@jalefkowit this story is very cute and charming but i do dislike hearing about girls performatively doing nerd things for boys 😔 its not a fun stereotype to deal with, nor is it a fun thing to witness
@soft Oh trust me, I felt terrible about it!
@Gargron I am all for it and doing a lot of camera rolls myself, but I'm afraid that your image here is ruined by destructive encoding
@gael Are you referring to the film grain?
Did you know the Comic Sans font was based on Dave Gibbons' lettering work in the Watchmen?

RE: https://writing.exchange/@writefreely/117588873754559634
In case you missed it, we just put out a new #WriteFreely version with a ton of security patches, including one very critical one -- admins should update ASAP.
Like much of the rest of the wider software world, October was incredibly rough as I faced an onslaught of vulnerability reports. @writefreely is more secure from it, but it's also been overwhelming.
There will be more releases coming soon, but the most serious issues reported so far have been fixed.
I haven't seen any reports of these being exploited yet, but again, admins should update to v0.17.3 as soon as possible!
Just a quiet word - as I boosted a silly joke of someone I'm very fond of earlier, opening them up to a bit of a shitty take. And someone else I'm very fond of posted about blocking people with shitty takes and had a shitty response in return. Let me be clear - I realise I reach a lot of people comparatively on this site - and I am not down with that sort of thing. I do not care about followers or clout. I do care about the people here. If you feel like you have to admonish people in some way, without having any basis of understanding of who they are or their motivations, please take pause enough to either try to understand their story, and consider whether YOUR response might be shitty. Even if you think it might be well-intentioned. And I would be grateful if you don't follow me. I'm not a joke or meme account. I don't post stuff because I want to be widely popular. This is my community and I care very deeply about it. We're all trying to pull in the same direction and you thinking you're a big hero and being shitty to people who actually are, makes you look ignorant and harms this very sacred space for many. X
@ai6yr For Boulder, they like to bundle fire services, rec center maintenance, and increased police funding. There’s something for everyone to like, but there’s probably also something for everyone to be against. They also went A LOT over budget on the last fire station replacement (looks really nice tho).
@bolderbekah I keep forgetting the name of that "no new taxes" measure that seems to have damaged fire departments in Colorado... From the 90's?!?
@soft Magic first came out during my freshman year in college. There was a girl who lived on my dorm floor I used to play it with all the time. She was always up for a game.
We eventually moved to different dorms and lost touch. A couple years later I was talking with someone who knew her, and I told them about how we used to play Magic all the time. "You dummy," they said to me, "she doesn't even like Magic. She was just hoping that if she was around you enough you would eventually figure out that she wanted to sleep with you"

I am pointing to the reality outside of this little bubble that globally we are experiencing a rise of authoritarian rightwing, openly racist and exclusionary political movements.

Later today, the House is expected to hold its first procedural vote for the potential impeachment of Pete Hegseth.
Tell your representative to support articles of impeachment against Hegseth for illegal military operations and violating congressional war powers: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your-members-congress-impeach-hegseth/?source=mastodon
@indivisibleteam unfortunately my congressman is MAGA and adores Hegseth. I was hoping Higgins would lose reelection but he won

I miss the reddit secret Santa :(
I was in it every year till the very end lol
@aparrish so my undergrad had a large biotech program, in which all students have to take essentially multiple CS classes that are administered by their own department. one year a CS prof (whom i love and took my intro classes with) was subbing and teaching one of those courses for a term, and to say that dude was shocked was an understatement. he was scandalized at how good the biotech students were.
going into bioinformatics research has also really humbled me, bc it legitimately was just a CS algorithms class thinly wrapped in applied terms. the killer grad graph algorithms that CS grad students bitch and moan about? it's taught to biotech undergraduate students. in classrooms with 50% women. and they can do it.
@atsuzaki i have taught computer stuff to a wide variety of audiences (artists, scholars, journalists, designers, etc.) and it's true—it's really shocking how directly achievement is correlated with the student not having a preconceived notion that they're probably going to be bad at it

@ai6yr can’t speak for the Arvada one specifically, but there was a statewide measure that will help with wildfire prevention and conservation (prop 137), good idea but due to Colorado’s weird tax rules it could pull money out before other things are funded in lean years.

Yep, but replacing rightauts with leftauths doesn’t accomplish anything - in the end you are under the heel of the boot.

Is an “auth” anyone that supports having a state? Is it not better for the working class to have a state than the capitalist class? These kinds of zingers are common, but they don’t actually say much.
Somewhere nice.

Years ago Reddit had a sister site called Reddit secret Santa where Redditors could sign up to be matched with other Redditors as an online global secret Santa and you could write down your interests, likes/dislikes, hobbies, fav shows, movies, food etc.
It was pretty neat, I ended up with a lot of foreign nic-nacks and snacks because I would sign up for worldwide all the time
