Oh and please: if you feel the need to explain your views on disability from an abled perspective to me - just don't. I'm not interested.
As usual... if someone specifically requests words like that for themselves you do that. It's their choice.
But most disabled people prefer identity-first language like "disabled person". No euphemisms.
There are some who prefer person-first language like "person with a disabilty", although it's mostly parents who prefer that.
Just make sure you at least talk about disabled people how they want to be talked about.
Better: talk to us and let us do the talking about us.
They come running to tell you not to call yourself "disabled" because that is disrepectful. And they don't even see their hurtful, disgusting ignorance by doing that.
Just ... please educate yourself and don't follow their disgusting lead in how to disrespect your own child and other people in general.

"Differently abled" makes me want to puke, there is so much bad stuff behind those two words.
Just say "disabled" it is not a bad word okay. DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED.
It's okay to say that.
I'm sick of abled parents and other asshats defining how to refer to us or even how WE speak about ourselves.

Hello! https://inventaire.io is a #libre social network to do the inventory of yours books, and share them with your friends and communities! It is developed by @maxlath and @jums and with the help of many contributors! Since last week, our authors pages link to #mastodon! (ex: https://inventaire.io/entity/wd:Q24939418 ) #Libre projects should support each others, right? :)

An article on Sopranica, "an open source, DIY cell network that allows smartphone owners to make calls, send texts and eventually browse the internet with total anonymity." https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/595zg5/sopranica-jmp-wom-cell-network-diy-anonymous
Look at what can go wrong when bringing metal things too close to the MRI machine ^^
You need to have a look at the last entry, it's a video of people trying to remove a chair from the MRI machine. It is a really strong magnet o.o

Yay, after #Pleroma I now also have #Mastodon running on my #RaspberryPi 3 \o/
The Mastodon docs are really good, only a few minor hitches.
I increased swap to 256MB but apart from that the Pi 3 seems to have sufficient resources, at least to handle a single-user instance.

If a story is ostensibly #steampunk but about the rich folks, does that make it steam-establishment?

Does anybody solve #adventofcode in #Delphi / #ObjectPascal?
Would be very interested in the solutions!

I once saw someone say that pixel art was the first truly masculine art form and to this day I carry my great grandmothers cross stitch sampler around with me so that in case I ever meet that person I can throw it at them

How many #InfoSec #SysAdmin #DevOps and other techie people have dedicated servers running and not being used most of the time to their full potential? I know I do.
Surely there is a way to have them connect and create a libre cloud - think of it as SETI@Home or Folding@Home, but for running services (say, docker containers or VMs).
That could create infrastructure for people who cannot afford their own servers, but would like to play with stuff.

PSA for people who #code:
Looking stuff up does NOT make you bad at coding.
"Not having to look up stuff" is NOT the benchmark for a good coder, especially as coders have to look up stuff ALL THE TIME!
And I don't mean highly advanced stuff, but stuff like "How does division work again?" or "What's that function called?" or my personal favorite "How to I nest for loops in list comprehensions?".
It's ok if you have to look up stuff!

Friendos: what’s a good brand of binder with a low-ish neckline? I love my high-neckline gc2b ones, but want one I can wear with tank tops and dresses too, ‘cuz Gender Is Complicated

Ooooh #adventofcode looks fun, and the first puzzle is totally doable even for me? I'm trying this I think!!
@distelfliege oh jetzt fängt wieder die Zeit an wo ich euch um die schönen Faserpäckchen beneide. Dabei kann ich ja eh kaum noch spinnen mit meinen Händen.
Wünsche natürlich trotzdem viel Freude mit den kleinen Schätzen :)

Is anyone on here experienced with #Braille? I have a question I need to ask about a handmade gift that I'm commissioning soon for the person I'd usually ask about these things. Preferably looking for someone who uses Braille regularly. Please boost.
