@chetfaliszek PM me details via the forum PM mechanism.. HAHAHA will never happen so I get to keep my $50, sucka!

@chetfaliszek @mozilla @Microsoft @Skype I'll expect a paypal of $50 incoming as well, thanks in advance

@chetfaliszek @mozilla @Microsoft @Skype dammit Chet you're doing the internet all wrong. Never admit being wrong! Triple down instead!

@chetfaliszek @MSN @bing @firefox @mozilla bing! BING! BING! It's just MORE FUN TO SAY, Chet!

Also I love the imaginary word "yannie", it's fantabulous

@nrhinkle it's really fun!

Also this page is the original source of the audio file (click the little speaker next to the giant word at the top) https://t.co/PaWMI0fy1T -- but it's been tweaked

@tqbf everything in security is belt-and-suspenders, man. One set of "experts" will find completely different (and valid) things as another set of "experts". Solution: hire everyone, all the time.

@johnolilly debatable

The crazy f-ed up thing about this, is if I "prime" my mind by mentally saying the word I want to hear just before I hear it, I hear it that way (at the midpoint of the slider, anyway). Mind. Blown.

@FanlessTech well yes smartphones are also fanless, so it is really _that_ interesting? :trollface:

@waxpancake @jkottke It's complicated. Where this gets difficult for me is when *every* issue is remapped through a moral lens, for maximum outrage. On both right and left, this works..

@FanlessTech My point is that "perfect silence" is basically unattainable and an unrealistic goal. The white noise of a single large low-rpm fan is quite.. pleasant. And *vastly* easier and cheaper to attain. Safer too (if RPM controlled)!

@waxpancake I would actually go so far as to say @jkottke was wrong in this "don't look" advice. When it comes to moral wrongs like racism, sexism, bigotry, etc looking and seeing is critical. I do appreciate and understand your point on linking, though.

@waxpancake oh so this is more a technical issue of linking than literally "don't look"?

@waxpancake @jkottke but what if you are attempting to right a moral wrong? Is it OK to "just don't look" at racism, sexism, bigotry, etc?

@patio11 these types of users are very confused anyway, on multiple levels. I don't think you can reach every possible living human with a perfect messaging strategy

@kiriappeee Debate is a very different thing, and quite boring

@FanlessTech @Gryzor Good luck with electronic buzzing noises, then..

@Gryzor I actually don’t feel the holy grail of totally fanless is worth the risk and crazy levels of effort.. when one slow spinning inaudible 120mm fan is a tiny fraction of the cost and effort

@Beschizza You have never not been wearing this coat

@deadprogrammer this forum software is unacceptable

@byFcz @ErisDS @JohnONolan here is a good example, excellent example actually, of how changes relate to ongoing larger discussions and not a singular "issue" https://t.co/11Mksk47Gu

@TheRaDR @DinaPomeranz this is basically the holy grail of the Internet, widely desired, so difficult to achieve

@JohnONolan @mjackson it is interesting how GitLab is kind of an existential (and growing!) threat to GitHub, because it cuts at the heart of enterprise sales, which is where all the real big $$$ is

@byFcz @ErisDS @JohnONolan They are bidirectional links

@JohnONolan @mjackson I don't know enough about OpenCollective to say, but GitHub has to get enterprisey to survive

@JohnONolan @mjackson barriers to entry are not a bad thing, when the barrier represents "give us reciprocal effort".

@mjackson It's not even a little far-fetched. Interesting how dramatically different @JohnONolan experience is with ours.. we have zero GitHub angst, and that's probably why

@ErisDS @JohnONolan Discourse discussions automatically link back to Github commits, see https://t.co/zov8OpYYKc

@JohnONolan @ErisDS Third, we find that any real "issue" short of "you typoed this variable name" is farrrrr too complex and nuanced for GitHub issues -- requires real discussion .. why build this? who is it for? how should it work? WHY should it work?

@JohnONolan @ErisDS Second, since we "live" in Discourse it is our home and we are.. particular.. about who we let get past the front porch and the front door. Take your shoes off; no tracking mud on our rugs.

@JohnONolan @ErisDS First, the barrier is now higher, you can't just be any rando with github creds to post "valued feedback". You must create a Discourse account.

@JohnONolan it's interesting because we have zero of that bad GitHub experience at Discourse, and we're 139% all-in on GitHub. I strongly believe this is because we don't allow issue reporting there, AT ALL. You should do the same.

@anildash it already won

@MrAlanCooper the smaller localized ones, like the Oakland one, are more homey these days

@ironicsans @kottke there's also the animal crossing story about the mom who played it. Sadly I no longer trust the internet, so unsure how many of these are true. https://t.co/R734OscUge

@sarahjeong Personally, I am still recovering from the potent trifecta of beatlemania, opioid crisis, and tide pods

@Beschizza beatlemania, opioid crisis, and tide pods.. that is quite the trifecta

@ZombieObject I think I use that machine like once every 6 months

@superwuster @cshirky @pinboard thinks Net Neutrality is one of the least important issues to focus on right now.

@shawnmaddock I don't think google authenticator app existed in 2012, but feel free to look it up and confirm ;)

@Gryzor request denied

And now for extra credit, read through the Tech Solidarity recommendations and think REALLY hard about why each item that is there, is there at all: https://t.co/ng5DTuvb0a

@jsatk I looked it up and the animation is so bad for it

@roo_44 https://t.co/1lDqCfqn5d

@rands @chrisbro @siracusa I wouldn't want to be great at a game that isn't great. We can even extrapolate that into a management metaphor! ;)

@chrisbro @rands @siracusa to be fair I don't think I've ever seen a FPS / RPG combination that didn't devolve into silly grindy stuff, "now shoot this bad guy in the head two thousand times".. The Division also had this problem

@rands I don't understand what you and @siracusa see in Destiny 2. I find it .. competent, but underwhelming.

@patio11 There are moral reasons to attack others now, and not attacking them (or not visibly "liking" the attack) is implicit acceptance of a moral wrong.

@patio11 this is not new by any stretch of the imagination; if it bleeds, it leads

@Carnage4Life Clay Shirky wrote about scared white people voting as a minority block.. so yes: https://t.co/W8SMm8vUEg

@The_Pi_Hole @Dessertmesser My, this is excellent forum software 👏

@Carnage4Life I feel like vast income inequality is still the core issue, lots more super expensive apartments isn't going to fix anything

@Carnage4Life https://t.co/oOfjBWIXUC

@quinns having to set up and diagnose another "thing" on the network is a negative, is it not?

@JohnONolan @erlend_sh 🤩

@Pinboard Taking a page from @nihilist_arbys , always steal from the best I say

@JohnONolan I wish we could have a norwegian dream trip @erlend_sh 😭

@susanthesquark I have one daughter who looks very much like me, and it is extremely disconcerting. She also shares several.. uh.. "unique" personality traits with me

@chetfaliszek @oculus Being part of Facebook guarantees that will never happen...

@textfiles @lightweight @foxxtrot There are no heroes

@stechert @tqbf execution is much harder in practice; inspiration is basically irrelevant because it is so massively dwarfed by the power of execution.

@tqbf the exceptions are largely pre-internet, before genius could be so widely shared. There were people so talented they were inventing things from whole cloth, in isolation. https://t.co/DDFgv2mbDk

@textfiles @knguyen @dynamofire @Lubchansky @MattBors let he who is not already Thanos cast the first stone

@tqbf that said the number of companies and devs that kinda suck at execution is .. surprising.

@tqbf software is 99.9% execution and 0.1% inspiration

@tqbf Why would this be at all surprising? Once you learn how the sausage is made, you know that's how ALL sausage is made. Magical algorithms are invented maybe once every year, worldwide.

@tqbf nooo Thomas H. Ptacek every good show should run for infinite seasons!

@stublag yes, yes, I like where this is going

Speaking of, I just had these two yo-yos anodized at https://t.co/k25jpCEuA4 -- Smashing Crucible and A-RT Grail! https://t.co/O9U8dcfFxx

@radford_andrew lol no, unfortunately :D

@etakgoz the HIMYM episode predates that by 2 years https://t.co/Xu81uS8X4f

They essentially turned this brilliant HIMYM bit into a full length show. And it freakin' works. https://t.co/PqcRkRHsDX

@AndrewMBurton @betsyphd (having 'nam flashbacks so bad right now)

@johnolilly good point, how about a version scaled to unit volumes over time as well? @lukew

@eviljordan possibly

@textfiles I believe I can see the hand of god in this picture

@kragen @textfiles Probably best to leave it at what I already said. It's true.

@ginatrapani @ftrain @adampash I'm still quite sad no operating system yet created ships with a simple clipboard memory of the last (X) things you pasted :(

@betsyphd 🤯

@textfiles maybe the next time you're taking a selfie you can introspect about that

@textfiles if someone talked to you like this, you would lose your shit, yet you regularly do it to others. I don't like it.

@tqbf anyway not trying to avoid blame, just pointing out that .. weirdos are worldwide

@tqbf turns out the internet is worldwide, and not all countries believe the same things we do (or don't)

@tqbf based on the stilted english, also suspect this person is from outside the US, perhaps a country with even worse gender issues

@textfiles @foxxtrot powerful men are no longer unassailable as they were in the past, even 5 years ago. That's a good thing.

@foxxtrot @textfiles yes, but the world changed, RMS didn't

@textfiles the difference is that the world has changed around him, e.g. #metoo and the fall of Harvey Weinstein and many others

@_paperino read more closely -- powering off triggers this immediately

@robdew I can't even remember the last time I searched for an app

@tillkruss note that powering off triggers this mode immediately, as well.

@joshmillard I will be voting super hard with maxtreme intensity from this point on

@joshmillard Remember how funny that “it’s like a comment section is running for president!” joke used to be?

@tulosba That’s why I asked it on an opinion network! Also check out https://t.co/qpgbjBMoYr which does an excellent job of specializing in comparisons

@jessamyn @casahighland You know that is actually a remarkably nice silo

@joshmillard And yet, if we had paid attention to these comment sections, maybe more of us would have seen Trump coming and done more to stop it.

@marcprecipice this film looks really great, adding it to my list

@JoshuaGilless @ClickHole @PatriotHole looool I had not seen this 🤣

JUST SELL ME A PRODUCT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ANYTHING, *ANYTHING* BUT THIS! HERES MY WALLET! TAKE IT!
