I think it's really cool that Black American Sign Language is in some ways more conservative than the kind of #ASL you learn at Gallaudet University.

Other ASL varieties use a lot of handshapes influenced by English spelling. But black ASL has kept more of the original handshapes, because black #deaf schools didn't get hit so hard by the oralist reformers who made war on ASL.

You can see BASL in action at csdhh.org/black-asl

If you'd like to see how ASL has changed over time, here's an excerpt from "The Preservation of Sign Language", a historic speech given in 1913 by George W. Veditz, the president of the National Association of the Deaf president in response to the oralist movement.

@libreoffice

Hey, folks.

I love using Libre Office and have been for years. I write all my books with it. I believe you're leagues better than the MS version.

So why, oh why has Writer lost the ability to remember the last cursor position?

It's beyond annoying, especially when editing a 250 page document. This is one of the most important functions, to be able to continue where you stopped - why is it even broken?

Why has it been broken for so long?

Earlier today or yesterday, depending on which time zone you live in, @onj posted a cool video about 13/8 meter and the songs that use it. I thought I pretty much knew all of Bobby McFerrin’s stuff, but somehow this song, mentioned in that video, totally passed me by. I am so happy I discovered it!

stormdragon2976 pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Experimental fix for systems in other languages. Export LANG to en_US.UTF-8 temporarily during installation of games. This needs testing, especially if your computer is normally in a different language.

I just realized I completely forgot to let the Mastodon-verse know about my new single “Jazz Fun” featuring @onj on the Rhodes and Jason Castingway on the piano, among others.
I took care of most of the guitar work! :)
It all started with a simple loop played on a strangely-strung acoustic guitar and turned into this: open.spotify.com/album/50xQacd…

Twitter goes down worldwide just minutes after launching expanded tweet counts

Twitter goes down worldwide just minutes after launching expanded tweet counts [U: Fixed] - 9to5Mac

Shortly after Twitter launched its huge increase in max character count to 4,000 today, many users aren’t able to tweet this afternoon. It’s unclear for now if the two are related but the timing comes right after a notable spike in long tweets.

New W3C Community Group proposed for Service Discovery on the Web: w3.org/community/blog/2023/02/…

The intention is to expose DNS SRV records and mDNS along with other mechanisms (like .well-known) to web apps via a unified API.

This will allow things like WebMail clients to find mail servers based on email address or a @matrix client to find a homeserver based on a MatrixID. It can also allow web apps to find devices on local networks.

If you're interested, please support and join the CG!

thinking about this particular line from @slightlyoff:

> They also worked behind the scenes to marginalise those who pointed out the disturbing results and extraordinary costs.

when i publicly said that the implementation of server components feels like bullshit, someone from the react team dm'd me and made me feel bad, to the point that i wanted to delete the tweet

now I'm wondering how many other people this has happened to
