Slack-a-mole (n.)

The act of visiting #Slack channels and reading messages until your work day is completely wasted.

Slack yak (n.)

A person who is in too many Slack channels and comments and/or emoji reacts to everything, even if it's not relevant to their job.

RCMP continue to brutalize Wet'Suwet'en defending their unceded land. RCMP have erected an "exclusion zone" the same way they did a little over a year ago. Trudeau's government is continuing to aid Coastal Gaslink in giving them access to land that doesn't belong to them.

Sigh. DRM is difficult to fight against, but it's the knot that needs to unravel for the cause of software freedom.

Most people don't care & end up supporting it. If we pay to see what everyone's talking about, we get counted as supporting it. If we don't pay & instead "pirate" it, worse they'll turn around and say "see, this is why we need DRM!".

What we really need to do is support artists to say "see, DRM is totally unnecessary to make a profit" by supporting indie artists.

the problem with goblin aggro in the current micro extended format is the curving on multicolor commitments and how badly it's countered by tempo in the meta

see? it's impossible to prove whether *i* don't know what im talking about or *you* don't
