Ok, back to work now. I already found all the files I need to include. Now I need to clean up my comments and file structure and theeeeen I might actually finish the thesis-monster tonight!

Because they are everywhere. Lurking in the shadows and just waiting for you to walk by.

That's why I usually don't do "oh let's do some nice tech/coding project" with random strangers on the internet.

And they actually think people are interested in reading their babble...

Why is it that these annoying tech-super-dude-trolls hijack every discussion where people actually try to learn stuff?

Just remember. Block aggressively 💜

Seems like fairy-me is online again

computerfairi.es is on a new server now so hopefully this account will work, because I want to do computerfairy-work from this one.

Soooo, now I'm trying to find out what this thing can do for me.

I should just go to work and master the chaos that is my code so I can be done with this thesis monster. But... you know.

Check it out, math geeks: mathtod.online is an instance that renders LaTeX math :)

(the source code for the instance wasn't available, so we pinged the instance admin and he put the repo online. Remember, admins! Mastodon is AGPL, so your customizations *must* be available and linked from your site -- there's a "source code" link at the bottom of the page)

Ok! I added more stuff to the thesis monster and it is good. Now there will be no more new stuff. Just correcting and formatting the next few days.

This is good my friends! I will soon have a life again.

I will now make one last addition to my thesis (need to write some additional code first).

Then I only need to make some corrections, clean up the formatting (yay LaTeX) aaaaaand then!!!
Friday it will be printed and sent ont its way.

2 weeks later I need to present it to some teachers via videoconference. So there will be slides to do and anxiety to deal with.

But this is almost over and I survived!

OK this is scary and exciting.

The date for presenting my thesis is set O.O

I should go to work I guess... but!! First I need to breathe.

Still, as of now, individual users are responsible for making this service accessible to them, because the default is one that is hard or impossible to read for many people, and there is no built-in way to change these things. There is talk about all of this on Github, so I am hopeful. But really, right now, this is… not a good situation.

To sum up the replies (thank you so much, everyone!), so far no instance recommendations, but:

Tusky (Android client) has a light theme and uses Android's font size settings (thanks @frankiesaxx @Amaury @Jules)

You can meter my stress level by counting the length of my sentences multiplied by the number of missing punctuation marks.

I just figured out that this rule does not only apply to social media but in general and omg everything makes so much sense now.

I love LaTeX so much.

I need to present my thesis soon and for that I have to make slides and this would be too much work for me to handle rn.

But thank the holy fairy-tree for LaTeX. I will just copy & paste all the interesting things right out of my thesis and throw it into a beamer class document and it will be fine.

I want to sleep for 2 months now but I still have things to do the next few weeks. (this is my personal thesis tag)

I need a second e-mail client for the scary work and uni accounts.

Because whenever I get scared I can't open my e-mail client and that's just a little inconvenient because I am unable to check all off my mails which means I can't make new mastodon accounts and nice things like that.

My faves can mean:

* I see you, so you know somebody is out there and cares and you don't toot into the cold empty universe. Doesn't mean I like that you feel bad, if that's what you just shared. I'm often not able to say it with words
* I like your thing/thought/work you just shared with the world thank you
* I got your message

The Mastodon "Remote follow" feature could be so easily used to phish the average Mastodon user into signing into a fake instance.

⚠️ Important security reminder: Always make sure the URL shows your "home instance" when logging in.
