@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Not anymore… when they issue a card, they do send all your info to the payment processor. I chose NBC at random… see section 3.2 of the privacy policy: https://www.nbc.ca/privacy-policy.html#how-use-share-your-information-with-whom

If all of you all (you know who you are) currently exploring #NetBSD (for, uh, reasons*) would donate a little bit of money to the NetBSD Foundation, I am sure that sad little gauge under the logo would look a lot better. https://www.netbsd.org/donations/#how-to-donate Because right now, it stands at about 12K out of a goal of 50K and it makes me sad. 😔 Donate! 💶 💵 💷 (* good reasons, I might add) :netbsd:

Dziwnym paradoksem mojego życia jest to, że częściej utożsamiam się z postaciami nie białymi niż z białymi... Po prostu częściej mi się to zdarzało przy postaciach, które w definicji nie powinny mieć ze mną mieć nic wspólnego, ale mimo to częściej się z nimi utożsamiam niż z białymi odpowiednikami... Choć nie wiem, czy istnieje nazwa na takie zjawisko jak tu... #Bruh #Animation #Animacja #How

Coś jest rozwalającego w tym, że Hitler umiał zniszczyć jedno imię "Adolf", ale inni tego nie dokonali, halo, wątpię, że nawet natayachu spowoduje, że imię Benjamin zacznie być postrzegane jak imię Adolf... Coś jest specyficznego, że nie dość, że doprowadził do złego skojarzenia z wąsem (Który był wtedy modny), to jeszcze doprowadził do tego, że imię jest nadal traktowane z odrazą #Paradox #History #Names #BenyaminNatayachu #How

@sophiajanehayden_author@indieauthors.social I nearly always include a prologue, but I mix up the ways it works to keep things fresh. I’ve used one to introduce the character to the reader, to introduce some information the protagonist isn’t aware of, started off one book from the perspective of a character who’s more of a bystander than a participant and, in one book, thrown my protagonist straight into the action, in medias res, as it were. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #How to Succeed… #Author #Novel

On this day, in 1536 – Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, had the book thrown at her. She was arrested and imprisoned on charges of adultery, incest, treason and witchcraft. From a writer’s perspective I believe most commentators have missed one important fact. Recently historians were said to have found a hidden detail in one of her portraits which was a rebuttal of the charges of witchcraft. This centres on the allegation that she’d been polydactylic (from Greek polys, many, and daktylos, finger), meaning having an extra digit, implying she was involved in witchcraft. All in all though, it’s probably worth mentioning how unlikely it was that Henry would have married her in the first place if she’d really been in possession of a superfluous pinkie… Bleedin’ obvious when you think about it! #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #How to Succeed… #Author #Novel

Happy Beltane, everybody. Today is the third festival celebrated by neopagans and other like-minded people during the Wheel of the Year. Here’re a couple of fun facts you might not be familiar with: Often regarded as a fire festival, people attending walk around or between bonfires and sometimes leap over the flames or embers. At this time, household fires are doused and then relit from the Beltane bonfire. The aos sí (often referred to as spirits or fairies) are thought to be especially active at Beltane and the goal of many Beltane rituals is their appeasement. Many scholars see the aos sí as remnants of the pagan gods and nature spirits of times gone by. At dawn or before sunrise on Beltane, maidens would roll in the dew or wash their faces with it, as morning dew was thought to bring good luck and health. It’s also thought that a man who washed his face with soap and water on Beltane will grow long whiskers on his face. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #How to Succeed… #Author #Novel

Guess who found out the hard way Merlin quietly changed the app to automatically delete your recordings by default 😩 Merlin does not automatically save every recording you make. When you’re finished recording a bird, hit the red stop button at the bottom of the screen to stop recording. If you’d like to save the recording to review later, tap the “Save” button at the top of the screen, and the recording will be saved in “Sound ID Sessions”.

@bengo@mastodon.social @strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz @benpate@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl That's the pathway to solutions. Dare to dream. Have personal dreams and know how they relate to others. Dare to play. Actually do share dreams with others, and try to relate them. Cross-pollinate ideas to find actionable steps towards dream realization. Make things more than the sum of their parts, 2 + 2 = 5 cents. https://coding.social/blog/shared-ownership/#how-do-we-ignite-the-commons Rinse, repeat, scale, sustain. And emergent potential balloons exponentially. It is clear to see that a united commons will set the dragon roaring, revealing itself, breathing golden fire of progress. Technology paternalism, I think, is more general phenomenon of the blinders we all wear in modern society. Dogma's and biases deeply engrained in ourself, part of everday life. It forces us all in like straitjacket roles, to be experts in narrow fields. Best we can do, yet unnatural, artificial wrong breakdown, top-down again. Holistic grassroots evolution and natural sustainable growth, is the path.

@takto@fe.disroot.org @lnsartwrk@organica.social Fiquei em dúvida. Eles receberam fundos vindos dos EUA recentemente, mas o envolvimento europeu parece mais antigo e maior 🤔 “We rather use public funding sources, so far from EU and US origins, to help our efforts in instigating a decentralized and diverse chat messaging eco-system based on Free and Open-Source community developments.” https://delta.chat/en/help#how-are-delta-chat-developments-funded
