@pigworker if it'd reached me, absolutely (and we did share some online space) - I've been much slower to adopt implementations than what thinking I could pull off without one
I would've still sent you that email in 2012, too - I'm glad that went places

@whitequark glad to know it wasn't just the utter bastards!
(am very much stuck here unless i want to claim a piece of heritage i don't speak the language for, and that'd almost certainly make things even worse - but i should sort my shit out about how i handle interacting with busy posters and not start a ukpol subthread)

@ratherforky when you remember that a lot of minicomputers had to handle multiple users and thus had early microcomputer quantities of ram available for tasks like shell scripting, horrifying amounts make sense unfortunately

@yacc143 @woozle @dave For that kind of material, it's the number of separate posts you have to mute that's bad - though if you . As few as five can more than ruin your day if it's not the first time round (let's face it: the wrong individual one can) and having to manually filter to get to anything else in your notifications is a thing. Especially when you're a normal enough user that it's not routine to you to start by looking at mentions only.
Stop thinking like a Twitter/X survivor and start thinking like a normal (if hopefully more aware) human being about this stuff. As you say, "normal usage" isn't supposed to include this shit happening to you, but you have to do the work to ensure that's not the case for any given category of people.
(and yeah, I have to admit I twitch in the aftermath every time I say something funny in response to a particular mutual and that's not even anything nasty coming my way: while I once made a particular high-profile list, I literally had worse on usenet)

@mei not that this unfucks things, but there's a prettyprinting haskell lib available and you can teach ghci to call it on output as well as call it on whatever you got from show yourself
(but I don't know the name off the top of my head and we'd both be playing "find the google search term")

@jonmsterling I found PTSes mildly more useful than some once upon a time, but only because I'd the sort of person who'd actually look at how to encode a record system in those terms.
They're still a huge problem the moment someone thinks everything should be describable as one!

@spli I think I managed to get through the entire form without providing an email address or similar: while I'm not too difficult to find, I think that might be one step more difficulty than ideal!
I'm on the Zulip if nothing else works and happy to provide an email address. For now I need to get to bed, but figured I should let you know there's been a hiccup. And, er, I really ought to remember to ask MS Office forms to send me a copy.
