Uh, did octodon.social go toes-up? 💀
@XenonFiber Oh, it's not just me, then!
Sexy motherfucker shakin' dat ass, shakin' dat ass.
@fobo Contemplating just deleting my whole computer and internet history. There are too many obligations lurking in folders and DMs and to-do lists and Slack messages and auto-reminders and...
Ugh I am paralyzed by Too Much To Do.
@sophia Have you ever read Tanith Lee's "Biting The Sun"? Its premise established consciousness transferred into bodies designed as desired, with the ability to change bodies when bored with the last.
I always liked that idea.
@starbreaker I have awesome coworkers...but sometimes I want to snark about silly and petty things! :joy:
Too many of my coworkers follow me on all my social media for me to adequately subtweet about them.
DEV-1: I've been into Scrotum development for years now. It's awesome!
DEV-1: ... what?
DEV-2: It's called SCRUM development.
DEV-1: *turns tomato red*
@Guide42XYZ Oh, I like that. I know a /lot/ of companies have been abandoning the performance review system.
I hate peer performance reviews. Nothing like having my coworkers anonymously tell me all the things I'm doing wrong.
@bcrypt It's strange: a lot of the people I follow on birbsite who tweet, there, about many diverse and interesting subjects, have come here and only toot about Mastodon here.
I'm finding myself without much to say here, because the conversation is so one-note. And that's a shame.
who are some good people to follow who aren't just tooting about Mastodon itself or Mastodon in-jokes all the time?
@farrar That is the worst (and that is actually what I am trying to stem: the reply-all drahms).
Like...most of you have been using email all your adult lives. What part of not using reply-all do you not understand? How are you not aware of the misery that will follow?
Just...just don't.
(Also, subtooting > subtweeting.)
It blows my mind how frequently I have to explain to adults who work in tech how to use bcc.
"Dangerous Ruling On DMCA Safe Harbors May Backfire On Hollywood"
Excellent @mmasnick megapost sums up what I and a bunch of other folks have written about a pretty troubling legal opinion.
@munin Yep yep yep. Exactly.
@munin Sure. That was always the concern with grocery VIP cards — that they would sell your purchase history to, say, your health insurance company, which would then raise your premiums every time you bought Twinkies.
But with Amazon, the fact that your purchases are so broad over purpose and /time/...it isn't just Twinkies, it's Twinkies and bluetooth-enabled blood pressure monitors and books about managing blood pressure and compression socks and so on.
