@ShekinahCanCook One thing to keep in mind about Asimov's laws is that his entire story series was about why those laws don't work: no simple set of rules can encapsulate all behaviour. It's not true for robots any more than it is for humans. With this reading in mind, Asimov's robots make more sense: he put up some pins just to knock them down.

@smigol @nixCraft the 'kill furries' thing is a little played out, it might be a joke but let people have their thing in peace without 'joke' death threats eh?

@atomicpoet @absrb I wonder why. It seems to me that federation would be all upside for them - much greater reach, and not all instances would block them.

@apps Oh, thanks for the option to disable gif autoplay. That drives me bonkers. I just started using Fedilab and hadn't run into it yet, so you're ahead of my annoyance curve. :)

@stanford I remember they changed the recipe a few years ago - more milk powder, more sugar, less nut.@allinone0

@Rasp It's a weird request, to be sure. Stores are pretty valuable. Maybe they want the insurance money?

@stanford We've found that Domino's is not a terrible deal, overall. The two of us get three solid meals out of it - two slices and cheesybread the first day, three slices on two subsequent meals. It compares pretty favourably to a lot of other options. $28 after tax, so it's just under $5 a meal.

@stanford We have had to get more disciplined with calories lately. I'm like 8kg overweight and haven't been exercising much, and it's starting to hurt my back and causing a bit of depression.So we portion things a little more aggressively now.

@slashdot In other news, Nebula is probably some of the best money I've ever spent. Well worth every cent.

@taylorlorenz I do think revenue-sharing with creators is a good idea, though I am skeptical of Twitter's ability to sustainability do it, especially while actively chasing off the audience of those creators.

@john I wonder if "conditional federation" might be something worth exploring. A server policy that says "allow federation with servers that have [x] policy", one of which is anonymous signups.I guess it would require remote servers to honestly report their policies, though.@evan

@Wolven Can I ask what HOA fuckery led to this? It sounds like you've got a story to get off your chest.

@Wolven That sounds infuriating, I'd say you're fully justified in being angry. Not that you need my permission or anything. :P

@futurebird Oh, that's gorgeous. Where'd you get it? If they have a 2L model I'd probably invest in one, our ceramic teapot is very heavy and I'm always worried about the handle breaking.
