FOSS is free as in toilet

Excellent statement, absolutely true

every new influx of people to the fediverse reiterates to me the need for and importance of community-owned social infrastructure. whether it’s hostile ToS changes, manipulative algorithms, exploitive surveillance, etc, etc, corpers have shown they can’t steward these spaces ethically. the existence of fedi, for all its evolving flaws and growing strengths, has shown me that we can do better for each other ✊️❤️

Doesn't MySpace look totally benign now?All we had to complain about was overzealous styling and autoplay background music.

Battletoads was deliberately absurdly hard because it took place in the Bucky O'Hare universe and you're not supposed to feel sympathy or pity for the operatives of the evil Toad Empire SEND TOOT

Here’s a free #English #ProTip.

If you’re wondering if you should say “you and I” or “you and me”, delete the “you and” and see if you sound like Cookie Monster. Switch if you do.

“You and me should go” yields “me should go”. Use “I” here instead.

“That’s good for you and I” yields “That’s good for I”. Use “me” here instead.

Excuses.

- about code not written by a man

I saw this on a comment thread on open source project interaction with community members (and vice versa). I’d say it nails it! #programming #foss #opensource

So anyway: the V&A. Best museum. Your museum could never.

Reminder for fellow amerikkkans since it's that time of year
