@joe @inthehands is there a coordinated effort that has a website? And/or server plugins that automate serving coordinated poison?

@dresstokilt @Rasp @jozeldenrust @c_reider also wondering who the U.S. is… are we the Ferengi?

@bruces “Someone who read error messages instead of dismissing them” - they’ve made that meaningless by making all the error messages say nothing more than “an error occurred”

@jenniferplusplus capitalism is always a denial-of-service attack on human potential; it’s not always this direct

@icastico @inthehands There’s an old quote that captures that well, something like “don’t report on the odds, report on the stakes”

@colo_lee @inthehands hm. There may be a distinction worth making about these guys cosplaying as part of pretending to be what they aren’t, and people in other contexts cosplaying as an expression of who they are. But the word “cosplay” doesn’t make that distinction

@blogdiva so who’re we supporting in the primaries?

@Andres4NY @blogdiva I've mainly been thinking about supporting primary challengers for the 7 who voted for ICE, but I'd love to have some kind of list of endorsements of genuinely for-the-people candidates nationwide

@dansup great! I hope someday we’ll have re-shared images include alt-text and attributions by default, and this sounds like a good step in that direction

@dansup will the supported metadata include alt text?

@whitequark @puppygirlhornypost2 yeah, and the places where I get software typically don’t have them at all.

(`apt-get send-like` would be weird)

I like the idea of making posts about things we use and how they’re useful and tagging the developers, and that might be easier for me to write than something like a thank-you note

@puppygirlhornypost2 @whitequark the thing that stops me is having to come up with specific words. When I can hit a like button, I do

@javerous @thomasfuchs @ggete almost as good as “oh look, somebody 3D-printed the save icon!”

@RowinSpeez @thomasfuchs I remember the thing about sending a text message costing more than getting data from Hubble. I had a cell phone then, but I wasn’t doing any texting - and I was still occasionally burning CDs

@whitequark makes me think of a dragon, atop a pile of gold

@ATLeagle @flexghost the Berlin Wall came down in 1989-90, I have no idea what he’s referring to 1981

@fesshole the most baffling brand name is still airmail. Wearing a shirt that says airmail makes me think you’re a fan of the post office or something

@whitequark … now I want my wallpaper to be made of pointer-tracking eyes

@bruces … so how do I set up an agent that will accept payments and just keep them?
