I just have to say: Mastodon is better than twitter or X or bluesky or whatever.

(I have an ulterior motive for posting this)

@foone kinda have to agree and I gotta say as a long time twitter user it feels a bit weird to be on social media saying nice things about social media rather than complaining about it

sadly this didn't get put to the use I was hoping.
My screen was facing the wrong way, so Elon didn't see it.

I met Elon Musk, but it wasn't on purpose. I had this tweet up on my screen but sadly he was on the wrong side, so he just got to see the back of my laptop, with my trans pride cool crab sticker.

Back of a laptop. There's a trans pride flag sticker with a cool crab on it, and the text "trans people are cool, and we don't deserve your hate"

There's also three floppy disk stickers and an IBM PC sticker

@foone
Where did you meet him???

@negative12dollarbill he just showed up at my job!

@foone So... he saw the correct side of your laptop?

@foone It also can't be banned. Another benefit of decentralized social media.

@foone omg that must have owned him so hard tho, elon musk hates crabs*

* chatgpt told me this

@mcc anti-musk pride flag!

@alys @negative12dollarbill yeah that'd be even worse

@foone for a second i thought that sticker on the upper right was for the "Make a Lisp" project https://github.com/kanaka/mal

@alys @foone Make a Lisp is cool, but @mediaarchaeologylab is cooler

@foone I feel like the cool crab is a reference I'm missing??? I tried doing a search, but 95% of the results are posts from you without any explanation???

@lukeshu okay so:
The cool crab is a bit of clipart from Print Shop Deluxe. It's just an amusing image. The youtuber Lazy Game Reviews has featured it in several videos, and I've also adopted it as a sort of mascot.

There's really not any sort of meaning behind it. It's just a bit of funny clipart someone at Broderbund someone drew back in 1993
