@beej I took the other way out and put my $8 per month into running an instance. Just a micro-instance though.
@beej @Texan_Reverend @Graham_LRR If it's an individual user, it would be blocking. If it's an entire instance, it would be defederating.
@gamingonlinux @eniko I lucked out and was already entirely off twitter by the time they decided to flip the switch from blow (investor money) to suck (money in for investor.) It'd probably be best for each developer to just have their own bloody RSS feed for the news sites to follow for their press releases and information.
@union @BobsonDugnuttHB True, but it's also going to be a target before Romania proper, since it already has the start of the invasion force inside of it. Of course, to close off the geographic gaps, they'll need that one valley from Romania too.
@union @BobsonDugnuttHB I don't think that's how that works. I think they're preparing for war because they think Russia won't be satisfied with just Ukraine, and they'll want to push as close to their cold war borders as possible, which means taking the Baltics, Poland, Moldova and part of Romania.

@gamingonlinux I don't get the RAAAA part, much better to just mock them for it. https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/QBX3zJyKGhjpOzoG65i68mYI6f_H96Px7qtd5LWtrcI/https/www.nerfnow.com/img/3177/4775.png?width=675&height=869
@Cheeseness @SallyMonster Who has two thumbs and will totally mess you up if you approach his territory? This bird!
@requiem Most of the time at those events, the cell towers in the area get overloaded, and so do all the wifi, so be prepared to be severely throttled on the bandwidth.
@benjedwards The Lunduke podcast mentioned it as a negative, that basically if everyone is wearing this we'll never be looking at anyone's real eyes again.
@zaitcev I imagine one of those expiration dates is "when China is dumb enough to invade Taiwan, because the US will be shifting everything to the pacific when that happens."
The humble book bundle... Says "Use on Any Device" and "Read them anywhere." My linux desktop is both a "device" and a "where" but way down in a link on the fine print it says "Linux: Kobo Desktop is not compatible with Linux OS."
They really should correct those two statements.

Wow, talk about an anti-feature. Youtube's autoplay toggle switches when you scroll up and down the page, based on the last direction you scrolled on the scroll wheel... I'm sure they're just trying to get you to accidentally enable that garbage.
@cstrotm Dynect is the dns host that used to be known as Dyndns. Weird that Twitter is using them.
My internet provider (which just cut out for over a minute) sent me an email with the subject of "Our way of saying thanks". It was spam for their cell phone provider.
