the best part of 500 characters is you can use the even more fucked up zalgo text setting

For the record, "ironically" participating in the editor or OS wars is just as obnoxious as sincerely doing so. It may even be more so, because you obviously know you're being an ass, and continue to do so anyway.

I saw a guy today at Starbucks. He had no smartphone, tablet or laptop. He just sat there drinking his coffee.
Like a psychopath.

I'm suprised how many websites and online services have no provision to actually delete your account.

Sometimes it's just time to move on, and we shouldn't have to keep tracking credentials for zombie accounts forever just in case we need to assert ownership of them.

Welcome to mastodon. Here's your courses on French and Japanese, a "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS" bumpersticker, and a fresh pineapple for some reason.

The Yellowstone Caldera, a massive underground volcano in Wyoming, has long threatened America's safety. In 1734, the Secret Founding Mothers established a pact with the Devil Himself: the Caldera would never erupt, so long as each year the country sacrificed some of its geography—its mountains, gorges, and plains—losing them from space, time, and memory.

The landscape used to be wild with natural wonders. But they are running out. And The Devil, with his Caldera, is waiting.

MATRIX (2017): Set in a world like ours, one where everyone has seen THE MATRIX (1999), except that afterwards everyone became viscerally aware that film was true—all of humanity is living in a simulation.

More a documentary than an action movie, MATRIX captures the effect of this revelation on society. There are three kinds of people: those who didn't care; those who wanted to escape to reality; and those who fell into catatonia.

Spoons are an object of ridicule and dissent. They are banned.

Visited the RSS memorial today. After all these years, it's still amazing to see the lightning hit it—every hour, on the hour—and then watch as the sparks ripple out to the aggregator towers at all the cemeteries that are still subscribed.
