fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
also why the fuck are people recommending *snapchat* for private dms instead.... you do realize the deletion is purely cosmetic and the platform has full access to everything

In a way, I kinda like you don’t see the fave numbers when randomly scrolling. Feels so much less “who got the most likes” type of popular contest like this.
Letting the art speak for themselves.
I also like how much more easier it is to discover new artist in here simply by looking into the local timeline.
@alexispurslane Unfortunately Google Translate is *incredibly* expensive to integrate, they are super aggressive towards unsanctioned integrations, and Bing (which Twitter used) is only somewhat cheaper AFAIK. LibreTranslate might be a viable option, but the language coverage is pretty limited and I don't think the translation quality is particularly great.

Recurring theme I'm seeing from .art users who have been here for a few days - sometimes just one day - returning to birdsite and just not being able to stomach it, finding themselves more acutely aware of how toxic the environment is after spending a day in our little nook's coziness.

Is there a hashtag for stuff like donating your own grown food to the community? (Seen @tuatarara just posting about this and want to check the relevant communities can find the post :D)
@erincandescent@queer.af @haskal Isn't the problem with shared blocklists mainly their intransparency and lack of receipts, though? Rather than the concept itself.
@welshpixie It *used* to be that it would only keep that setting around until you closed the page. Not sure if that's still the case.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @meave@toot.site Open (to them)
selfie, eye contact (ec)
@riley@toot.site cute :3
@meike Sowieso is die toeslag echt je reinste onzin, en duidelijk puur bedoeld om mensen te dwingen een OV-chipkaart te gebruiken.
Volgens de NS was het "een compensatie voor de kosten van het wegwerp-chipkaartje", maar ik heb dat eens uitgezocht en de kosten daarvan kwamen neer op zo'n 3 cent per stuk, wat *minder* was dan de oude thermische kaartjes zonder toeslag, waar nota bene de bonnetjes nog steeds op geprint werden!
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev That actually seems like a viable option then, if you can pivot from there :p
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev If you're aiming for "somewhere within Schengen", it may be worth just targeting whichever not-dangerous Schengen country that has the easiest immigration/citizenship requirements, and then moving from there after you obtain citizenship.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Oh, *that* crap, ugh. Sorry, I forgot. Foreign employer sponsorship not an option?
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly, with the current "job market", it seems like employers are pretty much ambushing any developer they can find with a job offer. Are you sure that you don't have options without a CS degree? A lot of listings *say* that it's required when it really isn't.
(Aside, it's much worse than "not really a 1:1 match" - from what I've seen there's *almost no* overlap between uni CS and real-world software development)

Looking for a speaker/charity that does intro to LGBTQIA+ talks, focused on trans rights. Got moolah. Does anyone have suggestions?

Advice to new people from Twitter
There have been many waves of exodus from Twitter. When new people arrive they often bring with them their larger-than-life Twitter persona with them. I understand what that's all about, because it's how Twitter trains people to behave if they want to be seen and engage with their audience and so that the timeline algorithm works in their favour.
But here in the fediverse you don't need to put on a big performance. You can be more authentic, and just hang out with friends. Edginess which would be rewarded by the algorithm on Twitter tends to be discouraged here, and might even get you blocked.

#feditips a non-joke one, using image description is very good and almost everyone here does it, if you're new here you should too, accessibility is very important and if you post an image try to make sure that even people who can't see it (at all or well) can tell what you're posting about
