Hello to all newcomers! I see everyone is doing #introductions again — mind if I join?
I am a 28-year old cishet guy living in #Milan, #Italy. I graduated in #math and ended up doing #programming for a living. I discovered Mastodon though #metafilter almost a year ago.
Some of the stuff I'm interested in: #photography, #travel, #flânerie, #geocaching, #publictransport, #cinema (especially the oldies), #reading (mostly nonfiction), #podcasts, #selftracking, #geography, #linguistics, #typography
Good morning people. Have a nice Sunday ☀️
The European Union is attempting to pass a new copyright regulation that will instead destroy the internet.
Article 13 requires all sites to host non-free copyright tracking bots, which will make heaps more harm than good.

If any of you is an #iCheckMovies user, be aware that it's time to vote for the new official movie lists: https://www.icheckmovies.com/blog/polls+for+new+official+lists/
Two of the candidates have been added to the site by yours truly, but they're not my favourite ones – I'm rooting for the ones about Black and female directors, which would be a much needed addition to the official roster.
As someone who has to clean his glasses very often, I am quite pleased with my choice to buy, like, 20 wiping cloths at once and putting one in every coat, rucksack, piece of luggage and desk organizer I use
Me telling twitter engineers about the fact that sex workers used their platform & now can’t
One of them had heard of FOSTA/SESTA through a podcast; the other had no idea that sex workers used twitter. Both have now followed sex workers to hear their voices
I consider this good
It's also the site of a good Google Maps glitch: it mapped mid-demolition photographs onto a pre-demolition building shape and labeled it with post-demolition business names
Today I’m thankful for being able to work from home, because I’ve never had such a strong backache 😣
can anyone tell me a place to buy pride (especially trans) flags where as much money as possible goes to trans people?
(i'm pretty sure someone posted about this but i can't find it)

A question to all #linguistics enthusiasts in the fediverse.
The picture shows one of artist Abdullah Al Saadi's Diaries, exhibited at the 2017 Venice Biennale of Art. He was born and lives in the UAE.
My question is: What language is it written in? Most of his diaries are in Arabic, but this does not look like it. It's written from right to left, so it's not Ethiopic or Tifinagh either. Any clues?

Happy Wednesday, gorgeous fediversians.
Anger is a tricky thing. Sometimes it's useful. You feel it for a reason, so you should always pay attention, but it may not be for the reason you think.
Keep your boundaries firm, but be slow to anger. If you feel that heat rising, get into the habit of taking a step back to measure it before reacting.
You'd be surprised what you can discover about yourself by exercising a little self reflection in the moment.
