@mntmn hey, have I mentioned lately how excellent your alt text game has gotten? Well done.

@mntmn it goes up to 32GB‽‽! NICE

@arstechnica Caplan and Moreno are worth quoting but Musk is not. This article and headline brings discredit on your publication by centering and quoting a liar.

Please do not quote liars. There is too much of that going on these days.

@Gargron *points an infrared thermometer at @babe * that's weird, the LCD says "hot but also very cool"

(Seriously though, that sounds unpleasant, hope you're feeling better thermally regulated and less headachey soon)

@Gargron happy birthday!! Please accept these boosts

@mntmn that case frame looks gorgeous but the Cube O' Magnets™ looks terrifying

@Gargron well that's just adorable

@debian s/forth/fourth/

@mntmn huge if true

Heads up, Canadians: malignant melons on the market, mostly in Manitoba. #CFIA

@Gargron CATTES

@Gargron oh my god

@Gargron I worry about that, and I make a habit of visiting the local video store most weekends. I still think there is room to push back on this medium shift, but there is an incalculable amount of money pushing hard on the other side.

*ahem* @k8eb IS NOW ON MASTO

@mntmn both automatic cell recalculation¹ and rearranging rows & columns while automatically updating formula references do work now, but I think only in the last couple of years did they get particularly polished.

(I like the decoupling between data entry and formula evaluation, possibly because I got used to clock expressions in a different spreadsheet I used previously²³, but I think I'm in the minority.)

@mntmn argh, yes. For functionality and the text-first approach I am absolutely in love with the org-mode spreadsheet¹²³, but it's no good for simultaneous collaboration with other users.

@mntmn ah hell man, sorry

@mntmn oooOOOooo that's neat!

@Gargron I wonder if anyone looked at his cluckers
