@Quinnypig There are already so many paths up that particular mountain.

It’s gonna be worse than JavaScript frameworks.

@tek holy shit

@tek I mean I’ve been voting in favor of legalization at every opportunity despite not using, because i think it’s among the dumber enforcements.

But I didn’t think the federal government would budge in my lifetime.

pretty sure @IamMrsGeek correctly identified a rental listing scam.

Hanlon’s Razor could apply, in which case these folks be so hacky no reasonable person would want to give them their money.

also also

habits like this are why i am never happy with vim emulators

@molly0xfff from what I’ve seen of how the Fediverse skews, more granularity for us olds may have been good.

@lordbowlich @molly0xfff feels to me more like Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Mycenaean Collapse, but that works too.

Gonna give it a shot, anyways.
