My Season of @kde@mastodon.technology student Mahmoud's just published a blog entry talking about his most recent escapades into the land of comic books in Peruse, and its creator tool as well. Doing some really great work there! :) ma-khalil.github.io/Refining-P

#MeanwhileInRussia, Saint-Petersburg: Police come to anime cosplay event, arrest about 20 teenagers.

They were detained for several hours on grounds of LGBT propaganda and some of the parents weren't allowed to their kids "because of pandemic restrictions".

Earlier this January #Russia banned certain #anime titles.

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

@carl@linuxrocks.online Just one of those "what people expect" type situations where... sure, it could be an option but also there's not really a good reason to make it one, so... maybe we could make it explicit that "tall window gets right-aligned you-bubbles, wide window gets all left-aligned", which would be really easy to read for the user... but either of those would probably do the trick :)

@carl@linuxrocks.online Telegram's handling of it's pretty neat - basically, sufficiently narrow and you get the right/left split because it reads comfortably (basically what you have here), but wider and you get all same-aligned, and... it works pretty well :) (i have a weird one where my display's so wide that half the width of my display's still too wide, so i've got a lop-sided look on my chat VD, but even then, it works :) )

Hey, if you're one of the ppl saying cryptoart will *finally* let you "support indie artists" - most of us already have a Ko-fi tipjar/patreon/comissions/various stores linked in our bios or pinned messages. If you haven't done that yet you weren't even trying.

Round 1, Match 4 of the 3rd Programming Language World Championships! #plwc2021

@aldersprig If audio fits, thevoice.dog is narrated short fiction, and the main requirement for submissions is "no downers", so maybe that's an option :)

:yay: Request :yay:

I've started my Master, my research question so far surrounds the idea of what electronic platforms add to the portrayal of queer bodies as others, often intermingling with beastly and monstrosity metaphors (often very positively)

I want to find queer creators of electronic art with a focus on body or emotional experiences. Twine hypertext, games, bots, poetry online, even twitter feeds or instagram.

If you wanna talk then DM or email ceciliewriteswords@gmail.com

@Wolthera @davidrevoy More the very specific gif of Squidward on the floor of somewhere where everything is made of chrome, with the text "FUTURE" overlaid, seems one of those that's hard to avoid running into :D

Where do you stand on the subject of:

unconditional basic income?

#boost #opinion #poll #science #economics #research

@Tay0@fosstodon.org It would, yes :) It would be lovely to have at least /some/ way to know who some of your supporters are... A switch to let people you support know that you do, possibly even a way to let them send you a message (not a content delivery system, just a send-an-email thing), it would suddenly make liberapay kind of... an actual possible patreon alternative for a lot of people who just want to show that gratitude :)

rubber drone, latex, gasmask, fetish photography 

@icefoxx Such a lovely aesthetic, and a most delightful drone configuration :)

So a few days ago I said I wanted to talk a bit more about the worldview behind that little book of 1980s lesbian feminist cartoons I have. Because it’s the kind of feminism I remember from when I was a student, and it’s the kind of feminism so many TERFs and their allies in the U.K. started with.

I’ll start with some scans...

Is there still a leftist Indian part of the fediverse or did it die off?
