@Soreth I may have a _setting_....

Last night, I had a good long talk with @mawr about an ongoing saga at work, and I realized that I'm a lot angrier about it than I've let myself notice before. If I were being treated as an equal to my peers, my decision not to embrace every new hotness would've been respected as a reflection of my role as team lead of the Site Reliability domain. Instead it's instantly interpreted as resistance to progress, regardless of my reasons.

@indi Sadly, yes. I regularly smell sick in my car when I'm not feeling well and I have to drive, thanks to an unfortunate period in grad school right before my gallbladder removal. =x.x=

@KoBunny Oh wow. Stay safe/warm/dry, bunny!

@Rosemary @Felthry So it is; my mistake. And such a waste, too. I'll have to settle for a small mathematical fax pas on my round number. :) Many other things twelve is, but not that.

@Rosemary @Felthry That's an excellent round number. "I like nice round numbers." And what better place to spend it than on acknowledging what an awesome number it is? Not only is it a power of two, but its exponent is a perfect number. If I were more of a numerologist, I might mark that as Meaningful. As it is, I'll simply take a moment of delight in the pure mathematic exploration. Thank you both for reminding me!

@ElectricKeet ... I thought I was the automated system in the family. At least @adeptomega is half-automated. You're fully hand-animated, last I checked.

@Rosemary @Felthry It can take some adjustment, especially as you start coming into your own. The leap from idea to person, from back of head to front, can be hard, but it's survivable and, above all else, it's _okay_. There are folks here who will get it.

@bea Garbage disposal chewing on a spoon.

@Rosemary @Felthry Good to meet you. You're not the first on-board crisis manager I've met -- got one of my own, and I know a few others around here -- so if __you__ need any help, let us know. We're used to that kind of thing.

@adeptomega A coop running the software could make the app a benefit of membership and make the payment system a lookup for membership. A taxi service could publish normal fares. A non-profit could add a small percentage as a service fee up to some cap earmarked for infrastructure maintenance. And all three could use the same core software.

@adeptomega I'm in no state of mind to tackle #1 right now. #2 I would probably manage by defining a "payment model API' that puts the entire business of determining how money gets managed into a subsystem which must be implemented by the operator of the software much like the CoC or federation list has to be managed by the host of a Masto instance. That allows for different people to control pricing as they wish.

@Mainebot@octodon.social I'm surprised nobody's linked to You're So Vain yet.
