As admin of a Mastodon instance I should be able to just use the compose toot window as a bash prompt.

Peridot would be proud.

Happy knife day, MSP Social!

Following people en masse without any content and with a provocative display name is probably going to get you silenced.

It's a bit extra but, still,,,

Canceled Amazon Prime after something like 10 years. It's a new era???

THEN I sent an email to that local ISP telling them we're about to sign a contract, asking if they'd serve us. Their reply? "We are already in your building and setting up to serve the apartments below you so this would be no problem whatsoever, who should we talk to?"

IN THE BUILDING.

Now we got a bid from them that's cheaper, faster, and less full of garbage and nonsense.

We almost locked into 5 years of bad deal because we didn't know what was going on literally under our noses.

Fuck!

They brought this set of facts to the annual meeting and said "well we have one option, and we want to sign the contract p.s. it's exclusive and shitty oh btw basically the same company we already have..." and I said Hold Up, you *need* to at least ASK the other ISP if they want to serve us?? We're about to sign away 88 households worth of internet revenue and not even ASK a much preferred local ISP if they want it??
