“Gentlebeings?”
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.
“Gentlebeings?”
This is a big nothingburger because it doesn’t have a cute name, a marketing campaign, or a silly logo. /s
How do we keep having to have these legal discussions every decade or so?
Yinz shut your boxen down?
Google pulled it off with GChat. All told, those of us who run our own XMPP servers aren’t even a rounding error when compared to everybody who uses Google Chat, FB Chat, Slack…
Interoperate with it. Add proprietary extensions faster than other implementations can keep up with (at least two orders of mag). Render software that isn’t yours unusable by suddenly cutting over to something else internally; let connection attempts continue for a while to frustrate users while simultaneously releasing your own. Then cut away all points where legacy connection attempts could be done.
I’m not seeing a problem here.
Power, mostly. And testing the strategies they want to use at home to refine and perfect them.
It’s not that. It’s not getting complacent by eliding the semantics of what you’re doing. It’s being consciously aware that you’re doing something that could possibly fuck stuff up.
Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.
And make sure they hear about it in such a way that it seems interesting. The fediverse doesn’t use any basic marketing plan techniques, and enough people are conditioned to them (after a lifetime of growing up surrounded by advertising on television and in their spaces) that anything which doesn’t fit that template scoots right by.
I don’t, because stuff like that is a little too touchy to wrap in a cute shell alias. If I’m going to update a box, I’m going to update a box. If I’m going to reboot a machine, I want to be reminded that I’m going to reboot a machine (which in turn is a reminder that there are other people using stuff there and not to fuck their days up without at least a little warning).
Are they going to unfuck the layer management UI?
It may as well be a passive-aggressive depopulation strategy. Until it’s not passive anymore, anyway.
Practice safe hex - always wear a write protect chip!
I get gay guys telling me that I’m bad for their reputation rather a lot.
Power cells are batteries. I keep forgetting that not everybody’s worked for Ultium Cells.
Unless somebody specifically installs an explosive charge in a device, it’s highly unlikely that modern power cells will detonate. If you want to get technical about it, they’re incendiaries. They don’t explode, they burn vigorously.
Yup. Been there way too many times. “Too gay to be straight, too straight to be gay.”
Odds I’ve been hearing for Trump being re-elected are about 3.4 to 1.
That’s pretty telling.
