@technomancy Absolutely. No clue how widespread it *really* is in the US, but https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bowdlerize seems to be a thing, from the EU perspective.We do have few of those in German as well, but it's actually quite rare, people would either curse to the full extent or not at all.

@technomancy Oh sure, I meant "foreign language cusses" in general :) Of course my example was the exact opposite.

@technomancy My first thought: "I had that all the time" but I was thinking of non-powers of 2... 24MB, 96MB, 192 MB, 768 MB, ... :)

@ehashman That does not really fit any use case I ever had. Except that one time we were doing deploys with Debian packages. I've since been pretty much against packaging my own software in this way and rather do custom deployments.But I hope it works out for you :)

@thomasfuchs I had never thought about this, but apparently the Amiga still was able to interface with the mouse at that point. Maybe the others also *could* but chose to completely ignore HCI input...

@technomancy I for one would prefer whisky in my jars.

@fribbledom Thanks for getting "Rainbow in the dark" getting stuck inside my head *again* after I had it yesterday... :P

@noelle Not disagreeing with the lack of understanding, but I've been able to click the popup away since.. quite a while. They're nagging, but not restricting usage. Or maybe that's a *secret* feature of my default settings uBlock Origin?

@technomancy I think your point wrt the end users isn't very strong. If you're using Clojure for fun it doesn't have to "make sense". I've never used it for anything serious and the downside is that I need ~128MB RAM more on my VPS than when using something else. Sure, with hundreds of users hosting costs might be significantly higher, but then I still like the Java ecosystem for deps. It's not "bad enough" to be entirely discarded on that point I guess.

@ehashman @technomancy I'm not disagreeing in principle, but in my example: if your pastime includes writing websites which (when not using fancy FaaS stuff) are started more like once per week (or less) I really don't care about startup times there if it's fun to develop. My dev environment doesn't need 5s to start...

@noorul I'm not willing to dedicate as much effort to host a single-user instance (reasonably quick updates, SLA, etc). I also think Mastodon is too complicated of a piece of software for that use case. It might be fine for "bigger" instances, or if you share the workload. Pleroma looked better but wasn't fitting for me.It might be a bit better if there was some decoupling of "identity" and "instance", like with email - I can just move providers at will. Not (easily) doable with this.

@noorul Yeah, what I meant with the identity is. "I can move on without loss of history, as with email."Of course I self-hosted with my own domain (which I still have), but it didn't feel good.I mean, of course I'm now on just some random big instance and might lose this, but as of right now it's absolutely worth the tradeoff of not having to babysit my instance.Maybe again in the future, or if I decide to go full-in on the fediverse :)

@fribbledom Anything that doesn't use "Masto", would prefer focusing on the fediverse and not just "the biggest software stack".
