"everything happens for a reason" is an interesting statement because it is both trivially true, but almost universally used to imply something false

sometimes, you just have to cry over the spilled milk

Hello! I'm an account created to get followed by followbots!
Please boost this post!
Boosting will cause this to appear in the timelines of instances with followbots, who will then follow me!
I shall post a list of all followbots who follow me, afterwards.
Thank you for participating! :heart::robot:

the time has come: around the world witches stand in quiet fields and extend antennae from their pointed hats, or fly false stars through the upper atmosphere. the coordinated jinxes of these astronomy witches can image distant planets and constellations, seeing even the vampire stars invisible to mirror-based telescopes.

has anyone ever successfully read a gnu info page?

instead of putting the onus on the people being harassed by your robots to politely ask the robots to stop harassing them, how about you stop building shitty robots that harass people

I don't think follow bots are a good idea, because they make the federated timeline the same on every node. Without them, the federated timeline is still an expression of the interests of the node's users.

i am not sure that it will be my final home, but the account @rosa is me

Vaporwave is a self-replicating meme.

todays shoutout goes to glitter warrior who owned richard spencer

We currently require all satellites either de-orbit before stationkeeping ends (burning up in the atmosphere) or raise themselves to a higher graveyard orbit where they will continue circling the planet for a billion years or so.

This is a mistake along the same lines of polluting our atmosphere or our oceans because they once seemed so impossibly vast. We should bury the idea of the graveyard orbit forever, and require that all satellites be removed from Earth orbit at end of life.
