@schlink It's only _two hours_?! I end up using mine on battery more than I'd expected, but to each their own! I do like what System76 is doing.
psst hey kid do you want to get into the software industry?
here's how I did it.

please don't make my mistakes.
say, @shekkiesqueaks
you expressed interest in me writing that up about 2 months ago. it's been on my mind, so I wanted to clear it out.
@pnathan SeaGL is going on! Haha. I decided to volunteer this year and man the greeting booth, I love people so it seemed to be the right fit.
@pnathan Fair enough! It's October 6 and 7.
Here are some of the major features of the upcoming v2.0 as of now:
- Custom emojis
- New emoji picker
- New emoji images (twemoji)
- Emoji autosuggestions
- Ability to define themes for admins and select a theme in preferences for users
- No more private toots sent over OStatus
- When only one image/gif attached to toot, it's displayed uncropped in detail/public view
- New error page with elephant friend
I dunno, would you be happy with just that?
@MerClare Oh! @SalishSeaShore, gotcha. Hi!
Ah yes, the annual "Twitter announced a feature so now everyone remembered this website exists."
I want to get back into data-hoarding. I feel that I've become too dependent on streaming media. Probably should go build a NAS...
@pnathan are you planning to attend this year's Seattle GNU / Linux conference?
@schlink Re: System76, they look nice, but check the battery life. I think I'm going to go with an XPS 15 after the next CPU refresh.
KeePassXC is great! Swapped away from LastPass and haven't looked back.
I use Signal over Wire, just because I have a social network there now.
But seriously, Firefox 57 just hit the Beta channel, it's soooo nice.

I look over... see Chrome installed on her computer, I look at her.

@pnathan I was really excited for Bob Hasegawa, as he had concrete plans to move the city forward (like a municipal bank to loan funds for affordable housing etc.). But apparently Seattle doesn't like good ideas...
@pnathan Yep. The idea of memetic warfare (which way predates the invention of the term 'meme' by Dawkins) is that you spread *self-replicating* talking points.
So that it's NOT just the foreign agents who are spreading them; the stories, if juicy and appealing enough, catch fire and spread by themselves through domestic populist networks.
Foreign (and organised domestic, eg 4chan) agents tend to do *amplification*.
Protip: a Twitter account ending in a bunch of numbers is likely fake.

@vernepator_cur I could never bring myself to use Hulu. It's just like cable, paying for advertisements. It's disgusting.
And I'm about to delete Instagram...
