If a little voice ever says to you “what if you stopped being artificially polite and just told people on social media what you think, and mirroring their attitude and tone back to them, for a day?” you should drink until the voice goes away.

@TransGal4872 This is the work of Alex Norris, author of Webcomic Name, that has been altered: the last panel was added by someone else, and the name has been cut, which is bad.
Their work is hilarious and original, you should go check their website (webcomicname.com/) and support their GoFundMe page to pay for legal fees to protect their ownership of the webcomic they created: gofundme.com/f/alexnorrislegal

Drought-resistant traditional African grain fonio (related to millet) is making a comeback as both food crop and bespoke beer

Happy 20th anniversary to my wonderful, gorgeous, and brilliant husband @WardQNormal. This was our first, illegal wedding at Greens Restaurant in San Francisco -- once marriages like ours became legal, we tied the knot again at City Hall. Everyone was there: My father was still alive, and Keith's family flew in to celebrate with us. It was a more innocent time, and one I miss. Thanks to everyone who was there, and to my husband for the beautiful and ever more meaningful life we found together.

Do not try to solve the trolley problem—that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: There is no trolley. General Motors bought them all up and had them dumped in the ocean.

hi, I'm Liz and after joining a few months ago, just getting brave enough to post my #introduction

I'm a #Welsh girl living in #NYC. I work in #data (#policy and #privacy). #Dog mom and celebrating #Wrexham's rise to the #efl (although I'm more of a #rugby fan).

When an app asks for permissions, the OS should not only let you answer yes or no. Every category should havev a "yes, but feed the app fake data" option.

Want my contacts for no reason? Have these generated fake ones! Wanna listen to my microphone? Here's random ambiance sounds! Location? I'm on a tiny 5x5m island!

Hell yeah! Put it all in your databases!

Actively sabotaging and punishing services wins over boycotts any day.

Możecie polecić jakieś miejsce nad wodą, gdzie mógłbym się wybrać z psem i w odległości do godziny jazdy samochodem od wawy? Im mniej ludzi tym lepiej :)

#recepty
Nie funkcjonują recpty roczne
Na jednej recepcie lek można przepisać na max 60dni terapii
Można wypisać 3 recepty na 1 lek, jedna po drugiej na max 180 dni terapii.
I ograniczenie wypisywania do 300 preparatów na dzień.
To spowoduje lawinę kompletnie niepotrzebnych wizyt w POZ. I blokady lekarzy wystawiających recepty.
Genialne pomysły MZ.

The Banach-Tarskii paradox is a bizarre mathematical theorem that says it is mathematically possible to decompose a single ball and reassemble the pieces into two exact copies of the original ball. I think of this every time I brush 3 metric tons of cat fur off of one of my cats

So, fun story. In the middle of ActivityPub's standardization, the Social Web Working Group nearly got shut down because we couldn't get the big corporate players to pay attention to us, and the W3C's membership structure required paid membership participation.

We tried *desperately* to get Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc to look at us. They weren't interested. What I heard was that they had written off the idea that decentralized social networks could exist or work by then.

Luckily, management agreed that the SocialWG's work was interesting enough that we should continue. And later having seen what happened when big players entered a standards group... ActivityPub was probably a better spec for being written by people passionate about it instead.

But anyway. That's all to say... it's so *weird* now to be in the present moment, as you can imagine...

Dziś będzie instalowana nowa wersja #Mastodon 4.1.3 zawierająca ważne poprawki security i zmiany. Ponieważ będzie robiona ASAP nie podam godziny ani długości przerwy. Postaramy się jak najkrócej.

Przepraszamy za niedogodności, siła wyższa

I see people here asking us to follow them over to #Threads. I don’t understand that. I’m asking people at Threads to follow me over here, where we’re free from ads and algorithms.

At this point it seems like Georgia is the best bet for a serif body font and Trebuchet for a sans-serif titling/heading font, but I’m not exactly happy with this combination.

Is there anything else I can use that’s (a) not Arial & Times; (b) freely available for Linux; and (c) ubiquitous enough that normal Mac & Windows users will have it installed?

Question for #FOSS friends:

I’m a Linux/LaTeX user, but I often need to create Word documents for things like committee work where I have to collaborate with Microsoft users. I *abhor* Arial and Times, and I don’t have access to MS’s new fonts (Calibri et al.) MS and Mac users won’t have my preferred fonts (the Libertinus family and the like), so I need to use fonts that I can safely assume are on everybody’s computer. 1/2
