"do you have me on jabber?" is something one human might actually say to another without being pickled in 90s tech jargon "here is my XMPP address" makes you sound like a fucking dork making a dick joke

not an original observation but the greatest barrier to the adoption of jabber was when they renamed it to "i'm touching my peepee"

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

dayjob: so it's not pmtu discovery, but, we can't TLS with the MLKEM suites inside AWS. lolcool.

say, what's that pattern where someone denies our version of events, attacks us, and then reverses the roles such that we are the putative aggressor in the situation called?

The reason "AI" has settled on "chat" as interface is because what they are actually selling is domination. They are selling you having a personal slave. That's their hook.

we hang out on discords where people get into weird elaborate tumblr drama and it's always a little awkward when we talk about the weird straightforward fediverse drama we get into

it's fucking amazing at how many white people think that us talking about the shit we experience is the _real_ problem, and the cause for us to be excluded! 10/10, no fucking notes

So now I'm hearing about so-called Open Source projects closing PR contributions from the outside world because it's easier to "generate the code" from within their org just based on people's bug reports or whatever. **Mask off moment.** These people never cared about #opensource or […]
