What with the drama going on over at Twitter now, I'm reminded of how appreciative I am to have a site like Tildes that I actually feel like I can depend on. Happy birthday, and here's to another year!

Happy Birthday, Tildes! Everyone here is lovely.
Also, remember that there are no billionaires looking to scoop up our cozy little corner of the internet, so it’s on all of us to be the billionaires we want to see in the world (or something like that).
You can't just mention having a doggo on the internet and not provide pics. That's sacrilege! No pressure, but a pic would be nice ;) Also, happy b-day to Loki too. p.s. Here's Quincy, my OEB,...

No pressure, but a pic would be nice ;) Also, happy b-day to Loki too.
p.s. Here's Quincy, my OEB, lying in his usual spot on my couch. He turned 7 in Jan.
That first shot is SUCH a good picture! Loki looks so stately and regal. Meanwhile, the second one looks like it clues us in a bit more to his actual personality. 😆

Thanks on behalf of dog IRS! I had a feeling I could guess your dog's breed by his name which got me a) hoping there's an OEB named Æþelræd, and b) quickly peaking at a dataset on dogs. No Quincy!...

I had a feeling I could guess your dog's breed by his name which got me a) hoping there's an OEB named Æþelræd, and b) quickly peaking at a dataset on dogs. No Quincy! There's the expected Winston, Dudley, Deuce and Gunter. There's a Xena, Chaos, Brahma, Cronus, Norman Crownski Gapsky, Gannondorf, and Kletus. There's even a Loki (and a misentered Lo Key from another year). This has been a humbling coffee break.
That's a neat dataset. And I'm genuinely surprised there are no other Quincys in it! It means "estate of the fifth son", and he is my fifth doggo. The last place I lived before returning home to...
That's a neat dataset. And I'm genuinely surprised there are no other Quincys in it! It means "estate of the fifth son", and he is my fifth doggo. The last place I lived before returning home to Canada was Quincy, MA too, so it seemed a doubly appropriate name for him. :)
The dog we had growing up was called Primo for similar reasons. :) There were Quinc[e]ys in other breeds, just none in the ~42/320k OEBs. The OEBs did field a "Hat-trick" who I'm guessing was...

Somewhat off topic but is Tildes no longer accepting contributions? I had worked on an issue a while back and finally had the time to finish it off, but the link to new merge requests in the documentation is broken and when I try to create one from my branch to tildes/tildes:master it always reverts back to my own master branch.
Not that I am aware of, but I haven't been paying much attention to Gitlab these days, so something might have changed. cc: @Deimos, who is far better equipped to answer that and assist you.

I don't participate that much in any link aggregator or social site at this point, but it's still amazing that this place is 4 years old. I think it's one of the better places on the internet.

I would say it's probably unlikely. The last one happened in 2020 with no talk of one happening in 2021. It is certainly possible though. Grzmot did most of the heavy lifting and it appears they are still around (or at least they were as of April 1st). I'd love to see the results of a 2022 tildes census though.
IKR? But weirdly those 4 years also feels like decades with all the shit that has happened (and is still happening). "May you live in interesting times" is as much a curse as a blessing.

I haven't been here that long

What with the drama going on over at Twitter now, I'm reminded of how appreciative I am to have a site like Tildes that I actually feel like I can depend on. Happy birthday, and here's to another year!
Four years, wow, no way I've had an account here that long. Happy birthday tildes!
checks profile
Oh. Three years, eleven months. Cripes.
Wow look at this slowpoke. May 31st 2018? Man get with the program.
This is my time to shine.
Get off my lawn
Dangit, missed it by that much!
Alright, everyone. Single file now. Who’s got June 2nd?
Wow, it feels like such a short time ago, but so much has happened since then!
Props to Deimos and all the tilders for maintaining this little corner of sanity on the internet, and here's to many more years!
Happy Birthday, Tildes! Everyone here is lovely.
Also, remember that there are no billionaires looking to scoop up our cozy little corner of the internet, so it’s on all of us to be the billionaires we want to see in the world (or something like that).
It's not about the billions in your bank acount, it's about the billions in your heart.
Oh wow! I didn’t know tildes shared a birthday with my dog. :P
(Loki turned 9 years old today.)
You can't just mention having a doggo on the internet and not provide pics. That's sacrilege!
No pressure, but a pic would be nice ;) Also, happy b-day to Loki too.
p.s. Here's Quincy, my OEB, lying in his usual spot on my couch. He turned 7 in Jan.
As requested! https://pixelfed.social/p/autumn/424917592070529246
Thanks! And that's a mighty distinguished looking dog. I almost feel like he should be wearing a tophat and monocle. :P
That first shot is SUCH a good picture! Loki looks so stately and regal.
Meanwhile, the second one looks like it clues us in a bit more to his actual personality. 😆
Looks like a good dog to me
They're (all) good dogs, Brent.
Wow, did @brant lock down their account because of this exchange?
Thanks on behalf of dog IRS!

Happy Birthday Tildes and fellow Tilderinos! Can't believe it's been that long.
Somewhat off topic but is Tildes no longer accepting contributions?

Are we going to get another census?

Shit! How the fly times! I appreciate you.
Happy birthday Tilde.
Happy (belated) birthday, appreciate the site and the community!
Happy Birthday Tildes!
Aw that's totally sweet, man! I'm gonna get white girl wasted.

I haven't been here that quite that long, but at this point it's like Tildes has always been around.
Edit: okay, but I wasn't around at the beginning.

You've been here for over two-thirds of the site's lifetime. Shocking, I know.
