I recently had it pointed out to me that I should do an post! So hi! I'm a clown, stiltwalker, juggler, musician, starting to work on some acrobatics, and I work for a (circusfreaks.org) I have a BA in German, and am hoping to start practicing speaking with people more often in German. I was invited to come and try out Mastadon by @RussSharek@mastodon.cloud and have been enjoying it thus far.

Google is Adding Anti-Tampering DRM To Android Apps in the Play Store Slashdot
https://nu.federati.net/url/145914

Google has introduced a small change to Play Store apps that could significantly protect several Android users. From a report:

Earlier this week, Google quietly rolled out a feature that adds a string of metadata to all APK files (that's the file type for Android apps) when they are signed by the developer. You can't install an application that hasn't been signed during its final build, so that means that all apps built using the latest APK Signature Scheme will have a nice little chunk of DRM built into them. And eventually, your phone will run a version of Android that won't be able to install apps without it.

Where is my Linux phone?

I'm still waiting...

-d to work today!! I gave myself twice the time it usually takes me to walk, but it only took me about 10 minutes longer than my usual!

tired: I googled it
wired: I DuckDuckWent for it

i dont care if it takes a year, five years, or even a decade to get where i want to be in my own personal artstyle and way I work. I'll always make things i'm proud of and the work I do already is fantastic. half the fun of being a creator, an artist, is learning, and making things along the way.

i want to call a raccoon "crimes cat" but that wrongly implies regular cats are not involved in crimes

One of my happiest moments from this weekend was being a part of this completely unplanned roving clown band.

That's me, @Avalon and @naugeleh if you're looking to add some #clowns to your feed.

Our Russian acrobatics coach has picked up some odd English-ish idioms.

Last night, he referred to our exhausted muscles as 'jello fish'

Today, I can get neither the phrase nor the corresponding visual out of my head.

"[...] according to those who make a living selling meme-based products online, it’s harder than ever to make money on a meme."

tbh, it's really hard for me to see this as a bad thing

practice today. One of these days I'll unicycle to the day job. ..but I'm not there yet.



Decent evening training at the #clown gym tonight.

I seem to declare my victories based on how much @Avalon stands on me.

Tonight it was a lot. Except for the part where she sat on me. And juggled.

Going to have to film that one soon.

@Avalon

It's kind of ridiculous because it combines doing something really skilled with something arguably stupid.

That's a recipe for clown magic.

Welcome to my friend @alittlekennaart !! I'd suggest making a post and taking a look through the hashtag to find some cool people to put in your feed :) Russ is @RussSharek , and Marie is @naugeleh
