Turns out the gym and leather photos are simply not there on Aphyr's twitter anymore—there were a lot of them a while ago, but apparently run-ins with Twitter moderation didn't work out in their favor, and all that's left are infrequent text posts on LGBTQ.

So yeah, quite a blunder.

By the way, it feels like the ‘fault vs responsibility’ theory might help with the moderatorial musings—but I'm having trouble finding a serious source, since Will Smith happened to say something on it. Not even sure if those are the words used for it in academy.

Ah! Somehow I completely missed that they're supposed to be fashion designers. Thanks.

Well I guess then that to understand the appeal of ‘Drag Race’ I'll have to finally watch ‘Drag Race’.

Okay... thanks for the effort, at least. I've been meaning to get somewhat into early-ish burlesque, Brecht, that kind of thing. Maybe then I'll be able to watch drag shows with vague understanding.

Well apparently I need an AI to tell me what's ‘trolling’ on HN, because gym and leather don't mean ‘dumb flamewar’ to me. If mentions of gym and leather trigger HN's crowd, I don't see how that's my fault.

There's this clip showing some experiments for the benefit of schoolchildren: https://reddit.com/comments/y2kjmi

I'm guessing this is an ongoing thing, and since the clip popped up on Reddit it seems at least ‘social media’ pick up on such output.

Yep, I could see myself using PM just as a replacement for Gmail, since they have a semblance of a brand and reputation in this space—plus at least somewhat privacy-oriented attitude, which is more than many others got.

I'm pretty sure Proton didn't invent IMAP, and from the protocol log it seems like IMAP insists on the incrementing ids. Probably thanks to it having been designed in the late eighties and early nineties.
