I've personally imported it into English from the danish word "formiddag" (lit.: before mid day).

It's the time period between morning and noon, where morning is until 8 or 9 depending on your circadian rhythm and other context.
Noon is 12:00, before is forenoon, after is afternoon.

The point of "gender is a spectrum" was never that one's gender can sit somewhere between male and female (but sure, that's an option), and neither does it say anything about how many poles or dimensions gender have.

The point was, is, and always will be that gender is continuous. Gender is not a finite set. Gender is infinite. Gender is not countable.

When I think of a future with Open Social Media, I imagine three pillars.

1) Microblogging (ActivityPub), for sharing thoughts with strangers, ephemeral community building, and broad+global reach.

2) Forum / Stable Community (no good solution yet, AFAIK), for discussing, planning, buying/selling locally. All within a distinct group of people, membership of which can be managed.

3) Peer2Peer (Scuttlebutt?), for talking directly to friends, family, nearby people, and easily sharing files.

They motherfucking did it. Google is now blocking everyone in Denmark from hearing Danish music on YouTube.

Everyone else can hear our music but us.

What The Fuck.

And straight into Korpiklaani shouting VODKA! Now that's a mood shift.

#np Korpiklaani - Vodka

#np Blind Guardian - "The Bard's Song - In The Forest"

Suddenly, I want to learn this song, translate it to danish, and play it at the end of a weeklong LARP camp, while we all celebrate the end of the last battle and mourn the end of our shared fantasy world.

Hearts on fire? More like farts for hire.

Imagine if we had the technology to update posts with image descriptions written by other people, so that the description would show up properly assigned to the image, and not just in a possibly-not-federating-along-with reply.

Imagine if we had that technology.

You want to convince people your plan/ideology/concept/idea is good?

Learn to communicate it in a way that fits the audience. Repeating opaque slogans can at best reinforce the in-group, at worst alienate the out-group and parts of the in-group.

And guess who knows absolutely nothing about communicating to the seven billion people on earth today? Everyone who wrote a book in the 19th century. I'm looking at you Marx & Kropotkin.

"private" is a shitty word to try to distinguish non-personal property, because in all other contexts private is exactly about the personal.

Private is the opposite of communal / belonging to the state. It is as good as a synonym of "personal".

I don't have a better term for what communists mean when they say "private property", but it is a shit term nonetheless.

The toddler just independently invented the bananaphone.

Incidentally, one of the few sentences I know in latin is
"Musa fixa est in aure; te audire no possum."

Is there a kind of for-loop that can't be expressed as a map function?

Since ifs, loops, break, and continue are all just fancy goto's, can't we take the abstraction a bit further, and get rid of all the manual index increments and special case breaks/continues?

(Am I just reinventing iterators here? How much theoretical computer science language design do I have to study to make anything that could be better than Rust?)

I caught 12 dratinis today

That means looots of dratini candy, and I now have a near perfect dragonite 😍

I'd be interesting in setting what multiclassing means in such a system.

Has anyone ever made a fantasy (TT)RPG where the available classes are
• worker
• landowner (/farmer)
• capitalist (/merchant/trader)
?
