@hybotics I can't afford it right now, either. Gotta pay off the old phone first.

Our department head, who is Jewish, brought in macaroons for everybody because Passover. It is a good day. :-)
@ukhaiku I'm seriously considering a Pixel or Pixel XL when my iPhone is due for replacement. I'm mostly on Google services anyway, so it would make some sense.

@indigo Putting anything on the Internet and then thinking you can completely delete it is, at best, delusional. It's like pouring a glass of water into the ocean and then trying to retrieve it.
If one doesn't want something out there forever, it shouldn't be uploaded in the first place.

Thought for the day, before I go head-down and nose-to-the-grindstone for the next 9 hours or so:
There's an conversation over on Pnut about character limits, started when I observed that the 500-character limit on Mastodon and the even bigger limit here means that the 256 limit on Pnut feels confining now. The point was made by @bazbt3 that there were challenges in changing that caused by the ADN legacy; I maintain that eventually the limitations of a dead network will need to be overcome.
I suspect, however, that there are those for whom the 256 limit is sacrosanct, and they will oppose any change no matter what, much as there are Twitter partisans who insist the 140-character limit is defining and wonderful and right.
In other words, people are always the problem.
