I don't know how to get the eyes or ears of any big #Fediverse movers or shakers, but if someone out there who is good with code wants to jump on a golden opportunity, one is presenting itself.

A couple of days ago, Tapas warned all their creators that they were going to be shutting down. If you're not familiar with it, Tapas is a webcomics platform, and basically the only decent-sized alternative to Webtoon.

If we could throw together some sort of ActivityPub-backed Webcomics platform, we could use it as a way to get a lot more people using Fediverse-adjacent technology.

I don't have the time or energy to do any of this myself, and I am not good at coding, but I have been doing webcomics since the 1990s, and have watched the rise and fall of Keenspot, Drunk Duck, Wordpress and the RSS era, and now the modern "Walmart for Webcomics" era. This is a huge opportunity to present the Fediverse as a viable alternative.

The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill, while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.”

I had a fess published a few years ago about how I couldn't connect with my lifelong pals cos all they wanted to do was booze and take coke. I told them how I felt, turned out they thought the same and now we climb Munro's on Sundays. Lads, talk to your pals.

Is there ever a week where this doesn’t come in handy?

Diesen Donnerstag wird es laut: Beim Bundesweiten Warntag wird eine Probewarnung ausgelöst und über verschiedene Warnwege wie Cell Broadcast, Warn-Apps auf dem Smartphone, Radio, Fernsehen und Sirenen verbreitet. Katastrophen- und Bevölkerungsschutz braucht gute Vorbereitung und verlässliche Warnsysteme.

Mehr Wissenswertes zum Warntag und wie ihr euch selbst beteiligen können, erfahrt ihr hier: https://bpaq.de/Bundesweiter_Warntag_2026

Ihr Lieben! Ich berate als Anwalt seit Jahren europäische NGOs, insb. aus Osteuropa zur Compliance und, wie ihre Arbeit so strukturiert werden kann, dass sie autoritärem Gegenwind stand hält.

Ich habe dabei viele Angriffe der Staatsgewalten gesehen. Der rote Faden ist immer: das Steuerrecht (und wo es das gibt: das Gemeinnützigkeitsrecht) wird zur Waffe. Das deutsche Steuerrecht ist längst diese Waffe. Gemacht gegen Steuerhinterziehung bald eingesetzt gegen NGOs.

Macht Compliance. Gestern.

I drew so much today!
Not because I had to or for a certain project (except for the storyboard page) but because I felt like it.
I was so burned out lately that even if I met with friends to draw just for fun, I mostly just stared at the ceiling or let myself be distracted by basically everything and hated whatever I drew. But I think I'm getting better. 😄

@ordnung Plant ihr zufällig irgendwann demnächst ein Mastodon-Update?
Ich linse immer etwas neidisch auf das neue Collections Feature, dass es ab 4.6 gibt. 🥺

The fairy presented the contract.

"As discussed, you will get inner peace for the rest of your natural life, in exchange for your firstborn."

"Correction," the boy said. "My father will get inner peace, in exchange for me, his firstborn."

"Ah! You have siblings?"

"And a mother."

"Very well."
