Becoming increasingly convinced that my swiping keyboard on mobile is getting less and less accurate, and increasingly paranoid that I'm actually just getting more and more of a grumpy old man. #nuance
What artists on here would make a killer tarot deck?
@[email protected] It wouldn't be a traditional deck (but if you wanted that, why commission art? :D) but I've been enjoying the art from @[email protected] on their feed.

@[email protected] Also, as a very random side note the EU (as an organisation, and various governments within the EU) are currently funding open source infrastructure work. It gets in the weeds quickly, but it may be something of interest: even if you don't need/want to engage with it yourself, individuals can apply for support to help projects as long as the maintainers agree the work benefits the project.
@mavnn I think this thread is me calling upon my followers! I am willing to fund the start of this with my consulting and newsletter right now
@[email protected] I saw just as I posted! I hadn't spotted how recent your posts were or I would have waited in case you were still writing (as you were...)
My dream would be to assemble a small group of tech advisors who want to see this work happen to chat with, even just 1 call & follow-up emails. I am really really willing to roll up my sleeve and learn lots but I want to be self-aware about the unknown unknowns. I might just be overthinking risks, but creating a form of infrastructure for SAFE and TRUSTABLE open source studies even just surveys would be my dream. And I've seen first-hand how dev data is vultured over so ownership matters to me

I guess the thing that paralyzes me is I want to take the respondents privacy and data security very seriously for obvious reasons -- I debate whether I need demographics but it really really helps evaluate the impact of these measures for different groups -- and I have been thinking about building my own thing so it's all Catharsis-owned start to finish but as you can imagine as a social scientist I would just be mucking around with a LOT I've never done
@[email protected] Well, given the type of people who follow you it doesn't seem like it would be hard to get help on the technical implementing of anything that needs implementing. But is that actually the aspect you're feeling paralysed by, or is it more the getting funding etc side of things?

A man just showed up in the mentions of somebody I follow and said "a third party you don't even know about expressed nuance about this idea and nuance is bad, because decisions should be black or white and you should take responsibility." The person he was directing the mention to was not taking about nuance, and is not responsible for the decision being made.
Don't be that man. Please. There are several layers of not being that man you should aspire to.
So, yes, this brand does use the same kind of #coffee beans so the taste is kind of the same as the one we normally buy but pre incinerated with a blow torch and delivered to your taste buds with a hammer.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah, it's been long enough since I set up a new device I'd forgotten but Syncthing-fork is the way to go on android.
Eddy: "You could even have an option where the final vote result determined the next turn!"
Hmm. Looks like the Bonfire UI doesn't allow for polls with attached images. I'll try creating one via the API tomorrow. In the mean time, here's Eddy

Occurs to me that by using polls I could make a play through of a #visualnovel on @VisualInk an #ActivityPub actor such that the first person picking each option span off a new save game down the new path (or even each vote triggered a reply to the vote on the new path given the novels can contain randomised elements). Sort massively multiplayer visual novels where anyone seeing a post could jump in and spin off a branch from the play through.
Gee thanks, #adhd! What my #chronicfatigue really needed was new project ideas that are related enough to what I'm trying to do already I'll be constantly reminded of them, large enough to need non trivial effort, silly enough to be tempting and completely useless. Why not just hit all the high points at once?!

For reasons best known to my subconscious, forgetting to test changes while logged out is a deeply embedded habit that no amount of embarrassing bugs seems to shake.
New update pushed to VisualInk that cleans up both the UI and the underlying logic for handling art assets a fair bit. Most importantly, it is now trivial to create a copy of a character or scene with a new name - allowing reuse of assets between more than one #visualnovel without having to reuse the same names. It also allows you to update the default image for a scene or character without having to upload a new file; you can just take an existing image from the asset and call it "Default".
And it's already live: visualink.mavnn.eu/ #gamedev
Now with bonus bug fix to not give controls to guest users that won't work. Oops.
@discobeez this happens all the time everywhere I go
@[email protected] @[email protected] Wait, what? I thought you used that as a place holder for the actual subject. If that's an actual quote I can only compliment you on not slapping him in the face. That's pretty disgusting behaviour.

Imagine what would happen if I sneered at computer science that way. Truly just imagine for a moment. The Decorum Gap that exists between different power structures here is disorienting.
@[email protected] I'm mostly struggling with the enormous level of ignorance required to think psychology isn't relevant to devex. Does he think the developers aren't human? Maybe the software users? I'm mystified by the (lack of) thought process.
That said, I've watched people try and fix education with tech without looking at any of the psychological or even pedagogical research in the field so...

@[email protected] 👋 found a minor bug in 1.0.3 on mobile but I can't easily access a computer to create a Github issue right now. With feeds not having much bottom padding, it is very hard to push the 'load more' button as it is almost completely hidden by the menu that sits at the bottom of the screen.
