MercuryAlloy automates the build process for the Mercury browser.

I really like the Mercury browser, but I worried about the browser getting out of date, since releases of the browser seem to be build and released manually. So I threw together a set of scripts and overrides that will allow the build process to run without user interaction and on a schedule. You can modify the subscripts to move your compiled executable anywhere you want (like a web server), as well as send a custom alert upon successful build (like sending the link out via email).

This is a more technical project, but it has been a fun learning experience.

Frog with Eyes (NOT) Closed (media.kbin.social)

I tried to get SD-XL to generate an image of a frog with its eyes closed. It refused. I even cranked up the attention on closed to an absurd level, and it seemed to get sassy with me.

If they could force you to pay a royalty every time you so much as thought of a book you once read, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

Tomato, tomato, as far as they're concerned.

Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts? I'd rather have nothing to do with particular users, and it seems that they continue to show up in the activity for every single post I make around kbin.

That "something" might just turn out to be as simple as "ignore it".

Why? First, because this editorial board doesn’t like getting yelled at. Second, there are going to be way fewer people with way less power mad at us.

Not untrue.

That's right. You don't skip your responsibilities because you think another link down the chain won't fulfill their duties. You do your job and make whoever skips out on their responsibility to put their name to it. Doesn't matter if nothing practical comes of it. Integrity and faith in "the system" demands no less.

I use Publii. It is a static site generator, and it's open source. In my opinion, statically generated sites are superior for a lot of purposes. You can upload the generated site to any web hosting service. It doesn't include any trackers. It actually only produces the content you ask it to.

It is also very easy to use. The interface is a lot like what you'd expect if you're familiar with Wordpress or similar. If you have an existing Wordpress blog, you can import it and keep all your content.

My blog is generated by Publii. There is no code running on the server, it is all plain HTML. I run a self hosted tracking service myself, but I had to intentionally add it to the footer of the generated pages.

If there were ever a man that didn't deserve any sympathy for something like this, it is Mitch McConnell.

Charity should be freely given. If you don't want to, then don't. You are not obligated to take care of people you are only tangentially related to.

Those screenshots are unreal. Did real people write those? Unironically? Screenshots from Threads is going to do for cringe what Twitter screenshots did for humor.

OverClocked ReMix is a video game music community with tons of fan-made ReMixes and information on video game music.


I figured since we're currently in a reawakening to decentralized and special purpose forums and websites, now might be a good time to remind people of OCRemix. Or help someone discover it for the first time.
