@thor Sure!
Maybe it just doesn't reach the right audience. Most often the people who can truly appreciate your art are not the people who you want to do so. Eventually it may happen — by chance, but it'll only happen if you don't give up. And it's not even guaranteed — it can be very discouraging.
@thor I think I had already told you this, I've watched some documentary on David Lynch — basically just an interview. And you know what, he was on the verge of giving up when he got his first grant from some educational institution. That's Lynch for christsake! If you want to make it in this game, you should never give up — but nothing is guaranteed This doesn't mean you should double down on it and ruin your life — if you don't feel comfortable with it, put it on hold, never give up completely
@thor No, actually it doesn't mean shit most of the time! Maybe you're good, maybe not — there is no way to tell by showing your art (or whatever) to random people.
And of course it's not the reason to give up — if you want to make money not by editing wedding videos, but with artsy-creative stuff you've got to do A LOT of it for free first.
@wikihow And spend hours on customizing that userChrome.css again? No, thank you 😅

I've never had a Twitter account — reading is all I do so Nitter is perfect for me. I don't know why this community doesn't migrate to Fedi though, considering Twitter has your phone number and you can go to prison easily for posting "wrong" things. Well, they still want their thousands of followers I guess 🤷

Fortunately for us, it's really hard to do so with webapps — of course they can add some keys and obfuscate the way they are generated with javascript, but a skilled web developer will still figure it out.
I agree, not relying on centralized social media is the right way. Nitter is pretty much all I use as Russian Twitter community is an invaluable source of news on politics and such, most "real" news outlets were censored long ago, even online ones.

@devlight70@mastodon.ml Сказал бы, что компилятор в ходе оптимизации мог заменить сложение битовым сдвигом, т.к. это быстрее, но из-за особенности реализации на данной архитектуре пустые биты заполняются не нулями, а старшим битом соседнего регистра, а значит, в некоторых случаях такой результат вполне ожидаем 🤓
@TakeV I've found joy in #voidlinux it's a binary distro, but you can optimize and customize just the stuff you want and build it with xbps-src all pros, no cons 🤷
@thor Yeah, I've realized that you learn to not care when you grow up, while teenagers tend to be ashamed of their parents doing weird shit, but too late, I had already replied 😅

Правильно! Затягивать не стоит, окно возможностей может ведь и закрыться 🤭

Не грызут гранит наук — вы не подумайте. Они буквально едят гранит 🤭
@thor Why would he even want his father to stop wearing his pants like that, who cares? 🤔
@changeling Looks like early 2000s Adult Swim shows were a lot more chill about transferring your consciousness into a body of the opposite sex than what society is now 😅
@neural_meduza Сорваны собачьи свадьбы! 🐶

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
