After over a year’s work, we have finally launched a beta version of our new site… Check it out at https://gfsc.studio/ — you can see all of our lovely faces, explore a wide range of projects, learn about how you can support our work directly, and much more.
The paint is still (metaphorically) a bit wet — we know there are a few issues which need ironing out — if you spot any terribly broken things or howling errors, please do slide into our DMs or @ us on Discord.
being an anticapitalist in tech is constantly pointing out how the latest shiny new tech hyped up through venture capitalist billions and using more energy than a small country probably doesnt have your best interests at heart, and getting gaslit into accepting that it must be part of the future and you're just some weird luddite, until 1-3 years later everyone accepts its shit and starts agreeing with you by which time its too late
ok but this isn't embarrasing its actually incredibly based https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/what-happens-smash-jeff-koons-dog-art-2160472?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB
transphobia moan
i'm (kind of) used to the attacks from the right but the almost total indifference from the "all good people here" left feels just as bad
transphobia moan
you know it's been like, years now, of transphobia ramping up endlessly and it's only getting worse and it's just sort of wild how well meaning cis people just... done nothing
there's no calls to support trans business or campaigns outside the odd petition
there's no support for trans leadership
noone ever asks how they can help or how you're doing
litearally all i've see on the cis left is people politicising it for their own ends
its so gross and feels so helpless
@kim maybe 99% uptime could become cringe, like replying to work emails on a sunday
The White Pube #thewhitepube recently published a podcast episode titled "Instagram has ruined art" (https://thewhitepube.co.uk/podcasts/instagram-has-ruined-art/).
In it, they speak about their departure from #Wix for their website building/hosting towards a static site generator, as well as some results from a poll they ran about artists experience of using Instagram.
So good to hear about their excitement for #RSS, syndication and federation.
I've long had this joke about how these days artists use Instagram accounts instead of business cards - but I never went so far as to actually push this thought from "flippant comment" to "why are we all OK with this?"
Listening to this conversation - https://thewhitepube.co.uk/podcasts/instagram-has-ruined-art/- between The White Pube, @h and @kim set off about 500 lightbulbs in my brain, and made tangible why I like Mastodon so darned much.
So, seems as you're still reading this, please tell me about a good RSS reader for MacOS?
is there a follow friday kinda hashtag on here or anything? also think we maybe need to do that server linking thingy to see more replies, it's pretty quiet just having a handful of users
