The #animation is made in #Moho Pro 12 and stop frames captured using the free #qStopMotion.
The robot frames where then converted into a multilayer photoshop file with transparent background.
In Moho that becomes a character you move around and select which layer is displayed on the animation timeline.

So the stopmotion frames can be used in any order. And rotated, resized and moved around. Allows reusing a small amount of captured animation.

Working on a "ROCK Opera" in this style ☺

I keep hearing that #Mastodon is not likely to replace #Twitter. To that I say: so what?
I've been contributing to the #Linux desktop for the last 15 years not because it's likely to replace #Windows, but because providing people with free desktop is the right thing to do.
I use and support Mastodon not because it's likely to replace Twitter, but because it's a social network done right.

#Twitter vs #Mastodon

Why are you so completely broke, Alan? Juku, fskcing juku. That's why.

It's not something I'm happy to see, but some time soon, we are going to be speaking about twitter in the past tense. It wish it weren't so, but I can't see it going any other way at the moment. I'm so happy Mastodon is here, and I'm happy a large part of the community is moving over as well.

It just occurred to me that across the 4,000 #Mastodon servers each with their #MastoAdmin plus their moderator teams... we have more content moderators tracking reports and complaints than Twitter does.

For the folks who keep asking about how we're going to scale, we're on it.

Bold of Musk to destroy Twitter just so that Jack can re-acquire the embers and ashes that remain for under 42 million dollars and rebrand it BlueSky

A particularly catastrophic day at Twitter. The people reassuring advertisers yesterday that everything was fine quit, along with the heads of trust and safety, ad sales and most importantly the three people who were responsible for filing a document to the FTC detailing their protections in place for user data. Those three were the heads of information security, compliance and privacy. When they leave like that you know it’s bad. Law-breaking, privacy violating, insecure bad.

Crypto prices are going back to the moon today! Glad that FTX thing turned out to be insignificant.

hey guys from Twitter.

we are glad to see you here but please understand that the fact that fediverse is anti-viral, anti-hierarchy and anti-capitalist is the point of it

please also understand that CWs, alt text and other stuff here is not there to "silence you" — it is to allow users greater agency over their feeds for their mental benefit, and to support disabled people.

this network was built by marginalized people. who disliked Twitter for the same reasons you do.

don't bring it back.

Well, I’m slowly getting a little more confident and paddling out deeper into the Mastosphere. Trousers now rolled up to the knees and the water not feeling as cold…

Didn't the fact that Republicans manufactured the expectation of a "red wave", and got the press to go along, actually motivate panicked Democrats to show up and vote? Strikes me as a bad strategic move, presumably from self-delusion.
