@MetaAndrewT. To be fair, making stuff up and passing it off as fact is nothing new for religion.

hehe still not more than my inbox unread items! 1167 vs. 1200 :P
@MetaAndrewT. nah. Not more disturbing than millions worshippers of spaghetti around the world. Lost souls (literally, IRL) would hook to anything, and find their "destiny" there. Now it's the turn of AI to become a religion, but as the world didn't end when spaghetti god arised, it won't end with that silly new trend as well.
It will end due to AI, sure, but in other methods.
@BigJoe maybe in the first few weeks, but over time... well, it's just some annoying banner popping for everyone.

@BigJoe I get uncharacteristically happy
@EleezatheOtherWorldWizard Pascal's been dead for 350 years so yes, kinda old

@M.A.R. that's the pill, not the hour.
:D
@M.A.R. impossible, I've used Pascal... 20 years ago.
@EleezatheOtherWorldWizard I learned a bit about Ada. lol (huh, was sure it's upper case, but it's not.)
Ada (programming language)
Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level programming language, inspired by Pascal and other languages. It has built-in language support for design by contract (DbC), extremely strong typing, explicit concurrency, tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and non-determinism. Ada improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors. Ada is an international technical standard, jointly defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the International Electrotechnic...
Note: about, we didn't learn how to use it. ;)

hmm
@mousetail when did you add sub totals to the open letter page? Thanks! :)
Sign @rene is away for long time: he didn't even post the weekly "stay alive" message in the chat rooms. Some might actually freeze soon.
(including trash can, where I can't help myself as it's gallery)
@rene hope you're fine! Did you take the strike to some next level? ;)

@Mithical pin?
Also, @Mithical is there a list of the strike organizers? Didn't know Nick is one, for example.

Not really. There are a lot of people involved. Nick is one of the Discord mods, though, who have de facto been handling a lot of the coordination.

The part about the optics is exactly where my head is at - if quality no longer matters it's unclear why I'm here. And I'm really struggling to read it any other way. — Flexo Jun 7 at 21:32
Ahh, to be fair, hasn't it been like that since 2013?

@MetaAndrewT. Honestly, with the restrictions on it that make politically correct, it probably did a massively better job than some of the preachers my parents made me listen to...

@ShadowWizardStrikesBack credit for the solution goes to @mousetail - I made the initial version that was server-side, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a client-side solution mainly for concerns over usage of first-party cookies to make it work without JS.
@ShadowWizardStrikesBack we have a privacy policy now xD
