@fussballinguist @fuzzyleapfrog Ich finde das Vorhaben gut. In unserem Job liegt die Kritik immer näher und mir persönlich auch „nicht gemeckert ist genug gelobt“ (was falsch ist). Ich würde damit anfangen bzw. mach das auch so, das macht den Einstieg irgendwie einfacher. In einem Review oder kritischen Gespräch würde ich vermutlich nicht mit dem „Shit Sandwich“ arbeiten, weil ich Angst hätte, dass die wichtige Kritik dann untergeht, grade bei den Personen die das eh gern übersehen.

if we wish to represent the world's languages in our programs, a standard representation across operating systems and programming languages is crucial.

thinking about this. i think this is not true. but that's only because "standard representation" implies like bit level granularity. and in fact you can and i can and i do just tap out some SHIFT-JIS in this repo. no standard motherfucker!!!!

ok wait need to write that down this isthe only mistake i've found

@farah

I have my moments. I enjoy rolling around in my self-deprecation, too.

How the fuck do we recover from this all out assault on our environment and values? How are these pricks still not guaranteed to lose the next election and how much more damage can they inflict before the election?

@evan With friends like you lot?!

Modern TUIs claim to be minimalist and efficient. But for screen reader users, they're a nightmare. This breakdown shows why text-mode interfaces break accessibility assumptions and what needs to change.

Don't take it too hard British people; I know you are not your leaders and I'm quite familiar with how the Pig Empire seems to elevate the most ghoulish among you.

In some ways I envy you - your PM just lost an election that wasn't even HIS election and ppl are demanding he resign - that's politics. In my country? You can lose two elections YOU'RE CONTESTING to a literal reality TV show nazi billionaire child rapist whose catchphrase is "you're fired" and keep your job. TWO.

in 2016 I made a comic titled “Mr. Gotcha” that would become most viewed and circulated image I’d create.

Now it is the subject of a book by @glennf examining its history in online discourse. That One Matt Bors comic is live on Kickstarter—back it here:

Captured with a DSLR and a 105mm lens during a brief break in a blizzard.

This snow-encrusted eagle watches over Market Street at the Schuylkill River during a February, 2010 blizzard. The large granite eagle is a New York transplant, part of a set sculpted in 1910 by Adolph Weinman to adorn New York City's Pennsylvania station. After the station was razed in 1963, four of the eagles were moved to the corners of Philadelphia's Market Street Bridge, where they remain today.
