I kinda wanna give away "1 nautical gigabyte" memory cards that have 256 bytes of storage

so just a thing,

a great way to have a network get very close to death is people leaving due to harassment

it almost happened to masto in nov, sort of, when there was the huge falloff before unlisted was implimented, and then again until people started blacklistng things

reactive administration is shitty and relies on people getting hit by preventable issues

proactive administration gets instances banned but if they're bad enough to get suspended in the first place, well, maybe that shouldnt be happening *but many of them have been making it clear thats their thing since nov*

jegus i really need to start writing down my insults because "The only career you're qualified for is working at the dump because all that you know is garbage"is a really good one towards academics who are overtly being racist in every aspect of their thing

It says a lot about the culture of games that 'skip cutscene' is standard but 'skip this challenge' is not.

(3) Requiring users to exert labour to vet and background-check literally everyone who follows them AND maintain a locked account if they want to share things privately is a bad solution to the problem and like literally Twitter wouldn't dare implement that it's so awful

(2) Changing the name from "Private" to "Followers only" might be a helpful and good change, but I FEAR that it is being used AS A COP-OUT for not better implementing real privacy features before shipping. People WANT private posts. And by "private" I mean "as private as e-mail, or Facebook". They don't want "followers-only-and-I-abdicate-all-responsibility-for-what-happens" posts.

its the year 2050. for 10 years your retinal implant has been blinking 12:00 because the company decided to stop supporting it

This person's made an interesting case that Tom Bombadil may well be an eldritch abomination.

The argument's fairly convincing, though it doesn't bring up Tom's ability to touch the ring and show not sign of being affected by it.

Not quite the #Cyberpunk future I envisioned

SAME

Man, could you imagine if other workers reacted like tech Industry ones do?
"my car broke down." "UH, HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CAR THEN?"
"My pants ripped." "LEARN A SEWING LANGUAGE THEN"

The occurrence of the words "vampire", "werewolf" and "zombie" over time. http://bit.ly/2oKlQcK

Cool trivia: UFOs were actually real, but then in the mid-1980s someone figured out how to make them stop appearing

I was just reading something on the local timeline and suddenly it updated. A new toot appeared. It was directly in my line of sight and the same size as the original one, except that it was in French and for a second there I thought I had gone nuts.

Heh, just realized that now we can use fanfic bang notation. "oh, octodon!me boosted witches!foo, didn't realize you were here too" etc
