This is your reminder that disk rot is real and will come for your CDs.

I've just ripped some '00s disks and these already have spots on them.

When did the theory of education and learning styles turn from "You should, if capable, provide multiple form factors of information so people can choose the one they are most capable of absorbing"...

...into "You should blast your captive audience with a fire hose of shit in multiple formats that give a sub-set of the information then blame them when they consistently do not retain the info presented in one"?

visual novels??? what’s next, audio books????

@anya ooh interesting! I’m really glad that folks aren’t mean to it - that’s a big concern that I can have about revealing my own identity IRL. so it’s really encouraging to hear that it hasn’t had that experience. plus I think it’s really good to broaden peoples’ perspectives like that! I genuinely think that does a lot of good for society in general, to show them that weird folks like us exist and are nice and also harmless lol

@anya omg how do folks react to a conversation like that? are they pretty understanding, do they tend to misunderstand, does the concept make them uncomfortable or make them treat it badly? I’m super curious about what its experiences are

@Nox it definitely will! I really like the term and that’s one of the reasons why. it’s incredibly inclusive

@ilobmirt @fargate ooh thank you! I might take you up on that at some point. it’s going to be a massive pain to switch because I have some fairly complex workflow stuff installed in neovim, but honestly if neovim keeps spontaneously breaking itself then I might just have to

it is perfectly normal, not problematic and especially not ableist to not want to be with someone who doesn't take care of their mental health

@Mycroft In Sweden in particular, we call this sort of thing "april weather" with the specific implication that it's analogous to "april('s fools) joke", cus it sure does feel like the weather is playing a joke on you.

When it comes to the specific climate of Sweden, April tends to be positioned so that you can get rain, snow and sunshine all on the same day, and good luck dressing for that!

Using a mug to store bits and bobs on your desk seems like a great idea until you zone out and unthinkingly drop your lip balm in your coffee.

Just so y’all know, most people with epilepsy do not have photosensitive epilepsy. It’s only about 5% of them. Often, photosensitivity will be the only epilepsy trigger people will know and they think it affects everyone with epilepsy.

@Nox it’s basically anything that is intelligent, about on the level of a human or higher

happy 17776 day to all who celebrate 🛰️🏈

It is kind of fascinating what sort of thing people assume will be difficult to do in comics vs what's actually difficult.

There was a conversation on Prokopetz blog about how it's a common trope of framing chess matches in comics in a needlessly dramatic way to avoid having to draw the board and everyone just sort of assumed the problem was constructing plausible chess positions for each panel and not that on a practical level, drawing 32 pieces is a pain in the ass.

To be fair, I don't agree with Prokopetz that constructing plausible chess games is a non-factor, if you want your chess game to have a specific emotional arc to it, it can take some planning and a fair bit of chess knowledge, but it is true that most of the time, you can either just not bother cus who's gonna check or you can simply look up chess notation for a random game and use that as the base so if anyone IS autistic about chess they are gonna be able to pinpoint the exact grandmaster game you cribbed from.
