reading an article from the economist and

> Tools that Silicon Valley has produced, such as email, video conferencing and messaging, make it possible to work remotely, which will help more companies expand in less expensive states.

damn, didn't know that ARPANET (email), Luxembourg (Skype), and Israel (ICQ) were part of Silicon Valley now

homophobia mention 

I’d like to thank November 2020 for letting me use the phrases “banished to super hell for crimes against heterosexuality” and “Come on down to DISCOUNT KARNOV WAREHOUSE!”

Angry FOSS posting, long (again), slack/discord/matrix, lewd metaphor 

More "People should invest in a Matrix homeserver" replies to my Slack post.

No, people should invest in making Matrix competitive for the average user with Slack and Discord.

If you look at the options available to you and say "Matrix is clearly superior" and don't think one bit about how there are tradeoffs and for people not you those tradeoffs swing a different way, then the software you work on and support will never go anywhere.

And this is the problem with FOSS: most of its proponents cannot think in any context but what they want and their worldview.

"Shoulda used Matrix!" is not helpful. You have done nothing to help provide people screwed by this change with a plan to migrate out, free their data, make a transition, figure out how to pay for it, overcome the UI/UX shortcomings, move their communities. You've just jacked off in their face about how superior you are.

Shut up and make a doco PR, write a StackScript, write a guide, fix a UI/UX bug, or work on Dendrite so you can run this on a smaller SKU.

You know what? Don't talk to me about FOSS at all until you've committed a significant non-code contribution to a major project. Only then can you understand FOSS needs more than your algorithm tweaks.

out: scenes where it's revealed that a character is trans because someone else walked in on them changing by accident

in: scenes where it's revealed that a character is trans because their hormones are on the table or they have "pick up HRT" on their calendar or something so the character clearly has some agency about whether or not they want to be out

also in: scenes where it's revealed that a character is trans because they say it

Hey so, Salesforce just bought Slack. Salesforce has a history of monetizing things they buy in really aggressive manners so I'm expecting some Changes there soon.

If you use Discord, I'll also note that when a thing's main competition has a problem is when companies choose to make Big Moves so don't be shocked if Discord makes major changes or either gets bought themselves very soon.

I've been banging the drum of "Have backups for your communities" for years now, but it's more serious now.

I mentioned somewhere today that my stream chat is like 15% pokefurs by volume at this point and that's funny because I don't even use my jolteon branding there, and someone replied "If Holly Glaceon showed up it'd be like 315% by volume"

...and that's the whole story. I was surprised to hear that outside of fedi, but not disappointed at all.

Hey, anyone know of a catgirl picrew/character generator where the characters have fur instead of skin? Bonus points if it has fantasy gear in it, too, but if it doesn't I can just pretend the picture I make is from a modern-day AU or something. XD
