WCDT strips 4106 - 4110 (7th to 11th October 2019)
Meyowmix:
I have a personal hope for May's body woes:
Roko goes back to the mainframe for a while to recover from her dissociation problem. She decides to start trying some new chassis to find a better fit, selling off her old chassis and working hard to make something happen. Spookybot "helps" by custom modifying a chassis, that Roko will learn later.
The gofundme that is set up for May attracts very little attention, and May gets a little despondent. Then she complains, and Sven publishes a love song "I fell in love with a Fighter Jet" and donates the money to her. It isn't enough for a new chassis and she ends up buying Roko's old chassis. Hijinks ensue.

I don't know. It is a strange phrase to use as a handshake.
I just wish I could read the waveforms... it might shed better light on it.

You clearly haven't been around very many old timer CW* ham radio operators or military "dit chasers."
It's been well established since the early days that the different speech bubbles are how Jeph indicates electronic sounding voices. An AI with rounded speech bubbles is using a more high fidelity voice. IIRC, Momo is able to use both. I've always assumed she doesn't use a human voice all the time because there's a cost in battery power and processor cycles.
*Continuous Wave, a constant signal switched on and off to form the dits and dahs of morse code.
Near Lurker:
Yeah, it does seem like the sort of thing that would become second-nature to those immersed in it. Like typing - I remember at one point getting a rude awakening with how few older adults, especially older men, could type. It was something that when I'd spent more time around twenty- and thirty-somethings (who are now thirty- and forty-somethings), just wouldn't occur to me, the same way you assume, without quite realizing it, that someone you meet will be literate.

I'm told using swearwords from a dead religion in a dead language makes for a strange password, but it works well enough.
EDIT: not sure if I'm phrasing that well enough.
EXAMPLE: Swearing by Osiris' missing dong or Ra's eye, or whatever in the kmt language. (No, I'm not using that one.)
EDIT2: typo fix
