Looking at the results this morning the EU elections are definitely in "it could have been much worse" territory. While France continues its constant inexplicable flirtation with people called Le Pen and AfD somehow caught enough zeitgeist in the eastern parts of Germany to turn in an undeniably alarming performance, elsewhere.. it was less so. The biggest story is how badly the Greens lost. Even with their gains, the ID group plus ECR and AfD/Fidesz (both NI) are still smaller than the largest group (the EPP). On the left, Left plus S&D are nearly as large as the EPP and have only lost one seat between them. And both Fidesz in Hungary and PiS in Poland took a spanking, albeit in the former case this being "got less than half the vote". The fascists have not "won" this election. Not by a country mile. Don't listen to the constant "Far right takeover of Europe!!!11!!ELEVEN!!" stuff -- it just isn't true. Not only that, non-fascists are getting better at fighting the fascists electorally. There is room for optimism.

Dear #sindarin speaking fediverse

I don't speak Sindarin, but I found myself with an urgent need to know how one would say something like “Say meow and enter”, and some googling¹ and reading of web pages lead me to think it could be something like “Pedo muio a minno”, would it be correct?

Or maybe something like “Say, cat, and enter” would be better, and that, if I'm not mistaken, would be “Pedo muig a minno”?

If I understand correctly they are both neosindarin words, which makes me question Tolkien's priorities, but isn't necessarily an issue for my needs.

Did I get something horribly wrong? Would something else be better?

Thanks!

¹ on searx :D

Hey there. My Sindarin knowledge is quite crusty by now but I'll throw in my two cents anyway.

I haven't been able to find a word for "meow" and I doubt it exists. The Sindarin for "cat" is indeed "muig", apparently. So "Pedo muig a minno" would seem correct.

However, in Sindarin there is the topic of lenition (softening) of consonants (see here: elvish.org/gwaith/sindarin_pho…) under certain circumstances. There doesn't seem to be a precise consensus on when this happens, though. A good article on this particular subject is this: fa-kuan.muc.de/SINDARIN.RXML (see section about the inscription on the doors of Moria) which seems plausible to me. It explains how "mellon" should actually have been lenited (to "vellon") but wasn't because it was, in fact, the password and needed to be spoken in its original form. This apparently threw Gandalf off track at first because he, of course, knew Sindarin perfectly well, as did the creators of the inscription.

Long story short: depending on the context you wish to use this in, "Pedo muig a minno" would be correct but if you wish to adhere to lenition rules it would become "Pedo vuig a minno".

I hope this is of help to you.

le impendenti consultazioni elettorali di varia natura

Ora.

Può essere che io sia carica a cannone già prima delle sette di mattina.

Cioè, "può".

"È".

Non fraintendetemi, non voglio far polemiche (che a quest'ora sono carica a pallettoni ma anche piuttosto stanchina fisicamente eh) ma non è che la cosa degli hashtagz e del CW lo potrebbimo applicare anche alle impendenti consultazioni elettorali europee, per favore?

I went to the bathroom to retrieve the palette knife I had washed previously, the window was open, noticed the colour of the sky, decided to check whether some of the laundry was already dry and bring it inside.

By the time I had gone from the bathroom to the balcony via the kitchen it was just starting to rain (but everything was dry, so I hurriedly brought everything inside.

Then I run one flight of stairs to my mother, to help her retrieve *her* laundry, and by the time I reached her and we were half-way through her laundry it had started to *pour*

(most of her laundry was saved by the awning)

Sono andata in bagno a riprendere una spatola che avevo lavato, c'era la finestra aperta, ho notato il colore del cielo, deciso di controllare se c'era della biancheria già asciutta e iniziare a ritirare.

Ora che ho fatto il giro bagno -> cucina -> balcone stava iniziando a piovere (tutta la biancheria era asciutta, l'ho ritirata in fretta e furia).

Poi ho corso un piano di scale per andare ad aiutare mia madre a ritirare la *sua* biancheria, e ora che l'ho raggiunta ed eravamo a metà lavoro si è messo a *diluviare*.

Yesterday I believe we met one of these

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_wh…

it was quite long, shiny, black and quite beautiful, and I told @Diego Roversi “I believe that's a “scurzun””

Then I opened the Italian page on wikipedia, specifically the section it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierophi… and found that, because of a ~20 km difference, it was a “ratera” instead. And both places are supposed to be speaking the same language! :D

Filed under: #IMGoingToRegretThis

Up to know, everything I've ever painted¹ was on a format between A6 and B8. The acrylic paint I have is in 20 ml tubes, other than 120 ml of titanium white that is lasting me forever.

Then during the weekend I had an overambitious idea that I don't even mention, because it will end in nothing, and I decided I wanted to do at least a couple things on a slightly bigger format, before committing to anything else.

Of course, I also never bought any mounted canvas: I paint mostly on watercolour (postcard) paper, as that sturdy enough for such small formats, and I have a couple pieces of canvas mounted on cardboard, also in A6, that I haven't used yet.

And it was the weekend, and a weekend when I was too busy to visit a shop, but I had a couple one-hour slots and I was feeling the Urge.

So I took the biggest pad of watercolour paper I have (A3-ish, spiral bound at the top, not even glued on the sides) and started to paint with acrylic on it.

foto venuta male di un pannello delle partenze in stazione a Varese, non si vede niente di quello che c'era scritto

ma vi assicuro che lì sopra c'erano *tutti* i treni in orario (erano all'incirca le 14:15 o giù di lì, orario studenti, ma treni non particolarmente pieni)

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.

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.

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.

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!

a boxy drawer made of cardboard, with 16 slots for ink vials of which 15 are used, with the lids stained in a variety of 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.

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!
