Above all today I'd like to send a huge FUCK OFF, YOU ABSOLUTE TERF CUNT to J K Rowling.

@nprofile…q5wq I bet they've got different expressions though.

@nprofile…d6h6 Replace every instance of "developer" throughout with "translator" and you describe what's going on in my industry too. People who don't know or care what we do or how think they can replace us without the reader noticing.

@nprofile…xlhv They add up, don't they?!

Here's a question: How many different places (not addresses, actual towns/villages/cities) have you lived in?
I added mine up earlier and got 27. I feel like this is a stupidly large number, especially given that there were several addresses within many of those 27.

@nprofile…fpcl In Zoom, you can set up a meeting (for instance at 11 am on Monday) then send everyone you want to invite a link to that meeting. I get that it could be useful for some groups to be able to join meetings at any time, but that's not my use case.

2025-03-30 16:41:52

@nprofile…fpcl Well obviously that's all straightforward. But can I also schedule a call? That's the key functionality that I need. These are calls for various different groups of people at different times, never the same time/day.
(I should say that I'm currently trialling Infomaniak's service instead. I'm not averse to trying Jitsi again, but it's slipped to the bottom of the pile now.)

@nprofile…fpcl Because I'm probably the most techy of all the parties involved and I haven't a clue where to start with any of that! I need something that's straightforward for people who know how to drive the car, not for people who know how to build one.

2025-03-29 10:29:09

Working through the suggested alternatives to Zoom, starting with #Jitsi - but it appears to want me to login using Facebook (hahahahaha), Google (hahahahahahahahahahaha) or GitHub. Now, the latter I can do. But I've heard rumblings about that site too.
Why would anyone offering an alternative to Zoom suggest these as the only login methods?

I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

@nprofile…kldy @nprofile…6gnj I installed Vivaldi yesterday and could see myself using it, but I'd have to tweak how it works for a bit first. I'm learning to embrace friction in my digital existence, but I do still require some things (like a Home button! How do people manage without? Easily resolved, but some other things are more fiddly)

@nprofile…0dca Yeah, it's risky but we're that kind of team. Constantly pushing the boundaries and disrupting the world of nothingdoingness.

@nprofile…90wk I feel like we could crowdfund this and a bunch of us could agree to do nothing very hard for quite a lot less. Stretch goal - do nothing while lying down and sipping cocktails

@nprofile…lslt @nprofile…597l Great, thanks for the tip - I'm looking to migrate all of my digital life from enshittified US platforms/apps and will be sharing the info with all my translator colleagues so this is very useful

@nprofile…pye9 I live in Sweden, so I'm not sure you'll be able to send me one? Typically, living here means titles aren't covered by the same publishing rights!

@nprofile…pye9 That's recommendation enough!

@nprofile…gqlq Is there one this month? I checked a couple of days ago before buying something and it seemed to imply that the next one was in April (or could have been May, but at any rate not now).

"Look from the men to the pigs and the pigs to the men all you want – you will never spot the difference." @nprofile…qz4x just perfectly summarised 2025

2025-03-01 19:29:26

Today's "I learned this from a translation job": in Swedish preschools, they call all their teachers "fröken" (literally "Miss"), even the male ones! So in the thing I'm working on, there's a Miss Ann and a Miss Lars. I think that's wonderful!

@nprofile…cl5w Couldn't get into which one? If 7DTD I'm always happy to do a bit of multiplayer to give someone the basics.

@nprofile…cl5w That's on my list, but it takes me so long to get around to new games (all the fault of 7 Days to Die). I *am* currently focusing on Disco Elysium, though, so who knows, maybe I've escaped the zombie hordes?

@nprofile…x6rh @nprofile…qz4x I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person in the world who turned off every notification for everything, all the time! I've also recently just started using RSS (for Pluralistic, amongst others) - I've been aware of it for donkey's years, but it's never been *necessary* before. Now I don't trust any platform to show me what I want to read, I'm bypassing them altogether.

@nprofile…cl5w Anything by Lama Thubten Yeshe. He writes in a way that makes you feel like you understand and it's all so obvious - and then you stop reading and you can't remember how you ever thought you understood. Very enjoyable, and it does stick eventually!
