@dekkzz76 Is it ok to use another pejorative for that service?
Not only could it be confused with a genitalia noun, but 'to twat' also refers to 'lamping somebody' - punching them so hard that they get knocked unconscious.
As such, it could make people feel uncomfortable and therefore counterproductive to wider inclusivity aims.
When you don't mow the grass in borders lining the roads. Currently wild roses are flourishing here.. other places see spectacular mixes of wild flowers.
Calling on any municipality to consider changing their practices. Give #bees and other #insects the upper hand. So simple, and it saves money too!
Pristine lawns is what some folks prefer in their garden. But #nature works best beside our roads.
I present my argument for using the name "Geminispace"(.org), taking naming perhaps a little too seriously. ๐
Truth be told, the work on Bubble has made me realize that I care deeply about trying to help the #Gemini community thrive, thus also helping the protocol live on.
@jens Would you mind making LinkedIn a little more pigeon while you are at it?

@jens ... if you train the AI model on LinkedIn sufficiently you may know.
In any case as somebody interested in multicasting, you should understand that HD capacities per kg are always improving at a faster rate than throughput of ICT.
As a consequence a fleet of pigeons with memory sticks will outperform the Internet.
Required for this job: 3 years experience in something that you never learned because you knew it was a bad idea, and which the rest of the industry is now recognizing was a bad idea.
@carcosa My favourite is having more years of experience for a technology than the technology has been around for.
My second round for my past NLNet project asked about a tool relevant to my proposition.
I managed to point out that the age inside the tool's TOML file preceded the life of the Gemini protocol it was meant to satisfy ;)
#Hyperbole is one of those tools which would benefit from more voices explaining its potential functionalities and how it provides such unique functionalities.
Having been active in political lobbying for many, many years has teached me a few lessons, that might seem weird to others.
Whenever a new proposal or plan pops up, I go into risk calculation mode. How can this be abused? How can this be subverted? Is it written that way because there is a specific interest that wants the exact opposite? This is a normal pattern for me. I calculate these risks and put a probability with them. And I start preparing plans to counter negative outcomes.

While working as the superintendent of a typing pool in the office of the Paymaster General in London, Mills performed as a honky-tonk pianist in the evenings and weekends.
She was spotted by a talent scout while playing piano with a semi-professional band called The Astorians, at a dance at the Woodford Golf Club in Essex.
In 1961 she released her first record, "Mrs Mills Medley", a single that entered the Top Twenty of the UK Singles...
Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company. Work began at 4 AM and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week. Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day and her mother who also worked with her said "She don't go to school. Works all the time."
Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk, and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.
He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.
These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public become widely aware of the scope of the problem. This resulted in the establishment of organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee, in 1904, which led the fight against child labor.
Itโs boggling that capitalism actually rewards the destruction of art. Seeing Disney become the second company to delete content in the name of tax write offs is just gobsmacking. Sure, Willow was bad TV. But should it really be good for a company to put it in a wood chipper?

Did you hear the story of Bob Monhouse (one of Britains largest film collectors) being arrested for being a film collector?
