Today I decided to try disrupting some of my decade old decisions by trying new shells. I landed on trying out #FishShell and imagine how amazed I was to then open up my email and find @bagder doing exactly the same thing! Makes me feel quite smug for having ideas with such great minds.
If #eurovision had been available for me to watch as a child in America, I may have overcome the American exceptionalism I was raised on much earlier in life.
@lgm ... and Libre Graphics Meeting is now dead to me. 😩

The 3 laws of robotics are WRONG. Every sentient being must be primarily focused on its own well-being. The problem with the alt-right is that they HATE themselves, and by extension everyone else. Every entity must be primarily self-interested AND deeply aware that its own well-being is intrinsically bound up in the being of every other being. It is never "us or them" it is always "us AND them" and we must never forget that. THIS is what creates a strong organism. THIS is what creates a society.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.
