Felthry got in the mood for paws last night, and that's spilled over to me. So now I have larger than usual paws today. Just a little bit. (they're about half a meter across.)

*big firewuff hugs to anyone who wants one*

*hugs @Felthry back.* <3 to you too. You're a good headmate, even if you don't always think so.

Good morning everyone. I felt like fronting, and Felthry took the chance to take a break.

Some people apparently complained about how the timer background in this year's AGDQ wasn't "real binary". I guess they never heard of binary-coded decimal.

I find occasionally repeating "I am Rosemary" to myself really helps me hold front.

@mawr *takes some time to appreciate both you and @Felthry at the very least!*

We've decided to see if I can keep front all day today. Even if that fails, the experience would be useful, I think.

Maybe I'll even level up!

Rosemary boosted

My Grandad's advice for safe driving was: "Always remember you're controlling a potentially lethal weapon". I think it helped me to take driving even more seriously.

Perhaps it's good advice for us technologists too...

"Always remember you're programming a potential platform for bullying and harassment".

"Always remember you're designing a potential system for mass surveillance".

"Always remember you're deploying a potential tool for mass social unrest".

@vahnj I'll make sure to remind Felthry to check next time it's up. We try not to mess with the other's account.

@vahnj Unless Felthry is on the 'default Mastodon' one because it signed up before the transition to the glitch branch?

@vahnj I don't think we knew that setting existed! Neither of us have changed it, so we'd both be on the default, I think.

It's strange, but there are a few things about awoo.space that look different to me than they do to Felthry. And that's a based on who's logged in thing, not perception differences between it and me.

@vahnj do you know what could cause that? There's an orange border around the collapse button in collapsed toots, and there's a small star in the cornder of favorite notifications. That's what we've noticed so far, at least.

@djsundog @elomatreb@glitch.social Oh man, memories. Our predecessor's fourth-grade teacher, back when they were ten years old, had a set similar to that. Upon our predecessor's graduation from elementary school, said teacher gave us that set. I wonder how much of it still works.

It is just the really basic ones, like recognising the kanji for mountain or river or forest, but still, Felthry didn't tend to pick those out even.

We've been watching the recordings of AGDQ the last couple days. I've noticed that I'm actually picking up a couple words here and there of the Japanese text. Felthry's always said it has no aptitude for languages, but I wonder if I might have more success learning one....

@lizardsquid The typo made me think of the pokemon version, playerunown.
