Ramses Revengeday

I always find it hilarious when people say the Fediverse is dead. I can only speak for myself here, but I’ve found more cool artists, musicians and other creatures through the Fediverse than I ever did on fucking Twitter back in the day.

Chooms, I need to rant for a moment.

Call it gatekeeping, call it salty, call it "the guy is mad on the internet again" - I don't care. But someone has to speak up before the last brain cells in this scene get fried by RGB lighting and LinkedIn posts.

I've been hanging around in the grime of the cyberpunk subculture for years. And no, it was never that polished "Neon = cool"/r/cyberpunk nonsense.
It was a bunch of broken, creative, rebellious people who didn't want to fit into the system. Anti-corporate. Anti-bullshit. Anti-"please wear something normal."

It was a safe space. For queers. For outsiders. For people who fell through the cracks and thought: "Alright, I'll just build my own space."

It didn't matter who you were. As long as you were real.

A bit like a hackerspace that partied for three days and decided that reality was optional.

...yeah. Was.

Now?
Now the whole thing is completely messed up.

And no, this isn't some melodramatic "it was better back then" drivel. It's more like "who saw the corpse and why isn't anyone doing anything?"

Do you know what dealt the final blow?
Cyberpunk 2077 and the horde of idiots who completely ignored the message and just thought:
"Wow, neon. Wow, chrome. Wow, dystopian = sexy."

And bam - suddenly everything is "cyberpunk."
AI bros.
Crypto bros.
Startups selling you surveillance as a lifestyle.
Corporations literally building the dystopia cyberpunk always warned against - and getting praised for it.

Congratulations. You've taken the middle finger and turned it into a damn ad banner.

Cyberpunk was never an aesthetic.
Cyberpunk was an attack.

A dirty, loud, uncomfortable attack on power structures.
A "fuck you" with cables attached.

And now some marketing pissheads comes along and says:
"Our new product is super cyberpunk because AI✨"

Cute date idea: burn down Sam Altman’s house 🌸

I no longer upload my music to the major streaming sites, but I've just had a silly idea :thonk:

I change the songs so that they sound as if you're standing outside a club and inside my music is playing. And you hear people complaining that they can't get into the club. The bouncer always points out that they can listen to the music elsewhere :D

Ah, #PortfolioDay. I actually make more music, but somehow I’ve started doing XBIN / ANSI art simply because art shouldn’t die out.

XBIN / ANSI art are works of art that can be displayed on a computer via the console.

I think I ruined AliExpress for myself... :teto_gun:

I’ve lost myself.

I’m not the person I used to be anymore.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Cute Date Idea: Burning Down AI Data Centers

Burn down AI data centers :neomarxSunglasses:

old fedi server, boost this post to destroy this instance

From the series: pointless things I've done.

Scrobbler, a page dynamically generated with PHP that displays my latest scrobbles on ListenBrainz and Last.fm. And nothing else. It just looks nicer than those two sites :D

Hey, I'm Ramses. I specifically commissioned a artwork to have my character Ivy on a JDM Car in a freaking video game... :lol:

The car is not yet fully designed, I've run out of money and I need to keep grinding!

Hey chooms,

If you’ve been following my audio player project “Kyberklang”, I’m afraid I have to let you know today that I’ve decided not to continue with the project and have therefore stopped working on it.

Before someone ask, the project won’t be made open source, as I’ve simply deleted the code entirely.

Many thanks to those who took an interest in the project

Another cute date idea: Fly multiple drones over the hydrogen tanks at AI data centers 🌸 ✨

Yo Fedi,

I'm selling my Flipper Zero (without MicroSD) + Flipper Zero WiFi Board in case anyone is interested.

€200 (Shipping within the EU only - sorry!)

Feel free to slide into my DMs.

⚠️ To all the music chooms out there:

If you ever receive an email from OXS Records or OXS Distribution claiming they’ve "discovered" you, or even saying that a well-known major artist has found you. Let me be blunt: that’s bullshit.

OXS Records / OXS Distribution are not new players in the scene. They send out large volumes of messages to smaller artists, hoping someone will bite.

And even if you do respond, you’re not getting a record deal or any kind of real backing. Instead, you’re asked to create an account with them and release your music through their platform so it appears on services like Spotify or Apple Music.

OXS Records / OXS Distribution are essentially just a distribution service with relatively poor rates. They’re simply using "Distro Direct" from Gyro in a white-label setup to distribute your music.

I can tell you from experience that if a record label wants to work with you, they never, and I mean never, send out emails like that.

My coffee machine has been playing mind games with me. It says the container is full, but it was actually empty...
