  2. Matrix e2ee - It is honestly ridiculous that this is still a thing, but when encryption goes sideways, reactions are your best friend. Even when the message layer is completely broken, reactions usually still work. Encryption loves to fail in one direction, leaving you shouting into a void. If you suspect the keys are messed up, just ask: “Can you see this?”. Even if the other person can’t reply, they can usually still hit you with a reaction to let you know they’re there. The Mad Trix. Use it, because apparently, we have to. #matrix #e2ee #emoticon #reactions

  3. #Emacs: Has anybody a clue why I can't find 🕵️‍♂️ (male-detective; man-detective as of emojiace.com/man-detective ) via "C-x 8 RET"?

    I was puzzled not to be able to play around with it while reading the awesome article of rahuljuliato.com/posts/unicode

    Edit: I found it via: M-x emoji-insert (C-x 8 e i): People → Role → y

    I'd prefer to also find it via C-x 8 RET (search) though.

    Edit 2: graz.social/@[email protected]/115841 suggests that composed emojis aren't available for "C-x 8 RET". 😔 However, the linked article above explains how to compose it yourself from "SLEUTH OR SPY" (🕵️) and "MALE SIGN" (♂).

  4. In 1982, a physics joke gone wrong sparked the invention of the #emoticon
    #Fahlman entered the discussion with his now-famous post: “I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) Read it sideways.” He added that serious messages could use :-(, noting, “Maybe we should mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends.”

  5. Wie das Emoticon entstand: Die Geschichte hinter dem ersten Smileysymbol
    Am 19. September 1982 schlug Scott Fahlman an der Carnegie Mellon University eine neue Form der Kennzeichnung von Witzen vor. Daraus entwickelte sich das Emoticon, das unsere Online-Kommunikation bis h

  6. The white Republican Mormon governor of Utah was reading a furry OwO meme on national television yesterday and the poor bastard was completely clueless. And everybody in law enforcement and media and the press who thinks they do understand OwO actually thinks it's the same as UwU. I had no choice, I had to do a meme explainer.

    This bit in particular has bugged my aesthetic and semiotic sensibilities a bit.

    To my way of thinking:

    😋 - It is difficult for me to see this as anything other than an expression of enthusiasm for food. In contrast:

    :p or :P - I imagine these as an off-center pet "blep" or "poo brain" face (see attachments). In my mind this represents concepts like "my thinking is a bit misguided here" or "I'm a silly little guy". Similar to how I use🙃. But:

  10. Un interessante articolo di #storia dell'informatica: le #emoji probabilmente sono antecedenti rispetto a quelle introdotte dagli operatori mobili giapponesi nel 1999. Inoltre la parola non deriva da #emoticon.

    Not that anyone cares, but I developed and shipped my La Jolla, CA company Coconut Computing's COCONET software in 1988, with what I called "Emoticons" but were, in hindsight, very early #emoji. Even included an #Emoticon Picker that let you select which one to insert into your message. That alone would be worth billions in patent income for years afterwards to some company that didn't know about my prior art. (Or maybe they did?) Had only *I* known! :-/

    Just thought of something.

    Instead of calling it Vitamin D, we should call it...

    Vitamin :D

    (with apologies to #emoticon designers everywhere)

    (Btw, hope your week gets better.)

  13. Ooit had ik een andere 'meest favoriete emoticon, maar tegenwoordig scoort deze toch wel heel erg hoog: 🙈

    Onderdeel uiteraard van 🙉🙈🙊. Eigenlijk veel schattiger dan de gebruikelijke emoticons.

  14. I designed this "Y U No" t-shirt for my son and now I've ordered one for myself!

    I have a small range of t-shirts on Threadless of illustrations I've done over the years.

  15. @evanwolf These #emoji have meaning for me, are part of my social vocabulary. (Glad to provide translations if anyone cares.)

    But this list is specific to me and my tribe.

    It would be enormous fun to have additional #emoticon sets to freely, easily and safely share and trade. If you don't have a set, you see the text. If you do, you see the art. Inherently viral, social, meaningful. @Mastodon future social feature?
