I was reading an article and I only noticed halfway that the latex didn’t render because I was rendering it in my head

Do you prefer the Nintendo S or the Nintendo S Lite?

- That news is not "too important for a content warning".
- AI is not a replacement for good alt text.
- Your personal beef should not be a public event.
- An dozen extra hashtags won't help your visibility.
- The numbers don't matter. No, not even those.
- Nazis won't help grow the network, even if they're popular.
- Being weird is not the same as being bad.
- People are complex. You can't (usually) judge someone's entire moral character from just a screenshots.
- Accusations aren't proof, explanations aren't apologies.
- Popular users aren't above moderation.
- The block button is always justified, and no word is too sanctified for a personal mute. No one is entitled to your attention.
- Free speech doesn't apply on social media.

I wish fedi would stop turning into Twitter.

People always say you should put love into everything you do, but when you're making #gravy you absolutely do not want to put love in, it really ruins the consistency. What you REALLY want to add is anxiety. Now, I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but you really can't go wrong; a tiny bit of anxiety makes the gravy really tremble for those who love a bit of movement in their sauce, a medium dollop of anxiety gives it a nice glossy sheen, and a huge scoopful of anxiety makes your gravy just POP.

Free Geek Twin Cities is an incredible resource.

That is all

so from the looks of it, the bots are scraping trending hashtags like #SilentSunday , #RulesToSqueakBy , #MonochromeMonday etc, all of which are filled with gentle civilians posting pretty photos and thoughtful advice. perhaps the most sporting thing to do in the circumstances would be to drive a little-used hashtag to the top of the chart instead

#gravy

AI grifters have turned their attention to scraping mastodon hashtags to generate seo spam blogposts. you know what to do

feathers!

Wow just had a really nice conversation with someone on the train for like 45 minutes

Good morning everyone. :)

I hope you have a Magnificent Monday.

Always remember, you are loved and your dreams matter.

Today we are gonna be talking about how Hard Disk drives work.

An HDD consists of one or more rigid disk platters, typically made of aluminum or glass. These platters are coated with a magnetic material that allows for data storage. The read/write head, also known as the disk head, is an electromagnet mounted on a movable arm. It can both write data onto the disk by aligning magnetic particles on the platter and read data by detecting the orientation of those particles. The disk platters are spun at high speeds typically between 5,400 and 15,000 revolutions per minute by a spindle motor, allowing for quick data access. Data is stored in concentric circles, called tracks, on the disk platter.

We all know the Rodalies fire moodboard, but how about the exploding VIRM? www.treinreiziger.nl/ns-onderzoekt-ontploffing-elektriciteitskast-in-intercity-niet-bekend-of-er-gevaar-is-voor-andere-treinen/

@morachbeag Yeah, this always bothers me. It always comes from the most from hardcore marxists, but like... Marx was racist. Yeah, class is important to focus on, and I'm for a balanced socialist society, but Marx also said Mexicans were lazy, despite not having actually lived in Mexico to understand why you would take a nap in the middle of the day: the same reason mid-day naps are common in Vietnam, the heat will kill you. He just broadly attached the concept of "lazy" to any people of color he didn't feel like "worked hard enough".

Mexico isn't/wasn't poorer because the people there are "lazy". There's something else, and that something else is important to note: colonization and resource extraction from wealthy white people, mostly from other countries, particularly Europe.

Sorry to tangent. This just really bothers me when people say to "set aside racial differences" and focus on class. Black people were literally not allowed in white unions until relatively recently in history. You can't simply ignore that.
