Tell me you don't understand the fediverse without telling me...

@InternetEh Don't forget the people droning on about "using the correct grammar rules", accessibility be damned...

Many years ago I saw a few images from a Japanese photographer who would walk and photograph the same route daily, if I recall correctly many of them featured a tall red chimney, perhaps from a bath house. This process - repetition, place and memory - are very interesting to me. Would love to revisit that work. Can anyone help me find the photographer again?

@devurandom@cybre.space Sounds good :) Probably a good idea to list Delta Chat after Matrix though, as it seems to not have any forward secrecy (just like PGP which it's apparently built upon, via Autocrypt)

@devurandom@cybre.space Also, +1 for pointing out that DMs on Twitter are also unencrypted :)

@devurandom@cybre.space A couple of suggestions:
- "Jabber" -> XMPP, which is both the official and the common name nowadays, and distinguishes from the jabber.org service
- "Element" -> "Matrix using eg. Element", to distinguish between the protocol and a specific client
- Removing "Telegram" or at least adding a warning - its homegrown E2EE crypto is highly questionable and generally not taken seriously by cryptographers

Can any of you recommend fantasy artwork of arachnids depicted in a positive light? I'm wanting character artwork for a species that are roughly waist-high spiders.

Part of the lore of my game is that, if you can put your prejudices aside, the arachnids and the humans hold a lot of psychology in common, where's the other bipedal races are *quite* psychologically different.

"Overseas airlines are having to cancel hundreds of flights as they grapple with coronavirus-related staffing shortages weeks after they ditched rules requiring passengers and staff to mask up in the air."

Gee if only somebody had predicted that

International Workers' Day.

It's either May 1st, or the first Monday of May.

The eight-hour work-day, the weekend, workers' compensation, living wage laws...

food q 

what confections are there that have a consistency similar to chocolate but don't require imported ingredients? there are so many dessert things where chocolate's thermal properties are just... useful... and its texture is a nice contrast against other things. i want to believe there's a butter-based answer here

code 

@_sharpLimefox

function bloop(u: u8, w: u8) {
let v: u8 = (u * 3) + 1;

if (true) {
let k: u8 = 78;
}

return v;
}

function main() {
let d: u8 = 0;
d = bloop(3, 12);
}

Did I get it right?

ABA does not put the child’s emotional well-being and quality of life first. ABA therapy assumes that children simply won’t do things and need to be incentivized... doesn't consider that autistic kids can’t do what they are asked, or that it is painful. ABA also rewards autistic children to hide their pain and distress, and rewards autistic children for “fitting in” to neurotypical norms. Autistic masking often leads to poor mental health. #banABA #actuallyautistic
