@mekkaokereke isn’t Billie Jean a song about denying paternity? I can’t hear it any other way, and I just can’t appreciate it as a result

@mekkaokereke I have a mixed race friend who had a southern redneck (his words) grandmother. You can’t ever hear stories about her and think white women are innocent. She was racist to her own grandkids.

That, and who is in all those pictures spitting on the Black girls integrating schools? White women.

@thomasfuchs …how do we stop even looking at the dog? Am I reading that sign right?

@thomasfuchs welcome to town!

That’s quite a drive.

You here for xoxo like everyone else?

@compuguy @BeAware easy to say, harder to do.

It is healthy to have a default, good server. It is unhealthy to demand people do a bunch of homework before signing up.

The correct answer is that our default server should be good. And if it is not, that’s what has to change.

This has always been the downside of how a lot of FOSS is actually run: a single person, or small oligarchy, maintain absolute power over a project.

In the beginning it seems like a good idea. But if the project takes off, it always ends up held back by those who built it.

Just as mastodon is dramatically more popular, its leadership refuse to listen to those who want to drag it into the future.

@thomasfuchs can a place with no atmosphere smell of anything? 🤔

@thomasfuchs those are great

@thomasfuchs pretty weird that the palindrome is in decimal notation rather than binary, though

@thomasfuchs finally a reason to use a 192.168 network above .2

@thomasfuchs @hart that laptop looks off by a decade or so

@thomasfuchs I know Americans did. Did anyone else?

@beyondmachines1 @HauntedOwlbear but everyone also hates emails

@thomasfuchs you say tomatum, I say Bibendum

@thomasfuchs I’m utterly mystified that everyone who owns a convenience store or fast food restaurant with a parking lot is not adding charging stations. Everyone knows gas is a money loser, and the real money is in crap purchased while waiting. There’s more waiting, so more profit to be had.

At the least, this is a great chance for the US to finally up its vending machine game. Bring back the automat!

@thomasfuchs and she had to get more ammo to finish the goat off. That was the most ghoulish part

@thomasfuchs @codinghorror but Thomas, what if it would be inconvenient if we did not drug them? That seems like a pretty good reason too

@thomasfuchs …why?

I am definitely prone to them. Sorry you’re having them too.

Not sure what I was supposed to get from the video tho…

@inthehands @iamabot well ok then. Guess I’ll meet you down at the bottom 👀
