OpenStreetMap, Open source things, smash bad things
witches.town appears to have left this world for the moment, perhaps the walls to other worlds were a little thin. It'll probably return #WitchesTown
I think I'll move over to @[email protected] It's good for the #fediverse if we decentralise. Also witches and all the gunky stuff.

Take note of the people in your life who think that guy "should've just got off the plane"

These are the people who report their neighbors

Uh oh someone sent me a box of masculinity again.

I really believe that command line programmes should abort if they get a command line flag they don't recognise. I just spend ~1 hour because I had a typo in a flag. (--minzoon vs --minzoom).

The user should be told they did something wrong, and how to fix it, rather than the programme continuing on and using a default value instead.

Where are my #OpenStreetMap people? Who here does #OSM stuff? OSM is great 😁

When you design a CoC for your #Mastodon or #GNUSocial instance, remember that you want enough strictness to:

- Kick ESR off if he shows up
- Aggressively ban botters & 4chan
- Shut up the nazi-brigade when they come
- Protect your users from abusive third parties.

People still fretting about "owning" their username on every instance.

I'm loving Silicon Valley (the TV show). It think it's a wonderful, and accurate, piss take of actual SV stuff.
