A Landslide of Classic Art Is About to Enter the Public Domain

(In the US)

About freaking time, even if it’s just going to be a year at a time. Still!

thinling about internet arguments 

why do people in internet arguments feel the need to throw around others' dox...? it's irrelevant and an ad hominem, not to mention how it's rude at BEST

i heard that adobe has a solid date that they're gonna drop the adobe flash plugin by, but i gotta wonder, what exactly is a site like neopets (yes, they still use flash after 20 years) going to do about that...? :blobthonkang:

Arguing with transphobes reminds me of Wendy Cope's great poem, "He Tells Her":

He tells her that the Earth is flat—
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.

The planet goes on being round.

Favorites(/Likes/+1s/etc.) on social media posts were originally intended to give non-verbal positive feedback to the poster.

Then people starting using them as makeshift bookmarks, so they could review them later. (You couldn't originally view your Favorited posts on Twitter; it wasn't until 3rd-party apps started keeping track that Twitter added it in the main site.)

Now I'm seeing people baffled that people use Favs to give feedback, since they're "supposed to" be for bookmarking. o_o

TWITTER HEADS UP: If you're still on Twitter, be aware that third-party apps will BREAK on June 19 because of changes Twitter is making to the API, and there's nothing app developers can do about it. apps-of-a-feather.com/

d&d is cool but i feel like homebrew is even more cool and fun because that makes it entirely plausible to play a space qilin who eats gremlins busting into area 52, where body-snatching, zombifying worms under research by the us government are tested on prisoners, one of which is a terrorist group leader whose son is currently also having high-tension, questionably-gay relations with the vice president.

... or i would if my group's canon could allow a qilin. the rest is very canon, at least :p

Pinafore is an alternative web client for Mastodon that I'm releasing today. The goal is to make a lightweight standalone web app that can plug into multiple instances, with a UI focused on speed and simplicity.

Pinafore is still beta-quality in places, but it's already the main client @ElfLord and I have been using for the past few weeks. I've been working on it since the start of this year. Hope y'all like it. 😊

Admins don't want to read your private toots, but they have to be able to because otherwise private toots allow some users to secretly harass others or to conduct illegal dealings without the admin's knowledge, and under many laws the admin will be responsible for enabling the harassment or illegal behavior even if they didn't know it was happening.
