@tillshadeisgone the saddest thing is, the blacksky community will at some point have to leave in search for another place if the reports on VC and crypto bro ownership are remotely true. And the enshittification cycle is a lot shorter these days than the 15y run twatter has had.

On the up side, there's a whole playbook lying ready to facilitate mass migration. In that time we need to work to make this place more hospitable.

Let's test Mastodon magic...

#coffee people I've had to stop my decades long coffee habits because of arrhythmias and I'm looking for a good decaf available in the EU. I don't mind if it's ground coffee are beans, as long as I can put it in my French press / cafetière.

Please boost!

This AI shit in Windows (and everywhere honestly) might be the thing that pushes me over the edge into switching to #Linux.

Gentlepersons please help out a rather digiphobic analogous midlifer:

If I were to switch to the penguin, what would I need to get started?

Part of my bread is editing texts in .docx; main editor won't appreciate different formats and layouts.

I also want to keep using Steam and GOG.

Halp?

@bitterkarella I had to look up Sonia Greene, masterful instalment ♥️

@pluralistic like WHAT THE FUCK am I reading?

"They hid invisible metadata in the PDF of their filing, which tricked the Case Management/Electronic Case Files system into putting their case in front of [the judge]"

"Then, [the judge] resigned from the bench and took a cushy job with the BigLaw corporate crime enablers at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom"

And WHAT PLEASE? "There are a lot of pedophiles who are briefing for the Sacklers"

Came across this #meme about #Kissinger and I HAVE to share it with you

A #literature question

For a revamp of my school's CEFR B1/B2 level English #teaching (lower to upper intermediate) literature component I'm looking for poems, short stories, and novels (for first pages assignments) and, most of all, a modern play!

The focus, and here's the catch, is #diversity. Anything that asks our pupils to see others than the neurotypical cis white hetero male perspective. #queerlit #bipoclit #nntlit, all suggestions would be welcome!

@stux grate mines sink alike

in a group of educational authors I said exactly the same thing yesterday

Other person: 'it contains sexually implicit parts'
Me: 'the parent who filed the complaint should go and see a doctor'

Edit: didn't translate for you as much as for others lol
