@kel Still, current popularity brings attention to the classics.
I actually swiped it from a sci-fi novel where Mycroft was the name of a lonely sapient computer who helped orchestrate the overthrow of an authoritarian regime because that seemed to be the only way his friends would pay attention to him. A little sad. But I thought it was a cool name, so yoink!

@kel Oh, that. I sorta took on this handle long before Sherlock fandom became super popular, when it was actually a fairly obscure character, and even then, I took the name from a different source.
Could be worse, in the early days people actually made fun of my name's similarity to the company that makes Windows/Office. :/

@kel But for serious, I don't belong to any clubs I don't think, to what were you referring?

@kel I don’t care to belong to any club that will have someone like me as a member. ;)

I was going to do something, but I forgot.

@tcql@octodon.social @Swampwulf It's such a minefield of people deciding to be nice and respectful to other people. It's frightening how foreign a concept that is for some. o.o

@vahnj Also for me I stick out already due to other things (yay body shaming) do the less attention I can draw to myself the less I feel everybody's pointing and laughing at me behind my back.

16.5 working hours left until vacation :o

I am full of waffles in hopes I can finish my sleep now.

I'm awake way too early and don't know what to do.

I spit in the face of productivity. I also wasn't thinking when I implemented the ladder names thing to account for "a average". I'll let it stand. cybre.space/media/NUl_eoSjZ4L6

I could be trying to do something useful right now, like trying to learn python, but instead for some reason I'm trying to make a Fate Dice rolling program for the Apple II.

@grime_witch@witches.town ... what do you mean, fad?
Color television, now *that's* a fad.

@Siphonay@octodon.social not even scientific, just fields and things in general. Anecdotal evidence from watching people at self-scanners at grocery stores shows that 20% of the population can't handle the simple minimum-wage job of a store clerk.

@thefishcrow Oh oh, have you seen this? Nightline show about computers, interviewed Steve Jobs for part of it.

It's like, 35+ years showing the more things change, the more they stay the same.
