thanks for your service! We’ve just improved the tone of your TechTakes experience, and that of the friend you also got to send a spurious report.

are you sure about that

Meme coin apes: RFK Jr has your back (x.com)

I’m very aware of what the average retail investor has been saying about the need for greater transparency in our markets, stronger regulatory oversight and tougher penalties for market manipulation and criminal behavior. My administration will support the Ape retail rebellion and enact aggressive Wall Street reforms....

Your history shows no reasonable prospect of posting any better. This way to the egress, sir.

it’s important to note, btw - and I didn’t know this until a couple of days ago - that Justice Mellor was an engineer before he went back to law school. Engineering degree from Cambridge. He is a technical guy and understood every tech detail in the trial. Can you imagine sitting through Craig Wright’s arrogant technobabble, knowing immediately what utter charlatanry this is and not being able to say so until the end.

so cultish that even the LW comments worry it’s cultish - don’t worry about my feet bleeding

i’m just thinking of how every web page seemed the same for a long while there cos everyone was just using safe defaults

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

just that you had to actually look at what the specific thing was.

in such circumstances, the “brand” is really “thing with trendy website”

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

it does! Every reference link gets submitted to the IA

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

The archives aren’t automatically added to the reference text in the articles. There’s an IABot you can feed particular articles to that will add it to reference templates. Also, if the IA archiving fails to work, too bad. (e.g. how it can’t even archive Twitter any more.)

i’m sorry, GPT-3.14159 has correctly placed your post in the creative writing section

Has anyone used Mattermost? Has anyone switched to Mattermost? How’s hosted Mattermost?

It passes the tickboxes of “actually open source” and “you can just buy hosting”, but I don’t know how it goes corporateishly

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

if we got it it’d be the corp offering - if the data could be exported to an open source instance.

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

correct

but he at least was smug about it

“don’t come into our loungeroom and piss on the floor” should be simple and obvious, and yet

some of these guys get in touch with me from time to time, apparently i have a rep as a sneerer (I am delighted)

(i generally don’t have a lot specific to add - I’m not that up on the rationalist gossip - except that it’s just as stupid as it looks and frequently stupider, don’t feel you have to mentally construct a more sensible version if they don’t themselves)
