food, mh(-) 

Me: "I need to get up early tomorrow, I should go to bed."
Also me: "Or I could just say 'fuck it', eat cookies, and watch youtube."
Me: "Valid."

@Gallowglass@cybre.space @kelbesque Though it can't be that hard if it's a feature that more than one client has, right? 😅

@Gallowglass@cybre.space @kelbesque Yeah, it seems mobile clients are way ahead of the desktop or web ones 😐

@mrszee Yay!
You're welcome!
I hope you like it, I know he can be rather polarizing 😅 (especially his earlier works...)

Handy tip:
If you see (+), (-) or (~) in a content warning, that's an indicator of if the content is positive, negative or mixed.

Food (+++) 

@shoofle I didn't bake it myself, but bought it warm at the local bakery.
It's a local specialty to northern Germany called "Gersterbrot".
It's a sourdough rye bread that has has open flames play over it in the middle of baking (iirc).
This seals in the moisture and makes it stay fresh longer, but more importantly: It's super juicy on the inside and super crispy on the outside (and just delicious all-around)!

@shoofle Updated versions, localized versions, rom hacks, etc.?
I always grab the No-Intro set, they don't include all that nonsense.

@kelbesque Been having the same thoughts for a few days now.
Too bad I'm horrible at anything front-end related 😆

Fresh bread (baked ~8 hours ago) + fresh coleslaw = :blobhearteyes:

General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.

Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.

We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."

I read the comments, Pol (- - -), Mastodon, snark 

There were a lot more comments (why do I do this to myself?) along the lines of "blocking whole instances violates my free speech and is evil!", so the original commenter I saw might have been a Trumpist instead of an Ancap... 💀

I'm looking for three other fiction writers (open to nonfiction writers too), a graphic artist and a videographer to start a part-time artist cooperative (less than 10 hours a week). Hit me up if interested. Signal boost if you know people who might be.

I read the comments, Pol (~?), Mastodon, snark 

Read an article about Mastdon, and then made the mistake of reading the comments. One of them can be paraphrased as such:
"The problem with federated systems is that one admin can quickly become a dictator, in centralized systems you at least have accountability!"

I'm not sure whether that person was high or... dunno... reading too much Ayn Rand?
Either way, probably an Ancap :blobthinkingcool:

@mrszee I expect, once book 3 is out, I will re-read Patrick Rothfuss's quite often as well!

@mrszee Didn't mean to promote my tumblr there, I just have strong opinions on that series 😅

@mrszee Peter F. Hamilton's "Commonwealth"* series, Lois McMaster Bujold's series.
I used to read and over and over when I was younger and I'm tempted to give them another go...

* Don't read the last two books, they suck. And the first one in the universe (but not the series!) is rather meh. And the short stories are not obvious in their placement... I made a tumblr post about this, in case anyone is curious: tumblr.hurtsmybra.in/post/1599

misogyny, violence, sex-related 

Unfriendly reminder that the concept of virginity is a deeply misogynist social construct, made up* based on a misunderstanding of anatomy, combined with (really gross) wishful thinking.

People have been murdered over this concept, many lives have been ruined.

* It's far from clear who came up with it, but I feel pretty safe in saying: It was disgusting, old men.
