Today's projects: filling the other raised bed with (mixed) soil, bolting a rack to the wall in the garage, as well as a ledge to hang my long clamps on, and finally the biggest project of the day: putting my table saw on wheels!
(And accidentally generating a sorting challenge, oops)
This video is really cool, about reusing old cardboard boxes to build furniture and construction materials out of, biodegradably waterproof and all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45JhacvmXV8
And it pairs really well with this video, about using 3D-printed molds and paper waste to create strong, new shaped objects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ItPfhx3ulw
(Do consider the comment which advises to let the paper/cardboard soak rather than blending/shredding, to retain the longer fibers and therefore strength)
This could be considered a form of #woodworking, I guess?
@joepie91
Yup.
We can have a Fediverse full of joyously naked queer people -or- a Fediverse full of Meta misinformation and slop and harassment, and it's up to us to choose which.
Crowd out the corpos and be unmonetizable.
They called it "Violates Community Guidelines" of course, but we all know what that really means
@revk @neil Evidence strongly implies that quotas work. If you set a minimum diversity quota, on any given axis, it doesn’t just improve your quality (because e.g. women who stay in male-dominated industries tend to be way better than their male counterparts, on average), it also makes people under-represented in the audience more likely to stick around.
So yes, Neil is right to do what he’s trying to do.

In a month it's #Nonbinary Awareness Week, & I'd like to spread awareness with an Itchio Nonbinary Book Bundle. So...

I'll DM you a google form with more info, which you'll need to fill in to apply to enter the bundle.
The Nonbinary Books Bundle will be live on Itchio from July 14th- 20th.
Nieuwe #Staking bij NS aangekondigd voor dinsdag 17 juni in de regio's Noordwest en Oost. Geen treinverkeer in Noord-Holland, Deventer-Enschede, Deventer-Nijmegen en Ede-Wageningen - Duitse grens. Dit zal ook gevolgen hebben voor de internationale langsstandstreinen, vooral dat van/naar Duitsland.
New #Strike announced at NS for Tuesday 17 June in the regions North-West and East. No train traffic in Noord-Holland, and in the Eastern part of the country, around Deventer, Enschede Arnhem, Nijmegen. As Amsterdam is also hit, this will have consequences for the international long distance trains from/to Germany.
In case you're wondering, here's how such a tungsten probe looks like after you repeatedly ram it into a sample as you're confidently figuring things out.
Hot take: part of why people believe that online discussions are always awful, is that our online communication tools lock us into specific kinds of interaction because of their technical capabilities, and we simply can't modify them to meet the needs of our social structures - and this is a problem of software design, not of "online discussions"
now the useful thing about that x11 nazi fork is that it will gather all people you absolutely do not want to work with, all in one place.

the cast of characters widely represented in the github issues so far includes, but is not limited to:
literal german neonazis (lead of the project enrico weigelt),
wayland-is-a-conspiracy nuts,
systemd-is-a-conspiracy weirdos,
various racist and white supremacist gobshites who feel slighted when they're not allowed the n-word with the hard r,
transphobes,
homophobes,
misogynists,
russian programmers who might be any of the above, but are also very vocally unhappy about western sanctions (the unmentioned part is the reason: russian invasion of ukraine)
a question about picking an adult instance
does anybody know any nsfw kink and furry positive instances that don't have shitty politics pls????
Fedi, I need some help,
I'm looking for an LGBTQ+ (particularly NB) friendly personal trainer in London (I'm around the docklands and work in centre if that makes a difference) who can do face to face.
I say that as VR doesn't work for me, and "just joining a gym" is ... Terrifying.
My prior experience with gyms has been... Negative and was over a decade ago.
Classes and such terrify the fuck out of me, especially as a n00b
I found some who look great but would take an hour+ to get to/from.
A lot of gym chains say they are friendly but until you interact etc you never really know.
Any help appreciated!
@joepie91 This is exactly why I get outright snippy at anyone who tells me that I could be rich if I sold my knitting and crochet. Writing for a living made me hate writing. Also with fiber arts you're competing with Walmart and Amazon selling literal slave labor. I've written a couple of patterns and those I might sell. But production line BS is not healthy for me and I find it insulting when people demand Michelin star food produced at McDonald's speed.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
