  • The post on Mastodon has a screenshot of the post edit history:

    Screenshot of a forum post, showing the versions before and after an edit. The sentence "I am queer, I am technically a furry too" was edited into "I am technically a furry too"

    And a copy-pasted response from a moderator (the most relevant bit):

    So in my opinion, if your intention was to show political support for diversity, you should avoid using this flag. This will allow us to refuse the use of a flag for instance saying ‘non-queer’, If we allow your flag, then we have to admit also other similar political flags, both supporting and opposing diversity.




  • Funny story. 50 years ago, to this very day, a revolution occurred in which Portugal took down its dictatorship.

    The following day some public administrator/manager sent a letter complaining about people missing work!

    Translation after the letter

    Your Excellency Director General

    I inform Your Excellency that yesterday, April 25, 1974, several employees were absent from work, claiming that a revolution had occurred in the country.

    I clarify that this revolution was not authorized by superiors, and no justification was seen for the absences, especially as the service was considerably delayed.

    As the current legislation does not provide for absences due to the occurrence of revolutions, I submit the matter to your high discretion, in the certainty that it will deserve due attention.

    I don’t agree with the problem they aim to solve with those goals.

    But today it takes several years of mastering tools and frameworks to get to that stage. HTML First principles should allow people to unlock that feeling, and level of mastery, much earlier on in their coding journey.

    The onboarding process can be made easier for devs new to the project (junior or senior) with decent documentation. Just enough install/build the project in their local machine and understand the gist of the technologies.

    May be a coincidence, but it stopped launching for me too. Worked Monday and Tuesday, yesterday I didn’t try to play, today it didn’t work.

    Tried:

    • running “verify integrity of game files”
    • forcing Proton,
    • clearing shader cache
    • attempted various launch options, like vulkan, fullscreen, and windowed
    • update all flatpaks (since I installed steam through flatpak)
    • reboot
