Things Your Spanish Teacher Didn't Tell You
mackenzie.morgan.name/posts/th…

@videsnelson is teaching a friend of his Spanish. He's a native speaker, not a language teacher.

I had 9 years of Spanish classes & 5 years of self-study, and I found answers to plenty of things my past teachers under-explained or explained in ways that caused predictable mistakes.

I started telling him what to tell her, so she could skip those frustrations.

The result is this blog post.

Want to help out with development of Toot!? I have been doing some large internal rewriting, and probably introduced some exciting new bugs in the process, so I thought it might be best to do a public beta for this version to shake them out a bit before release.

The link to join the beta is here: testflight.apple.com/join/x0Mb…

Only join if you are happy to deal with some bugs! Or, if you want a free trial of Toot! and don’t mind a potential bug or two.

Really enjoying elk.zone/ as my main desktop Mastodon client at the moment - it feels like a spiritual successor to pinafore.social/

It's a fast loading, well built SPA application (using Vue - Pinafore used Svelte) which works entirely using the Mastodon JSON API (via CORS requests)

Code here: github.com/elk-zone/elk

It's fun watching what it's doing via browser DevTools - a really neat way to familiarize yourself with how the Mastodon API actually works

let floor = Floor::default();<br>let mut bowl = Bowl::new();<br>let mut cat = Cat::mew();<br><br>bowl.place_on(&floor);<br>cat.sit_on(&bowl);<br><br>let floor: &mut Floor = unsafe {<br>    &mut *(&floor as *const Floor as *mut Floor)<br>};<br><br>floor.lower_by(50 * CM);<br>

Levitation needs some unsafe code, but not around the cat, cats don't take fall damage.

Not all cats have the gift of levitation.
Those that do, however, do like to flaunt it.

I think any reasonable reading of the evidence tells you that the entire planet needs to shovel a few more points of GDP into the health-care sector. Because, um, what is more important?

Yeah, that implies higher taxes. Or slashing spending on something else, for example the military.

Trans people on HRT change their biological sex, not just their gender. Chromosomes are supposed to tell your body which hormones to produce, but sometimes they mess up even in cis people! HRT changes your biological sex at the actual source. It affects everything from secondary sex characteristics to muscle/fat ratios and even your disease risk profile. Trans people on HRT undergo puberty to become their intended biological sex. Yeah science! genderdysphoria.fyi/en/hormone…
in reply to Danielle Foré

Wanna also note here that changing your gender without changing your sex is totally valid and so is changing your sex without changing your gender. People deserve to have bodies that make them comfortable and be gendered in society in a way that reflects their internal identity. We should learn to not only respect others but celebrate the awesome diversity that makes us all human!

Today's update to the Seeing AI app for iOS brings Indoor Navigation. This feature lets you create and follow paths within a building using audio guidance. For example, you can make routes from the reception to your office or from the building entrance to a classroom, and share them with others to be used on their own device. Try it now on Apple App Store and let us know your experience: apps.apple.com/us/app/seeing-a…

On a personal note, as the person running this account, it's especially awesome to see #Audacity on the list -- that was my first introduction to #FOSS in 2001.

Gateway software is important 😉
