@scarlett a cp/m client would be enough for me to go "fuck all this modern shit, I'm using a C128"

@tom although for the best snack you want pickled onion monster munch

@tom good

@minego hm... let's say above, I'm one of those land octopuses

@InspectorCaracal just one stick and one orb, the other tentacles are just hanging out

maybe use one of them for knighting people with a sword or something

any time I do my "Thus spake the octopus" thing just imagine me on a really fancy chair with a little crown and holding in my tentacles that stick and that orb thing queen lizzie has

@pettancow not sure an entire article is required in order to say "it doesn't work" but yeah, probably

Notable case: all the places that think I'm in Amsterdam

Using a geoIP database to figure out where your users are is a bad idea because it never works right

If you need to know where someone is, ask them

Thus spake the octopus

@Jo they more than likely totally forgot about GPS when they wrote it and only put in the bit where it checks the geoIP database

@Jo lemme guess, it's guessing location data from your IP address?

@Jo if all your shit is hitting swap too often, yes, yes it is

@InspectorCaracal ...fair point

I am 100% convinced that Irish names were developed in order to fuck with the English

I mean come on, "Caoimhe"? Seriously? That one's apparently meant to be pronounced "KEE-va"

Or "Tadhg", which is apparently pronounced like "TIE-g"

@natecull never know, they might just really like hot sulphuric acid

@maple @trashyfins@chomp.life something like this

@maple @trashyfins@chomp.life oh yeah, I was just wondering if you could use them like some sort of warp speed trebuchet
