@futurebird For some grades, it might be best to teach algorithms using physical models. It's one of my favorite examples, that a library index is a hash table. It's just more down-to-Earth than the numeric version.

@evan In general, I would like to see extensibility for profile properties, so that we can present more metadata on our profiles. There may be valid counter-arguments - I haven't researched that thoroughly.

@lzg In a somewhat surreal modern castle. Is that a *wood* handle on a kettle?

@hib_Nachrichten Ich hätte manchmal gerne einen zweiten Feed von euch, bei dem man sich den AfD-Quatsch sparen kann. Aber: vielen Dank für den netten Service.

@whitequark Asking for the fanbase: what do you call the genre of this art?

@evan IDK for sure - but Mastodon invites subject changes because of how replies get presented, because it does not use threaded display, which is also a feature that birdsite „tacked on“ rather shoddily, which is why threads on birdsite aren‘t always „threaded“ right away. I guess it must have been a background task.

Socially, I have dialectic opinions on this one. „It‘s okay sometimes“. Not „rarely“ when doing politics or debate - for example.

@evan "Same scene/community" - picked membership organization.

@ryanhoulihan carbon fiber fingernails

@annika These should only be made for artistic use IMO, and stored in a clearly marked container. Please, please, please - I really would prefer to never be in this situation, of having to judge a fake danger like that.

@georgetakei And bold to say it, and try to face it? We should keep trying... 😄

@kaia Scientology doesn’t seem to care, but that may not reflect legal realities. (if companies are citizens - US law may say yes to that)

@johl Replying out of competition: I have a Palm on my desk, and a toolchain installed.

@evan Fair choice IMO. Bots might make a nice illustration subject - if you have some?

@ryanhoulihan IT and tech folks can be pretty isolated from this type of reality. I keep telling them that we have a socio-economic problem.

@baldur Many programmers aren't serious about programming either. Only an idealist would code well without reaping the benefits - because the industry is being as lazy about quality as possible. It's simply a culture that we established.

@sofia I think that all ideologies turn into nonsense when applied in isolation. Even anarchism has a tendency to seek order - which is why anarcho-communism exists. Granted - "individualism" and "collectivism" are particularly generic, so I suppose that they have to make less sense.

@ajroach42 Lots of cool projects - you really don't have to joke about being prolific. Good luck!

@futurebird Imagine living in a society where everyone is unarmed - except for Nazis who illegally hoard guns, grenades and body bags. This is normal in Europe - and the violence is so far outside moderate people's experience that they do not necessarily grasp its seriousness.

@lzg Serious question - can we sell this as "functional tranquility"? Like - can we or should we make simplicity an ideal? This has been bugging me from an anarchist dialectic perspective.

@antiaall3s Nitter used the API - it's gone.
