@maple I'm imagining a horde of maplebots giggling into battle with tiny lil guns and more of them behind them using crew served weapons and it's both adorable and terrifying at the same time

@maple *brings snacks for robot*

@der_Jeff@mastodon.host it's got six legs and it's scuttling around on the floor, it's quite clearly a bug

These bloody liberals saying "sunlight is the best disinfectant"

No it isn't!

If your surgeon tells you "'sallright, I left these scalpels on a windowsill for 20 minutes, they're fine" you're gonna be a bit bloody worried aren't you?

Now I'm not saying that we necessarily should treat nazis like we treat surgical tools because that would be incredibly ironic and far too on the nose but seriously liberals, come up with decent metaphors

Huh, TIL that Outlook replaces all smiley faces with "J" in plain text emails

Apparently they decided to auto change ":)" to the windings smiley face in anything you send, and when that gets converted to plain text you end up with "J"

Because Microsoft evidently haven't heard of the emoji block in unicode

That bug's been in there since 2010

@meena the cat that belongs to two doors up and probably isn't meant to be luxuriating in our living room

this is not our cat

@natalie@masto.ninja was you I was talking about keyboards with wasn't it?

Found this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/apt-hall-effect-mechanical-keyboard?mode=guest_open

Hall-effect switches, comes with 60g springs but I'm sure you'll be able to swap them out with something lighter

@Jo ah, fox, so it's either going to be shite and go for eleventy million seasons or really good and go for one and finish half way through Changes

@maple not useless at all, you can still receive hugs and pets and love!

*offers all three*

@Jo solder them all together!

"Hey, I need a resistor for this thing"
"what value?"
"couple of inches worth"

@natecull Stabitus the Stabby

Liked his lightsabre that one did

Why limit yourself to one set of knuckle tats?

With implantable LED displays you could display any arbitrary knuckle tat at any time!

You could even have them scroll for more characters!

@maple 🅱️

Finally a linus techtips video title that encapsulates the entire channel

"WHY?"

@masklayer gerber have a bladeless version of the MP600 you could look at

Has a replaceable saw blade which I think is compatible with standard jigsaw blades for when you get on the ground

I've just had to walk two and a half km to and from the shops to get the hedgehogs some of food they like because we'd run out

Those lil adorable buggers better appreciate it
