@kq nobody in the world cares about that, honestly web-land friends and folks, no one cares that you saved 80% on storage. It’s all invisible voodoo to 95% of the people using the net. Maybe more.

@kq Why WebP? I hadn’t even heard about this. Does google want to own everyf*ckingthing digital?

@kq that’s probably it. safari offers to download the resource…running on High Sierra—what! yeah.

@kq I really like the visual conversation (those balloons) we all recognize as an invitation to participate. btw some images resources are not rendering for me.

@kottke Why is she/are they concerned? Isn’t the idea to unseat white men where possible? This should be celebratory, no?

No, because that would be gross, that would be something white men would do.

So instead lets’ obscure the class prejudices and delusions the author (and everyone else, too) entertains, and blame Elmer Fudd and Frank Sinatra for not trying hard enough anymore. C’mon.

Everybody rises who pays fealty to scientific management and class dominance. If you let me in the club, I’ll help us keep the rest out.

And I realize that you’re just pointing at this, Jason, but I have to attach the thread to an existing garment :-)

@hollie serene. I like the small group of friendly green giants on the left in that stand of trees. :-)

@manton I think a motivation for me (context: using twitter) was the possibility of serendipitous discovery, not the people at the node themselves being the trophies, but the ideas they discussed, the art they shared, the personal and pedestrian expressions in quips and images and so on; taking part in that is good clean fun.

It is quite clear to me now, however, that a sample set that large is not needed—in fact it works agains the sorts of experiences I went there looking for in the first place.

Obviously I am saying that the dynamics here seem far superior to what else is on offer at that scale. Is there a magic number, an optimal range for community? Probably not, more a frequency thing, I think.

Anyway, thanks to you and team for making this place/ software-situation/ service/ community/ well worth it on many levels. ❤︎ ⚧ ꩜ ᰾ 𐩕
