@molly0xfff gorgeous yarn! Can we have a photo of the black finished object please??

OMFG what a morning. We are cursed for getting to Birmingham.

Everything was all going smoothly and we were all ready, and then our driver (who we saw a couple of days ago) tested positive for COVID.
So we panic booked trains and made it to the station, only for the train to Cardiff to be cancelled so we can't make the connecting train to Birmingham.

We are finally on a train to Cardiff and apparently they will honour our tickets for the next Birmingham train.

Could have done without this!

in the uk nowadays, every time you want to go to the toilet (even your own) you have to upload your ID. once you’ve done that, it’s pretty straightforward: they let you book in ahead of time, and it’s best to reserve a slot 3-4 days in advance, though if you have a toilet card (loocard saver or regular season card) its best to book at least a week in advance, because if there’s anything wrong with your ID/facial scan verification they need to escalate it to support which can take 5 working days

@fesshole

Be careful, there's a lot of poisonous tree leaves out there.

Hello and a good meowing everyone! Have a most wonderful day and stay safe ♥️😸

@publicvoit

Those who participate in @tusharhero 's cult have almost always already established themselves as members of another cult, so they've honed their anri-rational behavior in other areas. The most strategically practical thing to do about them is to drive them into the irrelevant backwaters of FOSS, like GNOME and NetBSD, where they can do their infighting, purity-testing, and vocabulary perversion without interrupting real developers. So: introduce LLM-friendly policies on purpose!

If you use Humble Bundle, surprise! They replaced their entire website with insecure slopcode garbage, so maybe delete your payment details as soon as possible there since there’s obviously no way this stays a good safe for long

Speaking of ANE ... should I go?

IDK, I went two years ago. Didn't last year. On the fence whether to go again.

@Rataunderground I wish they had contacted you, instead of me :D.

I do wonder how practical this would be for a project to do. Like as in, that would be a cool thing to do.

Publish and bind a book of project code.

I mean projects do t-shirts and stuff to fundraise for a project why not a book release for major versions?

@omgubuntu Hey, I think maybe you wrote this some time before publishing? The update with support for 51 is out, and it also have an option to remove the icon in the top bar! :)

Your idea of adding emojis is sooo good! I hadn't thought of that!

@hbons I've boosted a few, here's some:

immediately cast on a new project in this color because i have learned absolutely nothing

It's just such a cis-brained thing, like parroting the 'men are inherently evil and can't help but be bad and oppressive' isn't the radical statement you think it is. Especially coming from fucking white transfem (rich, I know you don't like to think of yourself this way, but you are and its almost certainly why you were able to transition and still live comfortably) tech workers. And like obviously fedi is skewed but still, that is a demographic with an outsize voice in queer spaces.

How can people think trans men dominate anything? Certainly in my local area, I have never seen queer spaces led by or exclusively for trans men, while there are for trans women. I can't even think of the last time there was a trans man speaker at anything. There's probably sample bias at work since I am reclusive and transfem but like come on. Plus the predominance of 'women and enby' spaces that deliberately exclude trans men, who often also won't be accepted into cis male spaces, queer or otherwise, and like just mind boggling.

G’morning. Making that soldier’s scolding of Kegsbreath my ringtone. Pentagon spokesman says “he was doing his job.”

My bet is both the sentinel AND that spokesman will be cleaning latrines for the remainder of the boss’s term.

@krafting I wish I had the energy. Pollution needs lots of planning. I can always forward recommendations, though, if someone has a good plan.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

Reddit got bad long before they restricted API access. That's what was the final drop for many people, but it wasn't the beginning at all.

I agree that growing would be a benefit for Lemmy though. While I wouldn't dismiss the dangers of a growing community entirely, we can just defederate from or block problematic parts in theory. So I wouldn't say we're in quite the same danger as centralized platforms.
