Also I dreamed something that was really nice and really nice hurt/comfort
It was a variation on that trope that is a thing in my dreams, where I pretend to be injured to get attention, but it doesn't work bc nobody believes it or cares… Except this dream was kind of the opposite, it was about running through woods in teams (why would I do that o.o) and i/we surprise-won the first run (lol) and my team didn't want us to continue when i sprained my ankle in the second run but i kind of forced us,
Okay, I have awoken, where can I download my coffee so as not to be too sleepy to be a big scary monster *flumps face back into pillow cutely*
I would download a coffee without a moment of hesitation.
ah, closed it. well, i did SO many things today, now i really need sleeps. don't wake me tomorrow, unless you bring coffee ~
saved the plants, am procrastinating going to sleep, might be freezing to death because also procrastinating closing the window
… i might still do that. i don't want my plants to die, it makes me feel like a bad human
oh oops i didn't water my orchid today, either. welp. i hope it's not too much into water, that would be sad.
Okay, that looks promising #lastboost https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.juggler.subwaytooter
(…I'm not going to try it today, I need to sleep. Meows.)

Subway Tooter is the Mastodon multi account Android app I'd been waiting for. wow!
…äh ja ich fühl mich grad schon voll schlecht für so viel übertriebenen Hass auf alles, aber tbh tut mir so ein bisschen Selbstgerechtigkeit gerade auch ganz gut zur Abwechslung :o
Oooh was ich ja auch hass (…aber nur grob related, also eigentlich gar nicht so) ist, wenn die skriptum-artigen Folien für eine ganze Vorlesung in einer einzigen Datei, schlecht strukturiert und ohne Inhaltsverzeichnis sind und es nichteinmal eine "in der Einheit ging es bis Seite soundso"-Übersicht gibt, und die Info die man sucht in einem Bild ist. *hasshasshass*

I really hate this thing where "not knowing stuff" is kind of the worst thing that someone can admit in tech-world. This is why so many people struggle to learn things, are afraid to ask questions,...
All these "everyone knows this!"-guys and their not very funny "jokes" are just so not useful or helpful. Especially in spaces that are MEANT for learning things!
Folien so "Im konkreten Fall kann man n=1 (oder als echter Informatiker auch n=0) wählen"
… … ich frag mich, was man mit der Formulierung bewirken will? Lerninhalte vermitteln wohl eher nicht?
Ich bin echt unpraktisch sensibel bei so Kram, und orr dieses ganze Abgrenzungsding bei noch so kleinen Kleinigkeiten und in/statt Erklärungen macht alles so anstrengend. *grenz sich auch ab, aber in xiesem Schneckenhaus ganz allein und trotzig, u know*

Yesterday Gargron helped me get his take on the project, so that I can write a mission statement. But, I would also love to hear your take, so I can combine the two into our collective statement.
This is me trying to be more transparent with the process.
Feel free to help me answer these questions:
1. What does Mastodon mean to you?
2. Where do you want to see the project go?
3. How do you talk about Mastodon with your friends?
And that seems so counter intuitive, like, I'd assume it was the other way round, get the general idea of what something is from videos and then read something for the "what does it have to look like exactly" bit? but apparently no
Okay but I'm super fascinated by how useful youtube is for me for understanding simple coding stuff
I can't focus on the lecture (because it's long and boring) or on books or other written explanations but there are some really good videos
Even more surprisingly i think i usually get the general concept from other sources, but if i have trouble understanding how to use things (sometimes that's just about remembering enough of the syntax to be able to look things up?!) video explanations are 👍
The thing about metaphors is not only that they might not capture the issue accurately, or that they are not universally accessible, but also
that they can make people hate you because you manage to hit all their squicks at once ✨

here's my project manager safe pitch for making your game accessible by designing it so all its difficulty is optional, even to the point of making failure impossible:
you know how popular streaming is? people see the whole game for free! no fair!
now what if the players could stream the game... to themselves... until it was over... using the game controller???
"your point was clear enough without getting sexist, and i found the part where you talked about the computery bits far more relatable before you anthropomorphised them"
