The response to someone in distress after Apple (or any entity) locked them out of memories and documents and devices to the tune of terabytes and thousands of dollars cannot ever be “laughing in Linux”. Don’t be that heartless jackass. Just shut the fuck up.

“I hope this is a lesson learned and your next setup is on your own cloud with backups”

Fuck all the way off and die in a fire, worthless zealot.

Fuck, Randall, how could you. You amazing man, this is so much. ❤️

In Spanish the saying goes “no cuesta nada ser amable” (being kind costs you nothing) but I prefer the English version, “it pays to be kind” because the feeling of helping somebody else, the amazing feeling of making another person happier, it’s not just “this cost me nothing”.

@foone Funny thing, the XKCD comic "Wisdom of the Ancients" is itself 15 years old, now.

In case you needed some red today (it was actually more of a fuchsia. Thank the camera.)

@Tati felicitaciones!

I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.

@selzero @LanceJZ I mean it’s not like the government is bribing cajoling or threatening companies if they don’t curb and massage speech just the way the admin wants it, right?

@LanceJZ your understanding of things is very, very interesting. Muting you now.
@selzero

@selzero @LanceJZ “Freedom of Speech only concerns the government” is a very limited interpretation. Yes, true, but you’ll find the phrase used in many other ways, like here. Also, this (the Fediverse) is an international stage. I certainly don’t want to limit myself to reading “…as conveyed in the constitution of the USA” every time I see the phrase “freedom of speech”.

@selzero Excellent coffee, excellent cup, and I see you're also a fine turtle appreciator. Good morning.

@Nickiquote It's especially preposterous because several of them have the resources and riches* to _solve every problem right now_.

Elon: "I'll cure world hunger, just tell me the amount"
WHO: "Oh OK it's $X (vastly less than his net worth"
Elon: "PSYCH! NOT GONNA!"

*Or, at least, that's what the markets say.

@cmconseils “have you tried dieting?”

@cwebber beb best offer:

The artist / the art

#CatsOfMastodon

@cwebber so basically almost like New Horizons.

@kims Given the sepia tint, something about the style, and the fact that those are not the structures for serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline *or* cortisol, I think AI.

@selzero Look, he's taking a giant shit on the table so they bring another table to the table, it's the art of the deal.
