@Erika today i have somehow actively opened mastodon twice, once in each monitor, at once
@AngharadHafod @llamasoft_ox i remember visiting the defunct IBM sim in SL a couple of years ago and it was a wonderful ghost town. in a corner somewhere i found a few pieces of clothing packaging, meaning someone with edit rights to that land went there to unpack something for their avatar, likely some time after it went abandoned. wonderful environmental storytelling
@llamasoft_ox i can't tell what's more impressive, the companies being suckered into going virtual in second life, or the repeat offenders who fell another time for the metaverse
i'm the only true transgender woman in the internet because i have equal hatred for all of the programming languages, makig me purer than all of you
@abortretryfail DB9 serial, i mean

flash was too easy to make functionality in so we needed to limit the scope of what runs on your phone so that you can only interact with things that are approved by The App Store (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_on_Flash)

maybe the thing i need is to whittle down the already anemic number of people i talk to. maybe this is why hermits are a thing. i understand now
i'm going to go back to a windows 98 computer connected to the internet and whoever i cannot reach because of TLS1.2, good
i'm not gonna say flash is the end all be all but to say "it's good that flash died and HTML5+JS reigns supreme now" is an incredibly bastard take
it's so funny and not at all stressful how i'm mutuals with so many bootlickers for the current disrepair of computing
