Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

ok i think i should let recent followers know: I Really Know Jack Shit About Development. i have never used linux, i took one (1) entire course of "computer programming for non-cs majors" to fulfill my math requirement in college and promptly forgot all the java i learned as soon as the class ended

the only programming language i've come close to knowing/mastering is hexxing petz.

so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh listen i just barely know enough to spot some hot tea don't expect much y'all

anyway with the pattern being set, i can't wait for purism's super secure super new super phone to ship, and be revealed as actually an iphone 7 with a big sticker that says ETHICS pasted over the apple logo

is this toot a bit mean? yes

however i think that as people open the hood, as it were, and peek at what lies within, it's utterly hilarious to see how the same ol' same ol' capitalism-bad-actually can entrance a large part of mastodon by running linux and saying "ethics" enough times, rather like dexter in that "omelette du fromage" episode of dexter's lab

( @purism / #purism voice) we're an extremely ethical company. you can tell because in our social network, nobody is able to make any abuse reports and all abuse reports incoming from other masto instances are rejected. nobody would ever need information from such things or to use such tools.

ethics! aka: if you're not a cishet white techbro and therefore might be harassed on the internet, feel free to use our service to Get Fucked!

i'm going to finally break into the experimental music scene by laying down a casio keyboard generic drumbeat and then recording all of the hideous sounds my shoulder makes over it

so i can barely, *barely* follow the open source programming slang, but am i right in understanding that that @purism is standing around crowing about how they're so totes ethical you guise (SOOOOOO ETHICAL!) while using large swaths of open-source software without following the code of use for those public licenses, not giving credit to the community that made the software but instead just slapping the @purism logo on top?

....amazing, can't wait for their next move (see img for prediction)

i know there are definitely limits but i'm glad the mcelboys are out there being visibly some cishet white dudes who genuinely want to do better, to deal with problematic shit they have said, who admit fault for it and don't shirk away from doing that work

and also that they're out there doing that while bluntly stating that it's not about a pc culture war, it's about doing a better job, and their job is to entertain folks, and thus it's part of being a better person *and* a better comedian.

i kinda want to figure out what the ten-year-old tweets in question are, but i think it's probably better left alone

honestly even if you're not a fan of the mbmbam style of comedy - it's kinda absurdist marmite - i'm glad that the mcelroy brothers exist in pop culture to be a bunch of cishet white dudes who are genuinely interested in learning from mistakes and doing so humbly, being openly ready to listen, learn, do better, and not give buckets of dodges and excuses.

today's spoonie mood has been:

i spun the Wheel O' Muscle Relaxer and lost

green fluff is good tho

like, it's white culture, in the same way puppy gender reveal parties are white culture, because we sure as fuck cannot blame this nonsense on anyone else. we just gotta sit here with our sins.

however, it's delicious

well like morally

green fluff is delicious and you can pry it from my cold dead hands

i may have just chased a scary bug across my parlor room spraying it with windex

in my defense, a) big, b) looks scary, c) kinda worried it's an ant battle queen or some sort of carpenter ant queen and NO ROOM FOR ANTS IN HERE GO AWAY

FUCK YO PEDOSTACHE, ALL BJORK IS BEST. DO NOT SEEK TO RANK THEM.

or if vespertine isn't number one i am fucking coming for you and your bad facial hair both

Look At Him, Look At My Favourite Garbage Murderdad

Behold This Utter Terrifying Trash Fire (i chant as i post more au darth vader)

i'm actually mildly terrified that the next commission i get of vader from my au fanfic, some sort of DILF singularity will occur, and i will be crushed by an oncoming wave of people way too hornt for him due to artists just being way too good at delivering that vibe
