Has fedi engagement picked up recently, or am I just posting quality content?

@ramsey Well, one of your threads made the front page of Hacker News, so there's that ...

@ramsey My latest toot has 1543 interactions (and still coming in every few minutes). So it seems like it to me.

@tjdraper Nice!

@ericmann I used the word “viral” exactly twice in replies to my GPL thread (and not at all in the main thread), and one dude on HN is complaining about how “he just keeps throwing out the buzzword ‘viral’ as if it means anything.” 🤣

I’m happy to have provided a few moments of superciliousness to those on HN who really needed it today.

The folks on HN are going to have a field day when they find out what I’m up to next. I’m going to crank “Who is this guy?” up to eleven.

@ramsey My favorite comment on there by far is this one:

“This guy seems to fundamentally misunderstand open source”

You should get a screenshot of that one on a tshirt to wear to conferences 😂

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@thomas So, I made a shirt and ordered one, but I’m not sure how to share the product page with others, so here’s an image of it. 🤣

@ramsey Ha that's amazing!

@ramsey @thomas awesome! 🤣

This gives the same vibes of this from @bagder, Curl's creator: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/112313816741180729

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@alessandrolai @thomas @bagder That’s amazing! Maybe I should cross-stitch it.

@ramsey "who is this guy" oh hacker news 😂

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@ramsey oh, nice :)

I hope this generates some answers in the genius hive mind on hackernews. Because I have asked myself a similar question!

@ramsey @ericmann The degree of confusion about what the GPL and free software are for in that thread is mind boggling.

@ramsey “This guy seems to fundamentally misunderstand open source.” Hacker News reminds me of this quote from Dazed and Confused: “I get older. They stay the same age.”

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@shiflett Alright alright alright

Animated GIF of Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, saying, “I get older. They stay the same age.”

@janl Apparently, it’s mostly just me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40218030

janl,
@janl@narrativ.es avatar

@ramsey that website, man.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@janl I think I’m fine with reading the comments today. It’ll be fun to read about what an idiot I am for not understanding FOSS licensing. 🤣

@ramsey heh ;D
