hygiene; webcomics
@Satsuma not all webcomics but QC is adult enough and slice of life enough that i expect people to take common-sense measures to protect each other’s health
@coriander ah yes, if it weren't for the sheep they would have written books on rolls of silk
@KitRedgrave a lot of people publish tweets under the name of poetry because there isn't a genre of literature for tweets but i still hold that they are different things
@KitRedgrave shitposts make you 🤔, poems make you 🤯, very different vibes
relationship
@Satsuma i mean this is also a good plan but maybe we can compromise

« The campus protests of the late 1960s sought in part to dismantle the in loco parentis role that colleges and universities had held in American life. But the past two decades have been shaped by a reversal of that, as institutions have sought to reconstruct this role in response to what students and parents paying enormous sums for their education have seemed to want. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, during the 2020-21 fiscal year, private four-year colleges spent 40 percent of their budgets on student support services. Over the span of the past 20 years, the dollar amount has more than tripled. »
re: Building an open alternative to Bandcamp
@djsundog i think decentralization has really strong advantages for content producers (musicians) in terms of agency and control, but it also can throw up barriers for content consumers (listeners) who don't want to have an account for every artist/label, or associated with any of them necessarily. i think it’s right to prioritize artists without compromise. but i’m also always thinking, are there ways we can let listeners have their more-centralized, social spaces of music sharing and discovery without infringing on artist agency?
related question: what about internet radio? 😜
re: Building an open alternative to Bandcamp
@djsundog i’m interested in your long-term goal of “playlist support”: does this include third-party playlist services?? i’d be very interested in an open-source 8tracks that overlays on top of and links directly to musician storefronts, and i don't think this needs to be the same piece of software necessarily
@dustin @djsundog ah yes, i was auspiciously looking at this myself a few days ago because i was going through old music on my hard drive and that led me to https://www.kristinhersh.com/with-love-from-50-foot-wave/
@coriander don't make me “influence shadowheart through dialogue options” u cowards just let me roleplay shadowheart and especially roleplay her fucking the shit out of me
@coriander i think playersexual is western rpg baby steps towards letting players roleplay characters other than the mary sue standin protagonist and they should lean waaayy harder in that direction
congressional politics
