CALLING ALL CROCHET GEEKS AND GRANNIES

Do you want to crochet something that ends up in a mathematical art exhibit in Paris* next summer? Join the project at www.grannylifecrochet.com

* We will find out in September if the project makes it into the Paris exhibit

Hello... I've only :mastodon: & 🦋 accounts...

...I left TwiX several years ago & will NEVER return...

...however... I'm trans & neurodivergent...

...I wanted to find local groups & Facebook was my only real option, but they blocked me cos ironically I don't seem human to their computer algorithms...

...so I thought I'd post this hoping trans/enby & nd folk reading this, esp in SE Wales, will reach out please. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈♾️🙂

Did an evening walk in the neighbourhood and found 5 picknick tables not on openstreetmap 🤯

Apparently a Valve employee who works on the amdgpu project is going to implement support for older AMD cards, including analog ports.

In unrelated news, Valve has expressed an interest in making SteamOS run on non-Valve systems.

In unrelated news, Windows 10 is going EOL very soon.

... is Valve planning what I think they're planning?

Type of guy who treats federation like NFTs and tries to cram it into everything.

It's probably a first world problem, but I absolutely hate looking for instructions on how to do something and only finding ones on videos rather than a written version. The reasons:
1. I have to stop listening to music
2. I have to rewatch it several times to understand the instruction, my brain doesn't do auditory data input much
3. It ends up taking much more time than it would have if I was to read one or two sentences, because the video often has an intro, "please like my video", "click to subscribe" and whatnot, and these take twice more time than explaining how to do that one thing I'm looking for. It's infuriating and will definitely not make me like the video and subscribe.
4. Some people just have annoying voices, not their fault, but it happens often.

Having said all that I'm actually grateful that there are instructions for things online and that people care to make them.

@smveerman @joepie91 ja, alles om maar te zorgen dat daklozen niet even tot rust kunnen komen 😑 Dat daarbij ook vermoeide dan wel (chronisch) zieke of beperkte reizigers pech hebben boeit niet 🤷🏻‍♀️

I really need people to stop labeling every "thing that makes me feel different from other people" as "neurotypical" behavior. I saw someone describe a well-documented-as-ADHD trait as "neurotypical" just bc it's a trait they don't have and their own neurodivergence works the opposite way.
I've seen multiple conflicts where neurodivergent ppl try to paint their also-neurodivergent opponents as neurotypical. People are neurodivergent in DIFFERENT ways and some of those clash!

hmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

any friends in NL have an old/spare framework motherboard sitting around?

need one for IO cover dev, and thought I'd check before grabbing one of the €200 RISC-V ones

"This “invisible work” is made visible in the stories of gig workers like Krystal Kauffman, who has been working on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform since 2015. She has witnessed ... the shift from a diverse range of tasks to a near-exclusive focus on “data labeling, data annotation...Human labor is absolutely powering the AI boom...And I think one thing that a lot of people say is, ‘teach AI to think,’ but...it’s not thinking. It’s recognizing patterns.”

People who want to know more about segregated Carnegie libraries should look at the project

"The Roots of Community

Segregated Carnegie Libraries as Spaces for Learning and Community-Making in Pre-Civil Rights America, 1900-65"

one of the many wonderful things IMLS funding has helped bring to fruition.

The least fun part of going to a hacker camp is having to figure out how the hell you're going to get All That Stuff transported to the campsite by train

btw to any[one, thing] with 88by31 badges on their website: I can recommend adding this bit:

.badges > img, .badges > a > img { image-rendering: pixelated; image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges; }

this tells the browser to keep rendering it in a nice crisp way instead of smudging your badges (as in, doing bilinear scaling instead) as soon as it leaves 100%/pixel-perfect zoom :3

(thanks for the CSS bit, lina! :neobot_heart_orange:)
