On Twitter I practiced my Spanish by following accounts like CNN en Español twitter.com/CNNEE - Spanish language accounts that publish news headlines are really useful for things like vocabulary, and because they are about current affairs I can often guess the words that I'm missing

Anyone got recommendations for similar accounts on Mastodon that I could follow?

Hi All,

Welcome to all the Mastodon newbies like myself, and to all the old timers sorry about all the noise and disruption 🙂

The Slow Music Movement is a daily music tip blog, monthly radio show, playlist curator and record label focused on lesser known independent artists and generally laid back underground music.

Let's make Mastodon a nice place to hang out.

All the best

"Yes, but all #documentation is technical debt. You constantly have to update it. It’s always wrong. Consequently, you should write as a little of it as possible."

👆 The worst take that keeps fueling #agile zealots.

This keeps pushing the "#code is documentation" racket. No, documentation needs to be there because it's the only thing that destroys the silos. Because we had a bad way to document doesn't mean we don't fix the core problem of making documentation effective.

@gloriouseggroll I'd just focus on here. Let people repost what you post here on twitter for you. ;)

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Heading back home to #virginia for Christmas. I’m gonna hug and kiss the hell outta my Mom. ☝️

Show thread

Imagine having to attend new employee orientation before the hiring committee has let you know whether they liked you.

"He is a Billionnaire. He's Italian. You're a truck driver. You're Swiss. Why do you think he cares about you? Why do you think he is on your side?" It was utterly shocking for him to hear this. A man that has been treated badly by everyone hears that the only notable person that pretends to care about him, can't possibly care about him either? He wasn't able to process it.

Show thread

Berlusconi, Putin, Trump, they all pretend to be simple people. Why does a regular guy believe that the billionaire is on his side? Why don't they see it? As someone told me on Twitter, yesterday, regular people get treated so badly that if, for once, someone is on their side, they fall for it no matter how phony it may look from a distance.

Fact: #Mastodon was named after a creature that existed on planet earth, while #Twitter was not.
