@atom I grew up with Windows XP so I *know* it wasn't like that, and yet it still looks credible to me
covid stuff, re: food, non-vegan
Also, bonus points for not hesitating at all and seating me in an otherwise unused area of the restaurant after I asked to be far away from other people for COVID safety reasons
food, non-vegan
By kidney diet standards, honestly, this was a king's breakfast.
(The custom breakfast that the Efteling/Bosrijk people cooked up for me to stay within my salt/potassium restrictions)

I need my students to understand that to get away with openly committing blatant plagiarism you have to be a billion dollar megacorporation, which they are not

Ik hoor al jaren -over wetgeving als cameratoezicht, fouilleren, sleepwet, etc- "Vertrouw je de regering dan niet?"
Waarop het standaardantwoord altijd is: "De vraag is: vertrouw je de regering die er over tien jaar zit?"
Deze term ga ik overnemen. #OrbánTest #Orbán #ViktorOrbán

fictional robots have often been neurodivergent coded, so it's no wonder that neurodivergent people end up writing 2000 char posts about how they wish to be a robot

Fedi, help me!
Trying to find a Youtube vid, from at least 5 years ago, maybe much older. The concept was that the writer and animator from the channel had swopped places for a vid, so we were seeing what the writer had drawn based on the artist's script. The "story" was just a character going round and seeing a bunch of stuff that was really hard to draw; I don't remember them all, but one I do remember was the character saw 1,000 (1,000,000?) triangles, each with distinct lengths and angles.

Are you blind? Have you heard of the commandline, but don't know what it means or how to use it? I recorded a tutorial that shows how to use a popular commandline utility called YT-DLP to download the audio version of a video with a screenreader, and how you can apply this to other commandline applications. This will accomplish jobs more quickly and bypass inaccessible graphical user interfaces. I hope you find it helpful!

I really do resent the hamster wheel of being an adult for how it hobbled my capacity for creativity

the new ayaneo retro handheld looks like what you'd find in a 2007 future consoles video labeled as "PSP 2"
@lexd0g Whoa, this instantly reminded me of the Dingoo A320.

For my non-Welsh-speaking friends, this is an example of a good translation. We so often see terrible translations on roadsigns, it's nice seeing something like this. Where the English says 'share with care', the Welsh is an idiom that means 'take it easy', rather than a word for word translation of 'share with care'.

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol
I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money
this reply intended for the folks who feel called out by the thread
@sue As someone who also seeks to build things non-commercially to prevent perverse incentives: you can acknowledge this as a problem while still working to prevent those incentives.
It is entirely fine to choose *for yourself, personally* to build things for free. It is not fine to expect this from everyone else as a moral obligation.
If you want to build non-money-driven things, but also be inclusive, you just need to find a strategy where the privileged folks are doing the unpaid work, and others get paid for their work. Lots of ways to fund that, doesn't even have to involve commerce.
Yes, this is extra work, compared to "just doing everything for free". So it's a good thing you personally can afford working on things for free and set aside the time to figure this out, huh?
(Posting this as a reply to hopefully pre-empt other "non-commercial web" folks from trying to pit these goals as conflicting)
