We need to add nethack to activity pub so results can be federated here too.

@abloo I do that sometimes, it easier when talking about football (as in US football) and Soccer.

Especially given that the internet is multinational, so Soccer is Soccer in Canada too IIRC

In high school I annoyed the fuck out of my English teacher by switching between British and American spelling and punctuation

Humanitarian organisations around the world are collecting more and more data - are they putting people at risk?

@amerika @thor

You have a good point there, I usually see far right as say Hitler and the Nazi party for example.

Equality is a joke, we don't have that even in the UK, but I guess it depends on how we define equality.

@zleap @thor

democracy, diversity, and the entitlements state are failing

people no longer trust equality and mob rule

trump isn't even really far right; he's like reagan, a moderate right-winger

it's just that the world has gotten so far-left over the past thirty years that we can't tell the difference any longer

@thor @amerika I know n some countries the far right is gaining ground, I am not full up on the geopolitical situation so not sure why, must be more than say immigration. European history is pretty complex.

@amerika @thor Europe is a huge mix of cultures and countries who all mix together.

@thor @amerika

I am not an expert here, but I have been told that your online ID can affect things,

Mine online ID is still zleap (which I made up) but my blog uses my actual name.

Unless you are applying for jobs out side of scandinavia or perhaps Germany people will probably be fine.

@thor I think if you perhaps explain on your blog that your fedi (other) id is different,

I would suggest we get some feedback from others on here as you raise a really good point.

@thor hmm it should not.

This is the issue people are judgemental based on age, race, gender etc. Should not happen and people should not need to change to be accepted.

it is others who need to change the attitude.

You have already suggested you are from Norway, so that explains name being Thor, which IIRC is the Norse god of war.

Maybe we can sort of paraphrase Martin Luther king, judge me by the quality of my writing.

@thor Not sure, if you apply for a job you use a real name, so that employer needs to make sure that the paper you wrote was written by you, hiding behind a pen name may cause some issues.

when you write stuff, you have to publish under a full name typically.

i’m wondering if i should use a pen name or not.

So perhaps what is needed is a coating on the bottle that makes the ketchup molecules less attractive, so they repelled, so in theory won't stick.

Such coaching can't be absorbed in to the ketchup either or affect it chemically otherwise those chemicals could end up inside us as people.

Could make an interesting high school research project :D

Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month, which means we're hosting a Hack & Craft tomorrow* from 8-10pm EDT: fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-cra

Let's talk about user freedom and make things together!

*This is officially Sunday Nov 7 from 0:00-2:00 UTC

If you'll be at #SeaGL2021 and want to check out the Hack and Craft tomorrow evening, this will be at 5pm PDT, after @doctorow@quitter.no 's keynote. Feel free to hop in and out if you're attending other Saturday night conference sessions!

@Edent isn't hydrophobic just for water, where as ketchup is a mix of chemicals and has a different viscosity, But yes, that would be a good idea,

Maybe using a bottle is wrong, perhaps we need a different mechanism.
