ambassador to have your instance's best content added to their federated feed.

Feedback welcome, code here: github.com/mbilokonsky/ambassador

yay! Tusky works with octodon.social

don't know who to thank, but thanks

Creative artists, musicians, filmmakers, illustrators, game designers, etc., I have created a public google doc to help facilitate finding and following each other. Please add yourself to this if you'd like to network in these interests!

streaming intro to making mastodon apps 101 https://beam.pro/Xibanya

People may want to be free individuals, but they also want to shape the world around them, and feel part of that world. The urges to help and to belong are as strong as, if not stronger than the urges to gain, and be independent.

When people participate and share resources, they're not just being selfless, they're influencing their environment to how they want it to be, because participation is the easiest way to do that, not power. We all gain something from giving.
