as if to prove that I'm not the only daft sod in my family, my dad made a little sign for the hedgehog cafe

important masto security fact 

While masto admins are conceptually able to see your DMs in the database, I'm pretty sure nobody knows how it works well enough to actually do so

meta, twit "celebrities" 

@FerdiZ no, just the latest influx of twitter celebs

meta, twit "celebrities" 

Welcome twitter "celebrities"

Quick reminder, you ain't famous here, nobody cares about your BRAND, follow the same etiquette as the rest of us, this ain't twitter

Now enjoy your time here

@colon_three petition to remove the caps lock key and put a Ctrl key there LIKE THERE FUCKING SHOULD BE

Shadowrun, violence, teenager death 

@Jo to be fair to them a child singing in the middle of a bunch of charred corpses does sound a lot like a prelude to weird freaky stuff nobody wants anything to do with

If you ever see two hedgehogs closely circling each other with one of them making repeated huffing noises, don't worry, they're not fighting, that's just their little mating dance

UK adverts, Sex drugs and rock and roll 

@Jo fuckin' 'ell, didn't know they were that hard up for cash

Welcome twitter refugees! 

You see where there was a little "SHOW MORE" button just there that you pressed to see the rest of this? That's a content warning (or CW)

You use those whenever you want to make a toot (stop giggling at the back, we know, that's what it's called, get over it) that mentions something that other people might not want to see

Stuff like politics (it's exhausting), drugs, NSFW stuff, health discussions, selfies, and so on

That's a non-exhaustive list, just be considerate

this is a witch hunt! 

@garbados don't correct them, this being a witch hunt would mean we can burn them at the stake

(which didn't happen much if at all but they're obviously not that concerned about historical accuracy)

Might be an idea to phase out the phrase "bad actor" in security circles

'cause your average person will read that and just think "Why the hell does Kevin Sorbo want to read my emails?"

BAE Systems is nowhere near as nice and lovey a company than the name would imply

I mean, I like chocolate bars with a soft coconut filling covered in milk chocolate as much as the next enby, but I'm not sure I'd set open source development goals for them

(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_( for those not lucky enough to know what a Bounty bar is)

Violent idea 

@Jo ah, a game of timing

If you're unsynchronised then they'll hit each other and fall someplace other than the volcano, but get it just right and they'll hit the middle!

@wilw would you be so kind as to cw tag your politics please, we do that here
