@dzuk I love Linguee https://www.linguee.fr/

It's giving you in context examples from texts written in both languages and it's really great to find out what some idiomatic expressions means that would be pretty hard to figure out otherwise with other dictionnaries

“I left Mastodon 27 days ago”

https://medium.com/@cassolotl/i-left-mastodon-27-days-ago-ae34919290e1

A follow-up to the post I wrote when I first left Mastodon, to see what’s changed since and what hasn’t.

#mastodon

I'm sorry for posting this so much, everything is still incredibly tight right now, I still can't find a job and I'm stressed out. We need food and toiletries and don't have much until Monday and then back to not having much money for anything. My commissions are open and I would prefer to do that instead of being given money for no reason. I'm trying my best to find a job but I'm not hearing back from anyone at the minute and I'm just feeling a bit hopeless 😥

As suspected, LAPD is hassling protesters already.

100 S Alameda started their tent city last night.

300 N. Los Angeles Ave. camp will start today.

I believe that's where we will be today for protests.

#LosAngeles masto friends should come.

ginny is still in need of support for things like: food 🍎, bills 💸, & medication

check out her patreon for things she's currently working on, & give a small monthly pledge if you can: https://www.patreon.com/ginnymcqueen

she also has a shop you can get cute anti-facist catwear & cool coffee mugs: http://www.sunflower.cafe/

ginny is a very great human, & also a very great resource to any social media site given her expertise in online harassment.

please support &/or boost!

Now is the time to start thinking about this. Are you willing to help out, from a governance perspective?

It's been suggested by @PaulFerence that we use affirmative action to make sure that the leading group is diverse from the get go.

Send us your nominations, or volunteering. Talk with people you'd want to work with on this.

Which perspectives do you want represented here?

#ForkOffTogether

My experience with men in FOSS is the same as my experience with men in games, comics, TV, film, web content, craft beer, and photography.

It's all the same entitled, hostile shit that has a built-in system to make sure everyone else is kept on the fringe.

Stop trying to reason with the unreasonable.

you can not reverse-oppress someone

oppression is not a game of Uno

i do not speak for all of us who came here to mastodon. but i can speak for myself, and hopefully those like me.

we came here because, for a while, people listened. because there were others like us that wanted something better. because there was meaningful change. that's what #forkofftogether is all about. let's change, let's ditch the entitled techbro who has become more of an obstacle than a helper.

he ditched us once he gained enough of a platform, our turn to ditch him.

NOT ALL.....

#NotAllX

@Are0h Kind of how they realized that most of the psychology studies heavily favored graduate students and college students way of thinking; because they didn't go off campus much to get more opinions / insight

suggested reading for tech people

As someone that picked up programming on their own, the ability to create something from nothing is very powerful. I can understand why coders think they should lead.

But this is just myopia. If you're just building something for yourself, that's fine, but if you're building some for other people, it _must_ be a collaborative effort with people that are not like you.

And I think we've seen enough platforms built from a singular experience and perspective.
