Woke up this morning thinking about her.

Wishing healing upon all those going to her memorial today.

Question for Seattle folks: Where on the northeast-ish side of town can I get good Bahn Mi?

@mawr "utility drop"maybe? I feel like I should know but I don't.

If you just have one account on one instance, you may not realize that Mastodon federation -- the means by which toots are sent from instance to instance -- is not instantaneous.

It may be seconds or minutes for a toot to traverse even directly connected instances. This depends on server load and how many messages are in the queue.

Toot lag. It's a thing.

The more you know! 💫

@Azure I gotta get my ass to work now though. See you later :)

@Azure yeah, Communication Workers of America was (and still kinda is) a really big deal.

@Azure I think the belief that your company will be around in 50 years and you should design with that in mind is a big part of it. I also think people realized really early on that phones were fundamental necessary infrastructure, in a way people are only just this decade starting to understand about the internet, and then only kinda spottily.

@Azure But I attribute that more to differences in engineering culture over time more than anything.

@Azure Reliability and tech-wise they were exceptionally good, though.

@Azure Short version is that Bell billed the shit out of everything.

Awoo Space
