Sam the Octopus @troubleMoney@computerfairi.es

For all of those men that were bitching about "when's international men's day?" last international women's day, it's today

I'd have been happy to make them all little beds but they really prefer to do that themselves

the original location for the hedgehog hotel became unavailable so it's back here in the garden ready for hibernating season

gave them lots of nice straw for bedding

@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"
