@oceangrunge @Canageek emacs is the equivalent of the '73 Buick whose owner is always working on, and is never used to drive further than a mile away

@Canageek @oceangrunge For me, anyway, it's the ultimate exemplar _par excellence_ of how Unix tools are designed to be tinkered with, not to be actually useful.

@somarasu @staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com What did you think of "Van Helsing", I'm curious to know? that also was a Sommers-directed film

@somarasu @staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com Oh, I'm being a bit confusing here...Stephen Sommers was the _director_ of the all the Mummy films starring Brendan Fraser.

@luluberlu @oceangrunge *laughs aloud* I will.

@oceangrunge just imagine the horror of a virus that caused people to enjoy using emacs

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com @somarasu also I thought Oded Fehr was hot. I'll just admit that too, in the interest of full disclosure.

@somarasu @staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com Now I feel compelled to admit that I somewhat liked the first Stephen Sommers "Mummy" film, although I wanted more from it than the film delivered (I was hoping for something a _bit_ more like "Raiders of the Lost Ark"). The second film felt like it was mostly redoing jokes from the first, but I didn't hate it.

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com @somarasu How does anyone succeed in making a film _worse_ than a Stephen Sommers film? The mind reels.

@Elizafox @Aerdan I'll take public political whims over private corporate ones, any day of the week you can name.

@Elizafox @Aerdan So the answer is...? I can't deny your point, but no private entity is ever going to recognize serving the entire public as a duty without being forced to.

@Aerdan @Elizafox I have to admit, I don't see how emulating public utilities, which have worked for decades if not centuries, can quite qualify as the "worst idea EVER".

@maunzikation @kara_dreamer and I have been using "lewd" in CWs in deference to what seems like accepted usage, but the word is perhaps slightly oblique and we should simply say "sexual content" or something.

well! I've decided to leave cybre.space and come to computerfairi.es to be with my good friend and childhood self @Alyx. I do hope everyone is having a good time of day, whether morning noon or night. *tailswishes*
