@quine have witnessed multiple conversations where white tech guys were just mystified by the idea that anyone could find naming things "master/slave" offensive
@shoutcacophony i'm not really seeing any more follow requests than normal
There was like 5 seconds on Mastodon when people with anime avatars weren't likely to be trash
I think I'm going to unfollow everyone with anime avatars. Unfollow them all and let God sort them out. No offense, people with anime avatars.
@ink_slinger sometimes the Fallopian tubes can reconnect on their own after a tubal ligation
@bob but I did anyway! :P
@bob permission to steal for Twitter? Will link back to you
@ink_slinger the IUD is more effective than getting your tubes tied!
Colorado had great success promoting LARC (long-acting reversible contraception - implants and IUDs): https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/07/06/science/colorados-push-against-teenage-pregnancies-is-a-startling-success.html
Is anyone doing a #federated #OpenSource alternative to Meetup.com?
It's useful for local events, but very expensive for organisers ($15 a month for a basic events page). People pay purely because others use it, an open alternative would be π
Meetup's "network effect" might be overcome because it isn't a global network (e.g. someone in London is only going to care about meetups in London).
Also, an open alternative would be perfect fit for #federation, each community having its own instance.
@Are0h Sorry to hear that, sent you a bit.
Who uses squarespace for thier website ?
Please retoot
I have more thoughts on this but unwise to share publicly
In the Guardian, a look at working conditions for Deliveroo delivery cyclists in the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/24/deliveroo-couriers-dystopia-union
Sounds slightly worse than Foodora; idk about UberEats/DoorDash/SkipTheDishes.
@wohali (sorry most people assume I'm in the east end bc of my name, but realized I post about Parkdale a lot on here lol)
@wohali oh whoops
hi!!
there's a few other folks on here in Toronto and also a few that come to visit every now and then, maybe should have a meetup
rihanna's single verse on "lemon" was better than drake has cumulatively rapped in his entire career, you can't change my mind
@wohali I'm actually in Parkdale lol, picked NP because it sounds like a name and "Humber Loop" doesn't
tl;dr: fuck Nazis, fuck anyone who doesn't understand why people would ever want to distance themselves from Nazis, and also all the years-old reviews for that model were like "great business machine but maybe overkill for casual use" and I was like "that's fantastic because I'm gonna be using it for like 10 years"
Tangentially, I'm always frustrated by people, especially progressive Americans, who call to "nationalize" platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Like...do you know what "nationalize" means? You know who RUNS the nation, right? And you want them running Facebook?
