"Från några få till ett fandom"

Shouldn't that be en fandom, since "dom" is common gender?
Or are Discord not talking about a devil's judgement?

Extra sad points for captcha not scaling with my text size like a regular website. When you enable the large text accessibility setting, all the corporate websites get more or less messed up.

the best quirk of the activitypub protocol is that you only see posts on people's profiles that your server knows about, so if you click on someone's profile odds are most of what you'll see is just a whistle stop tour of your own best posts that this person has boosted.

Would be funny to play FM synth sounds on a fully weighted, triple-sensor, hammer-action wooden keyboard.

*Looks at Yamaha workstation synth*
It has FM!

*Looks at Yamaha stage piano*
Also it has FM!

Do Yamaha just put FM into everything?
(I'm in favour.)

@CodingItWrong on static typing in Ruby: https://codingitwrong.com/2020/10/19/problems-static-typing-doesnt-solve.html

Matches my experience with Python. When people think they need type checking to not drown in their code, most of the time they'll be better of dedicating all this effort to fixing actual problems: tight coupling, lack of test coverage and unnecessary object-oriented fluff.

@Greg 😆 Here is a sketch.

I'm not sure the sentences I wrote for the speechbubbles works, are catchy and/or sounds good English.

Any quick proofread/dialog help from anyone native English speaker reading this thread is welcome. :blobcatheart:

I've probably said something like this before on here, but one of my favorite things about the internet has been increased access to used books.

Can "curb" mean something other than a literal curb?
DHL can deliver something "to the curb" but the nearest curb/car road is not that close.

I just received an update for the "VGC Illustration" kickstarter where they highlight the post on mastodon for helping them get the word out. It's a little weird seeing references to mastodon outside of mastodon, but it's good too.
