@globcoco They are indeed.

The GayCats account on Twitter is a great source for Cat imagery. Assorted, random, collated from the Web.

For those wondering what the alternatives to command-and-control are, perhaps look beyond military analogies and turn to something like #sociocracy and consent-based decision making:

Some people believe that respect should be shown within a hierarchy.

However, if you do not believe in hierarchies, if you believe in servant leadership instead, then respect is earned through actions and words, rather than position on an org chart.

@hansw @Sphinx The British have some of the prettiest spoken English all around. (Some of their regional variations are not that friendly, and outright hard to understand in some cases).

I love their ways, not only the spoken word, but the creative and unexpected turns of phrase -- so refreshing compared to the less creative US speech and writing.

I just watched a YouTube video about a Briton teaching English online, she apologized for the Accent discrimination of her videos before.
I feel like Accent discrimination perhaps is a little too much. I believe there is different English pronunciation type. And there is a correct way to say each word.
I remember used to saw a quote was like this: never laugh at someone who cannot speak English very well. Because that means they can speak another language very fluently .

Eyyy, so to introduce myself.

I'm a minimalist and I like keeping simple things simple.

Been doing web dev for over ten years and I try to avoid dependencies whenever possible. Vanilla CSS with some JavaScript that's lean is better than any framework.

Code itself is technical debt. Less code is less debt.

Hobbies include laying on my couch thinking I should be more productive, writing long winded essays, staring at my always growing pile of books, and trying to find fellow humans online.

For my first post today, I want to send a bouquet to Nolan, the developer of the Pinafore web app for Mastodon and Pleroma. Thanks for creating such a brilliant freedom-respecting UX!

#Pinafore # Mastodon #Pleroma #UX

I love @pinafore. It has a simple and uncluttered UI, it is *absurdly* fast, and yet it retains all the main features of Mastodon. Also, the golden standard for webapps: it does not break the back button in the browser. What a beautiful piece of software you created here, @nolan, thank you!

@globcoco @freemo Ok just looked him up

If we can get someone like that on board, here, it may really boost us, I suspect a lot of people would prefer the way the fediverse works, given that Totnes tried to block a Costa Coffee from opening, in support of all the small independent shops.

@globcoco @freemo Sounds good, what we should be promoting, and there is a link between a healthy body and healthy mind - essential for study

Just added links to the 2x 24 hr courses for Maths with OpenLearn.

@globcoco @freemo On the other end for adults here, we can do 'recreational' courses. southdevon.ac.uk/?s=recreation

I am partly doing the Astronomy Orion course as a recreational course. so a different world, so we are already listing courses for the more 'academic' or 'adventurous'
