@lain @redsPL "predominantly white user base" やれやれwwww

@lain with the amount of money she has, she can darn well be a high school girl if she wants to

@eal superseded by rickrolling, which is the same joke but funnier.

@Ocean22 Is there any word on what it's like? I have yet to see any mention on Japanese Twitter, and that doesn't seem like a good sign.

On the occasion of Debian's expelling "weboob" (or whatever it is... not software I'm familiar with), today is a good day to remember the parable of the anglerfish. http://benjaminrosshoffman.com/construction-beacons/

@Ocean Do we really want it to be on the repo anyway? Not everything needs to be, and having Debian's fingers on the distribution of Nekopara might not be a good thing. Debian has always been one of the more gratuitously political of free software entities.

@Ocean Not even when it's used in the sense of "idiot"?

probably will never have a harem of office ladies to type my reports 😞

People condemn governments, charity donors, etc., for not putting money into genetically engineering catgirls for domestic ownership. But supposing you actually wanted to contribute to such a project, where *exactly* would you send the money?

@meireikei Okay but it isn't a "social network" either. Those kinds of small groupings exist in the context of larger ones. And the Mastodon software in particular, with its huge fixed-size dependencies, absolutely is a waste if you set up a whole instance for only 10 users. Possibly even 100 - it is *big* software.

In Part 3 of "The imagination gap," I cover the actor/character distinction, lolicon, and a few other matters. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/353

Many years ago, the parents of a friend of a friend of mine nailed her modem to the wall because they thought she was spending too much time online. Dialup modem, and "online" meant on a local IRC-like dialup chat system, not interconnected with a wider area network.

Wile E. Rinpoche delivers his famous sermon on Dharmachakra.

@lafnlab @jk I think many of them were pleased that they had finally figured out the truth, putting them ahead of all those people 100 years further into the past who'd had it wrong.

@Shamar Time for @maradydd 's piece "When Nerds Collide" again. https://medium.com/@maradydd/when-nerds-collide-31895b01e68c

The imagination gap, part 2 - tax protest red pill movements, and Donlad Trump. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/351

@freedomboxfndn I'm not sure I can imagine doing social networking *worse* than Facebook.
