Use programming-positive language!

🚫 DON'T say "arbitrary code execution vulnerability"

✔️ DO say "surprise extension API"

forget the fucking mandated breathalyzer in new cars or whatever. what we really need is a device that detects if you are mad that a cyclist exists, and gently slows your car down to 3 mph until you get over yourself

Hey, you! Yeah, you, person that’s spent the last two years wearing your mask and getting your shots and just quietly doing the right thing. I just wanted to say thanks. One day we’ll be through this and it’ll be because of people like you. You rock.

There’s a special place in $hell for programmers who disable pasting in confirmation input fields.

Does it count if 1490 of those words are pointing out the philosophical and (some of) the technical problems with web3, before finally noting that IndieWeb deals with all of it? 🙂

I wonder how long will it take for people to realize that the only decentralized currency is a physical one 🤔

You can't shut down trade with cash, gold, etc..

I don't know what the big deal is. Statistically most trees will never catch fire. The mortality rate for trees that catch fire is less than 1%. This is a total non-issue.
