Part of the Twitter diaspora. I'm settled in now, and mostly just watch the TL scroll past in bemusement. He/him.

Made the cats a drinking fountain.

It's just a plant pot with a tiny pond pump and some pebbles.

All hooked up to a PIR sensor so it only runs when a cat passes by.

Mlemlemlemlemlem.

seagazelle come back

Cat: Bug #34638 filed: food bowl keeps emptying

Me: closed as duplicate, this is by design, WONTFIX

Cat: Opening bug #34639. It is 11am. Food bowl still empty.

Me: You were fed at 8am. WONTFIX.

Cat: Fundamental disagreement with moderator. Opening dispute resolution process.

We recently acquired a new wool blanket, by which I mean the cat recently acquired a new wool blanket.

Just saw somebody use the coinage "Welpschmerz" and I finally have a word to describe my attitude the last couple years.
A QA tester walks into a bar. They order 1 beer. They order -1 beer. They order 2,147,483,648 beers. They order 🍕✴️🐓 beers. They order a bee.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

LIFE HACK: Before spending seventeen bucks on Marie Kondo’s book, why not read the entire works of William Morris, which are in the public domain?

Men: I'm a strong tough MAN, I like dirty shit and gunmetal colored electronics. I carry a TACTICAL flashlight so I can SURVIVE anything.

(Seagazelle rips out all her arm hair in one go, uses a literal drill to fix a broken nail) haha cool I guess 

OK, up until now the answer is “no, it’s kind of awful,” but I didn’t even know I’d been quoting this bit for 30-odd years.
