@dthompson I have not been able to reset my password there in like 10 years
Curious where the $16.50 on my self-published comic goes? I drew this to explain so you get an idea about the costs. #transparency (By the way, 955 books sold! 🎉 thank-you-thank-you-thank-you!)

777 Books sold since the release two weeks ago! Thank you! 🎉 I hope you'll get the geek joke.( I'm not worrying a lot on Mastodon 😇 ). My 'Special Launch Offer' sale ends on Saturday 31, in three days. Will it reach 1000? That would be amazing. Last chance to get them while they're cheap!

Congratulations to Framasoft on the release of Mobilizon, a libre and federated tool to help local events and meetup groups escape the clutches of Facebook! https://u.fsf.org/36l
@FiXato I don't think it's so clear. RIAA really wants so called contributory infringement to be exactly the same as actual infringement, but it isn't. Also not sure that YouTube is behind a technological protection measure.
@n8 I think we are planning a bit of a retrospective / where are we now soon. I think it still holds up well and deserves an iteration.
@brainwane It is coming, but I'd say a matter of months rather than weeks still. (Also, excited about the work!)
