After 3 hours of sleep, and failing to sleep more, my brain has decided to fixate on the Macintosh SE/30 I want to finish fixing.

One of the saddest effects of AI in my own personal life is how jaded it's made me about art I see online. I have several times looked at art and thought "ugh, why did they post AI slop," only to realize, no, this is the artistic labor that the slopware vendors stole.

We're back, baby! Calamity.world is on Mastodon v4.5.0 with quote-posts and remote replies.
Feels like Mastodon's about to be come an all-grown-up social network, for better or worse.
I'm pretty neutral on the quote-posts thing, and I'm curious how this is all going to pan out.
