interesting #perl crowdfunding project I just came across: programming the raspberry pi with perl, from Timm Murray and Steve Bertrand-- have a look!

I tremble to ask, a bit, but I've gone down a js rabbit hole for the past few days in trying to pull a visualization together (give me python-- even perl!-- any day)

is there anyone here I can bug with some #d3js questions?

mine are, I'm sure, totally basic questions, but a lot of the resources I've found are unhelpful or out of date

all of the interviews and footage behind Jason Scott's (here as @textfiles) phenomenal BBS: The Documentary are going online!

it's one of my favorite things ever, and you should watch it if you haven't (getting to see several cult of the dead cow folks I used to read was particularly fun)

but if it catches your fancy and you have the time, volunteers are needed to add metadata to the interview archive

wait, stop the presses:

I just realized that being out in a cabin with little to no cell service and/or internet access is a great excuse to rediscover my love of radio

anyone else messing around with #radio in 2017/2018 in North America? any suggestions of things to do? (SWLing and/or DXing?) tips?

typical masto experience:

I duck my head in, and people are discussing Death Grips and nin’s The Fragile, giving away free holiday music, and sharing advice about getting through the holidays

I totally 💚 you all

the whole thing is v much worth reading:

the problem of naming sexual violence is a profound one, and we're running up against a huge amount of cultural inertia

even rape, which seems like a natural category, was blurred for a long time with other kinds of injury to a woman who was under the legal control of a man (abduction, seduction, elopement)

You know, I've always been sad that the original of that song is so underwhelming if you're coming from the Coltrane version
