@gerikson @cstross the domino meme with the small domino being “ESR takes over the Jargon File” and the largest one being “Musk destroys the parts of geek culture not already owned by Marvel”

@acb @gerikson @cstross esr taking over maintainership and then adding in his own made-up terms and ugly politics really does feel like a harbinger of all this. It also feels similar in the way the institution (Jargon File/Twitter) got taken over and corrupted-in-place.

@Landa @acb @gerikson @cstross Maybe he thinks his Aunt Tillie should fix it?

@m Well, seems like she's still busy with her guru meditation class or putting the wrong certificate onto cats.org, so it's still ISO-8859-1 pretending to be UTF-8 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
