Scala major version binary-incompatibility across three commonly used versions, my beloved 😍 :scala:

I think it is so cool that Italy is a JoJo's reference. They made a whole nation-state to reference the famous shonen-manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

I did some big refactoring of #WaterwayMapOrg code, and now it uses the `name` to connect up river basins! Here's the Nile, in one piece!
(if you look at WWM.org now, you'll see the Nile split in 2 in Lake Nasser)

A map of the Nile is relatively common, but this map is created 100% automatically from #OpenStreetMap data, and can be created for any river in the world.

From a Mailing List:

As some of you may already know, System76 is working on their new Linux graphical interface, the COSMIC desktop. They have created a form with some questions related to accessibility. If anyone is interested in participating in the survey, please access the address below:

docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI
End quote.

Blind folks, please do use the survey. I am sure other groups of disabled users will find this in news releases or whatever, but from what happened like last year I think, when quite a few people with other disabilities came out and blasted those of us who say that Linux needs work in accessibility, I feel like we need to push for a good bit more representation on these types of surveys. It's not that I don't want other disabled groups to pitch in, but I feel like we've been underrepresented long enough in this space, and as Windows continues in its entropy, I think it's about time we raise our voices for a great, maintained, accessible Linux environment!

Lmao I’m going to limit my time here again to continue to heal from my extraction, I don’t need this bullshit

Y’all white queers need to get your people, lmao

Donations have been very damn quiet and I do need to get groceries for when I finally fully heal and bills to pay :) blackqueer.life/@moo/113147328

Nazism on English Wikipedia 

Wikipedia articles about SS officers which are entirely filled out by their propagandized biographies shouldn't be 'featured' and yet it has already happened at least twice this year on English wikipedia.

But that’s an aspect of the fedi that remains glaringly anti-Black.

Despite the mountains of evidence that shows Black folks specifically being run out of this space, the brave souls that remain here are expected to be unendingly polite and respectful of people and communities that have never given that same consideration.

For some magical reason, Black folks are expected to bear up under the hate, harassment and abuse and give bigots opportunity after opportunity to attack our spaces unprovoked.

That expectation is not applied to any other community or space in the fedi. A bigot can harass someone for weeks and simply apologize for having a bad day and it’s accepted.

Meanwhile, Black folks are demonized for standing their ground against hate and not allowing it to go unchecked.

You don’t get a gold star for defending harassers. There is no righteousness in allowing hateful people to continue abuse people for no reason.

If your alleged progressiveness includes giving people space to continue harm, then you’re just an accomplice for hate masquerading as something you are not.

Queer people styling themselves as punk turned out to care more about the pronouns of serial racist harassers and antisemites.It is a shame. I almost thought I'd met white queers online who could be normal about shit.

I swear to G-d even if fucking David Duke had non-default pronouns these people would be advocating for his ass. Willingness to overlook everything in the name of a single 'cause' ain't intersectional y'all...

Do they not have tech.lgbt blocked already? Do they just not care with wave after wave of reports?

I think some people just want a channer-lite culture on here and not much else. Just enough backbone to block alt-fedi, but anything disguising itself as a 'inclusive queer space' that just happens to be all white and harboring antisemites and racists anyways is seen as just fine. If you complain about it, you get a shot in the back from the BLM in bio 'queer punks'. All the words of support shown to be hollow over the course of 24 hours or less. No wonder black fedi is so fucking jaded. You did your 80th callout post against some dipshit deserving of no respect slightly wrong! Get defederated! Fucking hell...

The means-testing of intersectionality is fucking REAL. 🤮

New Yorkers have been protesting the police shooting by hopping the turnstyles at subway stations and chanting "fuck the NYPD".

I intend to press criminal charges and file a civil lawsuit against the assailant and accomplices, which will require significant funding for legal fees. I am also fundraising to help cover the costs of lost work during recovery, hiring additional help with my child, and the extensive time that will go into this battle. All of your support will help me continue my vital work as a local activist, and ensure that a violent act of modern-day racism does not go unanswered.

We serve incarcerated readers in 35 US states. We don't send books to people in Wisconsin, because people there have long been served by Wisconsin Books to Prisoners (WBTP).

Unfortunately, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections has banned WBTP from sending books to people in their custody. With ironic timing, they announced this just a few weeks before Prison Banned Books Week!

Who would you kiss sloppy-style at ground zero?

Remember "Oxygen Bars"? My household does. We searched it up, and they are re-emerging in the suburbs in the Chicago area. These things used to be in malls everywhere before the respiratory virus pandemic hit. It seems the subrubanites really need that kick of sharing the respiratory equipment during a contagion to start their day.

The new thing seems to be sharing an IV instead of a cannula. I bet the het white suburbanites are still gonna talk shit about gays and addicts " sharing needles" though 🙄
