Yesterday's pen only sketches from before the walk #FediArt #MastoArt #sketchbook

@device@infosec.exchange If you see someone being picked on, and you are in* a position to be noticed, you call it out. Even if you don't change the behaviour of others, that person knows that *you* have their back. Which is much better than feeling like you are completely alone. As for recruitment, where I am we do name-blind recruitment where we don't know names or ages until they accept an interview and then we make sure that interview panels are diverse, that our first questions are consistent, that everyone is aware of the criteria and that we have review meetings to make sure everyone can share opinions on interviewees. Its not perfect but no process ever will. *edit: heatwave brain can't english

I felt like drawing while sat in the sun so I found a reference pic to work from because my brain is zzz #FediArt #sketchbook

@Brett_E_Carlock@mastodon.online @NullTheFool@mastodon.gamedev.place Oh, all the old textbooks for Python (back when 2.0 was just about to arrive on the scene) made copious references to Monty Python (and usually using 'eggs' and 'spam' instead of 'foo' and 'bar') Python has matured a lot since then, I guess :D

Okay final post since someone found the OTHER site I was thinking of: micromusic.net! And finishing the trifecta of kinda obscure but fun community music sites is Song Fight! https://www.songfight.org/index.php I am delighted that all 3 sites are still going, decades later...

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk it'll be identification, sorry, age verification, just to log onto your PC if they had their way

@irene@discuss.systems @device@infosec.exchange Unfortunately that reasoning wouldn't pass where I work (also, to me, that's dangerously close to a different type of sexist thinking, however well intentioned) but FWIW when I have led recruitment or had a big say in it, I've always made sure that certain "soft" skills are in the required critera for scoring even at CV and Personal Statement stage. We get a good mix of interviewees but also it helped massively with sifting applications (between two rounds of recruitment we had to sift over 1000 applications for a total of 5 roles)

@troed@swecyb.com Thank you so much for speaking up :)

How did I find it? My brain suddenly made me think of '8bitlolz', a track in my ancient mp3 collection - so I searched for it and floppyswop came up in the results and I clicked it and it's still as wonderfully yellow as I remember.

@Brett_E_Carlock@mastodon.online You gotta start somewhere, no shame in that. I'm glad they helped you make some programs though!

@Brett_E_Carlock@mastodon.online Oh I remember the Easy Steps textbooks - they are very useful. I don't think they even print the textbook I first learned on because it's so old and outdated now!

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place All things considered this is probably a win, though a bit of a weird one. Investment money being redirected as a one-off to FOSS development, because face it, it's not really Anthropic profits that will be funding this :D

@jsstaedtler@mastodon.art Could ask the host if they've got any bot blocking features on their side that might be possible to use. They've also probably got an interest in making sure bots don't hog resources, especially on shared hosting @vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net

@NullTheFool@mastodon.gamedev.place she's perfect~

@leavt@mastodon.art Thank you 💖 @feff@sakurajima.social

@ringlov@mastodon.art Yeah it looks like it tripped over part way through the mastodon.art transfers... thanks for coming back though :D

@dona@mastodon.art jfc, I'n so sorry you have to deal with this for something you didn't even make public. I hope they reinstate your account quickly

@rez@social.ultimaterez.com Yeah the return migration from Sharkey didn't go so smoothly and only about 100 people made it back over before it errored out...

@dona@mastodon.art Ick, I really hope it doesn't take that long >.<

@dressdeveloper@mastodon.social This is awesome, and comes just in time for my annual summer sewing habit! Thank you for sharing <3

@JenJen@mastodon.art Eike hair coloured versions when?

@Juankprada Given that migration is one of the selling points about Mastodon/ActivityPub it really does seem a little overlooked at times

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place Yeah, in an ideal world it would be super easy for them to reject it, but I think we as a community also have to be a little pragmatic about the situation around funding FOSS software too. Sustainable and fair FOSS funding is a challenge not yet solved (e.g. the Automattic vs WP Engine lawsuit is one extreme outcome of this challenge not being solved). In my opinion, it would be ideal if profitable businesses donated frequently to the FOSS projects they use and build on top of without being able to use it to whitewash their reputation. i.e. it just should be a part of successful business culture to give back, but alas, that is not the climate we live in right now. So I kinda of understand the position the Blender Foundation took, even if it is not one I'd have took myself in their place, but then, I don't know exactly what pressures they are facing.

@NullTheFool@mastodon.gamedev.place Python (it's kept my day job career alive)

@wallmask3@mastodon.art @jsstaedtler@mastodon.art Eeee such a cute rendition of Ceilidhs :D

@JenJen@mastodon.art <3

@kimhu@mastodon.social Still good to see you on the timeline again :D

@kimhu@mastodon.social wb!

But I think there was still another site that was in a similar vein - I'll have to see if I can find a song I might have got from there in the library...

@nrok Song Fight is how I found out about MC Frontalot!

@praxeology YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OMG this was also the other site I was thinking of!!! Aaaah it even has all the blue I remember too! Thank you so much!!

@Turre Not it but it's good to see so many chiptune sites still going

@evilpaul_atebit Nah, it was for original chiptunes

@davidrevoy Hehe, this is only about half of the pages in the chapter! I have forgotten how much work goes into it, including my habits of moving panels and page counts to keep myself happy with the timing as I perceive it on the page.

@catileptic https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/107685/palazzo-pants-sewing-pattern-ladies-xs-xxxl-sewing-tutorial-wide-leg-pants I took a look through my usual pattern sites and this might be along the lines of what you're looking for?

@nmeth Thank you so much for checking and re-following! I appreciate it!

@Hika@mastodon.social You could consider buying white but dying it black?

@Hika@mastodon.social Fair play :chick_happy:

@jo Sadly not, but it might have archived some songs from the site I'm thinking of

@Amimoregore Not quite but I feel like it's closer to the concept of the site from decades ago :D

TrueRef.io currently has 35%(!) off the shop packs for August to celebrate it's 2nd birthday! https://trueref.io/

@alienmelon@mastodon.social this bloody sucks, I love Electric Zine Maker and still play around with it from time to time

@NullTheFool@mastodon.gamedev.place Ooooh, gorgon hair sounds fun (and I hope whatever you go for, she's got a tin of spam 😄)

@gsquirrel Ahhh that's the 8-bit collective spin off site, right?
