@Jo what they'd like people to think: "YOU CAN CLEAN A HAIRDRYER?! Why would anyone do that?"

@Jo no excuse, they just find it more profitable to have people buy new things when they break

@Jo I can get behind this, more things need to be easily repairable

My cat, Fizziwig, had to have a few stitches on a wound today so he's got to wear one of those collars so he won't do any damage cleaning himself

He's really not happy about it the poor sod

Coolest thing at Baselworld this year, the Urwerk AMC

It's a mechanical watch that is set, regulated, and wound by an actual honest to god atomic clock

It is hella cool

@technomancergoddess I use MPD with NCMPCPP as a frontend, works nicely for me

Heard good things about Clementine if you want something with a GUI

@technomancergoddess Hey alpha! Welcome!

"Okay, fine, we'll form a consortium to try and sort this shit out"

"Japan what are those?"

"Fine, we'll add them and nobody will care"

"Right, so after eight hours of meetings about emoji can we finally talk about character sets? No? Damn it"

@squirrel always happy to help

@squirrel roasting has happened, but nobody has yet performed the coup de grâce

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social @sydneyfalk @dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel you could go and complain, just drive there in your coupé

@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel possibly some gâteau instead

Either way, bon appétit

@squirrel @zatnosk @dredmorbius maybe you should take a break and go to a café and think about what you just said

Maybe have an éclair while you're there, you should find it on the à la carte menu

@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel so you want to prevent people from using languages other than english because it might mildly inconvenience someone developing a system

Not to mention the fact that the characters you're complaining about ARE ALSO USED IN ENGLISH

@shekkiesqueaks It's a volunteer effort, so isn't quite as good anywhere there don't happen to be many volunteers

But for the most part it's pretty damn good

What kind of bizarre individual takes diazepam(valium) recreationally?

I have to take it from time to time for anxiety attacks and it always makes me feel like shit for most of the rest of the day

@BatElite It's gaudy for the sake of being gaudy rather than being interesting looking for any technical merit

They just took a watch and slapped a bunch of rocks on it
