Life is Strange just has too much bullying and abuse in it for me to not be completely terrified? I don't think I'll play any more of that.
@nicolai Okay, da haben wir offensichtlich unterschiedliche Bubbles. Wobei ich nicht nur Zustimmug als "darauf eingehen" sehen würde, sondern eben auch kritische Auseinandersetzung (obwohl man die natürlich als Beißreflex abtut 🙄).
Aber "Durchsichtige psychologische Bedürfnisse danach auch mal die Peitsche in der Hand zu halten, Gemeinschaftsfimmel, Regression hinter die Republik" – ehrlich? Ich glaub die Unterhaltung bringt grad uns beiden nichts, lassen wir das.
@nicolai o.O also die Vorwürfe der Konservativen seh ich zB auf Twitter deutlich weniger diskutiert als die einiger "linker" Twitter-Bubbles, und, vielleicht schlimmer, als fast deckungsgleich damit. Bei dem linken Fandom braucht das Buch keine Konservativen, das erledigen die schon selbst.
(Und was ich vom Buch selbst mitbekommen hab hat von der interessanten Kritik auch nichts merken lassen, leider.)
@Sapphaos yes! this has been open (and marked high priority) on github for quite a while now… https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1010 i hope it happens some time soon?
@Jules Here's a fun fact: Weavers sorta had computers before computers existed. The jaquard loom used punch cards to save complicated brocade or damask patterns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom#Jacquard_looms
They do belong in the family tree of inventions that led to modern computers. :D
>> One does not need to be experienced in computer science to use a ready-made computer program. There are already many on the market and more being advertised all the time in weavers' periodicals. ...
What does one do, however, when there seems to be no ready-made program available to use with a particular brand of computer? ... A third answer which could lead to tailor-made usefulness and greatest independence in the long run is, "Make your own program to fit your own interests and equipment."

How do you feel about computers applied to weaving? If you have the opportunity to try one, you may be pleasantly surprised! Not so very long ago, I associated computers mainly with large businesses or for use in industrial and scientific processes. Suddenly, it seems, computers are in evidence everywhere from banks and grocery stores to private homes - including those of weavers!"
it's always humorous when people imply that without money or capital or jobs, humans would become idle and do nothing and waste away.
let me be real here -- i LOVE working. i love doing shit. i love labor so much. but i fucking HATE when i don't get to have control over my labor, when i have to labor for the sake of preventing my home being taken from me, or my power turned off, or starving.
do you know how much MORE work i would do if it was working out of my own desire instead of capital?
The author ends with :
"Well, my apple word processor tells me that this installment now contains 16,016 ASCII-character-bytes, which is about all that Clotilde has alloted me for this chapter. Join me next time for a chat about computer languages and programming."
I will now go an read all the nice computer stuff in the weavers journals that were published the year I was born ^^ It's a whole series!
Look what I just found. From an introduction to computers for weavers in a 1983 weaving journal https://computerfairi.es/media/_c7DMF30QPRXghFTZcs
The journal is online here: https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/periodicals/wj_30.pdf
