Started the article thinking there’s nothing wrong with GitHub’s repo page. Ended it by concluding that there’s actually little right. I don’t think the design is perfect (I would bring the README higher up), but there’s some great ideas here! https://tonsky.me/blog/github-redesign/

Anyone out there proficient in both English and #spanish by chance? I have a very very dear friend of mine (my best friend) in fact who asked for my help. She and her dad, who speaks spanish, have for her whole life had some serious issues. It is really hurting my friends mental health. She reached out to me to try to talk to him since she knows I am usually very good at mediating with people and I think if i can reach him it would be a huge help for her.
I need someone who would be willing to translate a few emails back and forth between Spanish and English so I can attempt to have a talk with him.
I'd really appreciate someones help who is a native speaker.
With Pete falling behind in the DNC primaries and with no decent 3rd-party candidates stepping up it is starting to look like I might have no choice left but to vote for Trump. What a scary idea, that man is incompetent, but lesser of two evils I guess.
I really hope another option will present itself before then...
I am a liar & a sorcerer
I am so fickle that I scorn the bridle.
I am unchaste, voluptuous and idle.
I am a bully & a tyrant crass,
I am as dull & as stubborn as an ass;
I am untrusty, cruel & insane,
I am a fool & frivolous & vain.
I am a weakling & a coward; I cringe,
I am a catamite & cunnilinge.
I am a glutton, a besotted wight;
I am a satyr & a sodomite.
I am as changeful & selfish as the Sea.
I am a thing of vice & vanity.
I am not violent & I vaccilate,
I am a blind man & esmasculate.
I am a raging fire of wrath no wiser!
I am a blackguard, spendthrift & a miser.
I am obscene & devious & null.
I am ungenerous & base & dull.
I am not marked with the white Flame of Breath.
I am a Traitor! die the traitor's death!

This right here is yet another example of why freedom of speech is so important and why I am appalled by the tendency of the fediverse to demonize it.
