@darius that's some quick maffs right there!

@darius def remember that jingle. this sent me down a gum commercial rabbit hole that led to Big League Chew, the chewing gum from hell itself https://youtube.com/watch?v=BCawfG0CFvo

@darius now it’s in mine too and I didn’t have to press play >:(

@darius Hilariously, before I actually went and played it, you know what immediately sprang to mind for me? The Mentos theme! I guess they are filed next to each other in my head

@darius

Bro-th

it's like broth

but for men

@darius goethe teens

@darius "the second Great Vowel Shift started, as far as we can determine, from a single 'toot' by a noted jester of the era"

@darius yeah. its sucky. and its not even just learning new icon because with all of their icons having the same colors a key part of my processing ability is taken away.

Just use an IMAP client for a consistent experience ;)

@darius Nude?! They're clearly wearing clothes.

@darius Maybe it's because I'm used to the other version but this really throws off my sense of the rhythm

@darius I noticed it, but I never knew what to make of it. I didn't know it was considered a mistake.

@darius aaaaaa you broke it

@darius best of luck!

@darius suggested pairing: listening to the new Autechre while staring into the cronenbergian face-ear-fist-lump at the margins of half of these images

@darius This is the worst dating website ever.

@darius This whole time I thought the Uncanny Valley was a visual thing. Weird how pasting in some short text snippets pushes it to the deepest depths ever encountered.

@darius On and off for the last few years I've looked for a keyboard with a predictive algorithm you could pre-seed with an existing corpus. So you could have autocomplete helping you sound like Victor Hugo, Jules Verne or Hunter Thompson.

@darius I have this same exact experience.

@darius

Mine forgets my name too. I have it set up to suggest in both German and English which can be amusing.

When it makes a mistake, the usual response is "Damn you autocarrot". It has not learned autocarrot very well but I am trying to teach it.

The real challenge is writing when the suggested word is never the one you pick. I really do want to have distinctive writing and not just words that can easily appear from a typing machine. Improve your prose by never taking suggestions!

@darius haunting of Bi Manor :bisexual_flag:

@darius where the ghosts all drive old British cars (and are thus often late for haunting people due to mechanical problems and breakdowns)

@darius Haunting of BL Manor is exactly the kind of thing I would spend 60 hours playing

@darius roe vs dorade

@darius this sounds like something a super user would do!!! 😎

@darius Yay! Good job!

@darius For those used to Python, I will often run `python -m platform` to do something similar.

A year ago I wrote this article on how to be a tourist at library archives and it feels like another era...

@darius it says friend.camp instance not open, there a list of hometown instances anywhere?

@darius OH NO

@darius Youre so right

@darius 423 users on this instance. Time to stop trusting me.
