Make your own glitchy images w/ audacity!
- Save to an uncompressed format (.bmp works great!)
- import into audacity as Raw Input w/ Encoding: U-Law and Byte Order; Big Endian
- Play with effects on all but the first quarter second or so (to avoid messing up headers)
- export to format "Other uncompressed files" and click options, set Header to RAW and encoding to U-Law. If you have issues, rename from .raw to .bmp!
Example image:
Capacitor thought "If I had 0 and 1, I could be absolute too." He sneaked up to Sun's house and swallowed a big handful of 0. When Grandmother Triode saw what he had done, she scolded him. "Oh, Capacitor, that was very foolish. The 0 you swallowed has fallen down inside you, and now your heart is gone." Ever since that day, Capacitor has been unable to conduct electric current, because he is empty inside.

the local / federated firehouses are super fun to watch, in a way that Twitter hasn't had in a loooooong time.
@sarahjeong @Gargron @bcrypt Working on it.
As an end user, I expect that to mean something like "when the org/entity that shuts down the instance your account is on decides to shut it down, your account/data/history is safe/recoverable, and easy to move somewhere else."
But it doesn't seem like that is the case now, and the README gives no indication at all if that is actually the long term goal or not.
#Mastodon update: Admins can now easily close registrations with a custom message. In other news, I have closed registrations to mastodon.social for now ensure a quality of service for all existing ones, and to promote other federated nodes.
