Rammendare e meglio che buttare, l’iniziativa a Saronno contro lo spreco degli indumenti

Ogni anno, nel mese di maggio, il movimento lancia il “Mend It May”: un mese dedicato alla buona pratica del rammendo, un’azione concreta per contrastare le logiche del fast fashion

TFW you partially pull your drying rack out of the wall (it's attached with six screws that go into wall plugs, one of the plugs came out of the wall) in the morning, and then in the evening you see that it has been removed from the wall, *and* the wall has already been repaired so that it can be reattached soon.

Thanks @Diego Roversi !

TFW alla mattina strappi parzialmente dal muro lo stendibiancheria (è attaccato con sei viti/tasselli e uno dei tasselli è uscito dal muro), e alla sera scopri che è stato staccato completamente e il muro è già stato riparato per poterlo riappendere a breve.

Domenica 19 maggio (questa, per capirci) a Trezzo si terrà il concerto Adunata Feudalesimo e Libertà dei #BardoMagno.
Dal momento che è stato hackerato il loro account su YouTube, hanno diramato - sempre su social brutti - l'appello a spargere la voce e seguirli comunque, sostenendoli per quanto possibile.
Nell'attesa che si decidano a usare social decenti, io posto questo toot e vi rimando a quello da cui ho appreso la notizia, con tutti i dettagli livellosegreto.it/@Spazio/1124…

bad kerning, described, no pictures

I've just bought a product from a company with headquarters in Viale Bom, Varese.

I'm quite sure those headquarters are in Viale Borri

Oh, and the address is written between two horizontal lines, and it goes beyond the line.

I guess that the “Design and Quality by <brand name>” doesn't extend to the packaging :D

Ok, tomorrow I'll take and post pictures.

bad kerning, descritto, senza foto

Ho appena comprato un prodotto di un'azienda con sede in Viale Bom a Varese.

Sono abbastanza sicura che quella sede sia in Viale Borri.

Oh, e l'indirizzo è scritto tra due righe orizzontali, e sfora oltre la fine delle righe.

Ne deduco che “Design and Quality by <nome dell'azienda>” non si estenda alla stampa sulla confezione :D

Today I've had a chance to notice that we (western societies) are sending off our textile waste to another continent, where at least some of it gets probably¹ shipped to China to be processed into felt to protect the floor when painting the walls, and then shipped back to us.

Why aren't we doing this anymore in Prato²? It could even be done by Chinese nationals, there, but at least it wouldn't travel halfway around the world and back!

¹ I have no idea whether that's the origin of that textile waste, maybe that felt was using textile waste from China itself, but still.
² an Italian town with a long tradition of textile industry, historically including textile recycling. These days it also has the second biggest community of Chinese nationals in Italy, most of them working in textile workshops, not always up to even Italian standards of workplace conditions.

Ma è difficile fare qualcosa che abbia veramente un effetto, come individui.

For all the thousands of posts I've seen on the Fediverse about "alt text or I won't boost" or that take even harsher stances, and the dozens of posts taking a more encouraging stance... why the hell isn't anyone talking about the Fediverse's content warning problem?

So many instances require content warnings for explicit or violent images... and so many artists just say "NSFW Image."

My dude, my pal, my bro... I'm not clicking that. Is it art? Is it real person porn? Is it gay or het? Is it a naked body or is it anal sex? Is it bdsm? Vore? Monsterfucking?

IDK. It's "NSFW Image."

It's like playing Russian roulette.

Content Warnings aren't content warnings if they don't tell me what the content is.

Do me a favor.

Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.

I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.

It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.

You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.

Make learning a positive experience? Please?

It is *evident* that the fact that the living room table is covered in bits of cardboard and bookbinding paper means that I'm cleaning up my desktop, right?

As in “making a small chest of drawers to store some of the samplers and small containers of ink that I currently have in a mess on the desktop” :D

The current status is that 3 out of 4 drawers are done, one is nearly done, and the structure to put them in needs to be redone from scratch, because my measurements have been way too optimistic and the drawers don't fit :(

But I've started to put some of the ink samplers in one of the drawers, and those are fitting just fine. Also, *all¹* the colours!

Unsure if I've ever shared my personal philosophy here, but it goes: "People are going to look, so give them something to fucking look at!"

I developed it when I was younger and visibly goth and queer, possibly even more so than now. People stared but I was always without a doubt the most interesting looking person on that bit of street, so I couldn't fault them for it! And anybody who had issues with it could see just how little I cared to hide.

@0xdariaj I don't feel like messing with taking it off and putting it back on, so I just always have one on when I'm somewhere. The easiest place to properly put it on is at home and sitting down! Usually my excursions are not that long anyway (I get tired) so it's not an issue to wear the same mask.

It's just nice to dress nice, too! It's not exactly armour, but it's better for morale to face small difficulties if you also look great. 😆

cause like, yeah, it's good to know how to write optimal code and how to make it elegant and easy to maintain, sure!

but one thing you have to maintain is your brain. If you're constantly driving your programming brain at maximum speed, maximum awareness of all possible caveats and vulnerabilities, always considering "how will I maintain this code in ten years time?" you're going to burn yourself out.

You're associating programming with a high-stress high-attention activity. That's going to make programming something that's categorized in your brain as no fun, never relaxing, never something you do just cause it would be interesting... you're going to start dreading it, even just a little. "oh well, let's get this over with."

That's not a good way to think about it in the long run.

If you're happy with Conversations, continue using it! Snikket is more limited because it focuses on a specific use case.

If you want an easy-to-use messaging solution for a group of people (e.g. family, friends, clubs), plus companion apps and easy onboarding without forcing people to learn what a "XEP" is, then Snikket is here for you: snikket.org/start/

We just want XMPP to reach beyond the tech crowd.

kickstarter for a (famous) webcomic

Girl Genius has a new kickstarter out, to print the next volume

kickstarter.com/projects/girlg…

for those few who don't know, it's a great steampunkish #comic that has been running for years and is published online at girlgeniusonline.com/ and then on paper, funded via kickstarter one volume at a time.

And usually there would be no need to promote them or anything, they have enough devoted followers that they fund on first day, but this time they have a pretty high stretch goal to be able to print *two* volumes at the same time, and it would be really, really nice if they did manage it!

kickstarter per un webcomic (famoso) in inglese

È aperto il nuovo kickstarter di Girl Genius, per stampare il prossimo volume

per quei pochi che non lo conoscono, è un #fumetto steampunk che va avanti da anni, pubblicato online su girlgeniusonline.com/ e poi su carta, un volume per volta finanziato su kickstarter.

Di solito non ci sarebbe il minimo bisogno di fargli pubblicità: hanno abbastanza lettori fedeli da riuscire a finanziare la stampa il primo giorno, ma stavolta hanno aggiunto uno stretch goal per riuscire a stampare *due* volumi allo stesso giro, e non sarebbe per niente male se ce la facessero!

I've found out what the issue with the #tea shop was: they had to restore the website from backups and some user got stuck in the process.

I've now procured more tea (by preparing a list on the website, printing it out and going to the shop. yes, it's close enough that I could just go there without visiting the website. I could.)

Getting to the laundry place 5 minutes before it closed on Saturday morning to give them 4 heavy-ish carpets to wash (while they were still on the car rather than having to walk there while carrying them later). done.

(we called when we got on the car, to ask whether it was ok, and the owner of the place knows us well enough that there wasn't any time consuming procedure, we just dumped everything in there and then she will deal with them when she opens next week. but still, it felt wrong.)

#sewing update

The cording on the petticoat has been completed, I'm now doing the vertical seams (hopefully today), and then I have to gather or pleat or something the top and it's done.

I'm cutting a second attempt at the pyra case: I've cut almost everything, but I've just misplaced one of the fabrics I want to use. The inventory says it's in the box I've been looking for it.

I've printed almost all of the hexbin Standard Compliant pattern weights, I've cut enough felt for all of them (I think, I didn't exactly *count*), and I've been using the first one and it works nicely. It's a good excuse to buy new washers the next time I'm at the shop, right?

Related: if you have recommendations for places in Europe that print small amounts of hexagonal #stickers and don't require me to provide a multi layer PDF file (or a tutorial on how to make those with inkscape or other Free Software) I'd be happy to hear about them :)

And thanks to a couple of movie nights¹ at my mother's I'm close to the 3 meters of lucet cord I plan to use for the back of my Augusta Stays. That I still need to cut lining for, why do you ask?

¹ 17:30 - 19:30 or so counts as night, if you're watching a movie, right? :D

@debacle @valhalla I think it's almost always a good idea to define each acronym the first time it is used, in any kind of document.

In this case, bits.debian.org/2024/04/bits-f… is a fairly long text with "DPL" mentioned more than 20 times. Writing it out the first time would not take much space, and would help make the text a little bit more welcoming to newcomers.

If #xz were a Go or Rust dependency, you wouldn’t have a single copy of xz library on your system, but many, #xzbackdoor hidden in every executable that uses it. Distros would have to rebuild all packages using that lib (not just the lib itself), which could take days or weeks, and users would have to update them all, downloading tens or hundreds of megabytes.

Yes, that is an important point too.

When we say co-maintainer, we often implicitly assume that it should be an equally or comparably skilled person doing the same tasks.

And then we stop at a thought on how hard it is to find a duplicate.

While it doesn't have to be.

There is plenty of room for a developer to collaborate with a tester, or a packager or a build engineer, or a documentation writer.

It often can be healthier too.

Which means working with technical materials.

Which means that two needles have already been broken, and I've just decided to sew the raw edge binding by hand, even if I know it will be painful, because I don't want to deal with another fiddly seam by machine.

My heart goes out to xz. A single maintainer, who was clearly in a rough place with mental health, screaming out to the world for some help and additional contributions, and somebody shows up wanting to help. Could you imagine how happy that maintainer was? They were no longer alone.

And it turns out the only reason somebody wanted to help them was nefarious. I can’t imagine how they feel right now as everyone is blaming them. I hope they’re ok.
