@amic If Popeye was there, it would be a "lettusk" wall.

@amic To cover up the Baby Bop underpants?

@clacke I don't think I've heard of #Wren before. I'm adding it to my "To explore" list.

(For some reason, some of your posts [like this one] don't show up in my primary account: @lnxw48a1 ... I don't yet know why )

@dwaltiz People do move their taskbar on Windows. For example, since modern screens are too wide and not high enough, I move the taskbar to one of the sides.

@clacke @moonman So "Kung Lao" (空佬 -- https://mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Kung_Lao ) is [something] "old man" ?

@flussence I'm going to try to persuade @amic to buy one for me, so I can build the best not-used-for-gaming gaming computer in the country.

For the record, at least on their HatThieves.es Pleroma instance, it wasn't a followbot. It was a single person that subscribed to thousands of random people. I know, because I had a short conversation with "ale" about the behavior. He/she believes they are helping federation by subscribing to so many people.

I tried to persuade the person to limit subscriptions to a number he/she could actually follow, but my Spanish isn't good enough.

@amic It is 62°F in my room. Not hot at all.

@dwaltiz
Good. As long as you don't become another snobbish, "we're so superior" Emacsian.

@amic @alayna Happy 72nd birthday. Oh, you’re not 72 yet? I guess you can save this birthday greeting until that year.

> the need to be perceived as good

That's cancel culture. If you're not perceived as good by your fellow cancellites, they'll turn on you.

@dwaltiz
Does "malaktiva" mean "works poorly" ?

#Racket #scheme #GUI

Just wondering whether and how a tag with non-ASCII characters (for instance #karaböcek ) displays, and whether it is normalized or used as is.

@trwnh Is this similar to "Math Blaster" from the 1990s?

I bought that for 2nd son (now age 32), and he liked it until he figured out it was a quiz wrapped in a game.

Lack of good search _is_ a complicating factor. Friendica and Diaspora both have partial solutions to the discoverability issue. Pump.io has (has?) a centralized firehose, where all public posts can be sent. All because socnets are almost useless if you cannot find people to communicate with.

On Mastodon being complicated:

If you're not a Tweetdeck user, the thousand-column interface _is_ complicated.

Some of the complications around federation come from trying to hide such details from users. If a user saw every contact as a full user @ hostname address, they'd quickly figure out that some people are using different servers / instances. It would change their expectations.

@amic Well, not directly on the floor. There was always the layer of #Depends.

#police #al #false_arrest

My first impression is "well it is #Alabama", but I've actually worked in that state a couple of times without experiencing anything negative. I felt like I could go almost anywhere without much issue.

I have to add that the last time I worked there, I was near an old closed-down Army base with an adjacent wooded area. I did not feel like it would be safe to wander in the woods ... but I don't think that was about race.

@sean OC? “Open Content”?
