I'm a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I've had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

  • Rockstar Games fires over 30 employees, all were part of pro-union Discord group, "one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry"

  • Nah, they're saying a member of the discord group might know the other members of the discord group. That member might rat out the other members.

  • Anyone else go to Mod World?

  • (your pardon, OP, for that random-ish bit of rantishness)

    No worries! I didn't expect Mod World to get a warm response on Lemmy, ranting is reasonable and expected.

  • 1 person dead and 9 injured in shooting at Michigan church, police say

    Jump

  • The first shooting I remember was the Heath High School shooting in 1997. Things haven't been ok for a long time

  • Preppers helped fulfill their own prophecy

    Jump

  • Do you remember when rumor had it that fever reliever A made you more vulnerable to covid, so the stocks of fever reliever B were emptied?

    We did lose power for a week and that both sucked and helped inform my preparations going forward.

  • Preppers helped fulfill their own prophecy

    Jump

  • I have prepper leanings that I satisfy by knowing my neighbors, having multiple ways to start a fire, a good supply of bottled water, and enough shelf stable food for a few months. I keep enough gas in my car to get me to Canada, have an overnight bag with a change of clothes, toiletries, and my passport. I could go more into prepping, but this is where the balance lies between my anxiety (over being in multiple politically disfavoured groups) and my partner's differently flavored anxiety (over getting things we don't need.)

  • It's nice to be able to call your parents when you're bleeding out in the school atrium.

  • Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?

    Jump

  • Latest version of Anubis has a JavaScript-free verification system. It isn't as accurate, so I allow js-free visits only if the site isn't being hammered. Which, tbf, prior to Anubis no one was getting in, JS or no JS.

  • Yay! I won't edit my comment (so your comment will make sense) but I checked and they also list they/them on their github profile

  • I'll say the developer is also very responsive. They're (ambiguous 'they', not sure of pronouns) active in a libraries-fighting-bots slack channel I'm on. Libraries have been hit hard by the bots: we have hoards of tasty archives and we don't have money to throw resources at the problem.

  • Did you have the plastic babies to take home and "care for" to scare you out of teen pregnancy? They had a key that you stabbed into the back of the baby and twisted, so they would stop crying.

  • Product packaging pandering to conservative Americans

    Jump

  • The second. John 3:16 is a very popular verse in the Baptist crowd I grew up around in the 90s. I don't think it's any more a fascist dog whistle than a Jesus fish. YMMV on how christofascist that is.

    Like, I never went to church and it's ingrained in my brain from my classmates and reading bumper stickers.

  • LGBTQA+ people can be tunnel-visioned about their "flavor" of queer. I was once told by a lesbian that of course I wouldn't know about a specific Boston queer housing mailing list---I have a boyfriend.

    Never mind I'm ace, non-binary, and polyamorous [which may or may not be queer, but is at least queer adjacent]. Like, yeah. I'm not LG. I can still be BTQA+.

  • My dad grew gourdes. One of the happiest pictures I have of him late in life is him standing on the porch, surrounded by gourdes hanging to dry. I have three of his goudes. I also have one of his loufas.

  • ooh, be careful. That sounds like a public display of affection. You'd get sent up the principal's office at my high school.

    (why yes, my autistic ass took decades before I became comfortable breaking that ingrained rule, even after graduation. Thanks, Kentucky.)

  • Do not Interrupt Developers, Study Says

    Jump

  • Yep. I just don't tend to have tasks that require much state, they're all pretty easy to pick up or put down.

    I've had positions where I would get in the zone and didn't want to be interrupted, I get how that feels. It's lovely. I used to sit and rework test cases to handle updated requirements across dozens of files, back when I was in QA doing automated testing.

  • Do not Interrupt Developers, Study Says

    Jump

  • This study emphasizes to me that I'm not a dev, I'm the library's designated techie (aka a systems librarian). I do write scripts, but mostly I maintain servers, help coworkers with CSS, and figure out what obscure setting is assigning unwanted overdue book fines (under Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Physical Fulfillment > Advanced Policy Configuration, naturally).

    I enjoy interruptions because they help me prioritize my day.

  • Trump quietly abandons all-caps tirades after Newsom's trolling spree

    Jump

  • Our understanding of how words work is different and that is ok. We've clearly communicated how we each interpret the phrase, so there's no misunderstanding in this case and we are unlikely to encounter the same phrase together again in the wild.

    edit: root disagreement is that you believe the adverb "explicitly" cannot modify the verb "imply", whereas I believe it can. I doubt either of us will convince the other.
