Frens, give me your good links for describing the difference between sex and gender, and general educational links on what being trans means <3 (Friend who has a trans son is encountering a lot of hate today, and it's coming from a very ignorant perspective and people largely conflating sex with gender. I want to give her some links to throw at 'em. Thank you!) <3

open hardware and free software, the artist isn't sure about the sprites license but I'm hoping she agrees to CC-SA

Hindering Hands, the WORST soldering tool ever developed
they hold things steady until the moment the iron touches them, then immediately start waving them around and dropping them off the bench. premium versions will even attempt to grab the soldering iron tip.

⚫ /⚪ hanging in there but maybe say a nice thing if you have the energy

⛔ /🚫 /🔴 doin real bad please be nice and give me space if i ask

⚠️ / 🆘 having a crash please be nice and/or assist if you're up for it

aaaa why is python's str.join() BACKWARDS

str.join(seq)
the concatenation of the strings in the sequence seq. The separator between elements is the string providing this method

and it doesn't work on an array of integers...

this is a visualization. Anything white is the same in all 3 frames, then the different tail motions in red, green and blue

my filesize improvements for bundling the animated sprites :D

First output is including PNGs as bytestrings, which comes in at 20234 characters.
Second line is my implementation, which deduplicates the frames, splitting out a base layer, and smaller images with just the changed parts per frame. with run-length-encoding on top it comes in at 5550 characters, 4 times smaller

Personal opinion, after reading:
"Today, I aim to get arrested. It is the only real power climate protesters have " from an XR activist that wrote an article for the guardian.

If you keep spreading that sitting in prision is the most effective one can do to counter the climatecrisis, I will make callouts to activly boycott XR.

You keep crossing that line that many have told you to stop.

And you even still build up a database by calling people to hand over their private data to you, incl. if they want to be arrested or not.

STOP IT!

it's very hard to focus on the screen correctly, because the pixels are so small. There's also the scanlines which only show up on camera.

Here's a still from the egg, where you can sorta see it's spots and sparkles
