Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • We should be eating more salads this winter

    Jump

  • Thanks for posting this :)

    I can't get to the store very often for medical reasons so I'd been looking for ways to eat more fresh veg that dont go bad immediately. I'll have to check out some of the recipes mentioned

  • We should be eating more salads this winter

    Jump

  • I do like their idea of salads that dont just use delicate leafy stuff. Does feel like an odd subject to write a whole article about though, but no reason not to of you're an article writer I suppose lol

    I have limited ability to get to the store regularly so more salads with ingredients that dont go bad immediately would be really nice, I'll have to check out some of the recipes they mention

  • Open Source | Gamified Language Learning (Chinese Mandarin) | Web-App | No Sign-up Required

    Jump

  • This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)

    It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I'm not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved

    Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you're hoping to build with more people?

  • 50501 is a great way to get connected! They have a discord server for NC (https://discord.gg/62cWYvwgs) with channels where folks will discuss other projects for a local area, it can be a great entry point! For folks seeing this it might be worth seeing if they have a server for your state also!

    Don't compete with other organizations, unite and collaborate.

    Excellent words of wisdom. It will take working together.

    I'm sorry to hear y'all have faced harassment, I imagine it varries by where you are. I'm fortunate enough to live somewhere pretty progressive despite being in a red state. Sending love my friend, thank you for your efforts!

  • This country taxes menstrual pads as luxury goods. She's aiming to end the tax

    Jump

  • they ask their daughters to pretend to pray so that the men in the family, especially the husband or the brothers of that child, won't know that she is of fertile age now. Because as soon as they know that the girl has started menstruating, they're going to pull her out of the school, if she goes there, and they're going to marry her off to a man double or thrice her age. And that is something we have seen so often. It just breaks my heart. Mothers are usually very helpless in these situations. The link to child marriage contributes to the secrecy around periods and makes it an extremely isolating experience.

    As a guy I hadn't really made that connection to how menstruation would become so stigmatized. Thats gutwrenching...

  • I'm still trying to figure out how to get more involved myself. I have some connection to local organizing, but am trying to figure out how to get more involved when a sleep disorder has me asleep durring the day- if anyone has thoughts or suggestions for me I'd welcome them :)..Something thats been on my mind lately that might be a helpful idea for others is linking up with friends and being poll observers or volunteering as poll workers. There's a lot pointing to the polls potentially being a dangerous place to go this election cycle (the MEGA act, and talk of deploying ice to polling locations), folks being there may be an important way to protect your community

  • Knocker-up (people employed before alarm clocks to wake people up for work)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I have a circadian rhythm disorder and my first thought was "oh, somrthing I might actually be able to do!". But then again I also have ADHD and no internal sense of time so it'd be hard to show up at the right time 😅

  • Screen auto-rotate broken on Gnome | Solved

    Jump

  • Glad you got it working!

  • Republican Party efforts to disrupt voting after the 2024 United States presidential election

    Jump

  • If you're not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that. Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you, go to protests and ask around, try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts, figure out whos organizing ice watch in your area and do their training

    Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing where YOU are. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start getting connected.

  • Best retro-styled/Frutiger Aero/Y2K/Aqua clients?

    Jump

  • If you're knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero's aesthetic, you'd probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn't neccisarily expect it to be easy

    Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people's CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn't exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

    As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

  • I didn't mean for everything, I meant if crypto could ever fix its shit it could be a useful tool for folks affected by the issues with payment processors

    But it would have to be stable in value, not suck for making transactions, and not be wildly wasteful

  • The likelihood that you get any kind of meaningful arc from puncturing a speaker is almost none, theyre not gonna drive those speakers with high voltage. Especially improbable since you're likely just destroying the speaker diaphragm, so an arc may not even be feasible from the type of damage done.

    When myth busters tested whether cell phones, and then arcing (like from static discharge) would blow you up at the gas station, they had to use a large continuous arc from a neon sign transformer (extremely high voltage) and a sealed box full of the ideal fuel to air ratio of gasoline vapors to get an explosion.

    Puncturing a speaker isnt unlikely to ever have to have either of those things. You're unlikely to get an arc, and there should be like a zero percent chance of a meaningful build up of fuel vapors in an open air setting where the vapors have to make out of the narrow choke of the fuel tank opening, where the nozzle and its rubber splash guard thing are blocking its route, and all the way to where the speaker is

    Do you by any chance have any experience working with electricity to back up your concerns?

  • Does anyone know I'd proof of stake ended up being better than proof of work? I dont follow crypto but kept hearing that was supposed to improve things

    Crypto is a big deal because it enables grifting and crime, but with how shit payment processors are and their tendency to use their position for censorship, crypto actually would be a potential way of solving that problem IF it werent ludicrously volatile and wasteful. But I have no idea if those problems could really ever be solved, or any progress has been made on those fronts

  • How Black cartographers put racism on the map of America

    Jump

  • Thats map is an incredible peice of history, great post. I'd be curious to see a more modern map made, since lynchings continued for a long time after then

  • I'm sure your patients appreciate you, and I appreciate the reminder to be real, as I adjust to a new therapist after a long period of not having one :)

  • Texas A&M University cancels programs in women's and gender studies

    Jump

  • Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.

    We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.

    But if you say the word "patriarchy", men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.

    If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.

    Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men's issues in addition to women's, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women's issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.
