Why yes I do like adding RNG patterns to my Phantoon fight where you spend time not dealing damage and guessing when they open up. yes totally not frustrating,

To be fair, understanding the patterns has increased my enjoyment of the Phantoon fight by like a good chunk, it’s quite exciting lmao

Having posted previously about having additional redundancy in social connections, I’ve taken it a step further by starting to grab copies of media that I like on the internet.

While I’d like to think the sites we use are resilient, too often I find that great artwork, stories, and videos disappear, never to be found again, and that’s kinda sad.

So what am I using for this effort? Right now, mostly right-click and save. For stories/articles, I found that using SingleFile is a great way to preserve a copy of the page (which if the page supports reader view, Firefox will let you use reader view on it!).

As for organising these files, I picked up filetags. It’s not the easiest thing to use but it’s forced me to think of what tags I would actually use, plus it has a pretty neat navigation view by invoking filetags --tagtrees --filebrowser none, so you can filter down just by going into folders.

I wrote a guide to help people in your situation. It's available for free online, with no ads or anything.

It's absolutely doable, but it will require a bit of work. Read on to learn more:

once again pissed off at censoring / sanitising language in subtitles. it's infantilising. I use subtitles all the time because of tinnitus and auditory processing issues, and I'll be damned if I want a bunch of handwringing prudish cunts fucking about with the language. censor ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in accessibility tools. I promise we're grown up enough to handle some swears and sex words, for shit's sake.

The #Zig programming language got a new mascot, her name is Carmen the Allocgator

I’m 100% behind their reasoning to get a third mascot : because it’s funny

I posted about it in January on my previous account, and now it’s official: the .internal TLD is now reserved for LANs internal DNS by ICANN, and they won’t accept applications to register it for the web

https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/08/dot_internal_ratified/

A reminder that using .local is bad practice because it’s used by mDNS/Bonjour who unfortunately appropriated it. It could cause issue with some appliances that rely on mDNS.

Nobody’s stopping you from using anything else, like .lan, but since .internal is now designated for that purpose you really should use it to be more or less guaranteed to avoid problems in the future

As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

i dont know why i thought it would be fake

lrt two gunslingers being pretty cool at the team air pistol event this year

It seems that even those who are not interested in sports and do not follow the Olympic Games have already read about the "50-year-old Turkish man who showed up at the competition in a wrinkled T-shirt, without special equipment, and took the Olympic silver without even taking his hand out of his pocket."

"Surely, Turkey sent some kind of hitman to Paris!" social media marvels.

In the blink of an eye, Yusuf Dikec, a previously unknown figure outside professional circles, a retired gendarmerie officer and professional shooter, became a global internet meme and sensation.

Everything is great! The moral of this story could be: no matter how old you are, keep doing what you love, and your best achievements may still lie ahead, even if you are an athlete over 50!

But another nuance caught my attention.

The fact is, Yusuf Dikec did not win the Olympic silver alone. It was a team event. Shooting alongside him was his colleague Sevval Ilayda Tarhan. In the same T-shirt, in the same pose, and also with minimal equipment.

The only difference is that he is 51, and she is 24. He began professional shooting around the time she was born.

Dikec is an excellent shooter with a plethora of medals from prestigious competitions, but he had never made it to the Olympic podium until his young partner grew up and competed with him on the same team.

If we look at the individual performances of these shooters in the same discipline where they took silver as a team, we will see that Tarhan finished 7th, while Dikec only came in 13th.

Now let's trace how mass consciousness works: we simply do not notice the woman standing next to him. It does not matter who she is, how she is dressed, how she shoots, or how unique her achievement is. We only see the man in the "wrinkled T-shirt," deliberately nonchalant, and create a romantic image of a "hitman." We spread a photograph in which he is shooting alone, and the result of this shooting is 13th place! Yet, we declare that he won "silver."

Why does the logic of mass culture work this way? After all, patriarchy has long ceased to exist, feminism is unnecessary, equality has been achieved, at least in Paris 2024 for sure!

This is how patriarchal myths about great male victories are born before our eyes. These images are entrenched in culture and shape our thinking. Meanwhile, women's contributions and achievements are simply erased from history. It was like this before. Unfortunately, it still happens today.

people explaining how choosing an instance and using cws is complicated

but having to self censor that you have a p*tr3on or that you're open for c0mm*ss*0ns, or the other dozens of unspoken rules to not get 'shadow banned' or get harassed by bots is fine and normal
