@CobaltVelvet Looks great for confusing cyborgs. "Oh no, macroblock corruption! My video downlink must be faulty."

@count Ah, Wiki says it has raver influences. That's why.

@count The GIS results for that are... Uh... My eyes don't know what to make of it. It looks vaguely 90s...

If cyberpunk was a real world fashion, what would it look like?

@sina Also, what if you want to reply to those replies? You can't. I suspect I miss out on many interesting accounts because I can't see everyone who's replying.

Here's a thing that bugs me about federation: Replies. You don't actually see every reply when you view a toot thread. You only see those replies that are visible to your current instance.

@frankiesaxx @TheMysteriousEm In my inner voice, it's still en-ginks because it's snappier than en-gin-ex.

@frankiesaxx @TheMysteriousEm For years, I pronounced it to rhyme with sfinx. En-ginks!

Me, casually: so, uh, how *do* you pronounce nug... ing... N-G-I-N-X?

@TheMysteriousEm : you mean engine x?

Me: uh

Em: there's gin in it

Me, comprehending: en-GIN-ex!

Ah, ha, ha, ha

@urwitchygothmom You do?

@tmy @mcread I have yet to see refurbished iPhones for sale anywhere except in the United States.

How do you people NOT drive in constant fear? I keep seeing traffic situations as a passenger that scares the bejeezus out of me. People walking into the road, other drivers stopping far too close in intersections, high speed motorway manoeuvres in cramped tunnels, you name it. I'm not even driving and there are days when my commute from work gets a bit too exciting.

@Hanfyren I know the history and myths surrounding the QWERTY layout. I used to be fluent in Dvorak typing at one point.

Still pretty happy that I got a brand new iPhone 7 Plus from the repair shop. I had sent it in for repairs due to ear speaker distortion and a dubious charging port. I thought they'd fix it but they just sent back a new phone. I wonder what they do to the broken phones...
