<ELLIOTTCABLE> relevant lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'd totally work for Facebook. I hate it. Would still work there.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 1. Can do more good from the inside is a truism;
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 2. Money,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 3. Can just create a new account for work, and not share it with anyone / use it outside a private tab slash FireFox container
<ljharb> i think itโ€™s silly to delete your account tho, ftr
* ELLIOTTCABLE nods
<ELLIOTTCABLE> collection of reasons I can get away with this
<ljharb> i mean, "getting away with itโ€ is about pragmatism; if your life is such that you wonโ€™t lose touch with anyone you want to be in touch with, then thatโ€™s simply not an obstacle
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and I've wanted to do this for *years*, tbqh. "Cambridge Analyitica" is just a convenient excuse for the normies.
<ljharb> wanted why?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I fucking hate Facebook as a product and social style, outside of any moral framework
<ljharb> ok, why is that?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> discord? my Colemak ain't quiiiiiite yet up to snuff for such an in-depth convo
<jfhbrook> I have crits of fb but I really do legitimately like the experience
<ELLIOTTCABLE> actually nah I need to focus
<jfhbrook> like I don't hate-read facebook, not usually
<ljharb> ELLIOTTCABLE: lol i can wait til youโ€™re up to snuff on it
<ljharb> as for discord, discord is shit UX and i refuse to ever use it
<jfhbrook> also linkedin hit me up and now I'm watching a presentation on kafka
<ljharb> (or rather i strongly prefer to never use it)
<jfhbrook> and I clicked the [x] yes your recruiters can talk to me button
<jfhbrook> discord's ok
<ELLIOTTCABLE> exactly how I feel about Facebook rrofl
<jfhbrook> discord's gamertags are interesting
<ljharb> lol
<jfhbrook> like your handle wouldn't be ljharb, it would be ljharb#1234 meaning I could have ljharb#456 and they'd be distinct
<ljharb> ELLIOTTCABLE: facebook has some UX things it needs to improve, but in general i think they do an ok job
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Twitch, FaceTime, but those aren't group soooo
<ljharb> lol, numbers. thatโ€™s gross. like old aol
<jfhbrook> I tbh think slack is the best of the proprietary messengers
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what!
<ljharb> slack is pretty great
<jfhbrook> what? are you like a skype fan or something??
<ELLIOTTCABLE> good lord I h8 Slack more than any other
<jfhbrook> surely not hipchat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> even FB messenger jesus
<ljharb> it has specific issues - around threads, for one, and around the new thing where display names donโ€™t have to be unique but are at-mentionable
<ljharb> lol what? slack is way better than FB messenger
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wow my Colemak has really come along )_)
<jfhbrook> fb messenger is decent but not great for group
<jfhbrook> and doesn't support customization
<ELLIOTTCABLE> well if there's one thing I can take away from this convo, it's that conversations are *not* a solved problem 0_0
<jfhbrook> like we have a ton of custom emojis in our slack
<jfhbrook> oh yeah def not, slack has its warts too
<ljharb> custom emojis are <3
<ELLIOTTCABLE> o god no
<jfhbrook> we made lacroix and spindrift emojis so we can argue about which one sucks more, with emojis
<jfhbrook> we also have some great triggers
<jfhbrook> "pour it" causes slack to post the "burnsauce" gif
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I refuse to use any platform where anybody can inflict *more* goddamn travestyfaces on me ;_;
<jfhbrook> "womp womp" posts a TPIR losing horn yt vid
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I miss purr ugh
<ljharb> i have a whole folder full of about 50-60 slack emojis iโ€™ve added
<ljharb> ELLIOTTCABLE: เผผ ใค โ—•_โ—• เผฝใค

<jfhbrook> I was an irc die-hard until I realized that eventually the only people that are gonna be left on irc are ancient greybeards, and nazis
<ELLIOTTCABLE> same
<pikajude> nazis use irc?
<jfhbrook> yeah pikajude tons of them
<pikajude> oh noey
<jfhbrook> nazis will use anything that doesn't have utterly amazing moderation
<jfhbrook> free speech, etc
<ELLIOTTCABLE> discord seems, by far, to be the best combination of ease-of-onboarding, features for regulars/powerusers, and low friction for management/moderation
<jfhbrook> so irc rooms where the mods are asleep, great place to talk about your odious opinions on race
<pikajude> mmm, opinions
<ELLIOTTCABLE> the excellent audio is at that point just icing.
<jfhbrook> ok I'm getting tfo, wanna get home and get high and write back to facebook
<jfhbrook> and probably ask pikajude what the interview is like lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> can plz not odious opinions on drugs
<jfhbrook> marijuana is Good, Actually
<pikajude> well i just did the eng interview
<ELLIOTTCABLE> where odious := talking about them as if they are normal and okay
<jfhbrook> you skipped the line pikajude ?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> v. triggering
<pikajude> what's the line
<ELLIOTTCABLE> holy shit that was fast pikajude
<jfhbrook> ELLIOTTCABLE I don't claim that it's actually healthy to smoke weed, but I'm not gonna lie and hide the fact that I'm a regular toker
<jfhbrook> we don't have to bro out over this Of Course
<ELLIOTTCABLE> jfhbrook: that's fine and good, no judgement;
<pikajude> ;;;
<jfhbrook> ok I'm out, pikajude if you have any insights I'll def read up
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but it's just about fucking impossible to find a space that's safe from mention of drugs nowadays. Thus, this is such a space. (=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> used to be no drugs, no politics, no religion; post-Trump, I think we can safely do away with the politics restriction, though. ๐Ÿ™„
<pikajude> yeah, can i get one politic please
<ELLIOTTCABLE> nop, only in pairs
* ELLIOTTCABLE dispenses two politics
<ljharb> the no hoMERS club
<pikajude> oh fuck

<pikajude> zounds
<pikajude> we're on a bridge old chum
<jfhbrook> trying to fix 2 node projects on windows now
<pikajude> i think i miss acne more than i miss nodejs
<jfhbrook> I kinda like it
<jfhbrook> but like
<jfhbrook> really wanna introduce typescript or flow here
<jfhbrook> I hear typescript's quality is better currently, that flow has a bunch of bugs
<jfhbrook> buuut that once they're smoothed out it may be better
<pikajude> sounds about right
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I want to bridge OCaml (well, reason) to Flow rrrrrreal badly
<ELLIOTTCABLE> pyrrh!
