I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
@aparrish if I try to not over sell it or under sell it and just try not to sell it at all, people project these things on to me anyway, which is isolating and unfair
@aeva yeah. it's really hard with students to find a way of talking about programming without inviting in all of these recursive cultural frames

Now when I hear a coworker talking about Chinese models
Oof, worried about some FOSS drama, but worried that maybe I shouldn't reply lest it fan some flames that I would hope can resolve well, and maybe me saying something *would* fan the flames :\
What I typed and deleted:
> Troubled by this Gnome CoC thing, I have thoughts but also things I say on the fediverse sometimes cause ripple effects, so I am being careful about replying. The current situation doesn't look very good, but it looks like it's still playing out and CoC enforcement is exhausting work that sometimes involves a lot behind the scenes, so I hope things end up in a better place
>
> But with a thread starting with effectively "woke people are ruining Gnome" and ending with three trans people who objected to that framing getting temporary suspensions, it just doesn't look good. It seems like the CoC committee is also still looking at things, so I hope that's not the end of it, but worrying for now.

@algernon oops i meant the gpl one but this ones interesting too
@tudbut The former name's ("A former GPL zealot") backstory is on my blog.
The current one is that I'll be hacking on Nam-Shub of Enki tomorrow (hopefully), and, well... read more about the origins of that here.

And now for something completely different – two separate individuals of the distinctive Silver Y moth (Autographa gamma; 🇩🇪 Gammeule) feeding.
One of them found its way into the house last night & really didn't want to be caught & banished back into the dark, cold night. Sorry 😬

In this episode Travis has a transporter accident though could have prevented all of this if they had scanned the planet first

Thanks! Right now calls are between Normals accounts only. There's no standard for calls in ActivityPub yet, it covers posts, follows and replies, not real-time audio or video, at least not yet. So there's nothing we could federate a call over yet :(, and as far as I know Mastodon, Lemmy and the rest don't have calls either.
Federated calling does exist on other networks (Matrix, and XMPP with Jingle), but not in the ActivityPub Fediverse. If a standard shows up, we'd love to look at it, as long as calls stay e2e encrypted.
You could format a message with xmpp connection data, so both parties could “dial” and talk, if the client is aware of the format. A bit contrived, but workable.
NEW: As more parents reject a long-standard shot for babies, hospitals are seeing cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding — once considered virtually eliminated.
Doctors don’t always recognize or know how to treat the life-threatening condition.

Pharmaceuticals are big business. So of course, they will target you with propaganda/advertisements that push their products.
Oh man. Don't get me started on spanking.
every time a character has exited a scene so far by walking off-screen it's been to the right and every single time the door the character said they were going to walk through was on the left
I think if I lived in a world with a bunch of fantasy creatures living interesting lives I'd pretty much be happy with any job
like being a janitor in literally any video game I've played in the past year with no prior experience would be better than any job I'm able to get in real life
@moira so the start switch if it has one (might be a permaanent capacitor motor) will have hysteresis, so you might be able to start fast and then slow down?
@PatrickHerd I will find out! I haven't started it yet, I wanted to take it apart and clean it (and make sure of no unfortunate surprises) before plugging it in at all.
(I mean Buy Nothing people have all been really well-intentioned and I'm sure it's fine but I do check things out first ^_^ )
So I opened a fresh chat with no history, pasted the whole page, and asked it to read it like a stranger would. It found five lines promising things that existed nowhere, and one that sent me to a page that never mentioned it. It's handing your house rules to a new babysitter and watching where she squints.
What I ask a fresh chat now:
Quote every line that contradicts another line.
Quote every line that refers to something you can't find in what I gave you.
Tell me which lines you'd follow differently than I probably meant.
Then I fix the page, not the chat. Every line stayed in, and the page came out shorter.
Watch where she squints.
