“Researchers measured autistic people against neurotypical expectations and called every difference a deficit. They tested empathy by measuring in-group preference and missed commitment to universal fairness. They measured creativity by counting the number of ideas and missed originality. They saw moral consistency and called it rigidity. They saw deep engagement and called it rigidity. They saw sensory richness and called it disorder.”

Calibre does work well for managing my ebooks, but oh is it ugly 🥵

Das gefällt mir: »Und wenn du zufällig Macho, Faschist:in und Verschwörungstheoretiker:in bist, wirst Du schnell kielgeholt!« – gerade auch das gegenderte »Faschist:in« muss diese Klientel gleich doppelt schmerzen 😄
Den Twitter-Account im Footer könntet ihr aber auch mal versenken 😉

You can check https://gaza-verified.org/ for validity. @npub1p09…m5vl is doing a lot of vetting to make sure there are real people behind those accounts …

Ugh, I hope this is not going to have similar long-lasting effects on typography like the typewriter did on French, where they « put spaces around » typographic marks ?

I can see that! I caught up with the Penpot Fest videos and saw that there were lots of new things this year alone. After a week of use, I can say it’s a keeper and the new project is going to be done with Penpot 🤗

Ugh, DHH referencing Kathy Sierra hits hard. He‘s part of and driver of a toxic culture that makes the online existence of brilliant minds like Kathy‘s impossible. It has been many years and I‘m still angry about what was done to her and I miss reading her 😢🐴❤️

I gave @npub1rfc…7tmz a spin this week for a small project and have to say, I’m quite impressed with how far it’s gotten! When I last tried it some years ago there were some show-stoppers, but not anymore.

The kid and I collected glass shards on the beach and now she made this artwork and asked me to share it. Proud of her!

Now that I understand what Pizzasallad is, I have to agree: so tasty! We call it Chabissalat here :)

Thanks, starting with a group makes total sense. In our particular case I didn't want to be the go-to-guy and was happy that someone else took on this role, albeit with Signal. But I keep looking for opportunities to set it up :)

We use Signal, because many already had it installed. Personally, I‘d like to use @npub17gp…nrxn because it relies on the email infrastructure we already have.

The super noise polluting neighbour is blasting Bob Marley into the night atm. Oh dear, I fear I will have to have a talk with them this season if that continues. Not my style, but 😬

It’s so annoying to read all these takes about not banning that German right-extremist party because that would only make things worse.
No. They need banning.
In a democracy we agree on rules and ways to renegotiate those rules. Use them to change what you don’t like, but if you attack the system in dishonest ways, you break the rules and are not allowed to play.
NOW is the time to end the destructive behaviour – in a completely democratic fashion, built into the system.

I want the rules extended to forbid Gartenarbeit in good weather! Why doesn’t everyone just use an electric mower like you, sigh …

Before it was too cold to sit on the balcony, now it’s too damn loud. Ugh.
We do have rules: he can mow for another 11 minutes. But the guy before this one mowed for an hour before that. And waterblasted his garage the days before. And then his porch.

My gosh, people with lawnmowers. 🙉

Not an expert and judging from afar, but I can understand what he‘s saying: all parties except for Die Linke have been spewing haterade against migrants and sucking up to the rich. Not ok. https://legal.social/@malteengeler/113848476183204603

I can no longer shop at physical stores, I feel agony over making decisions on the spot 😅

Haha, could've been 😅 But no, it's «Klartext» as in «speak plainly» / «put the truth on the table».
He's singing about his life as a hip hop workaholic, who is driven to work because he can't stand it when bad Swiss rap acts are equated with Swiss hip hop.He feels that it can't be that the industry says «it’s too much work, so let's just put our efforts into good marketing» without earning their spurs. He believes rap is art and if you feel it's just a product, then please stop rapping.

That was fun! I don't really listen to hip hop except when it's in my mother tongue as sung by Sektion Kuchikäschtli. Languages are beautiful and we need to enjoy them, full stop :)

Moving is too much work on all ends, I forgot to show the result 😂 Needs some sorting, but that’s for later!

Building up my Cubit shelf is always a bit of a challenge – but a fun and creative one!
