I feel corporations have really given everyone unrealistic expectations on humanity itself. You must constantly be productive! Your server must have 100% uptime!

Ik vind het lovenswaardig dat het vervangingsteam in België eindelijk zo consequent is dat letterlijk alle stationsborden op een station worden vervangen (voorheen werd er vrijwel altijd eentje vergeten), maar het levert wel… interessante knutselwerkjes op 🫣

Remember when lots of journalists tried Mastodon but then found it too complicated, so they left? I think about that every time I read their 'analysis' of something

so i was reading about the history of the korean language and how it interacts with korean history, and why promoting accessible education is important to create an equal, egalitarian society. a thread. (1/?)

i'm not sure how to achieve this, but it seems desirable to embed awareness of and skepticism of such things into human culture, else we just keep repeating the same mistakes of seeing (colonial) exploitation as innovation

So I caught the recruiting tram again and made more photos for all you dorks 😄

(This is a tram that runs in Budapest that has clear paneling so you can see the inner workings. They use it to recruit engineers and mechanics for public transport.)

Some people feel uncomfortable witnessing others’ anger about injustice.

It is those who do not feel anger about injustice that should make us feel uncomfortable.

Update:

PSA: if you are using MS Word and paste images in it, they may be sent to an MS server to generate Alt Text. Big privacy concern ...

I just had a strange experience. I created an image/drawing myself. When I pasted the result into a MS Word document (on a Mac) an automated "Alt text" appeared that (correctly) described what was in the figure. Why did this happen? What is integrated in MS Word that does this?

Who wants one?

Fansubs are nearly always more fun to watch than official subs because they love the media they’re working on and have a free hand with their subtitle design.

I love how they got into the silly spirit while doing this #SuperSentai trivia episode.

Mastodon tip for noobs and others - if you're reading a long thread on the web view, and the toots are behind Content Warnings you don't have to tap Show More on every toot. Open the thread up and look for an eye button at the top of the column. It will have a line through it. Tap that to open all the CWs in the thread.

I can't say if this feature is in any of the various apps people may be using, but it's certainly worth looking for.
