@Gargron @darius that is.....a bizarre UX decision

Like I know finding unique usernames on the internet is getting increasingly difficult, but this doesn’t feel like its actually solving that problem—if anything restricting people to the FirstLast12345 format is reducing the total number of learnable usernames

Hyperlink Your Heart

@Gargron @darius Interesting, but people with these kinds of usernames generally only get dismissed as "bots" after also exhibiting disagreeable behaviour or opinions.

You ever have pictures on your phone where you can see your computer's screen from long ago, and you catch a glimpse of people you were talking to back then who are no longer around. Wild

@Gargron imagine finding screenshots ca 2006 from a "post your desktop" message board thread, it's like 7 layers of shock

Administrator

@Gargron Nope, but it's a lot of scary screens showing Windows XP, which is weird enough.

So many of my friends were, as I'd call it, consumed by relationships. And many of those who were not, moved abroad. It's depressing tbh.

Love to wake up straight into a bad mood

@Gargron It must be in the air... Like the whole air! Hit me all the way over here too!

FiXato

@Gargron they'd be waiting a long time before I'd let them in; I'd want to hear the full song first ;)

Once again, headache... Maybe it's the weather, it's thrashing between cold and hot all the time

@Gargron FWIW s a long-time sufferer from migraines, I long thought it was induced by the weather; but it turned out to be gluten of all things.

Acaii

@Gargron Rhodesia Rhodiola tea - it's a good adaptogen for changing seasons. Or panax ginseng.

@Gargron A neurologist who specializes in headaches could help. There are lots of ways to treat chronic headaches & migraines. Also, be careful of taking pain medicine too often, because it can cause rebound headaches.

@Gargron

wake me up when there's a new Yellow Magic Orchestra album

> JAPANESE GENTLEMAN, STAND UP PLEASE!

@Gargron
Listening to Point right now. Sounds exactly like an Yello album from 40 years ago. Just as expected.

It still puzzles me that a trend of drawing every day of a month must have a creator/owner/trademark...

Neurodivergent Clown Collectiv

@Gargron you think of something cute to do, it gains traction, you try to capitalize

Pedes the Eevee lover

@Gargron It doesn't. It never did. And it definitely doesn't need to have people who published their complied drawings for the trend screwed over by the retroactive "protection" of the trademark.

Flashbacks to 30-50 feral hogs

@Gargron

Yeah I knew 30-50 Feral Hogs before they signed their major label deal and sold out

If this thing actually allows people to regain control over their lost motor functions that's pretty damn cool.

@Gargron And/or fine tune control over prothetics (maybe even with touch/force feedback??)

angrysheep

@Gargron Can it help me regain control over my lost mind? #NeuraLink

Eugen Rochko

I don't even like Doctor Who anymore but I've seen enough Doctor Who to never want to implant any devices into my skull

@Gargron As we can suppose, Elon Musk is at the submission of cybermen, to conquere the world and transform all of us into them.

evolbug

@Gargron I don't even need DW to not want to own most of the technology we make, because I know how terrible our standards of quality are. It won't be malevolence that kills us, it'll be incompetence and stupidity.

It's not uncommon for tweets to reach HN frontpage but I think it's a first for a Mastodon post to reach HN frontpage and that's kind of a milestone.

@Gargron Mastodon is a legit alternative to Twitter now. It's not just a cool idea anymore. Toots are starting to change public opinion.

mattx

@Gargron bummer, I'll have to annoy myself with getting f-droid just to get fedilab onto my phone, and I don't exactly like f-droid's long update times

I was notified that @tateisu's Mastodon app "Subway Tooter" has received a warning from the Google Play Store citing user-generated content that "incites discrimination".

A Mastodon app does not host or promote any content. The user types the address to connect to. The responsibility of moderating resides with that server. So unless Google is going to drop Chrome, Firefox and Opera from its platform, this is completely out of line.

@Gargron @tateisu This is what Gab was trying to do, right? Create a situation where Google has to either allow them or ban all fediverse clients? Does anyone know if apps like Tusky who took steps to protect themselves have been treated the same or differently?

o01eg

@Gargron @tateisu
But Mastodon bans Gab server long before Google did it. Google just follows SJW leadership.

Eugen Rochko

Genuinely love stumbling onto a random site and seeing a link to their Mastodon profile in the footer

Mike Flugennock

@Gargron I replaced the link to my Twitter profile with a link to my Mastodon profile on my blog almost two years ago:

@Gargron my site is currently the most boring stub of a site ever but had to add mastodon first thing oliverbenning.com

Has anyone turned the vibing cat into an emoji yet?

@Gargron Sorry, I' m crazy looking for "lemon dogs" and I'm not sure what it means. What is it?
