@ben I mean, that's a bit more specific (although both are descriptions of Roald Dahl)
realistically this would take A Dev Team and not just me (very few relevant skills) but it's more achievable than i thought since realizing "oh right you can mod valve games"

@TheBreadmonkey Ho ho ho.
Big win last night for the the Dems in the US and I'm of course I'm so glad it happened.
What I do find a little troubling is some low key comments about how the educated, and sophisticated people came out to vote and delivered the win. Be careful, that type of talk is what's driving a wedge in your politics and what got your country in trouble in the first place.

I've spent a long time pondering the difference between a "script" and a "command" in Unix.
Am increasingly convinced that commands come with man pages. Scripts do not. #sysadmin
I think we need to start using 'beloved children's author' as an euphemism for being a complete and utter cunt.

Is it possible on Mastodon to filter out posts that _quote users_ that have been hidden by the instance admins?
Everyone should petition their local officials to change to ranked choice voting. Now. This needs to happen before next elections.
The very close races we see are so tight because of other candidates on the ballots sucking away votes, and ranked choice would make it clear exactly what kind of government the voters want.
I say this as one who has voted 3rd party in the past and used to encourage others to do so. Until we have RCV, don’t let 3rd parties cannibalize your choice.

@erincandescent @chjara im wondering if it's more cultural if anything. aspirin got genericized by treaty (and revolution in russia lol) after ww1 basically everywhere except germany. i think here they just re-registered the trademark after the union had collapsed, but you can't exactly tell everyone to stop using the brand at this point

>> Don't you think the Democrats can at least make things better by reversing Trump's tariffs and formulating policy based (more) on facts, rather than Trump's bruised ego?
> They *could,* but they won't. They will rush to implement communism. Or as close to it as they can get within the next six years.
