sort of late #introductions
I'm 20, He/Him, ace, Belgian, CS student and board member of a student organization that promotes FOSS.
I think functional programming, narrative indie games, cartoons, webcomics and noize/punk/ska music are really cool. I also think cats are amazing.
SCP-016 Accessible Scala (object class: Keter) is actually a very nice proposal about improving screen reader support for code
TIL Scala calls their RFC-thingies Scala Center Proposals or SCP for short
ok, so this ice-cream truck. I just heard it drive by again. It plays that song from snow white, somewhat out of tune. I only hear it drive by on days when it /isn't/ awfully hot. Never hear it stop to sell ice-cream ( probably because, again, it only comes by when the sun /isn't/ trying to kill me). Is this even an ice-cream truck? Maybe it's just an aesthetic-truck? Maybe it's haunted? It makes the neighbours' dog howl like the saddest wolf so I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was haunted
he cba to move to a nice dark spot to sleep. what a dork

bi.org: 6 Ways to Make Identifying as Bisexual Less Daunting:
1. You can change labels at anytime
2. You can have multiple labels
3. Your identity doesn’t disappear when in a (monogamous) relationship
4. There’s nothing limiting about the bi label
5. Throw away all the (negative) connotations associated with the bi label
6. Remember you’re not alone

We don't need another scientific study to boost acceptance of transgender people. We need transgender people to start being accepted in workplaces, in religions, and in families:

If anyone got any good resources on how to organise a hackerspace that would be cool
I should be studying for my finals rn but in a turn of events I'm in a brainstorm about organising a local hackerspace and also contemplating whether I should try out warframe again since apparently my 5 year old account still works and unlike 5 years ago I now have hardware that should run it decently

This would break the internet.
Imagine YouTube Content ID, but for everything: blog comments, tweets, Github commits, Instagram photos, replies to newspaper articles, rental listings, dating profiles.
This is being proposed in the EU. #Article13

The EU is about to update #Article13 to force sites to use YouTube-style content filters on all uploads.
This is a terrible idea:

Some MEPS are already fighting back:

but they need as many allies as possible:
Please email/call your MEP as soon as you can (as in today!), tell them that these changes are dangerous to European freedom, business and culture.
