@bram Yeah, I very much feel that. And it's not that there *isn't* discourse on here either, but... it's generally about something substantive and specific, rather than endlessly re-litigating fundamental ethics. Something you can actually have a meaningful conversation about.

very reassuring when the payment terminal on the ticket machine shows a random android file browser (and also is not responding)

English speaking chess players: "it's called a Knight not a horse! Calling it horse is not dignified!".
Every other language: "horse".
German: "jumper".

When I was active at the wikipedia there were a group of other writers who would follow me around and mark my articles on women and black people for deletion. They marked my edits CN even when there was a citation. They reworded everything I wrote to minimize the contributions of minorities to history, and hint at theories of racial inferiority. I'd just go to the library and bury them in more citations. It was kind of violent TBH. #threads #wikipedia #moderation
@eloy Huh? There's a vast set of ActivityPub-based functionality that Mastodon doesn't have and likely never will.
@eevee (I love how this is actually *worse* than we had before - now the connector *physically* appears to fit but it just inexplicably won't work 50% of the time)
@eevee Vendors, amirite?

Apparently Namecheap is now selling blockchain-based domains, and unless you hover over the illegibly low-contrast "i" icon there's no indication that you're buying something "not compatible with DNS" throughout the rest of the checkout process.
@eevee I have bad news for you, not all USB-C devices implement the (required!) reversing circuitry to make connectors orientation-agnostic

Hey any paleontology people know what happened to fossilworks.org and where something like it exists, please and thank you?

It blows my mind that America could cut enough from its military budget to single-handedly fix extreme poverty and world hunger, and they'd still have the largest military budget in the world.
@nyanotech PLA, but it is faring *much* worse than even the cheapo Creality PLA I used to have

I live in the deep south and don't have any other #trans people to ask questions to. I know there is no "right way" to be trans but I have so many questions about others' experience. I think I'm gonna ask questions here since I've never seen a more supportive group of people. Please feel free to boost for visibility and feel free to let me know if I'm too much.
lmao, *all* of my eSun-printed filament clips have stopped, well, clipping - they just break apart now if you bend them. Despite having had zero daylight exposure. This filament is *so bad*
@eloy I'd disagree with that; the rationale behind "it's not Mastodon, it's the fediverse" is very different.
It's not about 'credit', but about making it clear that there's a lot of options *beyond* Mastodon, which is important particularly with the questionable governance model behind the Mastodon project itself.

If anyone sees this bus – it's just been stolen in Vienna, and is important infrastructure to a lot of people, including a few times to me myself, but most importantly to @bus_klaus@twitter.com who lives in it.

1. Crows are super smart.
2. Crows can remember faces.
3. Crows have regional dialects.
4. Crows investigate the cause of death of the deceased.
5. Crows make & use tools.
6. Crows hide their food.
7. Crows have the largest brain to body ratio of any bird. Their brain to body ratio is bigger than humans.
8. A group of crows is called 'a murder of crows'.
