here's (apparently) the most well-known asl translation of jabberwocky, btw and it is AMAZING http://videocatalog.gallaudet.edu/?embed=6518 and an essay about it https://web.archive.org/web/20160922040138/http://www.formsofcouncil.org/en/inquiries/30_tacet/784_space_time_and_gesture which points out that "[a]s deaf education grew in 17th and 18th century Europe, the rational structure of the spoken and written word supplanted gestural expressions [...] such developments were not limited to sign languages, as numerous bourgeois societies developed taboos against excessive gesturing during speech"

@xuv @yannick I agree with your point of view. I have respect for the efforts of the creator of pixelfed, but would like to see a better alternative than just a copy. Or even better: brand new ways of decentralized social media build in a webpage everybody can publish on a basic server. I want to focus all my attention on my own webspace without the need to sign on yet another platform. One self-owned account to connect, share and communicate.

"Capitalism's growth imperative stands radically at odds with ecology's imperative of interdependence and limit. These two imperatives can no longer co-exist with each other. Either we establish an ecological society, or society will go under for everyone."

-Ursula le Guin

Everyone of @guppegroups , Hello.

Everyone of guppe, Hello. I made a pull-request to the master of Mastodon for basic response to group actors.
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/12071

This will display the Group badge and suppress group boost notifications.

Also, because the group follower is added to the delivery destination, you can deliver with Create-Note instead of Announce.

Tell us about any interesting stories about the group. Thank you!

A #mastodon exclusive! You are invited to play on a *REAL* PDP-8/e running the TSS/8 monitor (TimeSharing System 8) pictured here. There is a user contributed tutorial here:

https://wiki.livingcomputers.org/doku.php?id=tss_8

To connect, ssh tss8@tty.livingcomputers.org

If you are unable to connect that means all 6 (yes, just 6) lines are in use. Remember, this is real hardware and there is NO EMULATION happening. It is the real deal! Enjoy!
