I’m done with the “smallening” for now.

I thought it’d be interesting to remake an older pixelart, that was way too “inspired” by Difros (https://difro.carrd.co/) work, to match with one of my friends profile picture at the time drawn by Difro.

Now I wanted to return to it and try making all the changes I regretted not making back than and in general make it more than a somewhat edited copy of someone elses work.

*They still look somewhat similar, because some changes were already made in the first edit from 2021. It was never just a re-color of someone elses art.

The original:

The new one:

Not to brag too much, but I’m the local expert of “technical minimalism”. There’s rarely ever more than 5 e-mails in my inbox. Onece I read it, in the bin it goes!

Whenever SW goes unused for too long, it gets uninstalled and I manually hunt down and delete all the cache and trash files it still left on my precious SSD.

I always make sure to uninstall all pre-installed junk from any device. I browse in incognito, to not waste my memory with cookies, history files and browsery junk.

What little junk spills through I run over using the Ashampoo WinOptimizer, that itself I optimize to ensure the most optimal optimizing.

All canines drawn reside in the cloud, I don’t even have them all backed up locally, but I always use 5+ cloud/FTP services, just to be absolutely sure they’re safe.

Yes, my “technical minimalism” might be getting slightly out of hand. 🤪

Is there still no way to get build 63 of Goryon on Android? Currently there’s still only apk files for build 61 on the Gitea and I think the app is still not available on Google Play.

Also the url https://yarn.social/app still mentioned on a few places (like the Gitea) now gives a 404 error when accessed.

By popular demand, I made him even smaller. 😄

Canvas: 8 x 8 Pixels: 38

@prologic@twtxt.net My lack of free time aside, these aren’t exactly issues, but rather differences in opinions and adding setting to allow users the choice between these preferences is probably beyond the scope of their project.

I’m busy playing pixel wars lately, so not much posting or new art to post here. Still there is at least one new things those pixel wars brought me, the answer to the question “how small can the dog get?”.

The answer to this question turned out to be 48 pixels (on a 9x9 canvas).

Tried making an even more low-rez version of the current profile picture. Probably too low-rez to be used, but wanted to share it anyway.

Kinda busy lately, but here’s a header/banner thing I made for Mastodon. Also feel free to insert a joke about how retiring the mobile app, in favor of a PWA that’s still “early in development” at best, might have not been the best idea here. 😏 But than again, who am I to call that out, when I have no time for similar projects now myself.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Any chance you could print my profile picture on a piece of paper and try measuring it with the device? I already had my art judged by a few AIs on the Internet, but never had it tested for life force energy before. 🙃

Drawn yesterday or the day before, but I forgot to post it here, so here it the new doggo. 😄

Just a reminder that I still exist, along with some pixelart I drew today.

Time to contribute to the picture-posting. By @DoneDragon1 from Discord

Funny that @prologic@twtxt.net and Twtxt.txt is the exact thing, the previous CEO now claims he always wanted Twitter to be.

This version of me, was made exclusively for the https://fedi.place/ experiment, similar to r/Place. 😁 Sadly it ended already, so there was no time to ad a Yarn ball on there.

A short responses to the browser thing. Now thinking about it, it’s sad Opera despite being Chinese owned, linked to scams and overall shitty, still remains the best choice I have, for what I usually need.

Still when I need to test sites at work, I often just use the browser I mede, because it doesn’t cache everything and it’s not filled with cookies, so one can actually see how the site currently looks and not some old and broken cached version.

It’s amazing the competition is so shitty, that despite all their sabotage, one student with not much time was able to make a browser, that may not be able to compete, but is still somehow more useful for webdev.

New profile picture. It was a pixelart project, trying to make it as small as possible, while not missing any details.

A small #preview of the new #BAKC related #NFT #project soon out! 😄 Feel free to right-click!!

watching everyone talk about cloud prices, while knowing that my pixelart and data is small enough to backup for free, pretty much anywhere I want

There’s also a trick with Google Drive, that can be used to join random organizations, that made their thing too open and if you choose one with stupid enough admins and name your folder on there something sneaky. It’s a bit of a Russian roulette and it can get deleted at any time, if you get too cocky with it, so I obviously wouldn’t recommend using it for anything too important. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@netbros.com What also helped it rank so high in those charts, is the fact the iOS app is so far the only working frontend for it, so unlike any other social media, using a browser to access it, isn’t even a possibility yet.

Since the date today is 22.2.2022, I’m hoping to get in the tram number 22 at 22:22 to complete the 22 challenge. 😏

still wondering where @david@netbros.com got that profile pic

Looking into Truth Social - Day1:

• It’s heavily Mastodon + Soapbox based - still an understatement.
• It seems to have some weird side-wide reputation system, to ensure maximum echo chamber - might not apply to checkmarks.
• Graphic design of the main page doesn’t seem to be Donnies passion - especially not when it comes to phone layouts.
• Registration is very confusing and seems to be working only through the iOS app, if one is “lucky” enough to get through the never ending queue and smart enough to register via an email, as phone registrations allegedly don’t even work.
• Many people can only access the site by using a VPN, as the anti-raid system is way too sensitive and often throws out users just trying to view the site normally. Conclusion : Everything about the site is such a mess, that I couldn’t even be bothered to get an alt there, to troll the 5 people, who managed to somehow get in, despite all these problems.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m no Mac expert, as you can probably tell, but I’m somewhat familiar with the browser development scene and know that quite a few browsers dropped their Mac support in 2021, because they didn’t have the resources (or much of a reason) to port their browsers to M1. Not helping was the fact that development for Macs is hard for those working on non-Apple devices, so browser developers had to rely on Mac-owning volunteers willing to help. The number of those volunteers was also shrinking, since most Mac users just use one of the mainstream browsers these days, even more than those on other platforms - probably thanks to the AppStore.

I’m even more mad at Spotify now. I thought they stood by Joe Rogan, because they cared about some level of “freedom of speech” in podcasting. Than they go and ban the more “controversial” podcasts, that are not Spotify exclusive like “Mad at the Internet”, that most other big podcast platforms (including Apple and Google) allow.

I guess Spotify only cares about partnered podcasts and if you want something that’s smaller, more local or a live radio station, you have to get a different app anyway.

Even if they still have the podcast you want, sometimes it doesn’t even play right (stops/crashes randomly) and instead of fixing the player, they rather focus on the development of stupid technologies, that push the sponsors in big podcasts even more in your face or other gimmicks nobody cares about.

Trying this weird artstyle now. People elsewhere are already calling it confusing, so feedback appreciated - I guess. 😄

@adi@twtxt.net Which one?

The Hypnospace font was recreated by Senpaifurret based on tweets by Foone: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1106095130816073728 and I found it on here: https://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1811689/hypnospace-outlaw

Since it is so heavily inspired by the game, it’s hard to give it a license, but those recreating it and the site list it as licensed under Creative Commons.

The more universal font is by Craig Kroeger, who has all his work and fonts at: http://www.miniml.com/ and there is a custom license the fonts are under: http://www.miniml.com/fonts/license/index.html , so that’s also the license that applies to my fixed version of it, except for the “no fixing” part of the license, that excludes me, as I’ve asked for permission.

He also made many other great minimalist fonts, that you can check out on the site. Some are free and some can be purchased for $10 per font, though the paid ones only have Latin support, making them less universal the the free fonts with Latin, Central European and Cyrillic support.

🤞 We might get rid of the Zucc in Europe: https://washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/7/meta-warns-data-transfer-rules-could-mean-end-face/

@prologic@twtxt.net IT (Informatics),the same as most people here - I assume. 🤔

With the exams finally over, for better or worse. I’m feeling completely burnt-out, but I’m trying to fight that and the art block, to bring back some of the stuff that made people follow me. 🤞
