How come we call them fursuit makers when we could be calling them tailers send toot

@schratze my dad has a mug with a full graph of how to do what in vim printed on it. Unfortunately, and probably intentionally, the mug is too small for the size of the graph, so in downsizing the writing is pixelated and very hard to read

have you ever considered multi-colour STN-Displays? They look fantastic and make for great macro shots!

If I’m not fully mistaken this is a so called CCSTN display that doesn’t use a filter to colour the pixels, but rather an optical effect called birefringence. This display does not dim when a different voltages are applied across its pixels, but change colour! So cool and such weird tones :3

Depending on the camera and light angles used, the colours and contrast fully change

This just in: mild protests and a couple of fires don't have the destructive capacity to level Los Angeles

And yet a very significant amount of project maintainers and even community managers genuinely believe this

"Technical projects shouldn't have non-technical chatrooms because that'll just create drama" is such an incredible failure to understand where community conflict comes from

Pl@ntNet far outperforms iNaturalist anyway both in identification success and in being generally usable and nice (e.g. doesn't pressure you to log in unless you want to submit stuff, doesn't do shady AI, publishes papers on their machine learning models and makes the API available, etc.).

one of the few remaning apps on my phone that I enjoy using. I only open iNaturalist when i want to identify something which is not a plant, but 95% of the time I'm looking at plants so

I think we need a name for the category of technology that seeks to remove people from their roles in organizations or society, such as (but not limited to) GenAI things that are meant to replace people's jobs; how about 'displacement tech'?

twitter trauma 

i think some people on fedi just haven't realised the fact that they haven't healed from twitter. i openly admit that fact. in fact, i will do so now. i still have trauma relating to twitter that makes me feel physically sick every time i encounter it. i also still have the thing where i have to reply to people who are blatantly wrong (i'm getting better at it though). at least i understand it and try to deal with it healthily, whereas some people use fedi as a direct replacement to twitter minus fascists. they still use quotes to make fun of people, and still misinterpret people's arguments on purpose so they can ratio them because they hold interaction count higher than genuine interaction which is what the whole point of me talking to people on this is

In de wandelgangen rond om Amelisweerd of op de bospaden er doorheen wordt weer gesproken over een nieuwe klimtraining. Deze zal georganiseerd worden klimmers van een klimgroep en wat meer autonome klimmers.

De datum is nog niet bekend, maar het zal na het broedseisoen zijn. De natuur moet ook zijn rust hebben.

If someone posts about nothing but requesting money on here, be suspicious.

If someone you've never interacted with before mentions you directly to ask for money, you're being scammed.

@thief Definitely this.

Mutual aid works best when we're actually in intentional relationship with each other.

That's very much against the grain of the way most online spaces are set up, but still very much doable.

health bs, ableism, disordered eating 

I've known for a while that I have some yet to be determined fatigue issue. it's not quite ME/CFS or long COVID (it's been ongoing since before the pandemic) but I have experienced PEM after after particularly exhausting things. at one point I tried a food service job for a day and it basically put me out of commission for a month

like, I've been trying to not fall prey to the internal ableism of it just being my fault- eating vegetarian and not getting the right nutrients, or not eating enough, but recently this has been unequivocally false because after eating more my body is literally unable to, saying nah, I've got enough energy, despite still being tired

I still strongly believe that if we actually, genuinely cared and put the resources into figuring out this entire class of fatigue issues, particularly post-viral fatigue, we'd get it figured out in a year tops. but we don't care and aren't doing that in a show of clear eugenics

I wouldn't be able to survive on disability anyway and it'd actually make my situation far worse, but it's especially frustrating knowing that I'd just be further blamed for my problems: obviously, I should just push through PEM (doesn't work) or I should be better to get a tech job that doesn't require physical work

world is shit, y'all

subtoot, foss 

Love it when people start demanding 'professionalism' from me in the context of a volunteer FOSS project.

Buddy, I do not work for you

reposting here because someone sent this to me and i realised how much i needed it actually

Kortom, de wolf is in alle opzichten beter voor een gezonde en diverse natuur.

@schratze good design. Big enough to click on even for mouse challenged people.

Doesn't hide or disappear just when you're about to click it.

Has better contrast than many contemporary designs.

Has dedicated up down buttons for fine control.

Man... we really lost a lot. And for what? For some guy's idea of "thin dark grey on darker grey scroll bars look cooooool - especially when they auto hide after 0.1 sec" (good luck remembering there was a scroll bar that you could actually use...)
