@jonbeckett@mastodon.online Check out brands.town if you want a good chuckle.

@jackdaw_ruiz@mastodon.social I've read this *everywhere*

Spaceballs, Twitter 

@yuki2501 Keep firing, assholes

Man, Brands.town is the kind of subtlety we need more of.

@sarahchurchwell Nobody has managed to turn into a potato tho.

I'd boost that.

@farhan I could have avoided all of this with packages but ports have been my habit for ages and so here we are.

New Mastodon Instance, Culture Jamming 

The main reason I'm doing this, beyond a really funny suggestion by @dustin sparking my imagination, is that in a time of major shifts in the size and norms of the fediverse, doubling down on weird and not taking ourselves too seriously is the best thing we can do.

Fuck corporatization, fuck mainstream social networks, fuck capitalism, and fuck brands. Fuck influencers and advertising and analytics. Fuck turning all of your hobbies and passions into secondary outlets when you just wanted to enjoy something. Fuck real estate development. Fuck billionaires and fuck people trying to pass laws trying to take away your rights. Fuck all of it.

Let's just have fun instead. Let's cause confusion and mayhem and maybe even trick Wendy's into thinking Brands Social into thinking that's just where all the brands go.

LLVM is an absolutely insanely long compile on modest hardware. It's probably 80% of most compiler runs in terns of time.

I got a weird corruption issue on my VPS, quite tricky to sort out. Basically I want to do another instance and was getting it ready and of course it's taken all morning just to get it updated and stabilised.

One thing I like about is that on the occasion you really make a mess between the excellent docs and the community there's nearly always an answer.
