The #fediverse has all sorts of custom #emojo packs. Neocats, neofoxes, neobots, neoraccoons... Has anybody made a set of #octopus emojo?

Those of you who have every played with Markov Chains know what I'm talking about, and what that implies.

@MissConstrue@mefi.social @mttaggart@infosec.exchange @mav@masto.hackers.town Exactly! Mentioning it isn't exactly a good idea in interviews, though.
Replying to
@ELS@sfba.social @dbattistella@mstdn.ca No, it isn't. But somebody has to do something useful to help. And they're the original professionals so they're not fly-by-night.

@randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @earthshine@masto.hackers.town @MissConstrue@mefi.social @maddiefuzz@masto.hackers.town Thiel and Altman have been acting like they won for a few years now. And so far nothing's proven them wrong.
Replying to
@MissConstrue@mefi.social @randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @earthshine@masto.hackers.town @maddiefuzz@masto.hackers.town You're not wrong. One of my former employers (from about 15 years ago) didn't notice the easter egg I hid in the company website until the day they were acquired.

@randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @earthshine@masto.hackers.town @MissConstrue@mefi.social @maddiefuzz@masto.hackers.town Not much of a mystery that the last of the accessible assassination markets got taken out and none have arisen yet to take their place.
Replying to
@theorangetheme@en.osm.town @ryan@m29.us It's an HN user meetup. I wouldn't expose anybody to the risks there. I trust 'em about as far as I can throw a Buick.
Replying to
@MissConstrue@mefi.social @randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @earthshine@masto.hackers.town @maddiefuzz@masto.hackers.town Something that doesn't get talked about much is, Thiel keeps contact with people who are useful to him. And he has no problem throwing people under the bus when he's done using them.
This list could be setting up some people he doesn't keep around but could be thrown to the wolves (like the 💾 🐴 is effectively doing online right now) as a distraction. Or because he doesn't like them (see also, Gawker).
Replying to
@theorangetheme@en.osm.town @ryan@m29.us If the local Meetups are any indication, it's the former. The latter tend not to show up.
Replying to
@robchapman@ohai.social @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Get me a scanning-tunneling microscope and I can fix that.
Replying to
@randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @earthshine@masto.hackers.town @maddiefuzz@masto.hackers.town To put it another way, the contents of the list could be a lie. Everybody spends their time digging into it and we miss what Thiel is really doing at that moment (like finishing his relo to Argentina).

Replying to
@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social They don't say it because they're afraid of being next. It's not uncommon for friends and family members to be the next targets if someone speaks out.
