Today I wrote a program that takes a tsalagi transcription and puts it in the actual writing system

(there's some weird edge cases, but wikipedia notes that any software that tries to do this will have this issue)

@kity@sleeping.town sorry, it's a hyphen rather than an underscore

@kity@sleeping.town (just making sure - have you tried steam_run ?)

@Fenreliania it seems to only block them from commenting on your videos, so it probably doesn't remove them from the algorithm

In general, acquaintance is symmetric. That is, if you know someone, they also know you. The exceptions have historically been quite rare. On social media, though, by default acquaintance is not symmetric. Depending on what they post, you can know someone quite well without them even knowing you exist, or vice versa. I think this is where a lot of the problems come from.

What do sea creatures use for public transport?

Behind the scenes of one of my favourite episodes of New Doctor Who

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

The next story: The Evil of the Daleks.

This story was supposed to be the last Dalek story ever – Terry Nation wanted to pitch a Dalek spinoff show to American TV statiosn, so this was written to get rid of them.

The daleks would return, of course, but not for 5 years. (prior to this point, there had been at least 1 dalek story every year).
