@thegibson there is nothing wrong with deadnaming a corporation that changed its name to hide from its misdeeds.

@jmorris frisbee mini-golf.

@mathowie that's a skirt hanger.

@ben @evan @mattl yeah. It's basically just money laundering.

@evan @mattl @ben which is a little weird, especially to say out loud, since the individual campaign contribution limit is $3300.

@dansup wait, so when did this change, because I really thought I was running a recent test of the new one. And I'm a paranoid software engineer.

@dansup did that change in the last few weeks?

@dansup okay but can we get a "never crop my (or others') photos", even/especially in the feed view? How does only Google Photos get this right?

I don't understand these people. Either you think this is a parking space or you don't. Either way the sidewalk isn't.

@evan lol, no idea how I would even tell.

@vwbusguy @gordonmessmer @mattdm @forgejo also they're still the only forge I've seen make statements about xz+OpenSSH, and git forges are really serious ssh users.

@mcc @whitequark ... Which sounds ridiculous, but the part of me that knows FAT filesystems have 2 second granularity knows someone will do it.

@vegard Greg has decided to burn the sea and is assigning CVEs without respect to whether anything can actually be exploited.

@evan haha, best typo again.

@xabean people do not understand email addresses. At all.

@ahl Most of the systems running them fit in a pocket, of course they only have one user.

Who knew, Clarence Thomas's $267k loan from his billionaire friends wasn't really a loan at all, it was just a bribe!

@evan probably not already, but not any of these "no" answers. At some point he'll make some desperate disingenuous offer, but it won't matter — even if it weren't far too late when it happens, he's the target.

@jmorris but are you also using AI to simulate the computer?

@Lyude I'm pretty mixed on ST:Disco, but suffice it to say I don't think they're doing "Star Trek", and the soft reboot after the first season was pretty weird.

I'm mostly liking "Strange New Worlds", though S02E08 and S02E09 very much feel like they're worried about cancellation and having gone fishing for an audience with a net. I also think "The Orville" is surprisingly traditional Star-Trekky, despite its creator.
