Yeah, this isn't meant to be financial thing; but rather genericizing the concept of "like", which has always been the application of one specific reaction using graphics. Unlike slack, you could only choose one per post. themes: traditional: ❤️ agree/disagree: 👍👎 or 💩❤️ scales: 🍺🍻🥃🥂 💤👓😒💯 🥇🥈🥉

What if Bluesky didn't support "likes" natively and you had to subscribe to reaction services/streams that offered customized Boolean reactions 💩 or 👍 or 👎. How would interaction be different? Maybe it's the poster that subscribes their posts to these, rather than the reader.

This flying monkey is super coiffed. And that jacket looks like it could take a beating on the pavement and still remain stylish if this simian tumbled his hog.

Is it just me or do these portraits just look like the cast of Seinfeld circa 1860.

She's smooth. Like ice. Cold to the touch and it isn't very nice.

It is interesting that more people have an opinion about the lack of -e on the name of the creat(2) syscall than have even recognized that the name of the syscall used to send a signal as IPC is called kill(2).

That scene in The Fate of the Furious where Dom pulls a Moe and Three Stooge'd these cars by knocking their heads together.

Imagine waiting for someone else to stop skeeting so you can. All ports are busy. There are 5 users ahead of you.

There was a time when larger physical media was guaranteed to mean more storage space.

What does it mean for a compiler to provide file-sharing and record-locking features?

The Wizard's speech as the balloon is about to leave the Emerald City is pretty much "Sorry I fucked up your society with my authoritarian holographic talking head, but I'm gonna bounce, and I'm leaving this dude with no brain in charge". www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeche...

"Make my henchmen some spears!" "Me? I am but a lowly calligrapher." "Get it done."

What's with these dudes with bayonets around the balloon platform? The wizard is quite full of himself if he thinks he needs this kind of protection from the people of Emerald City. #wizardofoz

"I'm recruiting a Pinball Hustler." "Why?" "An area I want to move into is controlled by a Pinball Wizard & I need to flesh out my stable with someone who could beat him" "You have a stable?" "Of hustlers. Pool, gambling, golf, karaoke are the big ones. The line up is a little thin in places."

The Seinfeld episode where Kramer finds the set of the Merv Griffin show in a dumpster, but it's the Munchkin village set from the Wizard of Oz.
