you know that story about the ancap who went to visit some anarchist house in greece, and they were like "wtf are you doing here" and he was like "hey i'm an anarchist!" and they were like "yay!" and then he revealed he was an ancap and they beat the shit out of him and broke his phone?

that's what i want us to do if someone tries to bring web3 here

@PsyChuan terrifying words to see on the time table as a Swedish person on the winter: Signalfel

(signal error, in other words, congratulations, you'll have to stand outside in the cold for 1-2 hours)

@terrana I think "maker" mostly exists to be on the same generic level as "inventor", except for making things instead of inventing things. There really wasn't a generic word for that before someone came up with "maker". It does also convey some level of enthusiasm as well, just like calling yourself an "inventor" - you're not necessarily doing it because you're forced to.

@Dee when I throw broken hardware into the recycling I need to start checking first if Wikipedia needs an image, because if so, I need to capture one where it is mid air, sailing towards the dumpster

@codl short film people will probably happily hire you as well, as long as you can do it on a shoe string budget, and besides, just publicizing them helps a ton

also they can just be straight up more interesting and tackle subjects no large movie would tackle, so might be more fun to work with as well

@codl go to youtube, search for "short film", and in filters select "creative commons", then you will get a ton of short films, often without any subtitles, that you can caption clips from, they should all be CC BY licensed

here's a 13 minute long one for example youtube.com/watch?v=nPgS9Vwuep

folks hello i am still trying to get my video captioning gig off the ground

if you make videos, would like them to be accurately captioned, and would prefer to pay some captions-enthusiast weirdo off the fediverse to make em, rather than one of those weird captioning sweatshops: txt me 💋

@halcy in general office has a lot of languages surprisingly, like, it has both the formal Sami dialects

scrolling through the timeline, and suddenly getting bit by a pink kobold, wow

@Kaffe lots of critters on here making cute noises and I'm here for it

@SwooshyCueb because the title is officially Final Fantasy XIV and it looks cooler

I wish I knew how you'd handle networking on something like the FFXIV lobby server, like, just holding TCP state starts using a significant amount of memory at this stage

@codl better than that one time I managed to configure outlook to only be capable of sending mail

@kat i'm at work, i have no option but to watch in horror

work talk 

higher up at work is currently presenting a feedback tool that is absolutely useless - it requires using tools none of us have any knowledge on lmao
