@Ahuka I think that's what I'm trying to say; just a small event set in motion a large cascade of things that were only obvious in retrospect.

@Ahuka Oh I know, but we've also been laying the groundwork for a massive blow-up for decades. I listened to Hardcore History's build up to WW1 (and the rest of the podcast) and it painted a lot of parallels from then to today. I'm just wondering what it will take to set the chain reaction.

Shout out to the Hilton Hotels rewards system for sending me a user number that rivals an international phone number as an image.

I might forgive it if it actually didn't look like 1990s "we can't format shit on the internet".

Hire a designer. And an a11y expert.

Remember, kids, all it took for WW1 to start was a measly assassination of a royal heir:

@HackerRadioShow @Rob_T_Firefly @TheGibson @djsundog Well, when folks are paying extra to have the radio removed from their vehicles maybe they'll figure out that what folks really want is diametrically opposed to what these conglomerates are shoveling out. But they haven't learned with Jack stations and they haven't learned with ratings that rival a weak podcast audience so w/e.

@Rob_T_Firefly @TheGibson @HackerRadioShow @djsundog Pretty sure the ideal radio station for corporate radio shit-stains is a one-room studio with transmitters all over the world, playing ads. And that room maintains itself.

@viciousviscosity See also human condition. (big feels)

Mycroft finally opened up it's backend code using the AGPL. They cover their reasoning here:

They should make USB-C T-shirts so they fit no matter which way you put them on.

I always found it strange when teachers would require us to do math in our heads because "you might be on a desert island and not have a calculator with you".

Have you met me? The chances of me being anywhere without some form of technology that can do basic calculations is pretty much foreign to me. And if that's the case then doing 4 function math is the least of my worries.
