Anyway if you think the "danger, Will Robinson" styling of CWs in the new Masto skin is as dismissive as it is infantilising - or it's just not for your site - drop the css in reply into your custom css and be 
wuvoo, kiss kiss

@joepie91 Haha ik weet nog dat ik in de brugklas bij economie deze termen leerde en dat ik toen heel erg in de war was om deze reden. En de docent begreep mijn verwarring niet.

Seems to suggest a disconnect between the dev team and the user community, but what do I know?

It's amusing how, after each Masto update, my feed turns into a chorus of "suck it, website boy!" as admins sort out how to override and undo this version's nasty UX surprises and questionable choices.

fediverse CW field curb cut effect
yes, you can use the CW tool to give content warnings for material that requires content warnings, like news stories about ongoing atrocities or unsolicited suggestions to strangers
...but now that the technology exists, you can also use it for literally any information you want to offer to contextualize the post for those reading it
we love using the CW field to say when we're novice-blogging (talking about something we're not very knowledgeable about), as a kind of tone-indicator thing when we're posting brain nonsense, when we just feel self-conscious about taking up space ... it's handy

Kwam deze tegen in het Duits: https://todon.nl/@anarchiv/113271300327034109
Vertaling: "Ik ben van mening dat men in het Duits de term 'werkgever' zou moeten vermijden, omdat het een ideologisch gekleurde term is die de indruk wekt dat de 'werkgever' zo aardig is om de 'werknemer' (dat heet een arbeider, verdomme) een baan aan te bieden, en daarmee geheel voorbij gaat aan de uitbuiting en dwang die aan het kapitalisme ten grondslag liggen.
Tegenvoorstel: 'arbeidskoper', afkomstig uit het taalgebruik van de Zweedse arbeidersbeweging (Duits: 'Arbeitskäufer', Zweeds: 'arbedsköpare')."
Prima punt eigenlijk, en ook van toepassing op het Nederlands.

Companies that let you do everything from their web site *except* unsubscribe, and then take several days to respond to the unsubscribe request can get in the bin 🚮

today's insignificant pet peeve: companies should quit marketing their organizer solutions as "stackable" when they're only stackable if they don't have stuff in them. that defeats the entire purpose. i want to use my fuckin vertical space

in romulan culture, it is customary for websites to include a false frontend that doesn’t actually work

school, intergenerational bullshit, counter
“Well, i never! What /are/ they teaching the youths in school these days?”
Um, the same things they've always taught in school—the only things they've /ever/ taught in school? Obedience, deference to authority, yielding to social hierarchy, and accepting overwork without complaint?

@joepie91 i hope that at least the "cool" overpriced TLD that the UK leeched off of will die
or that at very least it will be more widely known why it was a problem

o, .io cTLD will go fuck itself

how to focus a dog's digging inclination into snow removal
health, body
It's moments like these that are just so baffling I can only really respond with amusement; I do way too little exercise, and I'm suffering from kidney failure and am a few weeks away from a transplantation; and due to some mysterious property of my body that nobody's been able to figure out yet, I just... accidentally bent a fork. What. 😂
food mention
Okay I know that I have a lot of physical strength, but "accidentally bending a fork while trying to eat a pancake" wasn't *quite* on my bingo card either...
