CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Elizafox my spirit animal

@shidokidoki @JenJen so now that it's A it's for ASS?

@JenJen jokes aside, there's one thing I'm curious about: have you perceived a difference in your discalculia under medication? Or is that unchanged?

@JenJen «I'M GOING TO DRAW *ALL* THE FUCKS!»

@CiaraNi @agturcz @antygon thank you for making me aware of it, it hadn't come across my timeline yet.

@CiaraNi @agturcz @antygon oh wow an excellent take.

@joXn @benfry @cstross @mjtsai that's a very weird way to write WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS

@sauc3 I'm more of a fatalist in the sense that I believe things go in cycles, so the world as a whole will recover at some point in the future, but I can't guarantee it'll happen in my lifetime —but I'm not going to let that get in the way of doing my own thing without getting dragged into these grifts 8-)

@sauc3 let's cry on each other's shoulder for the pain of seeing things happen and knowing how they will end yet being unable to do anything to stop it.

@sauc3 (sorry, finished writing before your edit, yes, we are in agreement)

@sauc3 I'm not joking, I'm pointing out that these grifters just jump from grift to grift with great ease and no damage. Society has failed to build antibodies against this kind of behavior.

@sauc3 I mean it's not like anything was done with the blockchain and cryptogrifters either.

@donni just make sure to give sporadic signs of being alive or they'll start nibbling

@jaffathecake @joshhunt

(and obviously Mozilla follows suit, because why are they there if not to suck up to the bully)

@jaffathecake @joshhunt it's like the XSLT situation in reverse

Google: we want to drop XSLT support

web developers: we really want you to keep XSLT and possibly upgrade support for v3 of the standard so we can use it with JSON too

Google: OK, we've listened to everybody's opinion and nobody wants XSLT so we're dropping it.

@raccoon those are in-game graphics?

@bloodravenlib WTF

@unlofl @aeva also XHTML2 has some glorious features.

@faizalr there are less Nazi friendly alternatives.

Here you can find references to the Substack Nazi problem as well as alternatives to consider.

You Should Probably Leave Substack

You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

@Natasha_Jay this actually happened to me. I went to throw away our paper in the paper bin, and found it was chock full of books. I called up my family and we retrieved them all. A few years later I read something similar in the news. Now this. It seems to be surprisingly common, all things considered, and I'm not surprised. Probably related to some old relative dying and the descendants not knowing what to do with the books, I suspect.
