What's a skill you'd like to develop? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I wouldn't exactly say i'm good at it, but i'm pretty stubborn and keep trying. But i've actually memorized 5 writing systems, so at least i'm good at one thing :)

For latin, i can't remember actually. I just like how i can read old texts.

For ukrainian, i wanted to learn a slavic language; i was going with russian first, but ukrainian has more in relation with other slavic languages so it'd be easier to learn it, in case i ever wanted to learn another slavic language.

I'm also learning esperanto/hebrew very casually, since for esperanto i love the grammar system, and hebrew is very related to arabic so i understand a lot of it.

Better programming skills. I've been programming for years, i just suck :D Today, i submitted my first proper PR to an FOSS project (https://codeberg.org/lemshare/lemshare/pulls/4) and i just wrote my first matrix bot for a room for instance admins. It converts all links to use lemmyverse.link, as a convenience.

I have no idea if they like it or not, but i'm personally proud of what i did. The code for both is pretty hacky.

Besides that? Learning latin and ukrainian :)

Hehe :) you probably weren't. Everybody knows MLs admins are fucking obnoxious, so nobody really listens to them.

It’s not great for the regular 9-to-5

No pain no gain. This'd boost my efficiency by 50%.

No shade to them, but i think we're seeing this from different viewpoints; i see this from a personal preference standpoint, and they see this from some moderation stance, which was not the point at all. This isn't meant to replace defederations.

Interstellar ([email protected]) has added Piefed support!

How do i try?

Install interstellar from the play store/F-droid, and create an account on https://preferred.social/ (only instance with the API enabled, get join code from invite). Then, login from interstellar and you're done!

What's next?

Well, andrew is working on porting thunder to piefed (the main dev of it is interested in it) Admiral patrick said he might port tesseract to piefed, once the API is stable, and ae_harding said he may add it after lemmy 1.0.

Thank you @andrew_[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected] for working tirelessly to implement this :D

Kurds in Iraq and Syria celebrate the Newroz festival of spring at a time of new political horizons (apnews.com)
 

Kurds in Iraq and Syria this week marked the Newroz festival, a traditional celebration of spring and renewal, at a time when many are hoping that a new political beginning is on the horizon.

Newroz, the Farsi-language word for “new year,” is an ancient Persian festival that is celebrated in countries including Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran. It is characterized by colorful street festivals and torch-bearing processions winding their way into the mountains.

For many, Thursday and Friday’s Newroz festivities symbolized not only the arrival of spring but also the spirit and aspirations of the Kurdish people, who are now facing a moment of transformation in the region.

Sudan army says it has control of presidential palace in Khartoum (www.reuters.com)

The Sudanese army seized full control of the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum on Friday, it said in a statement, in what would be a major gain in a two-year-old conflict with a rival armed group that has threatened to partition the country.

The RSF has consolidated control in the west, hardening battle lines and moving Sudan towards de facto partition. The RSF is setting up a parallel government in areas it controls, although that is not expected to secure widespread international recognition.

The RSF said on Friday, hours after the army statement, that it remained in the vicinity of the palace, and that it had launched an attack that had killed dozens of army soldiers inside.

I noticed it was the anniversary of the Iraq War (march 20) So i decided to post this in remembrance of all dead. I'm not sure to mark as NSFW or not, or if this post belongs. I will understand removal

Note: This uses github sponsors, which is a microsoft owned middleman as @[email protected] mentioned. I heavily recommend https://liberapay.com/ as an alternative. The idea of the project is solid, though

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/27040265

I personally think this is a good idea. FOSS is amazing but it needs some funding in reality. What are your thoughts?
