i post for attention and affection (youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny

(former was causal to the later)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

hey fedi!
would you be interested in a service a-la Datadog's application log collection, metrics collection, and performance monitoring, but with pricing targeted more toward mere mortals, run by a small two-person company that actually cares about you? if so, feel free to DM me! i'm planning on starting with just log collection, adding metrics and APM later. we're looking at having two different pricing structures, in a setup similar to PurelyMail:

  • simple pricing, where you pay one fee that's always the same. although it might be more expensive, it gives you a bill that is always the same (and thus easily predictable), and unless you use drastically over the limit, you wouldn't be forced to switch to advanced pricing (this is the same thing PM does, FWIW)
  • advanced pricing, where you pay based on exactly your usage

regardless, we are willing to work with you to figure out how we can make this accessible to you.

we have the server space already, we might as well use it to help you! regardless of the pricing agreed upon, you have our commitment to help you with any setup you'd need to get it working and get your infrastructure monitored.

if this sounds like something you'd like, feel free to DM me here, or email contact [@] fractal microsystems dot org!

Hey! Did you know that the trans voice training app we were hired for as the UX/UI lead is out now and you can use it on your phone or in the browser?
transvoice.app/

If we get enough interest it'll be easier to secure more funding for the project and we can keep working on it. Otherwise our work contract may run out at the end of the month, which would suck

edit: thanks everyone for boosting :neomouse_cyborg_cyan_heart: looking for a new job now. if you need someone with our skills bridging ideas and implementation, please get in touch

#TransVoiceApp

 smartphone shows the dashboard of the trans voice app, with UI elements, a small shark mascot, community trends, and practice-time stats. two white floating cards hover in front: one displays a pitch monitor graph with voice pitch over time, and the other shows a community voting interface with an audio waveform and a gender-perception scale from masculine to feminine

maybe AI hate will lead to creating non-AI tools that make software, graphic design, and publishing easy and accessible for folks to do themselves

Bring back HyperCard and WordArt and Print Shop Deluxe. I still got Comic Sans installed so i’m ready

hey i’m so old that sometimes, to know what time it was, i called a phone number so an automated voice could tell me. i couldn’t, like, just look at the phone

+1 (815) 727-1761 btw

(enshittification happened, it has an ad before telling you now lol)
