@tk Reminds me of the stove analogy in Anathem (2008) by Neal Stephenson (“Part 7: Feral”):

“We, the theors, who had retreated (or, depending on how you liked your history, been herded) into the maths at the Reconstitution, had the power to change the physical world through praxis. Up to a point, ordinary people liked the changes we made. But the more clever the praxis became, the less people understood it and the more dependent they became on us—and they didn’t like that at all.”

#8bitbigband publishes #WiiSports theme cover for #NintendoWii which they performed at Benoroya Hall in Seattle a few weeks ago. https://youtu.be/E6xEzTdcpk4 #VGMusic

@hailey I wish US Congress would simplify #copyright and say media over 25 years old is in the #publicdomain. #25isplenty

Confession: I use #Mozilla #Firefox's deprecated search text field as a secondary clipboard for when Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V is not enough.

@kaia Free as in Free of Service Level Agreement.

@tk @glitter Why do motorcyclists look like they're time travellers from the future?

Throwing this out into the void, but I've never been able to get #VLC on #Android to work with #Samba file sharing. I've used SSH, Syncthing, and Bash scripts as workarounds for years, so I never felt the need.

#Hololive is #SesameStreet without the educational component and the puppeteers's identities are supposed to be kept secret because adult viewers are more likely to be dangerous predators than child viewers (who generally can't operate vehicles or buy tools to kidnap people with).

@waldoj Since the US has the tradition of dropping the maiden name of women in favor of their husband's family name, I am inclined to use a woman's first name since divorce is a thing and first names rarely change.

That said, I'll use whatever name she prefers.

@evan On such short term notice with lack of consensus for a candidate change? Yes.

@tk Oracle of Reasons and Oracle of Rages.

@tk @glitter What it if *did* somehow help? That'd be even scarier.

@tk By the way, here's a YouTube playlist of Japanese company songs. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnBGAvr5b4msrs6PrdXqgax7x6fu4JY2c

@tk Yeah, mediawiki tables can get tricky. >.<

@tk Adapted for the meter of the opening of Rufusʼs Welcoming Ceremony

```
You are now the company's face,
You maintain their rules to live by,
Shine your shoes, and be spotless,
Keep a neat haircut,
Wear a coat and tie.
```

@catsalad I'm just quietly horrified the catʼs paws are contaminating countertops.
