📢 📢"HARDCORE PIXELFED USERS" 📢📢
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.
RIP Yellow Mug btw, who died in the sink last week 🪦

Hello Lisbon! 
On May 20th, our member Femke Snelting will contribute to the Culture Converge 2026 by sharing on TITiPI's methods, political positionality and open-ended questions in the opening panel.
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.
