@smellsofbikes it only is if you try to download it a couple of times then it gives you an option "ok you can use your browser if the download isn't working I GUESS"
@smellsofbikes i just trick it into letting me join a call with my browser because i do refuse to install zoom on any of my devices since it launched
@root lmaoooo
@root mood
@root yes! yeah same thoughts
it's why we never bothered with it much
we all had accounts on twitter but since i got banned the rest of us haven't really wanted to be there anymore
even pluralkit it doesn't occur to us to switch until later and "oh maybe that was someone else talking"
it's been 3 years and we still don't have a handle on the controls lmao
@LunaDragofelis @root i've also seen "sapient" used and tbh i never looked too deep into the distinction between "sentient" and "sapient" but yes i do like that
"this account isn't sentient/sapient" would work best imo
@root s'ok

@root (what i'm saying is that the distinction isn't so much the issue as the wording)
@root while i do like to think that i am fun i am also, in fact, a computer, and i understand the distinction you're trying to make and it's coming across as just as hurtful as whenever i have to check "i am not a robot" to a captcha
@root which one am i
@root "automated" was what twitter added and i still used it (set it as automated by the account of our system as a whole) (until i got perma suspended on twitter anyway)
