@michelmcbride @karaastone additional context: they have a flat structure, equal pay for all employees and don't keep much capital inside the company, so lots of people are taking those things as inherent within the coop model.

@isaackarth right: the message in the email is "can you do this thing" + "i am asking nicely", but of course you can't just say "i am asking nicely" because those words actually mean "i am being straight up aggressive"

@isaackarth the labor required to write the nice email provides a social cost that means you definitely have bothered to take time and effort to ask nicely... but automating that labor makes that signal less signal-ful.

this year i've read two novels that are, in part, about houses & bodies rooting away and getting covered in fungus & mushrooms. i'd recommend them both (Paradise Rot & Shriek: An Afterword). is there a third i should read to put me off the whole soft moist fantasy?

@katbamkapow I have! Shriek is another VanderMeer, and is a bit less unknowable, and more about everything rotting in place (also, running an art gallery).

pre-Corbyn, Labour's pitch was "like the Tories, but a bit less evil" now, the Tories' pitch is "like Labour, but less ambitious"

the Tories plan to spend £5 billion on fibre, but the same companies will run it and charge for it Labour announces they'll spend £20 billion on fibre, but nationalise part of the infrastructure and give everyone broadband for free
-
which doesn't mean they'll win! and Corbyn has some flaws, and Brexit, and, and. but it feels good to see people [who I broadly politically agree with] fighting to move the political center ground to somewhere better.
-
@em_cooper it makes some sense to me: - the expensive bit is the infrastructure, not actually running it - it makes sense for the government to invest in the infrastructure - so then why hand it over for private firms to profit on after
-
@em_cooper and if you have it run & provided by the state, then better to pay for it by taxing Internet firms who benefit from the UK having better internet, than by billing individual households (and so leaving the poorest unconnected)

@polclarissou the upside is that as soon as the money stops most of these established devs will stop prioritising iOS as a platform - these games are designed to be multi-platform, and they'll go to the next platform holder waving around a big bag of money for exclusives.
-
@polclarissou not that that helps folks invested in premium mobile games, and maybe Apple will capture an audience within Arcade that drains away premium mobile (or maybe they'll attract a new F2P audience for the rhythms of premium... less likely, but possible).
-
@Hoaxfish @polclarissou If you're on Apple Arcade, there's a bunch of hoops but you're being paid to jump through them, you can figure it out. If you're King, you have lots of money, you can figure it out. If you're small and doing it tentatively, you might well get filtered out. :/

I recently read CLR James' The Black Jacobins. It's a history of the founding of Haiti (a slave rebellion happening during the French Revolution) written in 1938 with a subtext aimed squarely at inspiring African independence.

anyway, as they talk about, there's a complicated intersection between committing to a thing making you better, wanting to follow your interests, even if they diverge and wander, but also wanting to be legible to the rest of society.

Personally, my various interests always seem to connect and inform each other in the end, so I'm happy in that respect. But I have complex and ambivalent feelings about being legible. Probably I should work on that.

@mink_ette I used this recipe bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/yummy-golden-syrup-flapjacks except I did something different at almost every stage. So that doesn't really help. Lemme write up something, I'm just stuck in an immigration queue rn.

@mink_ette Instructions as I remember them (without the bit where I forgot to put in any vanilla and had to take it out the pan again)

@tigershungry that was a queued up plane tweet (always dangerous to expose that mindset to on the ground reality). but this reply is on that slow slow wifi.

@HilariousCow do you use the app or the website? if you use the website, it is pretty doable to install a custom style sheet that removes everything but DMs
-
@HilariousCow if the app then... yeah, I have the same problem
-
@HilariousCow PS I recommend finding creative projects that you can do start to finish in a single sitting (including posting them online). it's the fun of creating things without the awfulness of committing to a new responsibility. bots, vines,... shaders on shadertoy?
-
@HilariousCow yeah, this is easier advice to give than take (what advice isn't, though). but the thing is, you can always go back and iterate further, it's just a new release rather than one more step towards a release.

@SerinDelaunay @xfoml @Autumnsburg @mtrc @tinysubversions I am pretty sure that there is a suitable number of backslashes to escape them! I can't remember exactly what that number is, but it'll be between one and six.

Just seen this story: bbc.com/news/technology-50567751. Summary: Twitter soon plans to deactivate accounts where no-one has logged in within 6 months. This will affect bot accounts that are actively posting. This will start coming into effect on the 11th December.
-
I don't think (and I have just read this news story now while waiting for this boat to depart back to Buenos Aires, so I haven't done any extensive research) that there's anything CBDQ can do to solve this problem. The site deliberately doesn't keep login info, just uses the API.
-
So: my advice is, if you care about your bot continuing to exist, set a calendar reminder to log into the account and click around a bit every 5 months. I'll be doing this for my bots.
-
Will update if I learn more.

@burrito_tim can you link that article? I can't see anything directly from Twitter, and that BBC article says the opposite.
-
@burrito_tim thx!

@burrito_tim ah, it sources that claim to the BBC's article, which says the opposite :(

@frozenpandaman There was a Verge article that said that, but their reference was this BBC article that says the opposite.
