i submitted an issue to mastodon to deal with this although i’m not optimistic about it actually getting fixed

oh, apparently homebrew sets up the initial database cluster that way, thanks homebrew 🙄

okay so my local development environment is setting up databases with a locale of `C` despite my environment clearly specifying a `LOCALE` of `en_US.UTF-8` and why the fuck

lemme just check the database configuration for mastodon……

mastodon *says* you should post to Discourse for support instead of Github, but as best as i can tell no mastodon developers actually check the Discourse

pseud support on kibicat mastodon? 🐚 maybe someday

my profile kinda makes it look like i’m plural but no i just have a lot of pseuds

tfw u no tiene sexo

but anyway the fact that each unown letter has a corresponding english verb associated with it (via the Unown Report) screams “rune” to me

the name of is ​​​​​ for example

my understanding as someone who cannot read japanese is that this is a translation error, and the original pokédex entry just calls them “ancient characters” and not hieroglyphs specifically

i find it funny that the unown letters are often compared to hieroglyphs when they are much more similar to runes
