@trinsec thanks🙂 life goes on

(just not for the baby birds. those are dead)

unexpected levels of jank remain in the #Linux desktop experience: my laptop touchpad's middle button stopped working, but it started working again after I changed to another TTY then back

so, they all died. I saw one on the ground yesterday morning; the one in the makeshift nest was dead; and then I found the last of them dead on its back on the ground this morning. the parents are still around and have returned to the nest, but I'm not sure they'll stay.

Sorry if you were looking at this thread expecting something sweet or uplifting, but life ain't a fairytale.

I'm not sure if #wordle has just run through all the common words or if they're sabotaging it. some really dodgy ones lately

@colinl lol
that's literally the question

I've seen four nestlings now, all fallen from the nest. one was dead when I got home. second had trouble staying in the nest so i made a makeshift nest out of a sock (not sure if that's ok). third, i think, was pushing number two out of the nest--seems unfazed and just wants fed now it's back. last I basically rolled into the nest. wasn't dead but pretty weak-looking.

parents are still around so I reckon at least the lively one I put back in the original nest can survive. dunno about the other two, but I'm pulling for em.

@godtierchaoticgay crows: strange and mercurial spirits that like bacon apparently

all the rhetoric in the United States on energy use is about adding more. not a single prominent voice is even suggesting that we use less... this isn't a strictly negative position: we can find greater efficiency

@lucifargundam
I was wondering if there was something like this. do you have a link or the account name?

I think a bot would be cool, but my goal was to adjust things in a way that I'm not nearly skilled enough to code up, plus the fun for me is the live interaction. a bot would be good for letting individual players have their own experience, though the fun of the medium is what we do in conversation with each other... maybe there's a way to combine these elements in a fun way... maybe just role play?

@trinsec

last thing to both of you: the poll ending does provide a notification, but I guess you wouldn't see the next post depending on when I finish it. do you think being sure to have the next one ready when the poll expires would be very useful or would just slowing the pace take care of it?

thanks!

@lucifargundam @trinsec good to know. I'm surprised y'all say it was too fast, since I actually thought it would be the opposite: is there a rate you think would be better? weekly? every three days? weekends only?

the free entry thing felt a bit dodgy. I still like the idea, but maybe it would be better later in the story as an outlet for taking a poke at some theories or to check in on some side characters? basically, where there's more background so you know what's an interesting question to ask.
