@jwildeboer So I've understood from the news here and my close German friend. I wonder if we're going to face the same here. Our numbers are now rising alarmlingly after a week or two of going reasonably okay.

@valleyforge Well my understanding goes along like this:

If you're homeschooled, you basically don't really learn how to deal with a diverse amount of people. Those homeschool organizations likely will search likeminded people together. You won't learn about other cultures, other attitudes, etc. You're going to get stuck in your own bubble.

If you aren't really aware of how other people and/or cultures behave or react, and only see confirmation bias from your own peers, you're going to be quite stuck in your way of thinking. Your will becomes inflexible. This, in turn, can polarize a society if you're not willing to listen to other people's views.

This is Texas we're talking about. From what I read in the news about it, that's already quite a conservative state. So if those children/students are going to be homeschooled, that could be a downwards spiral right there in terms of accepting 'people who are not like you' in future generations.

So, possibly more polarization oncoming. It can become a toxic political climate for the whole country if this isn't done carefully.

@JonathanMBR I like how those 2 pictures are placed next to each other in my timeline as if you've posted a panorama. :)

Nice view. Now that's a desert.

Wheeeeee! Went grocery shopping and bought the latest comic album, Suske & Wiske #355! That's going to be fun reading today!

@fribbledom Cool. :) Just wondering about one thing: What about people who do log in to lurk but never post? Can you track those correctly as active too? Mastodon's can't.

@fribbledom In the simple view you can see it on the right hand navigation column as well. In the tweetdeck view you wouldn't, I think.

@fribbledom Checked my .social account to make sure it's in vanilla Mastodon. It is.

@fribbledom In Mastodon's 'Follows and followers' tab, you can sort on 'Last Active' to see who of the people you follow/are followed by have posted for the last time, is this similar in idea?

@dsfgs @fedilab@toot.fedilab.app The eye icon does get used pretty often here in general to hide sensitive material, to quickly show it (and unshow it). A longpress would defeat the 'quickly' part.

@meneer Wow, da's gewoon ongefundeerd ranten daar.

@ZGoldenReport Why would they look like this within a week?

@users Whoa, okay, yeah alright, I can see the purge quite took its effect. :D

@sean Huh, if left is before and right is after, I like the redesign's art style better.

@hansw Upload unknown chars? Not sure what you mean by that. But I did switch to Sublime Text because that's got a dark background. But I've already hacked into that system and continued the storyline. ;)

@sean Currently playing Resonance. I had to peel myself away (bedtime for me now), but ye gods, that's getting so damn interesting with the storyline. Just thought I'd let you know. :P

@valleyforge Considering the political climate over there, and that people don't seem to be able to think things through lately... I think it's a little bit more important than people realize. Of course, it'd require actual funding of education, which seems to be a bit of a problem somehow worldwide.

@Demosthenes Mmmm. A shame I don't like olives. The best I could buy here is Princess sardines in tomato sauce. But for some reason they don't seem to sell them anymore, just in oil or water which isn't that tasty imo. Maybe I should visit another supermarket sometime, I do like 'em in tomato sauce.

Having a notepad window open next to this old skool adventure game. I'm trying to hack into some computer system and I don't even know why. But I have to. Oh well... *takes some more notes and continues hacking* #Games

@starwall *Idly checks...* A cat yields 16 lightleather and, let's take a cowboy hat, a hat takes 25 materials. You'd need to kill at least 2 cats for it. Lightleather doesn't have great stats there, I'd recommend against it.

@sean I think people call it 'retro' now. :P Not missing it too much, but I know exactly what you're talking about. What I actually miss is from before internet, when we had echomail networks and BBSes.
