Me: open-source is the best
Also me: I will die before I let anyone look at this shitty code
aha the french are gone quick let us discuss using english as the language of commerce
maybe the real conspiracy was the friends we made along the way
What I sorely miss is lists, to make it easy to sort toots to separate streams. If it doesn't exist yet let's see if I can add it. Makes it easy to only follow politics/specific subtopics when I have the time/energy to do so.
A moratorium on the use of the phrase "people think x" without explaining who people are--eg, saying "more people don't believe in climate change" rather than "people recently endowed with massive power and a monopoly on violence don't believe in climate change"
I teach tech and I'm often asked why I don't teach some allegedly time-saving proprietary tool/environment/whatever. the answer is that the risk of that proprietary tool just ceasing to exist are really high, and when that happens, the time I spend developing curricula against the tool goes up in smoke. by contrast, notes I wrote for, e.g., python text processing are just as good today as they were ten years ago. over the long run, I think I save a lot of time by teaching only open source tools.

We're all like Lenny Bruce, except without the actual threat of being arrested for obscenity.
So I guess we're really not like him at all.
Before the introduction of the Facebook news feed and the short-lived Twitter public timeline, I don't recall anyone ever insisting on their right to everyone else's attention span when it came to their shitty opinions.
It's already bad enough that people willingly read mine.
An alternate timeline where the elder statesdogs of progrock convinced the acid jazz kids to join in and started forming supermegagroups that lasted for hundreds of years like dynastic artists' colonies, sometimes spending decades perfecting the emotional pull of a single fifteen-minute groove.
Lady just walked by my house and told her dog "that's not the right place" so naturally I'm imagining she has a nemesis in the neighborhood and makes her dog poop specifically there.

It can be helpful to have a #translation #bookmarklet #tool to translate automatically from any #language to your primary one.
I have an English Google Translate bookmarklet, so if I am looking at a webpage in any other language and then select the bookmarklet, the page will automatically be translated into English. If your native language is another one, you can install a bookmarklet for it.
