Dear #fediverse #instance #admin

the current situation with the @guppegroups Handles is very confusing.
It drives me crazy ;)

The server "gup.pe" is now "a.gup.pe" (maybe @datatitian can confirm).

The problem is the cache of the old handles. In mastodon, people find the non-existent "gup.pe" handles before they find the correct "a.guppe" handles (`Group` `Actor`) …

Can we [after consent of the domain owner above] maybe delete the cache for the old "gup.pe" domain?

re: sex and consent 

@human_dude a relevant article that came out recently: "I’m Asexual & Partners Always Think I’ll Change My Mind About Sex"

food, possibly poision 

@pagrus that does not sound like it would result in a botulism situation, oxygen inhibits growth

Prof just stopped mid-sentence, said “you’re taller than you look” and then continued on as if nothing had happened

Miss Truth has a solid opening credits sequence but looses points for the shakycam immediately after

US politics re: abortion, actually good news for once (except disability eugenics language?) 

@stelepami my interpretation was “the state cant prevent a woman from getting an abortion unless the pregnancy has been declared viable by a qualified practicioner, and even then they cant stop her in xyz conditions” which is limited enough in circumstance that i’m not, personally, hugely worried?

In terms of eugenics concerns, women being pressured into early term abortions in terms of current prenatal tests? eg downs syndrome (when tested for) is generally found before the fetus is viable

food, sorta, I guess 

@twistylittlepassages @pagrus i’m so jealous of Japanese KitKats—it’s so hard to find flavored ones in the US and when you do they’re almost always boring (the somewhat confusingly named mocha + chocolate duo is decent as far as coffee candy goes, if you happen to spot them but. Also one of the least controversial flavor pairings for a chocolate candy possible)

There’s also an undertone where in my last paper I included some observations on how Besant uses Hinduism to give her arguments cultural legitimacy and he was like ‘you should drop everything else and focus on that’ which I did, technically, by writing a paper about how Besant consistently conflates Hindu Nationalism with Indian Nationalism and rejects all other religions as irrelevant or inherently foreign

Which is *probably* not what he meant by that lol

This is objectively a pretty good paper but ai have no idea if its what the professor is expecting from this assignment

Also it seems translators have already taken "foreignization" for a point slightly different than the one I'm trying to make here, so going to have to rethink that sentence

The number of language notes that this paper is getting....

> The PSP's web browser is - charitably - pathetic. It is slow, frequently runs out of memory, and can only open 3 tabs at a time... But the GOV.UK pages are written in simple HTML. They are designed to be lightweight and will work even on rubbish browsers. They have to. This is for everyone...
> Are you developing public services? Or a system that people might access when they're in desperate need of help? Plain HTML works. A small bit of simple CSS will make look decent. JavaScript is probably unnecessary - but can be used to progressively enhance stuff. Add alt text to images so people paying per MB can understand what the images are for (and, you know, accessibility).
