@CornishRepublicanArmy also I'm not sure quite what they expect a bunch of astronomers to do about world hunger, very different skill sets involved

@maple I've got a fondness for the Front Line Assembly cover but that is also fantastic

@DarkWitchClaire far as I know

@maple those people are the worst

shouldn't just go around yelling "NO! NOT ALLOWED!" when some of us just happen to not have the thing

it's like lopping off people's legs just because some people happen to not have them

@maple I head someone once injected a whole mastodon

@maple *octo-cuddles and pets*

@neudre @paulfree14 @InspectorCaracal ...aren't you lot meant to be making a piece of software at the end of this?

Surely there's someone in the office who can bodge a quick survey form together

@InspectorCaracal @neudre also the tech problem of facilitating long-range communications but primarily what you said, yes

@neudre @InspectorCaracal I'm certainly imagining that

Doing it as well actually by calling out a project that's untrustworthy and, even if it were trustworthy, entirely missing the point by trying to build a technological solution to a social problem

I hope we of the fediverse have been helpful to you in determining that that's what we do here

@Anarkat yep

if it was a literal rubber stamp that put it into effect the brexiteers would proclaim the inanimate stamp a traitor and say it should have chosen not to function at that moment

@mplouffe@scholar.social I'm hopeful it will be, bezel compatibility would also be really nice

@BalooUriza then again "giant shitshow that would irrevocably change a whole load of things and generally go very badly indeed for everyone involved" is kinda where we are at the moment so *shrug*

@BalooUriza well, she could technically have stopped it in the same way that technically the UK can annex Normandy

could happen, but it would very quickly result in a giant shitshow that would irrevocably change a whole load of things and generally go very badly indeed for everyone involved

Since Royal Assent was given to that bill that requires the PM to ask the EU for an extension to article 50 the brexiteers have started being angry at the Queen

Interesting that a bunch of people so obsessed with "sovereignty" have turned on a fucking dime against an actual literal sovereign

@maple smol critter
