New folks: CW your political posts, please. Political shitposting also qualifies. We have a culture here of voluntary participation with political content.

Still waiting on my account export (requested 5h ago); hope that maybe they'll let me sign up for a Dev account too soon, otherwise I'll just not have an archive of my stuff over there.

Kinda fitting that you can just lose all this data at the whim of a company bad at products

Job interview 

"What are your biggest weaknesses?"
"Whenever I enter into combat, I fall into predictable and easily counterable patterns. Also, all my vulnerable spot begins to flash bright red, somehow"
"I see"
"I'm also not much into small talk. I'm more of a grand proclamations about epic quests and the fate of the universe hanging in the balance kind of person"

I don't think we talk enough about how the backstory to Breath of the Wild is that Hyrule tried to fight Ganon with mechs and a drone army but then Ganon hacked them all with magic.

@tef @federicomena that sounds a hell of a lot like what crossbeam does!

The “Profile metadata” thing they added to Preferences since the last time I looked at Mastodon is a good place to add your pronouns:

"Animals"
by Frank O'Hara

Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth

it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners

the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water

I wouldn't want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days

@quephird@mastodon.social like, I bet you have the smarts! They should be competing for you, if anything (:

@quephird@mastodon.social are they anywhere neargood enough for you to work there?!

@quephird@mastodon.social who called it shitposting on mastodon instead of sharting send toot

Person: *calls HALPLINE* HALP ISSUES NEED HALP

HALPLINE: O HECK, WHAT TROUBLIN FREN?

Person: HECKIN' HECKED ALL UP IN HERE

HALPLINE: O NO! WE'RE SENDING HALP FREN, NO WORRIES. I'LL BORK WITCHU UNTIL THEY GET THERE

@d6 definitely one that goes and seizes the means of test value production

@d6 it's really very good. Also, it had enabled my favorite testing based pun so far (:

meta + politics 

I do think we have an opportunity to re-establish *how* we talk about things here, though.
My style of speaking about news and politics on twitter grew very unconsciously. I was/am one voice in a torrent. 5-6 years ago I was still in the glow of a political awakening. The rawness of me and others going through that played to twitter's advantage - fiery proclamations and long arguments are the "engagement" that is an ad platform's lifeblood.

@quephird@mastodon.social mastodon.xyz needs a groan button

I'm 100% back on my bullshit 

Interestingly, these gurdies lack a "dog", the loose piece of wood that, when turning the wheel faster, can be made to "bark". I thought French instruments of the time had them normally, but maybe this is a different kind! They're described in the Italian museum catalog, but I can't read it /:
