@cwebber@social.coop I love that Amazon just admitted that high-risk changes were pushed to production by Jr Engineers with no review by Senior staff. There's so much to unpack here.

@aeva @pupxel I had the same experience. I actually think the second version was a fantastic art piece. It looked cool, it was functionally interesting, and it was very much in the Rube Goldberg style if "over complicate a simple task on purpose". But his obsession with making it able to "go on a world tour" was an albatross around his neck he could never get past. The irony to me is that he handed it over to a museum and they *finished it* within a year.
It still can't tour. But it's complete.
Mastotip: If you tag person x in a DM with person y, both x and y will be able to see what you said. A common workaround is to put spaces between the @ sign and the username (I.e. @ sandrockcstm @ orbitalstation.one).
This is really key if you are discussing a moderation related issue with an admin, say if person x is harassing you. If you tag that person you can inadvertently get them to see the conversation. This is not clear from the UI and a common trap for new users.

@rwg@aoir.social Cockpit is pretty good, provided you're following the usual advice of locking it down so not just anybody can find the login screen and attempt to brute force their way in.

A strange, almost avant-garde sequel to 2004 Action/Sci-fi film I, Robot. It became controversial because of the producer's decision to not bring Will Smith back. Many speculate it was because of Will Smith's phobia of ice skating and East German Olympic judges.
