@tinymira @SteelWool do note though that it's entirely honour system with those making the bots and not an actual feature otherwise i wouldn't be able to follow people

today i booted up curmudgeonly

discord has a pay-to-win model and too many schmucks are falling for it

i don't understand people who pay for discord nitro other than to show off that you have money to waste on a company that runs a comparatively dogshit service with bugged as hell mobile ports and to create a caste divide with other people who aren't paying for it

the post was not near the mastodon-standard 500 character limit (which is not imposed by activitypub and therefore different federation software can have a different limit) nor are we paying per character on the internet

there's really no reason to shorten "accessibility" or "therefore", other than, ironically, hurt accessibility

in the context i'm complaining about t/f apparently (i'm assuming, since the source post had no clarification) means therefore, not to be confused with tf meaning transformation

@tinymira wow i've literally never seen anyone unironically use a11y as ally

it's neither accessible or being an ally llol

gonna start inventing words on my own and then calling people uncultured for not knowing what they mean

t/f means the fuck, right

a11y means ally right

i don't fuck with korps sex cultists

i sure hope everyone properly credits distressedegg for their avatars so i can block every single one of them

big "retweet for a free ipod" vibes

loving the vague "pixelfed is being threatened with legal action" without any more information, coming from the scrappy guys who thought carbon copying apple's photos app icon wasn't that big of a deal

i'm all for saying fuck you to big corp but the vague post is just FUD scrambling for free PR

fuck flatpak

found an ebay seller with these ones which have TTL, RS485 and RS232 which is wonderful, but it's a whole 10 pounds 😬

is there a single small board like these that has both an FT232 and a MAX232 together to convert USB to true RS232 serial, not TTL?

@thatKomputerKat that's weird, i'm pretty sure windows doesn't try to use the wifi if wired is already connected

what are you going to do with two interfaces in a desktop environment anyway

@thatKomputerKat i do want it to auto-connect, just not when i'm already on wired

does anyone have any remaining software/peripherals for the original Valiant Roamer LOGO turtles? Valiant themselves, being mostly direct suppliers to schools and not individuals, haven't been too helpful. we have one, but not the pen attachment, or the serial cable, and i'd like to put it to better use ​
