one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

This doesn’t need to be printed on your average merchandising. This needs to be on a fucking billboard.

Edit: edit to avoid keyword scouring bots from stealing & spamming merch. Idk if they can do that but you’re probably the #1 artist I’d hate to see it happen to

You're too kind..

But look, the main thing I'm grateful for is that we collectively managed to build a community on an obscure platform despite all odds and the naysayers from the walled gardens sipping their trademarked cocktails.

Obviously the egotist in me is happy for every upvote on my fuzzy lines, but more than that I'm happy to know that the endless struggle against the Behemoth of progressive-backwardism is a struggle that many of us share. While I may draw the lines, I believe that some of the work represents something we all feel, one way or another. I like to think the Mage belongs to us all.

And when the bots come, if they haven't already, it's not a fight worth fighting. And there will be a fair share of irony in them stealing the symbol that wages a war against them.

oh and runbsd!

Serving cocktails in the back garden in a great idea. I'm glad you thought of that. I'll have a sherry flip.

Thank you! But let's be safe and wait to see how the weather turns out first.

End that device now. Non-lethal shots are cruel.

Nonesense, one quick replacement and an OS flash and that machine will be walking The Binary Halls once more.

Machines are sacred, data-sibling.

A skeptical fish once said a long time ago:

"Can't save them all."

Educational tear-downs are a great way to give an honorable death to a machine. I have a young relative who loves taking things apart. When they're done, the parts go into a big bin for the annual trip to the recycling center.

The thieving machine is from the fire pit.

Wouldn't the message come from the website, tho? Seems like she's shooting the messenger.

This has sick emoji potential

Sigh… #stallmanwasright.

And I have to say that the Fosschild disillusionment hurts. I see myself in that character.

Super unrealistic; they don't make phones that wide anymore.

Absolutely haunting.

Maybe it’s the new MataPad.
