In good news, the US NLRB ruling that nondisparagement clauses are void is apparently _retroactive_! Meaning everyone is now free to talk about former employers: ogletree.com/insights/nlrb-gen

@AlSweigart My related perennial favourite is www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slsh_k
@jacob Yes, that's very fair. I imagine it's just a case of "you see what you're familiar with" for me at least - some of my favourite panel shows are basically just gameshows but with comedians screwing around.
@jacob In my view, a panel show is just a thinly veiled structure to give a set of people people opportunities to be funny - it's a stretch, but I think it fits. Glad it exists, either way!
@jacob You have no idea how glad I am that some Americans finally figured out another good panel show format!
@chrisjrn Unfortunately my landlord does not accept that as a reason that I should have the place rent-free until 2025.
It is somehow already time to renew my workshop's 3 year lease. How time flies!
@mralex Thought of you when I heard the news. Industry is in a bad place :(
@mralex While I can't compare the low-glare screen to the base model, I do think it helps.
Delighted a local transportation planner on the ski lift yesterday when I said that I liked the resort charging $10 for parking if you were in a car by yourself (there's a free bus to it with free parking down in Boulder)
We then had a lovely chat about the London congestion charge and if double-decker buses were electric yet.
@rimu I have already turned its run interval and numbers down significantly for this reason. Ideally we'd have servers forward replies through for boosted posts and stop all this!
@rimu I am thinking about how we can do it without overwhelming other servers.
Well, trying to get a liquor license for an event in Colorado (to give it away for free!) appears to be far more difficult than getting a license to close 10km of roads for 4 hours. Fun.

After @matt mentioned it, I set this up on my own personal instance and wow, being able to see more replies to things is so nice: github.com/nanos/mastodon_get_
This really needs to get added to the protocol somehow.
@davesnider Oh, the timeline view is a really lovely idea (and nice execution, too!)
@mralex It's unfortunately hard enough to find other sensible domain names.
@ehmatthes One of the accessory ones - the One LT I think it is.
Colorado's state parks continue to not disappoint. Popped down to Mueller for the weekend with the van!
While I appreciate the CEO emailing us about it, learning that the now-failed SVB was our primary bank is not the best news, to say the least.
I never thought "which bank do me and my friends' companies use" would suddenly be so relevant.
Always enjoy reading the local paper. Important news this month is that a pizzeria has changed owners, a local school is putting on a performance of Newsies, and a local film professor has reviewed the Oscar nominees.
@Chrisgodwin Allowing time acceleration with engines on makes such a big difference, too! I can finally use the low-thrust, high-ISP engines without being very bored.
@freakboy3742 @tveastman Oh yes, that one totally slipped my mind. It's very good!
