@jwz So my tiny DNA Lounge is in violation of the rules in the Compliance Handbook?

@pixel

@WhistlerInTheDarkAges @aaron.rupar well, if not eggs, it definitely affects the availability of bread and circuses.

@arclight As someone who's moved across geo-fenced borders, the last thing I need is to be unable to use some little device because it woke up in another country and now I can't download the app on my new phone.

@ariadne that's one of the things I liked about fedi when I first checked out this mastodon corner of things. It really reminded me of irc. Something about it being more raw and direct than any of the centralized algorithmy social media attempts. The feeling of "this shit can't possibly function" that I got while it just continued to function in its slightly anarchic fashion.

Magic.

@skinnylatte "Tastes better than Heineken" is a pretty low bar, though.

@SallyStrange I bought the US Congress on Temu for like €13,99 with a coupon.

@gminks IBM doesn't have documents from the war because "most documents were destroyed or lost during the war."

Like when the Nazis started burning documents to destroy evidence, IBM's documents were also somehow lost. Could be a coincidence, but....

Added that book to my list.

@ryanc no option for black hoodies with logos from various severe Klingon and Romulon death metal bands?

@hacks4pancakes maybe just being on X will be enough to discredit infosec people in the future?

Google decided to let me know today that I don't want to pay for YouTube Premium anymore. €25.99 per month?

Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't kill it after the last bump in price last year.

I've been moving most of my music back to my home Plex server anyhow, so I don't really even need YouTube Music anymore.

#DeleteGoogle

@ryanc Ah, I thought maybe you were buying something specific. I see what you did now. :D

@ryanc I'll ask - which thing?

@aral

Really? Oh, my bad there,. The #JustBeNice tag did induce a sort of dysphoria, but I paid it no attention.

@heydon @gvlx

@heydon

"I'm really impressed by how much the screen reader has continued to offer the same utility release after release"

"It's really notable that where other products might seek to just comply blindly like the sheep they are with accessibility laws and requirements in their commercial products. Where Fedora really excels is in going their own way, despite big government over-reach"

At a guess.

@gvlx @aral

@gvlx

In all seriousness, how do you phrase "this package in your distribution isn't working at all for anyone in any circumstances" in a positive light?

The companies involved in creating distributions aren't charities. IBM, Canonical, RedHat, etc, should be working on this already.

#TonePolicing #NowNowJustBeNice

@ryanc That's obscene. I think I'll use that from now on.

@lookitmychicken this public voting system is made to be gamed. It shouldn't even cost that much to do it. A bit of research into historic voting patterns together with knowledge of which countries could be explored most efficiently, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could push the vote from bottom ten to number one for a pretty reasonable price.

Then you could host in your brand new stadium in what used to be Rafah. Hypothetically.

@lookitmychicken oh shoot, I headed to bed too quickly after the votes were done.

@ryanc the latest gender: bok choy?

Congratulations / good luck
