    @georgetakei Don't.

    @Richard_Littler it's the "mere exposure" effect.

    @Daojoan can we get a thing going where, instead of tricking people into accidentally listening to Rick Astley, we trick them into listening to Killing Joke instead?

    Still the same old security

    For the cash you've already spent

    @argv_minus_one @danirabbit I don't know! I'm just making a joke!

    But if you really want to find out, just post "#syntheticmeat has absolutely zero #ethical issues and is completely fine" here on Mastodon, and some joyless bastard will be around in 5 minutes to tell you you're wrong...

    @argv_minus_one @danirabbit well the problem is that synthetic meat isn't 100% completely perfect with zero ethical or environmental or taste or texture issues, so it's basically a complete waste of time.

    /sarcasm for Poes Law.

    @ChemicalEyeGuy @cstross also the "CE" in "ICE" stands for "Chaotic Evil".

    @rolle @hamishtpb The more good that you are doing, the higher the status you have, the more mana they can leach from you by finding something - anything - to criticise.

  • UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
    Ben CurthoysB Ben Curthoys

    @HighlandLawyer @cstross @capriciousday I don't see anything in the amendment that would apply to a business using e.g. Wireguard to access resources in an internal network. The definition of "relevant VPN service" "means a service of providing, in the course of a business, to a consumer, a virtual private network for accessing the internet". So B2C things only, not corporate VPNs.
