Apparently "World Hello Day" both exists, and is today (2017-11-21)

So uh... hello?

GRITSY BITSY TEENY WEENY YELLOW ANTI-SLIP MACHINEY

Added pronouns to bio because normalising that seems like a good idea

When @blackle@dev.glitch.social orders packs of playing cards they arrive consisting only of three suits; clubs, spades, and diamonds

That's because everyone knows you don't send hearts to blackle

Fun fact: The pirate accent we're all used to is in fact a mish-mash of various West Country accents (especially Cornwall, South Devon, and Bristol Channel)

This is entirely because Robert Newton used an accent like that when he played Long John Silver in the 1950 film of Treasure Island

This means that to the untrained ear everyone from the region sounds like either farmers or pirates

Well, this is dumb

There's an ad campaign on UK TV at the moment about the dangers of having all your personal information on social media

It includes the line "Be careful what you share, because someone could make a lot of money being you"

*glances at my bank accounts*

Yeah, good luck with that chummer

Other sites: "I disagree with what you said, I'LL SEND YOU DEATH THREATS"

Mastodon: "I disagree with what you said, I'M GOING TO SEND YOU A CAKE WITH SNARK WRITTEN ON IT IN DELICIOUS ICING"

Next April we should really send Lance Ulanoff something

Maybe a cake with "Mastodon's not dead yet motherfucker" on it

Christmas gift idea: A nicely leather bound book of the giftee's finest shitposts

Huh... counter.social accepts connections from digital ocean droplets

Probably from all other cloud/vps providers as well

So.... all this blocking IP ranges to "prevent foreign government interference" can be bypassed for 5 bucks

10/10 thinking it through there chummer

*glances at the discourse*

Fucking yanks

Well this is the dumbest thing I've seen today

It's a watch, WITH A PLATE OVER THE DIAL SO YOU CAN'T SEE THE TIME

IT FAILS AT THE MOST ESSENTIAL FEATURE OF A WATCH, WHICH IS BEING ABLE TO TELL THE GODDAMN TIME

It sounds like Baked Alaska got his.... JUST DESERTS
