I finally realized, after almost one year in total computering burnout... I don't hate computer science. I'm actually still totally into the science part of computer science. But I hate academia and almost every industry in the world.

Yes, hi, I'm still around, just not much on cybre.space because... you know. cybre burnout or whatever.

Please if you want to pay me for being a curious person who just exists exploring interesting things, DM me 😂

So whats the best place to discuss #Tusky development? I have a lot of ideas for Tusky where I need user input before implementation. Mastodon and Github seem to be the most obvious choices, but I am open for other ideas.

Reminder: in general, I don't boost images unless they have image descriptions.

I try not to make exceptions unless I describe the images myself. But mostly I don't have the energy so I just don't boost.

And also: either you are already forgetting about image descriptions (because we don't tell you multiple times a day?) because there are so many pictures without or the feature is only working on a few select images. Guess it's not that though  

Yes I'm pissed, it's really not that hard, just inconvenient. So go and write image descriptions!

You can see image descriptions in #tusky now and I'm very happy about this. The font is a bit too small for me to be able to read without trouble though.

It's even easier today. We can build on knowledge and wireless technologies and experience.
We need to build a new internet, everyone! Like the last time. Maybe it will last us 20 more years until corporations ruin everything again.

Eyo, Mastodon ~ Any #girlslikeus on the line? I'm feeling alienated everywhere I go. Trans community around here is all transmasc ppl mostly, queer community is all afab (and oblivious to transmisogyny) and feminist community still treats me like a second degree citizen.

How do you deal with that? I mean. I'm feeling down tonight and need a pat on the back, but also, I'm serious about taking life advice if anyone out there has tips.

This kind of goes back to the point I was talking about code vs culture.

I wish I could just make technical considerations the primary point when deciding what social media I use when I'm online.

But as my words and profile upset people who refuse to view the world outside of their own myopia, I have to consider dealing with waves of harassment as well.

It's a privilege to not have to worry about sustained harassment.

I find this experience is often lacking when people talk software.
