Peter CohenSome days one can almost ignore the preening neckbeardyness of Mastodon. But this Apple antitrust news day is not one of them.
Brian DearThat does it. My next band name is Preening Neckbeards.
Nate Gorby@flargh “neckbeardyness" needs to be my new social handle, lol.
Penguin@flargh I’ve often looked for a word to describe the Linux-ness of Mastodon, you picked a perfect one 🙂
Zack Stern@flargh I follow few (no?) neck beards, it’s my protip.
Darby Lines@flargh Mastodon is basically a Pacific island where some lone Japanese soldier still thinks he's fighting World War II.
@angry_drunk Speaking of which, did you read Doctorow and Stross' happy horseshit about the Cult of Mac? Sorry to break it to both of them but there hasn't been a cult in about 15 or 20 years. I mean, Kahney was beating a dead horse when he wrote the fucking book.
@flargh I make it a point to ignore Doctorow and Stross as much as possible.
Scott@angry_drunk @flargh absolutely this
Bynkii@flargh @angry_drunk the both of them are one-trick ponies with everything. No matter what or who, if they aren’t perfectly pure, they’re the devil.
