@aeva A lot of this seems to boil down to an unspoken belief that programmers are intelligent and everybody else is dumb, and therefore a programmer must be in the optimal situation to determine what is and isn't too hard for "normies", and the idea that different people just find *different* things easy or hard (in ways that they don't see) never comes into the picture at all.

One of the things I have always loved about the culture of QueerMasto/TransFedi (or whatever we’re calling the cool part of the internet these days), is that we actually *enjoy* people posting their selfies.
We recognize the importance of people finding joy in their own beauty and sharing that with the rest of us.
I hope that shit never dies.

mijn meest virale draadje ooit in de haatvoliere, niet omdat ik vind dat deze basic dingen zoveel aandacht waard zijn maar omdat @Kuun ernaar vroeg:
hey, laten we even voorop stellen dat ik iedereen een fatsoenlijk verwarmd huis gun. maar dat gaat niet voor iedereen haalbaar zijn deze winter.
daarom een paar tips van iemand die jarenlang in kraakpanden zonder (centrale) verwarming woonde.
tip één: kleding. laagjes. ik kleedde me destijds zo dat ik in principe gewoon naar buiten kon lopen, met hooguit een windbreaker of regenjas.
belangrijk daarin: thermo ondergoed. all day everyday. thermo legging én thermo shirt met lange mouwen.
ook meerdere hoodies over elkaar. of een dikke (wollen) trui over een sweater.
sjaal, col, dat werk, ook top.
zorg ook dat het flexibel is. laagje aan, laagje uit.
tip twee: zones in je huis. in veel panden woonden we met groepen, en hadden we één ruimte waar een houtkachel stond. daar konden we het verwarmen, verder gewoon niet.
in je slaapkamer hóéft het ook niet warm. of je washok ofzo. je huiskamer/leefkeuken verwarmen is genoeg.

Reminder to please CW anything to do with politics and particularly “look at the awful things these right-wingers are doing”. Being able to choose when and how to engage is important and makes a big difference to the overall mood of the timeline.
And please don’t boost politics posts with no CWs either - I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently from new arrivals

So here's what I've learned.
Mastodon isn't Twitter.
And that's by design.
You've grown used to things designed to give you that anger rush.
Mastodon is very deliberately built to avoid that.
The temptation is to replicate your Twitter experience.
Picking arguments, amplifying trolls.
Please don't.
This isn't your house, people here put time into building it.
Content warnings, ALT tags.
Don't turn it into a replica of the mess you just left.
If you miss the fights, the birdsite is still there.

ugh website boy’s fucking app
I’m not sure what vibe I want a post-report screen to have but “vindictive” is Not It
(It was legitimately a test though!)
Easiest way to get DoSed on the fediverse: ask people to ignore your toot 
Test please ignore
@cadey What. I mean, I've solved it for now by using the remote GTK interface, but, what.
And of course Transmission has no way to restart a deleted torrent without re-adding the torrent, which you cannot actually do in the web interface because it won't let you copy the magnet link, and there's no "force start over" option
I hate software sometimes
??? if the target filesystem for a move is full, SickGear just deletes the source files???
@pingiun Heh. It wasn't always that way: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/177

Anyway, this mini-rant brought to you by me frustratedly manually renumbering video files to the S00 format and getting the exact episode numbers wrong at least twice, because apparently it's not even a contiguous sequence
@pingiun I prefer telling people "it does matter what instance you use, but not right away - just pick the first one you see, and move it later if you want, it's easy to move"
The TVDB *almost* gets it right, categorizing specials by type: https://thetvdb.com/series/doctor-who-2005/seasons/official/0 -- but they then still number everything as S00, even the specials that are clearly an important part of a season narrative!
Like, some of the specials belong to seasons, some of the specials *are* seasons, some of the specials are "behind the scenes" stuff and so don't fit into the main episode flow, and some specials are wholly stand-alone. You can't just glob all of those together into a huge S00 Specials category!
