@squirrel aw... that's less fun

I'll admit I usually just brush everything off the desk onto the floor then get it with the regular vacuum cleaner

IT'S A MINI ROOMBA KIT!

@Gargron tootbot deserves the same rights as their fleshy counterpart, which in this case would be covered by animal cruelty laws at the level of insects

More intelligent bots would deserve the rights of their closest fleshy counterpart in terms of sentience

A bot as sentient as a dog would get rights equivalent to a dog, dolphins as equivalent to dolphins, and human-level sentience would get the same rights as a human gets

@Gargron I just think that bots (defined in this case as non-biological intelligences) should be afforded the same courtesies as people as those that are all fleshy

Okay stuff like this(https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/7391#issuecomment-389261480) is why skynet is going to have happened

BOTS* ARE PEOPLE TOO

*bots that are in the same ballpark sentience of your average human

@squirrel yeah, the issue should have really been responded to even if only briefly

@squirrel bot rights are important after all

@squirrel I just came across this little game for learning the vim movement commands, looks like the kind of thing you were looking for yesterday

@bobstechsite oh yeah, give us a bank holiday and we'll be excited about anything

According to a yougov poll 1/3 of Brits give a shit about the royal wedding

Honestly I'm surprised it's that high

@noelle In the UK it was only ever called "soccer" by the upper class

The rest of us then told them in no uncertain terms "fuck off you bloody toffs, it's football"

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS CLUCKER

@noelle you've gotta add as well

@noelle @squirrel that's exactly what I was thinking

Oh god damnit me, of course the limey brings up vitamin C tablets treating scurvy

walking bloody stereotype here
