(gonna set up a private instance soon as it’s a good project/excuse to sink my teeth into Terraform deeper, but understand i’ll be able to “migrate my followers” at that time?)

@3TomatoesShort is there some kind of external speaker system/sound bar involved?

we had one with an unchangeable, extremely short time before it would “sleep”, if there was no sound… even in the middle of a movie with quiet bits… which sounds exactly like that

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@erik_erikson thanks for that insight erik

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@BajoranEngineer @erik_erikson that combination of complete asexuality and unbridled misogyny while constantly randomly appearing in Picard’s bed, and Janeway’s bath…

i mean if I was an omnipotent being…

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@BajoranEngineer @erik_erikson Q is definitely the single character of anything whose grown on me over time

especially after having just seen him pretend to be a 21st century delivery boy looking for one “Jean Luck Pickard?”

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@3TomatoesShort 😮 then maybe just watch The Sixth Sense, appreciate that after that major win he was convinced he was the “clever twist at the end guy”, and that every production since has had a steadily weaker twist, and now it just hurts

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@3TomatoesShort you can entirely make decision based on your feelings about every other thing by M. Night Shyamalan and you’ll have made the right decision

(i made the wrong decision because i was sufficiently bored and invited)

@DrRhysPockett and here i’ve been eating raw eggs in Australia for years on the basis of overheard, anecdotal claims that “we give our chickens so many antibiotics NONE of their eggs carry salmonella”

@unknownmetric tell me about it!

it had probably been 17 years since i used Windows

surviving by doing actual development on remote RHEL servers

and while they’re paying me double what i used to make, i desperately want to rage-quit every day, just because Windows

p.s. (in case you’re still on “the birdsite” and haven’t heard), Twitter’s charging for API access rsn, presumably in large part to block your access to all the Twitter -> Mastodon migration tools, so Time is Running Out

“Run, You Fools”

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@elaran @gretelsaid you beat me to it

i’ve been binging it

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@Fallimar still too shaken by how it’s only getting worser faster with no sign of stopping …

and anyway i’ve been screaming “decentralise everything you fools!” my entire online life, so this kinda feels like a Golden Age!

like in the Civ games!!

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

with all this “having to use the official client” bs (oh god, it’s AWFUL), i’ll probably pretty much only be reading birdsite on the daily in an attempt to discover which new followees have migrated

not sure how much longer i can put up with the ads and rage-inducing recs though

@ghostly_avery tell me about it!

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@lordmortis because Vic Fontaine is the best councillor Starfleet ever had

(may have just re-watched the DS9 ep where the senior crew have to pull off a heist to save him.)

have you typed or written “2022” when you should have typed or written “2023” yet this year?

98% sure Paramount+ subtitles are implemented in CSS

@gretelsaid that time i asked for a spinach and ricotta roll, and they said “one sausage roll”, and i was “no! spinach ricotta!”; reaponse: “yes the spinach sausage roll” … “is there any sausage in it?” … “no it’s just a spinach and ricotta sausage roll” …

“ … okay one please?”

[Ada Wright @hipikat]

@attentive damn those horse-people and pony-players ruining it for the rest of us
