What do we call someone who operates on the fediverse?

Fedinaut? Mastodontist? ?

Just a few minutes ago the german government announced that the village #Lützerath will be excavated to get the coal below. The whole village is squatted by climate activists, there are tree houses and more.

If you can, help to defend the village against fossil capitalism #LütziBleibt

I looked outside just now and saw a very bright "star" to the NNE.

Took a quick photo at 400mm focal length, and took a peek on the computer. It's Jupiter and 4 of its moons.

W nawiązaniu do dyskusji o tym, co powinni robić studenci i wykładowcy... jeszcze jedna historia z życia wzięta. Dość już stara.

Zajęcia z programowania, zaliczenie. Daję zadanie, naprawdę bardzo proste (coś w rodzaju napisz funkcję dodającą dwie liczby, serio), student się męczy. To kolejne zaliczenie z rzędu. Nie wychodzi mu. Podchodzę, wskazuję błędy składniowe. Przypominam wam tutaj - to już zaliczenie, nie zajęcia.

W końcu student kończy i wstaje, bo nic nie zrobił. Sugeruję, że ma jeszcze sporo czasu i może spróbuje dokończyć.

Na to student ze złością "Nie, bo pan mnie nie potrafi zmotywować".

Przyznam, że mnie tak dokumentnie zatkało, że dopiero parę minut o wyjściu gniewnego studenta wpadłem na kilka ripost.

Może uznacie mnie za sztywnego, nieelastycznego i w ogóle, ale jednak takie podejście studenta uważam za po prostu śmieszne.

I've been self-hosting my email address for a year and a half now, and I can say I'm still very happy to have my own virtual garden. Yes, vegetables that grow here aren't the prettiest, but *I've* been growing them.

One of the best part is when I give my email address to someone, and they say "oh, I've never seen that service name before, I didn't know it existed" haha

at some point, Twitter's algorithm downranking your posts becomes too fucking obvious.

US mad about 95% approval of Russian annexation in Ukraine? The 'sham' is 95% of Hawaiians *rejected* annexation, and America stole our country anyway, banned our language and culture.
