Picard diversity tip: The fact that a crewmember looks alien to you does not make them any less of a Starfleet officer.

@ankitpati “reboggles” is a word that I made up to describe the concept independent of platform. after all, if you want to be that pedantic, not all my followers are on mastodon! 😂

okay, y’all passed, it’s been three hours and a hundred reboggles, and no-one has earned a one-way trip to the center of the sun by ever-so-helpfully informing me why the .gitignore isn’t actually literally 48 years old. gold star for mastodon 🌟

@0xabad1dea Well of course! No one was aware you were offering a one-way trip off this hot hell of a rock!

Do I still qualify (for the trip, that is) if I let you know that well actually, it isn’t “reboggles,” but “retoots” here on Mastodon?

@0xabad1dea @_yossi_ So, not that different from most of us.

But we still do. Connect to the Internet. Every day. Don’t we? *to your offline machines* Stay strong. You can do this.

@_yossi_ probably what's going to happen is they're going to tell us to start with an internet connection and then disable it when the installation is finished. Which is a complication for us, because the offline machines we have specifically reserved for such offline requirements have been rendered physically and emotionally unable to connect to the internet

so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light". '

@georgetakei Think about how ignorant the average person is and reflect on the fact that 50% are less informed.
