There's a ton of events going on next month! It took @daffl.xyz quite a bit to gather them together in a post. Thanks to him for making sure everyone knows what is going on #Vancouver #events

This is why I'm considering walking away from open source. It was barely sustainable before and now there aren't even humans to talk to anymore. No real community or collective sensemaking and an agent has yet to hire me for consulting.

The @dwebyvr.org year is already filling up.
Yes. Good. Remember to ask for help with anything.
This is the complete, real migration of @mk.gg from the Bluesky PDS to a new Cirrus PDS Worker.
The more boring bits are sped-up to get it under the 3 minute video limit. The real thing took about 12 mins.
