@solr4ctg @ana Talvez seja porque as pessoas pensam em Libras em termos de uma "tradução do português em gestos", e não como um língua por si só. Uma vez que você entende que Libras é uma língua, você consegue expandir esse entendimento para "muitos países diferentes têm línguas diferentes, logo...". A mesma coisa se aplica a sotaques, gírias, etc.

É uma perspectiva que pega no que é convencionado como "normal" (i.e. "língua falada é o normal, e é o que deve ser usado como base para tudo").

We’ve started the demolition process and — as one would expect —, that’s brought us some “gifts”. There’s a water leak in our bathroom coming from our neighbors’ bathroom on the upper floor, and another one we don’t know (yet) where it’s coming from in one of the walls of my spouse’s office. Oh, and our balcony drain is clogged.

My spouse was showing me tile options and I swear 40% of them looked like the same design. For a moment I thought he was pranking me or something. (They had really subtle design variations.)

We visited our apartment yesterday. Upon closer inspection, we found another wall we need to demolish because it was poorly built — thank goodness that ISN’T a load-bearing wall.

We suspect it was built before the first owner bought the apartment (29 years ago). Our team was staring at that wall the whole time, saying it wasn’t sparking joy. We agree — they used very little material and you could see the bathroom through the gaps they left behind.

I was panicking about floor tile prices, but now that we have more precise data on the areas we need to install them... It doesn't seem that bad? Or I completely lost the plot at this point.

On the other hand, the team working on our electrical project is awesome and extremely focused on protecting all the very sensitive equipment we keep in our offices. Sure, the next owner will probably be like, “Why the fuck is everything that way?”. But if we’re basically rebuilding the apartment from scratch, it has to serve us and our needs. “Resell value” be damned.

I wish we were like Japan and just had a bunch of catalogues of cookie-cutter rooms to choose from — we just spent 6 hours (!) discussing every little detail about our furniture.

You know your worksona is bleeding into your personal life when you tell your spouse to write user stories to help electricians understand why he wants light and presence sensors in specific rooms. 🥲

living my gothic dreams.

love colorful outfits, but there's something so comforting in wearing black head to toe.

I read trigger warnings in advance so I knew what was coming in terms of content, but nothing prepared me for how sad it would be.

One thing I love to do after a stressful event in my life is to cut my hair. I picture some of my grief leaving my mind and my heart as my hair hits the floor. I take a shower and wash it all off. Down the drain it goes — part of my sadness, part of my fear.

#AskFedi: Looking for examples of websites that have a quick exit feature due to the sensitivity of content.
I know I've seen this on resources for domestic abuse or queer youth, but I can't recall any specific examples at the moment.
Do you know of one? Would appreciate your help!

guys I'm not trying to harsh anyone's vibes but a lot of people tried the whole "downloading every bit of climate data we could find from a .gov website" this time 8 years ago and most of those projects didn't actually work out very well. For example, the original DataRescue project basically petered out https://www.datarefuge.org/ and EDGI had to narrow its scope https://envirodatagov.org/edgis-data-program-examines-the-role-of-environmental-data-governance-through-the-lenses-of-power-justice-and-equity/

FUTO apps aren't open source but rather source available with heavy restrictions on usage:

They're taking the place of real open source apps and making it less likely for viable options to emerge since people are going to use and contribute to these.

It can be a very competent camera when _it works_ — it's what I've been using to document the life of a cat colony in my city. But I've lost the opportunity to take so many amazing pictures due to the issues I've described.

I have an old digicam — a Samsung WB150F —, but it wasn't in the greatest shape ever when it was given to me. Now I'm having so many issues with its autofocus, and the zoom lens mechanism fails to open or close from time to time.

Thinking about paperbeatsscissors' vibe for the week project — this one, to be more exact, that I'm finding particularly relevant for this week: "I can imagine a different future". https://www.instagram.com/paperbeatsscissors/p/CSpFFwjld5I/

Point-and-shoot cameras died because phones replaced them, and now I either have to spend too much money on a decent somewhat compact camera (because it was made with "creators" in mind) or buy overpriced old digital cameras (because grumpy millennials like me and gen Z made their prices skyrocket, apparently).

I miss the era of compact point-and-shoot cameras.
