@helvetica Fully deserved. Knotwords has been partner to my morning coffee for over 235 days (my current streak). Still, I haven’t had the time to finish one of the monthly issues! Shame on me!
@jamesthomson That’s unfair! Mine is still working, I wonder which data center crashed and whether they’ll manage to fix it or we’ll see it cascade to other nodes…

Actual conversation I had…
Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.
@StarlessCrimson @Muestavi Enhorabuena y felicidades! No te conozco en persona, pero tus hilos y reflexiones me llevan acompañando años y me alegro haberte encontrado en la antigua red social del pájaro.
Felices fiestas!

I really struggled with the icing for my gingerbread barn and it accidentally became a gingerbread slaughterhouse.

No matter how benevolent a dictatorship is, it's still a dictatorship, and subject to the dictator's whims. We must demand that the owners and leaders of tech platforms be fair and good - but we must also be prepared for them to fail at this, sometimes catastrophically.

For me at least, getting onto @Mastodon and appreciating the structure of the platform and the tone of conversation has made these other pop-up social networks (Twitter replacements) totally unattractive. No, I don’t want to move up on a wait list by “referring 5 friends”; no, I don’t want to be part of another Jack Dorsey project; no, I don’t want to be part of something with weird completely top-down control. Mastodon broke me for other platforms.
@paul I personally am anti badge but for those that want it, I voted # of all. My anti-badgism shouldn’t prohibit others to have it if they want it.

Another app that uses Runestone has seen the light of day 😃 https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/devpad/id6444708509
@jamesthomson I got it a while ago but I voted yes because everyone deserves to own PCalc. I can cover some of your losses if needed by buying it again (I won’t abide by that statement though 😜)

@ivory I’m glad I managed this time. You guys are in for a huge success if you translate this interest in the alpha into subscribers.
So far I’m loving the “feeling like home” tweetbot vibes.
@ivory hell yeah! This time I managed!
Thanks for the extra slots and looking forward to subscribing to the 1.0!
