This is real
𒀭Wiiお姉さん 💜 🏳️⚧️@amy The joys of using your own software.
On the bright side, you can also get the enjoyment of marking your own issue as upstream and wontfix 👍
@amy Oh wait, I just realised I know you from the Lua discord lol
AmiW Streetart ❄️@amy Yeaah 👍😍
MemeSinyxbut @amy have have tried following the advice? rumors say micro shaft enslaves an army of elves to fix your bugs at night

llewelly@amy
oh! well then you need to add just one more step:
1. file issue
2. appoint someone else as maintainer

Julia Rez'Great clown maintainer' is the name of my new post-rock Fall tribute band.
Koantig@amy 99%Invisible has this motto: "Always read the plaque" (on buildings).
The fediverse should have "Always read the bio", before deciding to reply or not.

Vladimir Savić@amy Great spin on a famous Rorschach (Watchmen graphic novel) joke about clown Pagliacci ("But doctor, I am Pagliacci"). I really like it.
Mark T. Tomczak@amy I'm referring to myself as "Great clown maintainer" from now on. ;)
gauche@amy so… did the great clown maintainer reply to your bug report?
GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)@amy I follow too many photographers and bio nerds here. 😔
I got to the end of your post and was genuinely baffled when it WASN'T an elaborate pun about confusing errors for insects. 😫🦋🖥️

Cyborg Medusa@amy well show us your great clownery then! /j
lopta@amy Someone I work with helpfully asked someone from another site how to enrol 350 iPads onto a new MDM platform we have no documentation for. He said "just take those to local IT". My challenge is that we /are/ local IT. :-|
. @amy HQ sent out someone to help. I watched him carefully but repeatedly try to plug a Lightning cable into the volume buttons on an iPad. :-|
Paul Wouters 🇪🇺🇨🇦@amy but did you file the bug before complaining or are you going to have to rewrite the complaint into bug form ? 🤣
Claudio Zizza 🦜@amy A man goes to a doctor: “Doctor, I’m depressed,” the man says; life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel. The doctor lights up. The treatment, after all, is simple. “The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight,” the doctor says, “Go and see him! That should sort you out.” The man bursts into tears. “But doctor,” he says, “I am Pagliacci.”
HowToPhil@amy "Treatment is simple. Great clown maintainter is you. Filing issue with self, easiest hard thing to do."
