@mattl I quite liked my time with an earlier edition of Think Python https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-3rd-edition/

And I got jobs writing it

AI-free due to seniority.

@hipsterelectron but also, https://acc.edu.sg/en/impairment-disability-and-handicap-whats-the-difference/ which further distinguishes between disability and handicap, which I hadn't heard before. Makes sense though.

@hipsterelectron welllll I learned it from EbThen on Twitter, which I am hesitant to link to now, but, they're on bsky if you want, and better informed about disability language than me

@tillshadeisgone That's your photo she doctored? Fucked up

@futurebird @keithmorrisnm @glasspusher @TidalFlats I honestly think it's because of whatever deals TEMU cut to show up as a default app in newish smartphones. Makes them feel like "the devil you know" when you don't actually know them. Surely, this must be what I signed up for with this phone, right?

@hipsterelectron it's only a remaster if you use the original assets, everything else is a sparkling port

@davefischer @futurebird If you liked The Disposessed, you might like Malka @older's #Infomocracy, a thought experiment based on recent anarcho-socialist theory: What if we abolished states by letting smallish groups of people living together pick whatever government they wanted?

@lowficarrots for the DRM to work, you have to control the whole hardware stack. And the only way to do that is to make the hardware yourself. So competitive esports must only be played in arcades.

@foone The relation between gender and a floppy disk is between gender and that floppy disk.

@eniko maybe check out @Mojeek

@eniko An "ok, but just for this room, put it back after that" option would not be amiss, I think

@technomancy Neverwinter Nights in particular was sold on the strength of its co op multiplayer, with a game master mode

@annika your license has nothing to do with your governance, and it's the latter that might make a project "public"
