Okay, Mashable is out of my news list. Mashable has gone too far with their ads on their website. Full page overlays ads. Auto playing video you can't shut down. I try not to run Ad blockers, but your site is the reason people do. Bye Mashable.

I hope you all see why I wanted admin communication tools built into Mastodon, just so you know.
Literally do not have time, patience, or care, nor do other admins, to look after Discord, TeamSpeak (really?), Matrix/IRC, admins.town and the millions of other protocols I'm sure y'all wanna use. Tie it together or I might fuckin quit. Like literally.
I discourage admins from bikeshedding and balkanising based on favourites and going with what works.

If you don't like the term "privilege" here's an alternative:
"Unfair advantage."

sometimes I listen to high bpm dance music while I code and imagine I'm like a ｈａｃｋｅｒ in a club wearing a hoodie and shades while drinking dom perignon or something crackin' the planet
unfortunately my real life of figuring out how to sort rows in a table isn't even remotely as exciting

Dear Fox news,
I have yet to see any news about foxes.

@Gargron I had someone ask me *why* people must register before they can view posts in any Instance? I know they must register before posting, but it is a good question due to the nature of Mastodon.
I know there is the preview function as an alternative at http://www.unmung.com/mastoview.

Mashable covering #fyrefestival (which was supposed to be a luxury Coachella) spectacular fail:
* Rough dispatches from Fyre Festival sound like an Instagrammer's nightmare *
> "…Meanwhile, guests on the island have rushed to leave early. Most tickets to the Fyre Festival — which ran from $450 to $12,780 — included private flights to and from the island, which seems to have presented its own set of complications."

Trying to argue with some people on some topics is absolutely futile.
It just makes enemies.
I used to just argue with anything I saw that boiled my blood. I've learned that creating bad blood that way is a pretty bad idea. Like shearing a pig: a lot of noise for not much wool.

Nothing embarrasses a psychic more that throwing them a surprise party.
