wow I figured out what I meant by "clicking on a toot the wrong way"

on this instance, if I click in the empty space below a toot, it opens it on the remote site, as opposed to clicking on the text, which expands it

This makes no sense so I filed it as a glitch-soc bug

fake AI ethics: how can we stop the acausal robot god, who is real
real AI ethics: don't fucking make killer robots for your police department

it's silly that I have to do it this way but it's also very effective

however, glitch-soc/mastodon should skip the dark pattern and have a "No" button

UI: pweease can I send notifications to your desktop?

Me: you know what, since you asked so sweetly and persistently, sure, I'll change my mind

UI: really?! oh happy day!

Me: hahaha just kidding. Always Block

"mastodon federation isn't hard to understand, it's just like e-mail"

I've never clicked on an e-mail the wrong way and ended up looking at it through the sender's e-mail client, which I can't interact with, instead of my own

heck. got the name wrong of the conservative mayor who tried to destroy pinball. Fiorello LaGuardia.

sexual implications. the one good tweet from my old private twitter 

[this actually happened to me, in 2019]

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry
Her: ...
Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin

It's okay to mourn twitter-the-network-not-the-company, is my takeaway from this excellent article, because what you're mourning is the people: pwnallthethings.com/p/twitter-

The Walking Dead is the worst fucking pinball machine designed in the last 30 years

I think Enrico LaGuardia should come back from hell just to destroy every copy of that machine in particular. It would be thematically fitting

@ct_bergstrom I’ve been trying for over three years to get accountability from Google Scholar for the way they block trans academics’ name changes. They simply do not communicate.

@roncli so it's great that it exists in theory but I don't plan to post here in a way that would make a remotely usable RSS feed

@roncli the scope of a Cohost post is so different from a toot. I can't imagine wanting to follow mastodon via RSS

it's thanksgiv-DING, where we are thankful for virtual EM pinball tables! chat raffles pick the table. twitch.tv/arborelia

If you have an RSS reader and don't use Cohost, you can still follow my Cohost feed: arborelia.cohost.org/rss/publi
