System Requirements:

And with that, I'm going to take a break from this project for a few days! But do let me know if you've successfully used it!

Quoting something I said in a Tumblr reply:

"the problem is that I'm allergic to overly smart devices, I break out in screwdrivers"

@Patricia YAML isn't bad, you just need the right accessory on your laptop to debug. :blobfoxcomputerowonotice:

Goofus: ‘<X> is open source! Get involved, write a patch yourself! It’s easy, isn’t it? No, you don’t understand our codebase, rewrite everything!’

Gallant: ‘Hey, this is useful feedback. Mind if I add it to the set of issues we’re tracking? And is it okay — only if you have time/energy — if I ask a few questions to see where you’re coming from?'

This is a perfectly normal human town full of normal humans doing normal human things. Please move along, there is nothing to see here.

It's really nice to wake up and see the local timeline moving again.

Save money and your mind with this one weird trick that all corporations hate!

Are you ready?

When the #BlackFriday sales start overwhelming you, when your email is full of auto generated messages urging to purchase the latest products, take a deep breath.

And say "No".

Give the 🖕🏽 to mandatory consumerism and the capitalist class.
Go for a walk, eat something nice, hang out with a friend. Or do nothing.

The main thing is #BuyNothing on #BuyNothingDay.
You'll feel great!

Heads up, right-wing trolls seem to be launching a "report all the leftists as spam accounts to get them suspended from twitter" campaign.

If you're on the list (screenshots downthread), it's a good time to change your username or go private.

Right winger are organizing a false mass report campaign of over 5000 Twitter accounts in a blatant attempt to deplatform the Left
