@Lana my takeaway from these results is that you don't need a breathable atmosphere because the bisexual with the taco truck has already taken your breath away πŸ™‚

Incoming urban fantasy story premise (via this Threads user): the Fae created Github, now Microsoft are trying to take over the Summer Kingdom in order to fill it with AI data centres. Of course, the threadrippers are promptly squatted by the entire gremlin population of faerie:

Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!

Algorithms are so dumb. I recently bought a bike trainer on FB Marketplace. It lets you use your bike indoors as a stationary bike. It's the kind of thing I would only ever need one of, because I only have one bike. But now my marketplace page looks like this:

I just learned about a new data storage format. A rare analog digital hybrid. Behold the "Aperture Card"
