I just launched a new art project in the form of a Mastodon bot that will slowly tell a story over the course of three weeks by posting a drawing every day. You can follow it at @dailystory
The bot post the first image on Monday April 12 and post a new image everyday at 6 pm UTC (as long as nothing breaks).
I hope you all enjoy it.
I've been on the Fediverse for over 4 years now and we still can't filter boosts from our list timelines. Will this ever change?

I have previously read his "The Master of Go". He was truly a great writer.

Hey Apple users:
If you're now experiencing hangs launching apps on the Mac, I figured out the problem using Little Snitch.
It's trustd connecting to http://ocsp.apple.com
Denying that connection fixes it, because OCSP is a soft failure.
(Disconnect internet also fixes.)
