@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??)

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

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.

@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.

@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?

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

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?

Eugen Rochko

Anyone here planning to watch Devin Townsend's virtual concert on September 5th?

babe caller

@Gargron seriously considering it, especially with samus playing!

Eugen Rochko

It's actually fucked up that it's almost September and starting to get dark earlier. I feel like there were only a couple of weeks of summer since the last winter. And I remember the last September too well. At least then I got to be in Athens.

@Gargron (almost) Anything to get this year over with

@Gargron I hate hot weather, so I look forward to September (and October!), but I do miss the daylight. It's a compensation, I guess.

Although it has no meaning in 2020, I love baseball but hate Summer, love Autumn but hate football (the American kind).

As my Scottish Grandmother used to say, "It's aye something."

Admin Rhys

@Gargron we've been having temps of up to 111fahrenheit so I'd rather summer be over.

I read one Justice League comic in my life and I remember it was something about the Martians replacing air on Earth with something that doesn't allow open fire, and I can't find what it could've been online. Anyone know what storyline that was?
