Plus I could upvote all the "Hello, I am a turtle"-like sentences because hello, that's what keeps me motivated

While far from addressing the underlying problems, a way to up/downvote sentences in Duolingo would be super useful. It's enough to see a sexist/heteronormative/cisnormative/annoying sentence once, let me practice that thing in a different context so I don't have to ragequit.
I eat letters for breakfast so my words don't make sense ^^
No that I had my little morning rant, I will go have my thesis printed and sent away. So I'm still in a pretty good mood (and scared, as usual).
You know, all those people who have to deal with this kind of shit don't need your advice on how to adjust to this hurtful and useless culture.
They do need you to use your mansplaining powers to educate your fellow white guys about how their attitude is creating a really bad atmosphere and is killing creativity and curiosity and is making people feel bad.
Soo, the ratio of people who just listen or contribute their experience, to mansplaining dudes who tell me to "just ignore it" (it = the awful atmosphere in tech-world that is killing curiosity and is keeping not-super-confident people from joining the club) is much better than on the birdsite.
But still... . Just ignore everything and everyone that hurts you? Wow, thank you guys, very helpful advice nobody asked for.

@Jules i love making assholes uncomfortable. i'm an autistic trans woman, so this isnt hard to do.
any time i encounter a thing i dont know i will just boldly declare it and ask for help. usually this works out fine.
but sometimes i get one of those assholes and i say "wow, youre really gonna shit on me for not knowing something? you have the opportunity to see someone understand/discover/see something for the first time and you spend that being an asshole instead?"
it works

A word of warning to anyone upgrading to Mastodon 1.3(.1)!!!
Starting with 1.3(.1) Private posts will federate! But they don't do so securely! Warnings are built in but be aware that if you have followers on GNU Social, Friendica, or postActiv then they will **NOT** know that your post is marked private/followers-only!! And they **will** be able to boost it!! Once they do so, it becomes a public post
This is not opt-in, it just happens post-update
If this worries you, go audit your followers
Gute Nacht Mastodon 🌝

@Jules as someone who is self taught, every day at my job is a nightmare for me because i never know what's "ok" to not know
I really hate this thing where "not knowing stuff" is kind of the worst thing that someone can admit in tech-world. This is why so many people struggle to learn things, are afraid to ask questions,...
All these "everyone knows this!"-guys and their not very funny "jokes" are just so not useful or helpful. Especially in spaces that are MEANT for learning things!
There are some python trainings on https://www.lynda.com/ in case some of you have access (via university, job?). Not free though...
(Now I'm typing 2 #hashtags instead of 1, so much for #pcode is shorter ^^)
I need all the beautiful programming languages to get over these years of Java and C and all the exams. I like C, it's my first language, but!!
Ok wow there are 18 people in the gitlab group now? #pcode #practicecoding

What's the etiquette on #Github projects, do I fork even if I probably won't contribute any changes, or do I just copy/download and then fork later if I happen to find something I think I can fix/add?
All I want to do right now is look at the code for #Tusky and perhaps build my own version. So is forking still the way to go, or just take a copy of the code?
