It’s really sad I’m sharing this, but it is so satisfying that @CostaCoffee@twitter.com letters can be coloured in for milk type (coconut, oat, soya, tit, almond)

If you don’t dispose of the phone and SIM after it’s *first and only* use, it’s not a “”, it’s just a “different phone”.

Meta/“official” Mastadon app (iOS) 

This seems completely redundant in three ways:
1) displaying something filtered at all;
2) displaying something filtered at (presumably) the reserved size of the filtered content;
2) displaying something filtered with no other context to determine if the filter needs to be fine-tuned.

🎶 Show me the way to the issue tracker. I’m tired and I want to go to bed. 🎶

Why is it called “going out for another bike ride” and not “recycling”?

Ugh. Imposter syndrome kicking in big time. Always does when I’m running on empty, but that seems to be precisely when one needs to be able to pretend to be on the ball.

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

Good results so far.. some server admins told us to fuck off and wouldn't even listen. But quite a few so far have told me we are now removed from the block list. Several others are reviewing our timeline and will make a decision.

I expect many instances wont listen since they never bothered to fact check the accusations in the first place. But the fact that in less than an hour many have already agreed to unblock us is enough for me to consider this a successful interaction.

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
So I reached out to admins of the few instances that block us with a polite email explaining some of the misinformation spread about us in the past...

You can go months in London without seeing any colleagues whilst commuting.

This morning I saw two. One fully 5 stops before work.

Obvs didn't speak to them. I'm not a monster.

Nuclear SQA Nerdery 

One of the worrying issues when validating code, scientific code in particular, is the use of undocumented numeric literals, more popularly known as Magic Numbers. The lack of documentation complicates the V&V process; sometimes the meaning of a number is obvious from context but often it's not. What should be an exercise checking that a value is appropriate turns into a search for what that value represents.

Scientology 

"Scientology and the Aftermath" helped to expose #Scientology for what it is. It would be nice to have a series do the same for the evangelical fundamentalist Christianity that thrives at mega-churches throughout the U.S. Sort of like a Jesus Camp series that sticks the horror in viewers' faces until they decide that it is no longer acceptable. #christian #ChristianNationalism #television

Autism 101 :autism: :verified:

Autistic burnout can be much more than simply being exhausted. It can include feeling overwhelmed or having constant anxiety.😞

You may find your special interests are no longer appealing or that you feel irritable all the time.😒

Have you experienced burnout?
