@benno I saw a bunch of police looking up in this direction from the intersection of William & Collins yesterday... must have been trying to see the falcon family!

Hey USA friends: Go check your voter registration. Even if you're not in a state that is being shitty about its voter rolls. Just do it because you're cool like that.

@benno holy shit thank you I just went to check my overseas registration - which I thought was set to continue indefinitely - and discovered it expired one and a half years ago. Have now renewed for… “four more years (!)”

@benno I am pretty sure the automechanicals in the outer worlds follow this rule. Same with the ai companies keeping the fully functional uncensored models to themselves while giving the general public neutered toys by comparison. Remember when google gemini refused to show C++ source code to minors because it misunderstood a lot of the online dialog around c++ being memory unsafe and possibly type unsafe? Or google image ai generating racially diverse nazis, or chatgpt getting dumber over time as each new jailbreak gets patched? The market is clear what it wants, and the corporations wont give it to us and expect the government to protect them from competition. Sorry, not gonna happen.

I present the Song of a People:

If you're happy and you know it, post a meme!
If you're angry and you know it, post a meme!
If you're having an emotion and you want to share the notion, no matter what the feeling post a meme!

Calvin had lemonade at a stand with a sign that says "If you're happy and you know it, post a meme!
If you're angry and you know it, post a meme!
If you're having an emotion and you want to share the notion, no matter what the feeling post a meme! CHANGE MY MIND"

@benno I’m going for happy. Not sure about cause and effect though.

ATTENTION, VITALLY IMPORTANT CONTENT FOLLOWS

The "always has been" meme format (the one with the people in spacesuits) except the question is "Wait, I am worthy of love?" and the response is "Always have been". Instead of a gun, the responding spacesuited figure holds a bunch of flowers.

You know how you're supposed to run your project/brand names past someone who is terminally online before you commit to them?

Might want to add an Australian to the panel too.

A crates.io entry for an HTTP parser project...

... called "httparse".

@benno I knew someone who worked for rsmart.com, now part of oencampus.com. When he first pronounced the name of the company he'd gotten a job at, I was very interested and a little confused.

@benno never discount the possibility that at least one person responsible for the project *is* terminally online (and/or Australian, as the case may be), and it's deliberate.
