@whirli thanks!
We have similar tastes it seems... you are not so smart is one of my favorites, the first podcast I fell in love for and it had quite an impact on my life!

No such thing as a fish and infinite monkey cage I also listen from time to time. Some episodes are good, some are meh. Good fillers. SGTTG is a classic as you say.

I do not know the other you mention, but I'll surely give them a try. Thanks a bunch!

Come on people, suggest me a #podcast

@liaizon Do you honestly consider your example to be on the same level of GIMP? Those would be two different situations for a multitude of reasons. Or is it more of a rhetorical question?

I didn't even know Gimp could be considered a bad word until today. That's the name of the project ,it always has been, all the docs and the search results point to GIMP.

They changed the name in the past, G stood for General, GNU was more to the point. That I feel was a good reason.

Would I use a program that is called Fuckhead without having to rebrand it and recompile it? Any time.

Anyway, its #FOSS, people can do what they want.

@liaizon It's a free world I guess, thanks #FOSS.

While it seems to me weird to fork mostly because of the name (come on...), they are going to contribute upstream, so hopefully it won't be a waste of energy.

@mkb
I didn't know about this. Sounds aweful.
@mngrif

@mngrif
#fedilabs rocks, and is packed with features

@Absinthe @Surasanji @freemo @mngrif they do, indeed.

@Surasanji wtf did I just see... =D

@Absinthe @Surasanji @freemo @mngrif

Honestly, I think it would make a good business too... I'd personally buy ants to eat.

@Surasanji nice ones. I missed your humorous posts!

@Surasanji
First, I didn't know ant keeping was a thing. Looks awesome.

When I was in Australia there were this green bottom ants, people ate that green part. It wasn't that bad frankly, i tried quite a few of them (You won't get your belly full, but it's something)

@Absinthe @freemo @mngrif

@dialyzer @Surasanji

I agree with everything @freemo said. I'd just add that federating is a delicate issue, you want freedom of speech, but also other instances to not block you, as that is crippling.

You want people to express themselves freely, which also means not be harassed for every post just because. And also, you want them to reach other people, that means not go into some block list (which is where many free-speech instances go).

Where is the line between hate and reasonable passion? How do you evaluate freedom?

It's very difficult to say, and I think we are also figuring it out as we go along.
So far having a very human approach (trying to solve everything by talking to people, instead of direct block) has proven to work, even if it's more time consuming. Can't say we are perfect though, and we like other users to chip in their thoughts.

I wouldn't know about making ever ban/silencing public... wouldn't want to create any feeling of public shaming or such... but maybe it wont' happen.

@dialyzer
Hi, can you please be more specific on what parts of the rules you are suggesting to remove/modify?

Thanks for the feedback

@freemo @Surasanji

@dantheclamman I see what you mean. Filler words as symptoms of broader problem is interesting, actually I can see them more used by students than by professors, by Ph.Ds less then student...

I am not sure that advocating for them as possibly useful tools is a good point (which is what the articles is trying to bring forward, as I understand), but they have a value, sure thing

@dantheclamman
Seems to me like there is not much here. If you are afraid people are going to interrupt you, just ask them not to do it.
The "being diplomatic" thing seems to me like doesn't belong here... if it's a way of driving the message across, is not a filler. And jumping in is not nice.

I really have troubles with people using filler words and sounds, I get defocused after a very short while =D

@freemo With Twitter i could, I could also set up a bot to transform their tweets into feed... couldn't with instagram and facebook though.
I was just venting how I profoundly dislike their choice of not using Atom/RSS, actually.

I would like to follow my professor profile on instagram. Also, there are a couple of twitter accounts I like, and some places on facebook that only post there their events.

I could do an account for each of the places I'd like to get info from but frankly, beside the hassle, it would be time consuming to just go in every website every time to check.

Ah, if there only was a technology that allowed us to, oh I don't know, "aggregate" the news... so that I get something like a notification when something happens, and it could even download the content.

Oh, that would be so nice, I'm sure everybody would use it.

@dadegroot dominion is one of the best card games. Seems like a great afternoon!
