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.

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

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.

no, but it was the most fun to write.

reshared this

in reply to Foone🏳️‍⚧️

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.

in reply to Foone🏳️‍⚧️

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.

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!

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!

#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

Not much, especially when said maintainer(s) are overworked and demoralized, but still better than nothing.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

@valhalla

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.

TFW you wake up in the morning, try to login on your computer and the h key on your keuboard doesn't work.

disconnect the spare, start having breakfast, post a few things on the fediverse, now the s and the f keys no longer work.

Connect the spare, use it for a while, try the original, it works. And then it stops.

I'm wondering whether I should move elsewhere my keyboard and just resign myself to use the spare today.

quindi attacchi la tastiera di scorta (una da gaming economica, con tasti blu che sono troppo rumorosi per l'uso regolare) ad una porta USB libera, fai login, apri un po' di cose, provi a scrivere di nuovo con la tua tastiera e funziona.

stacchi quella di scorta, inizi a fare colazione, postare sul fediverso, e smettono di funzionare i tasti s e f.

Riattacchi quella di scorta, la usi per un po', riprovi l'originale, funzona. E poi smette di funzionare.

Mi chiedo se sia il caso di staccare l'originale e per oggi rassegnarmi ad usare quella di scorta.

(So cosa causa il problea, nel weekend potrebbe esserci stato un piccolo incidente, ed è già stata ordinata una nuova tastiera che potrebbe essere consegnata oggi o domani, e poi ci sarà tempo per provare a far rifunzionare l'originale.)

Forgotten Yeast Bread - Sourdough Edition


Posted on March 23, 2024

Yesterday I had planned a pan sbagliato for today, but I also had quite a bit of sourdough to deal with, so instead of mixing a bit of of dry yeast at 18:00 and mixing it with some additional flour and water at 21:00, at around maybe 20:00 I substituted:

  • 100 g firm sourdough;
  • 33 g flour;
  • 66 g water.

Then I briefly woke up in the middle of the night and poured the dough on the tray at that time instead of having to wake up before 8:00 in the morning.

Everything else was done as in the original recipe.

The firm sourdough is feeded regularly with the same weight of flour and half the weight of water.

Will. do. again.

It's not even April, and I've brushed and steamed the wool skirt I've worn all winter, and mended the small bit that needed mending, and it's ready to be put away for the warm season.

Last year I think I postponed doing it until June or even July.

I'm counting this as a huge success :)

Ah, ironing board. Having one would probably help me with my garment care. The kitchen table is not ideal.
in reply to Lars Wirzenius

@Lars Wirzenius yeah, it helps, mostly because you can wrap the thing around it, and only have one layer under the iron.

Mine is just a hand-me-down that isn't even 100% stable, but it already makes a difference.

And then there are the taylor's ham and sausage that I made for pressing while sewing, but sometimes they get used also for ironing sleeves and other small or curvy bits: I don't know if they're worth having if somebody does not sew, but they can help.

The fedi isn't like email. The fedi is like if you accidentally triple booked a bdsm convention, a FSF convention, and a communist workers AGM all in the same german arena
