Had to explain to another user why asking a volunteer project to fix an issue is inappropriate.
And I get that's it's a really subtle point here between saying "I also have this problem" (fine) and "Please fix this issue" (not ok)
i.e. You can only ask people you have a relationship with to do work for you. You can NOT ask strangers to labour for you for free, even if you think it's important, or appropriate.

THREAD: By now most of you have heard the news of the ICC's belated issuing of an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. But what are the consequences for countries who refuse to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister? Africans are best placed to provide answers for this hilariously😁
Short answer: nothing.
But this was merely a symbolic measure.
Among the African masses...there is the perception (accurate to be frank) that the body lacks objectivity and is politically aligned.
African observers of global political affairs are all aware of how the ICC completely sidestepped Iraq and Afghanistan. The swiftness of arrest warrants for Putin, compared to the dillydallying on warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant...well it's hardly even subtle is it?

Llevo varios días bicheando en esto del #fediverso y ando bastante asombrada de no haber sabido antes de su existencia.
A modo de #presentación decir que suelo usar las redes en modo "voyeur": busco información interesante (o simplemente pasar el rato y dejarme sorprender) y no suelo postear mucho; así que no esperéis demasiado contenido por mi parte, pero si algun que otro like (se dice así por aquí?).
Estoy empezando a aprender cositas de #python #git #pandas #sql y #data en general. Cuanto más aprendo más veo que no tengo ni idea de nada, pero me gusta leer tips&tricks y artículos (nivel principiante).
Me gusta #cocinar, pero me gusta aún más comer así que si tienes #recetas o recomendaciones de #restaurantes en #Madrid (o cualquier otra ciudad) serán más que bienvenidas.
Un saludo!

Honest question: Why do YOU think people want Mastodon's user base to get bigger? You may even be one of those people, and if so, why do YOU want Mastodon's user base to grow?
Full disclosure: I don't really want or care for Mastodon to get bigger. But I also get why some people may want larger audiences for their art, or their observations about a topic, or any number of reasons.
I'm simply curious why larger social network platform size is viewed so broadly as being good or desirable.
Because the world is an interesting place and it is often good to leave room for surprise. I don't know what I'm missing if there are people and views I can't come across because they're not here to state them.
At the same time, realistically, my TL is barely possible for me to catch up with; so it wouldn't make a very real and immediate difference to me.
I have two identical configured channels with 2 accounts on different nodes. They don't look the same. On my node f.e. i can see shared posts, on the old node only new posts and comments are shown. The base circle for both channels is "New - activity".
What additional options are there to define channels? What am i missing?
Yeah, you are right. Fixed now. Thanks!

So questions for #Blind #Edgucaters, #teachers, #school staff and anyone in the #education field as a whole.
I am a university student who originally planned to double major in computer science and elementary education, but I’ve recently faced some concerns that I’d like to address.
I’ve been told that pursuing a teaching certification might not be advisable because schools may be reluctant to hire a teacher with low vision, who is mostly blind, to manage a classroom of thirty or more students. This has been quite upsetting.
My dream was to work with elementary students, focusing on #STEM subjects and teaching technology-related topics like understanding tech, its role in the world, and the basics of programming. Now, I find myself uncertain about what path to take.
Working with kids, especially those in elementary school, is my biggest passion, even more than tech or music. It’s something that would truly fulfill me. Since I can’t have kids myself, guiding and teaching young learners is the next best thing. It’s a career I’m committed to and want to excel in.
Being advised not to pursue a teaching certification and to focus solely on computer science has been quite discouraging. I’ve been told to study elementary education as a secondary focus and combine it with my computer science studies. This might involve developing educational systems for kids, but it would likely mean limited direct interaction, possibly just during product testing, which isn’t enough for me.
So, I have a few questions:
1. Are there any educators with #Blindness or #LowVision challenges working with elementary students? If so, in what capacity do you work with them?
2. How has your disability affected your effectiveness in the field?
3. What challenges did you face in getting certified and qualified, and how did you overcome them?
4. What obstacles have you encountered in the classroom and with colleagues, and how have you addressed them?
If these questions don’t apply, what advice can you offer me in pursuing my goal of working with children? While tech is a focus, I’m open to being flexible, as long as it’s an area I’m confident in.
Finally, if teaching isn’t possible for me, what other career paths would you suggest that align with my goals?
I’d really appreciate any support
and engagement in this discussion.
Boosts welcomed and appreciated.
