@alcinnz I had this happen last night, with latex and a mysterious "b"

@icedquinn wait... do they not do that anymore?

I've been getting increasingly cli-based, so I guess my tech path has taken me out of the loop ...

@freemo history? https://www.npr.org/2023/11/13/1211781246/unrwa-aid-gaza-palestinians-israel

@freemo Ah! Vampirilogy! I didn't know that one

@freemo is that Bram Stoker vampires, or Anne Rice, or ...?

@freemo lol Is the "invite in" vampire mythos? I've been scouring the internet for leads and found some fascinating threads on demonology, but can't find an exact source for the "they have to be invited" concept

@freemo Well, Jesus, yes; but not the Dracula mirror thing, nor the clever demonology "invite in" crossover

@freemo 🤣 Mixing your mythos a little there. What inspired this joke?

@icedquinn lua? What about #golang, #rust, or (and I just learned about it) #odin lang

#humor #python and #CLang performance are largely synonymous to outsiders thanks to wrappers, but in a conversation just between the two of them, speed and errors may be characteristic. I like this double-jab

Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?

@freemo and now I am good on the mstdn.games server, so I assume that all QOTO is unlocked!

@freemo I might have my wires crossed, then

@freemo I could definitely be wrong. But I thought there was a week or so when he first left Musk's instance that he was actually on QOTO

@freemo I believe that qoto was one of the first instances he ever joined, but now is on universetodon.

Yeah, I follow him as well. But I remember what a big deal it was that he started on QOTO, and then shortly after he switched

@freemo I think that blocklist might be the same reason we lost George Takei after a brief spell

@freemo No explanation. I suspect it's a matter of just using a generic block list. I did let them know that I am in contact with the owner of QOTO and that he is very approachable. I'll give your handle if they ask. I just didn't want to seem too biased about QOTO 😉

@freemo The owner of mstdn.games, Britt, has been in touch with me and their international admin group will be looking in to it over the next few days.

@freemo I know qoto is just on some generic block lists (as per previous conversation with you), so hopefully it's trivial to remove us

Shucks. Looks like mstdn.games has #qoto on their block list, too. That is annoying. I've requested that QOTO be unblocked. @freemo
