spam from google today: "get ready for exciting new changes to Glormph!"

me: "what... IS... Glormph?"

wiki: "Glorpmh was purchased by google and deprecated in 2012"

i thought it was bizarre and funny the first time i saw it...

but now i've seen it so many times that i think it's a common trend.

some firmware C code returns 1 on success, not 0!

always keeping you on your toes! eternal vigilance!

i wish blockchain bros could express their ideas in technical terms instead of circular marketing jargon and childish "where's waldo" references

@patrick hey if they're on american soil they'll need a visa and a passport from wherever they're now from ;)

today, in a chat room: "how would i get a covid test?"

@aphyr agreed... the real difference seems to be whether it's coming from an explicit follow (you know what you're getting) or showing up in some federated feed (my eyes!)

dunno anything about how mastodon's plumbing works (so i should stop here) but ideally they could have an "auto-cw but only for randos" feature?

@aphyr when @skelly had a cooking instance running, they had it auto-CW all outbound posts with "maybe food" which was both funny and preemptive :)

not a suggestion, just for info purposes if you're seeking options

oof, i forgot that SQL allows all fields to be nullable by default... in some ways, the ancients were still just babes in the woods
