surveillance capitalism gone wild, amazon echo 

@djsundog yeah, either way it's not nice to the customer

surveillance capitalism gone wild, amazon echo 

@djsundog might not necessarily be about the putting microphones in your house thing

They're probably expecting a lot of people to use the "Oi, 'lexa, order me some bog roll" feature which would make them a fair bit of money

Or they made too many of them and are just trying to get shot of them

The surveillance aspect might just be an added bonus for them

Probably not, but it might

brexit moaning 

Great, now we're going to have to put up with passports that are a shitty blue colour

THE BURGUNDY WAS CLASSY AS FUCK

@squirrel hey, it didn't suck before, but now thanks to @InspectorCaracal it's more up to date and not sucking!

@icefox@octodon.social Invented the term "debugging" after removing an actual bug stuck in a relay that was causing a program to not function

Wrote the first compiler

Admiral Grace Hopper was a badass

@dogoken@cybre.space It's like the Inuit reputedly having a couple of hundred terms for "snow"

@dogoken@cybre.space ah no, it's an English term, we have more nuance to the degrees of feeling like shit

Is there an American equivalent to "the dreaded lurghi/lurgi/lurgy"?

It a term for an unspecified illness that makes you feel like complete shit for a few days to a week and then goes away

body 

@squirrel sounds like the dreaded lurghi to me

hang on, that's a really england-centric reference

sounds like it might be a cold, hope you fight it off soon

@squirrel I was going to message you to say it was down but I figured you probably noticed before I did

@squirrel - does @squirrel_chan's fuck-up hour, makes kickass music, draws good, and is generally awesome as hell

@HTHR@cybre.space - makes super good videogames, is a hexagon

@chr@cybre.space - is a dragon

@brokenfingers - the beholder of positivity

@noelle - knows lots about calendars for some reason, good posts

@squirrel still, I'm sorry if my post hit a nerve, stuff like that must (rightly) annoy the crap out of you

@squirrel I care about it, I was just evidently using the wrong words to refer to it because I'm a bit thick and thought that tracker stuff like what you do was broadly categorised under chiptune

@squirrel dumb people think that tracker stuff still comes under the chiptune category until informed otherwise

source: a dumb person (me)

@squirrel sorry, I AM BAD AT DETERMINING MUSICAL GENRES, THEY'RE ALL GOOD THOUGH

@squirrel @HTHR@cybre.space (it's also the only stuff you've put on bandcamp and soundcloud as far as I can see)
