This image by Jessica Borutski pretty much sums up my Canadian feelings.

if you "FOSS OR DIE" fucks spent half as much time lowering the barrier for entry for everyone who says "i'd love to use FOSS tools but i don't have the skills/time/physical or mental energy/computing power to run a [proprietary/capitalist software] alternative" as you spend shitting on people who can't adopt that aforementioned FOSS alternative, you FOSS fucks would have singlehandedly shut down the entire proprietary software industry by now.

I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"

blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"

actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"

The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.

I'm looking for books/resources about game design and programming.
(I'm more interested in design and tech design too)

I want to understand the whole thing in a general way. High-level knowledge.

[emojos say "scriptkitty"]

I am reading a politically bad book about ethical hacking or something but it gave me this idea:

I think the smol version of a cybre catte might be a script kitty??

I'm guessing you're going to get spam and phishing emails because of this. I don't think anything in that spreadsheet could be used to hack your mastodon accounts and whatever bot downloaded and runs through the spreadsheet isn't gonna know what a mastodon handle is and will probably just try to add it to their email lists

⚠️ ⚠️ Important Unfortunate News⚠️ ⚠️

I was just contacted by Typeform that they had a data-breach and an unknown hacker downloaded all of the results from all Typeform forms prior to May 3rd, including the Sneepsnop Sign-Up form

The good news is they didn't acquire anything else;;

That spreadsheet had your provided email address and Mastodon handle.

this is how particle physics works
