listen here you little shit, we have a USER STUDY that proves that those who don’t even think of “serving staff” are the most virtuous humans. no you can’t see the data why would you even ask that

for those who hadn’t seen before, FWD is an account that showed up on the fedi not too long ago (3~4mo?), and has been acting as a Mouthpiece (and semi consent manufacturing outlet)

across a number of “polls” (with forced answer paths) they’ve had their replies absolutely blasted, and across literally hundreds of replies they’ve dodged the point so hard they might have invented a new sports class

earlier today I attempted to (quite lightly) check with them if they understand why their responses aren’t all-liked. it didn’t take much of long for them to go off the rails

that one in which the person behind/running @FirefoxWebDevs drops the mask so fast it looks like a magic trick: gallery link

thread by @self, toots by myself and others. the poster managed to keep their civility for quite a while until I dared™ to highlight their lack of a reply outside of UK 5pm, at which point they immediately ramped up

(and based on some screenshots I’ve been sent, he’s also been doing the classic tail-darvo moping elsewhere)

zirp years go brrrrr

I’ve just got 2007-fridge class fuzzy logic, RIP me

can still point out to our Esteemed Poster that bitcoin has entirely failed (at scale) at anything transactive outside of being a prospection asset for those that can speculate

indeed

apache and nagios were top of the heap for years, and yet

thankfully temporarily free

god I can’t wait for the subsidies to end

We can turn it into a horror-themed exhibit park. And sell vip tickets for using some of the more particular roams as rage rooms, just smash all that nonsense up

Spacex, walking the path of something solved literally 4 decades ago: blows up many rockets

Yeah, super successful. As a grift of course, because that’s what it is

once again, the facade of the “whoops, bad company” falls to the ground the moment she needs her hands to fill the pompoms instead of hold up the venetian mask

also, real weird account name on that account, wonder if it’s a sock

Aha thanks, will check

been giving it a whirl for a few weeks now and greatly enjoying it. one or two minor snags I still need to solve (such as back-kill-word not working in search, just haven’t looked into it yet) but otherwise fairly pleased

and I no longer have to see the stupid iterm2 update nag every damn day

config.keys and hot reload are nice

taps mic

attention, attention please

the phrase “chud achievement gallery completitionism” has now been coined

that is all, thank you for your attention

git commit -am yeet is such a rich pasture

this post just took me on a short mental journey of how nice that’d be but also how far we’re off from achieving it

what, you mean the various people who compared this to cryptocurrency and its ridiculous hype and excesses had a point? shock, horror

well that’s a lovely furball :) congratulations on finding a new buddy! got a name?

that is one hardcore high tech spoon and really, really cool

thinks that he should be in charge of all branch merges because he doesn’t understand the release process

…I don’t want you to dox yourself but I am abyss-staringly curious

as a youth I’d acquired this at some point and I recall some fondness about some of the things, largely in the novelty sense (in that they worked “with” the desktop, had the “boss key”, etc) - and I suspect that in turn was largely because it was my first run-in with all of those things

later on (skipping ahead, like, ~22y or something), the more I learned about the guy, the harder I never wanted to be in a room as him

may he rest in ever-refreshed piss
