One somewhat encouraging observation for folks with a genuine sense of community on Twitter: pretty much all the Freenode communities survived. A little bit was lost, and there was a big transition cost, but mostly the communities found new homes and continued.

@djm @jkottke I’d read that the other way: if “theft from the gods” can be read as a stand-in for “discovery”, these stories are about the discoverer becoming a folk hero because they shared it.

We’re cleaning out what had become our “junk room” to turn it into our niece’s bedroom. Apparently some CD jewel cases had fallen behind the desk and into the baseboard heater and created some impromptu modern art.I call it “the illusion of persistence of data in a universe ruled by thermodynamics”.My partner calls it “thank god we didn’t catch fire”.

This is a dumb bit but it was worth the effort.

@drmaddkap @Flux I can’t tell for sure in this quality photo, but it sure looks like he’s wearing his traditional wristwatches, too: three Omega watches at once, two on a custom band.

@misty @neven My take on this is to *be following* fewer people (I did this on Twitter, too, and it worked well for me there). But I don’t think *following* is the problem, I think it’s the hesitation to *unfollow*. It too often feels like a personal slight, but it shouldn’t. Follow and unfollow liberally.

Parenting win:Me to the kids: “who wants to pick a soundtrack for the drive home?”5yo: “I want Elsa. No! I want the one that goes ‘dum da dum da dum da dum’.”Me: “I’m sorry, kid, I don’t understand what song that is. Can you give me some words?”5yo: “No words! It just goes ‘dum da dum da dum da dum!”<three minutes of increasingly agitated loops of the above>Me: “Wait… are you talking about the Doctor Who theme?”5yo: “Yes!”

My nephews (15 and 16) report that the current big phone fad at their school is… chess. Apparently “everybody” is playing online. I’ve then seen this on the phones of unrelated teenagers hundreds of miles away.Cool! But anyone know what’s up with this? What was the seed here?

@lanodan @alyssa A couple excellent references elsewhere in the replies to big foundational contributions from trans folks, but for wlan specifically you may be thinking of Hedy Lamarr, who was cis.

@simon @Meyerweb There are a lot of jurisdictional questions with these sorts of programs, but I did not expect them to obey the courts of Faerûn.

@stux @estheria Our 1996 farm pickup is on its last legs and I’m dreading this aspect of the replacement process.(That… and losing stick shift.)

@julienxx To be clear, this is a Mastodon client, not an ActivityPub implementation, yes?

@lowqualityfacts @estheria It’s about trust. We know the moon is of peace; the sun you need to keep an eye on.
