@VictimOfSimony I think what would end up happening there is that "everyone" would be me

I love going through and muting all the vendor accounts who only post to try and hawk their wares

@hzulla My brain hurts reading that

For the love of Tiamat, can we PLEASE add context to posts and stop posting ONLY links?

Not all clients will render the content of a link, nor will the title always give useful information.

It's not hard to write 2-3 sentences to let people know why they should care about what you posted, is it?

I'm officially boycotting Monday. Who's with me?

@ktneely I'm adding a lot to my CD wish list tonight

@ktneely I haven't heard this song in DECADES

But I still somehow remember all the lyrics

@lacroixboi Probably should at least watch The Fifth Element before it

There's a post I'm trying to find from someone I can't remember, but I also can't remember exactly what the post said.

I think random pointing at my monitor will be an effective strategy here

Outages like this made me appreciate the Fediverse even more.

And this instance, some of the comments are pure gold

To hell with this cold weather. Is there a petition I can sign or something to have it removed?

@vpz @jerry That made me decide to check my join date... I'm 2 days late for my 3 year.

How will I ever recover?

Looking for USA recommendations to port my out of state cell number to a landline or VoIP service. I'm at the point where I think I'm ready to retire from the cell phone carrying business.

@seanwbruno Another vote for voip.ms. I've been using them for a landline for about a year now and have never had any issues or complaints.

Initial setup/config was also super easy (barely and inconvenience)

It's incredible to me how we gave up on so many aspects of privacy in the past five years. Things that we were taking for granted not long ago.

Now, some think it's totally normal to record others without their consent in any contexts.

People feel entitled to others' images and personal lives, incessantly demanding access to it. Everyone needs to share everything publicly online or be deemed suspicious, and excluded.

This has greatly eroded the fabric of social relationships and trust in our societies.

There is so much we need to do to heal this culture and the damages that have been done and continue to be done.

We need to treat each other with respect. Genuine respect as human beings. And consent, true consent with true choices, is at the center of that.

They got hit by Space Junk...

So, the Chinese space station crew is now stranded in space after a suspected collision with space junk. Is this the beginning of the Kessler Syndrome future that @sundogplanets's has been warning us about?

Are we approaching a point where putting humans into low earth orbit is simply too dangerous?

@maxleibman It can also be super fun to be the weakest link. Everyone should try it sometime!

@maxleibman I am indeed the weakest link in infosec

Today's code word is "starburst"
