This is just an unlined mockup in cotton, but I have some leftovers of dark green wool from my old girl genius costume and they are already on my cutting table :)

A few days ago I was looking at some scraps of bark from what will become a new distaff and parts of my new backstrap loom. Then I was looking at the white wool on my other new distaff.
And well, this happened:
currently sitting on the balcony, wrapped in black fabric for at least one week, and I'll see what happens.
From what I've read, I suspect that the worst (but quite likely) thing that can happen is some shade of pink.

compared to pretty much all the alternatives, yes. It's the Democracy of OSs - the least worse. There is, of course, plenty of room for improvement and thankfully there's a large, smart group of people with the ability to do so and diverse motivations and intentions (which is the best we can hope for). Similar to functional democracies (as opposed to faux- or dysfunctional democracies).
I feel like bookmarks are good but insufficient. What I really want is something more akin to a personal Wayback Machine.Does anyone know of a tool to do that easily? I could write a web scraping tool easily but I feel like this must already have been done.

Casual reminder, out of nowhere, that no, we are not entering a new decade on January 1, 2021. Decades don't work like that. If we called it "the 202nd decade" it would. But decades start on the 0 year and end on the 9, because we don't count them ordinally..(In the same way, the 1900s and the 20th century are slightly different!)
no. the first decade started on 1 and ended on 10.
The 0s only had nine years, it happens.
Ciao a tutti.
segnalo l'esistenza del neonato gruppo @softwarelibero group ai gruppi dei due LUG che frequento, che immagino possano esserci degli interessati.
Ci sono già delle linee guida su cosa si vuole che venga postato? Immagino solo post in italiano.

TIL the term #historyBounding, for when you take inspiration from historical styles and put them into your everyday clothing.
Which is what I've been doing the last few years, but it's nice to know it has a name/hashtag :) .

My shiny new¹ #solarOven, waiting for the sun to reach it.
Sadly I only have direct sun in the afternoon, so I can't cook lunch with it, but I'm making solar cooked apples for dessert this evening.
It's made of lasercut plywood with aluminium foil on one side, plus acrylic glass to completely close it, and easily disassembles flat. I still need to make a fabric cover (with a mylar layer sandwitched in) for added insulation, to make it perform a bit more like a box oven, while still having the portability advantages of a panel one.
¹ FSVO new: I've had the panels laser cut just before the lockdown, but it took me quite some time to fix some model errors and apply the tinfoil.

I read about that and assumed that it was using the 32 bit microcontroller variant of RISC-V, not the one that runs a full OS etc.
So not very different from the TS-100?
I didn't look into the details, however.
Instead of endlessly composing and deleting toots regarding frightening world events, I want to put out a single toot today.If everything feels like too much, it's okay to step away for a moment and gather yourself and your strength, and help others do the same. I hope that you all are well, and you are able to find a moment (hopefully more!) of respite today.
Dear #rpg playing fediverse,
I haven't played any rpg for more than a decade because of LackOfGroupError, and now I've been vaguely thinking it could be a good time to try to start one campaign via jitsi/videoconferencing.
Any recommendation on a game system we could use? Is Fate the current freely licensed cool things to do? (also, where does one start from for that? core? accelerated? condensed?) or is there anything else I should look into?

Thanks for both answers!
We have a jitsi server (where we do turn the webcam off for regular chat nights), but then I realized that on the same server there is also mumble, we've just not really used it :D
OTOH, I think that the ability to turn the webcam on as needed can be useful.
For dice, it depends on how much the people involved will be fine with going for a storytelling-heavy approach (then we could keep the fun of rolling physical dice with the webcam on and trust each other); if they prefer a more D&D approach we'll probably need an app.
I'll look also into fiasco
"Do or do not. There is no 'try'." attempts to be inspirational, but is hilariously bad advice for many people. "Perfect or worthless" is a stupid dichotomy and its internalization prevents many from living up to their potential. Let people try, fail, and try again, especially in creative pursuits like writing, drawing, and coding.
(I'd recommend reading also the rest of the thread)
Apparently, this is one of the exercises you're supposed to do when learning #watercolour
My current (and first and only :D ) set: a student-grade pre-assembled one that a) suits me just fine, since I'm still at the stage of “first attempts” b) costed about 1 eur less than a similar empty box from the same store, and appears to be practical and of good quality.
(The pink looking thing in the upper right corner is copper, and while it's technically watercolour I've bought it for calligraphy.)

I've been looking for an #origami document folder (two sides with flaps, and the covers have an internal space for more sheets) that I found a few ages ago, but seems to have disappeared from the internet :(
instead, I found this #envelope for #snailMail, which looks extremely cute :)
I wonder how practical it would be for a real letter :)
Happy 10th Birthday Friendica!
Ten years ago the 1st commit to the git repository of Mistpark was made by Mike Macgirvin, a project that since has become Friendica accumulating some 27.000 commits contributing the work of more then 250 people from all around the world.
Mistpark and Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020
Together we have build a social media platform that had many faces over the years. It has grown from a decentralized communication platform into an integral part of the Fediverse and Federation. Allowing its users to interact with their friends and family across the borders of nodes, projects and physical distance outside the world of data-harvesting corporations.Thank you Mike and everybody else who has contributed their time to the project over the years! And while we are preparing the 2020.06 release of Friendica, lets have a big party to celebrate ten years of this wonderful part of the free social web.

Family project for this weekend: a light box.
The box is made of corrugated cardboard, covered in a nice packing paper from the last time I ordered stuff from the internet (and one sheet of white paper for the inside); the “glass” is a leftover from a door. The light part comes from my SO's Secret Stash Of Things That Produce Light.

content warnings aren't just for white people, though. they're for preparing folks for the content they're viewing before they view it. it's informed consent.(note: using second person for the sake of rhetoric, but I'm not specifically talking about you)
assuming that folks want content warnings because they want to shut out all content perpetuates the harmful idea that content warnings are purely for blocking content. they're not.
the reason why I want content warnings is because I want to engage with content without having it shoved into my face. simply telling me to block everyone who posts about it without a content warning is counter to that idea, because you're basically telling people to stop engaging with the information out there.
social media is fueled by outrage, and the idea that people can't stop the firehose of information headed their way. forcing people to leave platforms because they're fed up with you throwing heavy shit in their faces is directly counter to the fact that people are sharing this shit to inform and to show solidarity.
like, vent all you want without CWs to your followers, but if you plan for your post to be shareable, you owe it to your audience to preface it with a very small summary of what you're talking about, to give your audience the ability to engage in context.
you're not going to engage with the folks who don't want to see your content anyway. want to change a racist's mind? your untagged meme won't change that. all you're doing is forcing mentally ill folks to ignore everything about the situation instead of taking in stuff at their own pace.
and, there are loads of black folks who are hit harder by this deluge of content because they have to deal with loads of anti-black shit every day. experience dealing with stuff, and maybe even the numbness that follows, doesn't mean it's okay to shove something in someone's face.
