What do you think about creating a voluntary "discover system" for sharing (linking) other people's photos and accounts?
Reasons behind this idea:
1. often, by chance, I discover good photographers and I'm like: "how have I missed this until now?"
2. boosts/reblogs don't work;
3. the Discover page only shows the top accounts all the time (same 7-8 people??). Which is great, they take briliant photos and deserve to be there. But it's not a Discover page, is it? It's a TOP/Trending page.
My thoughts so far:
1. Come up with an hashtag and make it a weekly event (like caturday, doorsday, monochromemonday...you get the idea);
2. Publish a post with links to fediverse photos/accounts we like and keep it there for at least 48 hours;
3. 100% voluntary, no pressure, just giving back to the community.
What do you think? Is it a stupid idea? How to improve on it?
Let me know in the comments.

In words of the organisers, "an opportunity to explore ways to navigate the digital disruption critically and together; an invitation to conceive the possibility of digital practices and platforms that truly connect us, and, in some instances, of opting out altogether."

me: man I hate reverse engineering decompression routines. what if I just take the ghidra decomp of the routine and stuff it into a new C file, and call that from my python script? Surely that'll work?
me: hurray, it worked! I can see no downsides to this!
guy who owns the rights to the game: Hey I wanted to rerelease it with some minor graphical changes, and I saw you reverse engineered the compression. Could you help us do that, since you understand the compression?
me: UHHHH NOT REALLY
heyo @neauoire, what's your opinion on stateful ports?
e.g. I want to connect to an address, I set the action port to connect mode by writing action/Connect, then I write in the address string until the null byte
I understand that this is opposed to the file device which does this by writing a pointer* to the filename in memory and then an operation on another port, is that the preferred way? (if so, why?)
action port would be a single-byte port, where you write the command and address string into the port, one byte at a time

Boy howdy do I have a laundry hack for my fellow thrifters and upcyclers:
Removing old perfumed laundry detergent that gives me migraines used to take FOREVER.
In desperation today after washing a few shirts at least 3 times using baking soda, vinegar, and borax (not together) soaking each time, I threw about a cup of 90% isopropyl alcohol in a plain water wash and let it soak for about 2 hours. After it rinsed and spun out, the smell was nearly GONE.
WUT... HOLY CRAP.
