thats right. letters are just arbitrary little squiggles, and if you look at any of them too long they lose the heuristic you associate with them and the fact that theyre just little squiggles becomes visible.
I dont think one word or another is more or less likely to cause this effect.
is that what you should or shouldn’t do, eh?
I like how your ridiculous emojis make the hexbear people stand out. much easier to block
it was ill-advised !!!
Burning Chrome is normally published as a collection of a few short stories (burning chrome is one story in the collection). There is an assassin that uses monofillimant wire somewhere in one of the stories.
William Gibson, who coined the term “cyberspace” in Burning Chrome, is generally regarded as the pioneer of cyberpunk

I guess I am talking ethics. I guess I have a vague sense of hypocrisy with the ‘open letter’ taking a vague moral/ethical high ground while it’s author has ripped off the design of a different piece of software (at least the UI) pixel for pixel
yeah that all makes sense.
i guess i just raised an eyebrow as the author of the letter was like “its just code and community” whilst absolutely copying their design down to the order of the items on the popup menu for posts
You believe that making the learning curve “flat” means that you have to copy the exact shape, size and style of the icons?
I’m all for pixelfed. I have a pixelfed account. This is a fun way to talk about the project.
I was pretty surprised at how the app is essentially a complete clone of IG. like the styling and layout of every button is pixel for pixel the exact same as IG. Innovation is one thing but copying everything about a program and calling it your own I’m not so sure about.

while basic and pedestrian, spider plants can do OK anywhere pothos can hang in there.

My older neighbor got a call from a guy who called her “mom” and said he’d been in a car accident, and there was a problem with his insurance, so he was in real trouble if he couldn’t pay cash for the damage, the other guy was gonna call the cops, and he needed $2,000 to give to the other guy for the damage.
She said “Tim?” and the guy said "yeah mom its Tim and kept repeating he was gonna go to jail for not having insurance cause it lapsed just this week and he needed to run to the store and he was in an accident.
She withdrew 2k from the bank and some guy came and said he was Tim’s friend and he needed to go right then the cops were gonna arrest Tim.
Apparently, he snatched the money out of her hand and ran to his car and left. She felt very foolish.
