Thought: The "registration closed" message on instance homepages should prominently include or even redirect directly to joinmastodon.org (?)

How to Free Your Android - oder: Kontrolle über das eigene Smartphone wiedererlangen
Wann: Fr., 23.06.2017 19:00
Wo: FAU-Gewerkschaftslokal, Grüntaler Str. 24
Dieser Workshop soll einen Einstieg bieten in die Befreiung des eigenen Smartphones und dabei helfen einen ersten Schritt Richtung digitale Freiheit zu tätigen. Dabei sollen Applikationen vorgestellt werden, die nicht nur auf den kommenden G20-Demos, sondern auch im Alltag nützlich sein können.
Oh ok but Librarything has an app that I didn't know of yet. I'm going to try this… it can't be worse than the Goodreads app, lol. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.librarything.librarything
I think not long ago I said that using Goodreads and Librarything worked ok for me…
Actually, I'm back to hating both. Why are they so terrible. Librarything is one huge compromise and really only ok as "I don't want to be ONLY on Goodreads", and I don't think Goodreads is even trying to be good at anything beyond the very necessities of book reviewing.
(Tell me of any alternatives that you might know, please.)

Anyone have recommendations for interactive intro to coding courses? Maybe videos or actual interactive experiences? I've been trying to read books on Javascript but my ADHD prevents me from focusing long enough to maintain the information.
As an aside, is Codeacademy actually any good? I'm getting mixed signals on it.
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.
Ok I'll continue playing VA-11 Hall-A, games that don't look or feel like real life are way easier on a tiny smol catt's nerves
Okay okay okay, I played Life is Strange ep1 and it is a really really good game and I still fucking hate it. It's so stressful omg. And really good. But omg no.

@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."
Computer Fairies can feel CYBRE, too
