I badly want Disney to own The Lost Boys so that Keiffer Sutherland can claim his rightful place as a Disney Princess

In an attempt to engage with some other humans with a common interest, I finally joined a discord instance. (I think they call it a "servers" to give the illusion of ownership of a thing). Of all things, why did some tech bro decide Slack was what normal humans were missing from their lives?

..and, just like slack, I tried the app under the assumption that there would be some non-trivial benefit over the abysmal web interface. Shocker: there is not.

Do any of the android #mastodon apps fold last line hashtags under the images/preview? I've tried two apps this morning (tusky, and obe with a shark logo), and neither do it. Without it I'd rather just stick to the Web app. #megaladon seems OK, but no hadhtag folding and the Web app seems to make better use of screen realestate. Hats off for seamless login to my instance though (#tusky presented a login screen with no autofill)

@chris @aral I hadn't heard about Wayland breaking accessibility, that is unforgivable! As someone that didn't think moving a window with a mouse was actually the most important thing in the world, I remain perpetually bemused by the cost/benefits trade off of Wayland. A collosal waste of effort, with trivial gains and epic losses.

@aral @chris Wayland seemed like the wrong fix. Initially they dismissed tiling window managers as a model, and that's why I am stuck on X11. I have very poor eyesight (though not blind, enough that I can't pass a driving test). Programmable window managers (xmonaf for a while now) help me build a practical desktop that works for me. When Wayland started the entire approach was dismissed. Fine for a niche product, crap when your blessed by the largest vendors before problems are solved.

@benjojo doesn't even have a hit counter! Where's the banner? Glad to see big blocks of centred text is still a thing.

@benjojo sounds like a perfect use case for LLMs ;) Fire up the relentless positivity engines.

@benjojo this is the second Gmail/Google exodus reference I've seen today. Have they announced something stupid?

@benjojo when my dad did his apprenticeship with BT he worked on dishes on the outside of that tower, and the tower at Crystal Palace.

@mjg59 I'm just grumpy because I never cared about any of the things Wayland fixes, but I do care that I've had a nice, usable, a credible working xmonad config for 11 years , and porting xmonad is, AIUI essentially impossible (if not literally, then by virtue of being an unapproachably massive task). Old man hates change. Not much of a news story.

@Nonilex all fine words, but if it's all the same, we'll take it personally.
