@olaf Say what you like about LinkedIn, but it's by far the best website for the thing I use it to do: accepting LinkedIn connection requests

@winfried @nixCraft Certainly thought about it a lot... But validation requires a whole set of related queries and responses, while dig is really best suited to a single query and response - it's basically just a test tool that got out of hand. Every time we've tried glomming more sophisticated things onto it like +trace or +sigchase (which was sort of a validate option), it's never worked very well.

But, delv has a full validating resolver built into it, so it can answer anything named can.

@elfin @cpm I'm pretty much gone from social media now, but I looked you up to tell you the news, in case you hadn't heard. Saw pictures of mtaht, so I figured you must know already.

Yeah, that was a hell of a good day. Just one of many weird cool things that happened to me pretty much entirely because he was my friend. Guts me that he's gone.

@elfin @juliewebgirl oh, it was a metaphor? okay then.

I don't get along with hierarchies either.

@elfin @juliewebgirl

I remember the drive, but haven't the vaguest recollection of any such conversation

@Alien_Sunset @marnanel

As an American myself... well, yeah, that's fair.

But, to incorrectly identify something as Victorian, one must first know the word "Victorian". In which case, they've probably at least got a mental image of the Muppet Christmas Carol. And even if that was the outer limit of their knowledge, it would surprise me for someone to think world war two was happening then.

@marnanel

Perhaps they were thinking of The Magician's Nephew, which has been (stupidly, IMHO) relabeled as the "first" Narnia book, and which does take place in the Victorian era?

@ondrej wow, what did you do to this guy - give him software for free?
@jwz I'm following instructions

@loresjoberg

I expect you've already thought of it, but the obvious pop culture thing that popped in the last 20 years is MCU characters.

Also, a bunch of social media platforms. I mean, you could do a whole set just of "alternatives to Twitter" at this point.

On a different note, did you ever do "stages of grief"? Cause, you know, acceptance usually gets all the praise, but denial's a real trouper.
