I feel like I, upon discovering Mastodon, found the total, like, 5–6 people I wanted to follow and've just stuck with them for the last 3 years so I don't know how effective asking the greater Fediverse will be but
Does anyone know of any artists on here who either can do ASCII art or, while not the medium they usually inhabit, are willing to give creating it a try? 'Working on an all-text video game and could use someone who's open for commissions, right now.

Thinking about how nurses in the pandemic, teachers in shootings, or people in "caring" professions generally are so often called on to be "heroes"

@aeva@mastodon.social Magic trick: extract smaller pieces from the multi-year research projects as soon as they become independently useful, and just publish those by themselves
@maia "I ain't getting paid enough for this shit, man"
@af @postroutine @Matt5sean3 They certainly do harm people. Many a domain has been lost and many a project has been renamed worse due to domain speculators' practices.

Domain squatter is a bad term.
Real life squatters are taking something held out of use and returning it to use. That's pretty cool.
What we call "domain squatters" are really "domain speculators."
Speculators in real life hold things away from use to try to extract value from people who want to make good use of it. They're bad and should be eliminated.
This is what domain speculators do. They are also bad and should similarly be eliminated.
@naln1 (It's all a bit hard to say even as a queer person in NL, because NL is pretty... behind on the whole gender thing, culturally speaking)
@naln1 Yeah, my impression is that that's the safest bet for now. Hen/hun definitely seems to be more preferred as specified non-binary pronouns, but I've never really encountered anyone either offended *or* confused by my use of 'die' as a default neutral pronoun - even if others don't really use it.
@naln1 It's a shitshow, basically. There's hen/hun that some people use, but that a lot of other people have trouble with (somehow singular use of conventionally plural pronouns doesn't quite 'feel' right in Dutch). There's also 'die', for which there's some arguments: https://langzaldieleven.nl/ -- but it doesn't seem to be very widely adopted among queer folks at least.
Personally, I tend to use 'die' unless otherwise specified, but honestly none of the options are great... (and that's not even going into crap like gendered job description names :/)
