Really the best visualization of this dataset so far!
I find it confusing that only even years like 2000, 2002, etc. are listed. Did you skip every 2nd year? If data for each two years is accumulated please write "2000-2001" in the key.
May a make two (edit: three) suggestions:
a) write "2000 f." for 2000–2001 like common for giving page numbers in citations.
(I just learned that "f." is for giving someone’s birthdate in Swedish 😁 )
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/f.#Adje…
b) Use "≤" or "≥" mathematical operators. As the key is most probably read from the top to the bottom maybe give the lower number year instead like
- ≥ 2023
- ≥ 2021
- ≥ 2019
- …
- < 2000
c) short form 2000/01 to 2023/24
You’re so quick! I find this better than take 4, for sure.
If you want to minimize text space I’d consider this the optimal solution.
But to be honest I think it’s a bit too technical even—for software people. it takes a moment to understand this means each color represents two years …
More than ½ h after posting my suggestions I tend to think option C (that I added to the post) might be the most common notation: just "2023/24". Don’t you think? At least Germans use that a lot.
@dboehmer for me, reading the graph part makes everything very clear. Like, the year number is just a point in time, at the transition between two years (e. g. black covers 2010-2012).
It would also be possible to work with dashes, like saying "up to 2002", though that needs a different numbering then:
- 2000
- 2002
- 2004

It's been a while since the Prototypefund [1] days and me complaining about the white icon background during 36C3 and being responsible for the pink icon background about an hour later [2]. (Which caused a steady supply of angry users after this was released as a stable version 1.5 y later.)

This adds a desaturated version of K9-Mails envelope color as the adaptive icon background color. This should look a lot better than a plain white background. Also slightly enlarge the icon shape. ...GitHub
Question for #screenreader users: do text emotes like kaomoji generally cause your tools to read out noise or annoying nonsense, or does it just not pronounce it? I am wondering whether it's okay to use them or whether I should go back to good old emoji (that, to my knowledge, get properly read out).
Like this one:
˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚
@NVAccess That's very enlightening, thank you! I suppose it's not really a solvable problem with dictionaries, because as opposed to standard smileys like colon and uppercase D - this one :D - Kaomoji are very, very varied and can be personalized.
I am wondering whether some traditional machine learning classifier could be good at detecting what is and what isn't a smiley.

Something worth reiterating: The fediverse consists of people, no algorithms here. Anything you see happens because someone took the time to interact with a post (e.g. boost) or typed out a post or a reply.
A lot of posts deserve attention, so don't be afraid to boost or favorite what you read Favoriting shows that someone out there actually read the post and liked it. Engagement is key.
Be kind and interact away!

The drawback of leaving the Fascist Bird shite is that "brands" haven't migrated.

Dear Fedi, we need your help!
On Monday, the University of Utrecht announced that they would shut down six bachelor studies, including the 'bachelor of arts' ("BA") Celtic Languages and Culture.
Current students will be able to finish their study, but from 2026 on no new students are to be accepted.
This was shocking news to receive.
We will not go down without a fight, though!
We started a petition to stop it! (see the end of the toot if you want to skip all about why it is bad to loose Celtic in Utrecht.)
The Celtic BA at Utrecht University is unique in the Netherlands, and rare worldwide. Moreover, being able to study Celtic here in the Netherlands, away from the political context you have when you study it in Ireland, for example, allows us to bring new insights, because we can see it all from a slightly different perspective, which is very valuable for the whole field of Celtic studies.
It should be no wonder then, that the department of Celtic studies at Utrecht University is internationally respected.
The Celtic department also delivers important contributions to the field of Celtic studies that are much-needed worldwide.
Therefore, it would be disastrous to lose this beautiful and culturally important bachelor, that celebrated its centenerary just last year!
Hence, I emplore you all to sign this petition to save Celtic!
chng.it/tBwmVpYqMF
It is also possible to write a letter or email wherein you write why it is so important to keep the Celtic bachelor, to the Rector Magnificus of Utrecht University, who has to vote together with the 'rectores' of all other Dutch universities about the dissolution of the Celtic bachelor.
If you decide to write a letter or email, the staff of the Celtic department would love to receive a copy.
Written letters can be directed to:
Professor dr. Henk Kummeling
Universiteit Utrecht
Bestuursgebouw
Heidelberglaan 8
3584 CS Utrecht
The Netherlands
Emails can be directed to:

You can send the Celtic staff a copy by:
Adding their email address in the BCC, or emailing a scan of your letter:

Alternatively, you can send a physical copy to @drnike, Aaron Griffith, or Natalia Petrovskaia, at

flat this morning, replace it with the spare tyre, and since I already put the supermarket bags in the car I start thinking of the route - whether to go to the store first or the tyre shop first - so I forget to make sure I have the fucking security lock nut with me - and so I eventually arrive to the tyre shop and discover I don't have it.
So I go back home, park the car, retrace my steps to see if the nut is somewhere on the street, but of course it is a lost cause. So I unload the groceries and have a quick lunch and in a few minutes I'll go to the tyre shop again and tell them to please break the goddamned security bolts and replace them because I'm that doofus that lost the nut.
Also, fuck cars.
