One reason I hate to caption my art is because English isn't my first language. I actually don't have a clue how to translate some of the subject matters into English. So I really hope you don't mind if some of these are in Swedish or empty.

Métaphore

@dichotomiker
`plotext` package in Python has a cli tool that seems to accept `xcol` and `ycols` arguments, so looks like it should be able to plot directly from CSV files.

As there so many new people here, in particular from the field of @sociology, I'd like to present myself.

My name is Stefan Lücking. I'm working at the research foundation of the German Trade Union Confederation. I'm responsible for research grants on the topics of workplace democracy, collective action, new forms of employment and the impact of digital technologies.

Dear fellow Twitter refugee,
When you toot (tweet) "Mastodon has got to change or it's never going to work as a Twitter alternative!" or some variation...you are not offering a hot take. Twitter has been a deafening and unruly nursery for years. Mastodon is not Twitter, that's a strength. The world doesn't need a better Twitter or Facebook, the planet needs humans to evolve in their actions and communication. The fediverse might offer pathways to this.

I'm making a "Linux Boyfriend Cheatsheet" for my girlfriend so she knows what I mean when I praise Vim or crap on Windows. She did the same about her hobby, hockey.

What terms would you explain to your non-technical S/O?
