btw the way i found this out was seeing their avatar in my follows and going "huh that looks familiar did i used to have a mutual with that avatar on twitter?"
and the penny didn't drop that it was art from my own dang game until i clicked into their profile and saw the banner XD
Is there a specific name for the "This is not a place of honor" text? I know that it's from "Expert Judgement on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant" where it's buried in one of the appendices but surely it has its own name, right?
Any tips welcome, please boost, thank you!
I used to have a part time job working in a gift shop. The back room where the merchandise was kept was a mess, everything in disarray and you could find things only if you knew where they were. It made sense to my boss but to literally no one else. Then one time he went away on vacation for a week and left me in charge. You guessed it: I reorganized the back room. Now everyone could find where everything was, not just my boss!
Not sure why I thought of that just now.
hot take, FOSS
The creation of Github has been terrible for FOSS.
Not because the situation before Github was so good (it wasn't), but because Github didn't actually solve any of those problems but it made it *look* like it did, and at the same time socially 'locked in' a toxic contribution and interaction model.
Opinie Caring Farmers: 'Van de VVD, BBB en PVV mogen we niet aan de gehaktbal van de Nederlander komen, dat vinden ze betutteling. Dat tegelijkertijd die gehaktbal met miljoenen euro’s aan vleesreclame door de strot wordt geduwd, is vrije economie'. https://www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikelen/betuttel-wat-je-wil-behouden
NLpol, very silly joke, lewd-adj
@smveerman @lis the name goes back to when it was illegal for them to exist and they needed a cover story, by keeping the name they’re keeping that era in memory
The biggest lie you were ever told is that the world needs CEOs or presidents or whatnot. That some privileged clueless asshat – and it’s usually a guy – needs to make the “hard decisions” that the everyday people who keep things running and actually know shit are apparently incapable of making because they might just make them in ways that benefit their communities and humanity at large instead of playing some psychopathic and self-destructive zero sum game with all our futures. Fuck ‘em. Fuck the lot of ‘em. Oh, you’re a “leader” are you? Fuck you. The world doesn’t need you or your toxic bullshit. You’re worse than useless.
A website I work on has information about books. We are not selling them directly and we're not a library.
If I want to use structured data, I have resorted to using the Article and WebPage schema.org data types for each book, because according to Google's own docs, you can't have a website with *things* on them unless you're selling something.
And for an authoritative information source about books including ISBNs, authors, publishers etc, that's not amazing.
@elilla on top of that; being good at nothing and/or doing nothing is morally superior to a lot of people doing things in a very skilled manner (geologists at oil companies, engineers at weapons manufacturers, etc.)
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
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
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.
