It even has the DADE/KATE stomping end sequence.

YOU HAVE NO HOPE OF RECREATING THESE TWISTED NIGHTMARE PLATFORMS

Jonty Wareing (jonty@chaos.social)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 01:09:16 JST Jonty Wareing How dare you suggest I finish a project before starting another one! Starting new projects is how I distract myself from the upsetting heap of projects I haven't finished.

Jonty Wareing (jonty@chaos.social)'s status on Thursday, 06-Jun-2024 04:28:05 JST Jonty Wareing If you are the person who abandoned a tent full of crap at EMF: We are going to find you.
You have enraged a group of people who enjoy puzzles and suddenly have a lot of free time.
Run.

Jonty Wareing (jonty@chaos.social)'s status on Thursday, 18-Apr-2024 15:55:51 JST Jonty Wareing We urgently need more @emf sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.
Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!
Find out more here: https://www.emfcamp.org/sponsor

Jonty Wareing (jonty@chaos.social)'s status on Friday, 29-Dec-2023 10:38:44 JST Jonty Wareing @james In all seriousness: I love going to camp and congress is a truly unique experience, but I can also sit and complain about them all day. I have an entire page of notes about stuff from camp this year that I want to make sure we don't repeat at emf.

Jonty Wareing (jonty@chaos.social)'s status on Friday, 29-Dec-2023 10:38:39 JST Jonty Wareing @james It is a bunch of Europeans yes, but that's because CCC is a massive German organisation that does a wide variety of things - they have over 8k members and are an absolute force to be reckoned with in terms of digital rights and privacy - we have absolutely nothing comparable in the UK, and arguably neither does any other country.
