The first version of the verify me browser plugin has a birthday balloons Easter Egg, but when it became run on demand that was dropped

interesting, the web chat viewer renders the balloon ok ^ but not the cake: https://chat.indieweb.org/2022-03-11#t1647010113029400

[[snarfed]] Happy Birthday Tantek!!! 🎈
#
[tantek]
obligatory: the cake is a lie
#
[aciccarello]
Our project manager at our remote company used to always tell us there'd be cake at meetings. It was always a lie.

I don't see a cake in Discord.

I don't see a cake in IRC either. I think it's a custom slack emoji not a real emoji
#
[snarfed]
hmm no pretty sure it's unicode
#
[snarfed]
"birthday cake" Unicode: U+1F382, UTF-8: F0 9F 8E 82
#
[snarfed]
maybe Slack has its own copy? trying the unicode char more carefully: 🎂
#
sknebel
the latter two I can see
#
sknebel
and show up in webchat
#
[snarfed]
aha those are visible on https://chat.indieweb.org/ . guess I used Slack's custom : birthday : instead. sorry, nm!
#
[tantek]
Slack bug
#
aaronpk
strange that slack didn't map that to the actual emoji
