I'm watching A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and they just used a very dramatic version of this Eye Bar in one particular scene.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
After some research I found a few names used for this in the industry. It is called an "Eye bar", a "Shatner light" or, "Kirk light". Apparently It...

OMG, I finally get to announce that we get to hire @tsyesika to work on @spritelyproject with me full time thanks to a generous grant from NLNet and @NGIZero! spritelyproject.org/news/inter

Nobody is more excited than I am! Jessica is one of the most talented programmers I've ever had the pleasure to work with and ActivityPub wouldn't have happened without her hard work. So excited to get to work together every day again!

@worldsendless they dont come with mastodon, well not all of them. You import them one by one in the admin interface. You can do this either by uploading a png and giving it an id, or you can see a list of all the emoji "seen" from other servers and just click a button to bring it to this server.. again one by one.

@stux Anything other than just responding with "no" would have been kinder really.

@stux While its obvious to me what they were referring to here (fediverse is decentralized) that response seems awfully rude.

The messed up thing is that in almost all states a therapist cant even see you anonymously. They **must** get your contact info... this has been a deal breaker for me. I wont see a therapist if i know things are tied to me and on record somewhere even if I have nothing to hide.

@Citrine @Raccoondude

@worldsendless Thats not a "character" in the unicode sense, that is an emoji. You can see all emoji by pressing the emoji icon in the text editor ont he web app.

@Citrine I guess the hotline has caller ID and you didnt block your number (not that you should have to, there is an assumption of trust)

@Citrine That is very sad and maddening to hear. so sorry. No excuse for that.

How did they know where you lived?

@freemo The Trevor project's text line told the police that I had been sexually abused, even though I made it clear that it was not ongoing. A detective came to my house and outed me to my mom, before they pressured me into going ot the station and talking for hours about my abuse in detail, which stuck with me for years.

Don't trust these people with anything even remotely sensitive.

@icedquinn

Yea the "flags" are usually specific symbols for specific orientations or genders. But I often find even when its not cartoons and of LGBT characters always have unnatural colored hair which itself seems to be a strong idication in both cartoons and real life that a person probably isnt CIS-het

@Raccoondude

@Raccoondude Yes for sure, and im glad they cater to LGBT and dont doubt they are a huge portion of the people that need the service.

I am just worried a non-LGBT person might see it and think it implies its a LGBT specific hotline and therefore pass it up.

@Raccoondude LOL yea apparently all lgbt people must be depicted in cartoons with colorful hair ::shrug::

I kinda dont like they made it LGBT specific, I was it was more general so people didnt think it was LGBT only.. but eh, they are trying.

If you need a crisis hotline but talking on the phone is a barrier for you for any reason the trevor project is a great alternative. It is a hotline you can do via text message.

If you need help please reach out to them. My DM is always open to and anyone having a hard time needing someone to talk to is always welcome to reach out to me.

@Dawnz Do that to fox, CNN, and MSNBC all at once and you might just change the world indeed.

Man on my vacation i had so many problems on the mountain with my damn antenna and just didnt bring enough tools with me to hack it. Now that I am back home I can do some testing and figure out what went wrong at least.

It was very strange. I was using an end-loaded antenna and according to my Nano VNA the only thing that effected the resonance was the coil. Adjusting the antenna length on any frequency had no effect, the resonance wouldnt shift by even a single KHz.

Now just to be clear i made a major mistake and didnt bring the calibration connections for my NanoVNA. SoI could have just been getting bad readings, I'll find out soon. But either way I spent all day on a mountain top and only got one brief contact (mostly out of luck) and they were trolls I think, either that or they legit couldnt hear me

@twotwenty Awesome, always love hearing that. I must admit there arent many instances that arent radicalized to the point they wont ban like crazy if you dont exist in their part of the political or social spectrum. Even some of the good instances I respect tend to be a bit too heavy handed in some way, either with banning their own members, or blocking servers.

@freemo Ya dude its kick ass. I like the atmosphere of this node.. looked around for a mastodon node that really enshrined my personal values or I was going to host my own... This node is exactly what I was looking for.
