Female-named hurricanes kill more than male hurricanes because people don’t respect them, study finds
– '...To test the hypothesis the gender of the storm names impacts people’s judgments about a storm, the researchers set up 6 experiments presenting a series of questions to between 100 to 346 people. The sexism showed up again.
Respondents predicted male hurricanes to be more intense the female hurricanes in one exercise. In another exercise, the hurricane sex affected how respondents said they would prepare for a hurricane.
“People imagining a ‘female’ hurricane were not as willing to seek shelter,” Shavitt said. “The stereotypes that underlie these judgments are subtle and not necessarily hostile toward women – they may involve viewing women as warmer and less aggressive than men.”...'
I've started tracking development progress on my 2D RTS game. I've been working on it for about a year. It's largely written from scratch and making pretty good progress. Check it out!

STARTUP IDEA:
Gitcoin.
A distributed trustless proof-of-slack version-controlled currency where to gain credit you must create, and then abandon, an open source software project that ALMOST - but not entirely, and not well - solves a real world problem.

Want to make a huge contribution to Mastodon adoption?
Create and maintain a Debian package for Mastodon. If you know anyone fluent in making and maintaining Debian packages, please share this with them. Let’s reduce the complexity of installing Mastodon on Debian-based distributions (e.g., Ubuntu) down to running a single command and watch the instance numbers shoot up! :)

the 3 stages of me discovering a new tech:
- anti-hype: ew it's new must be bad
- engagement: oh so actually cool I'll use it for everything
- desillusion: ew I'm disappointed I was right it's shit
- acceptance: oh it's actually good when used properly

Images on #Octodon seem broken :(
Trying to switch awesomewm to luajit and not breaking everything
Ooph! Seemed like #Octoron was down for a few hours :/
I have to say I am incredibly impressed with the character design of "Wonder Girl" in the dragons trap!
The playable female character looks distinctly different and feminine without using any gender stereotypes or sexualisation. It's subtle things and she doesn't look any less badass than her male counterpart.
Definately looking forward to playing it! Now please make a linux version :P
Also that moment when you realise that you have no idea what you're doing with networking code 😂
That moment when politics in the US explodes again and birdsite because utterly depressing again
Is it just me or does the "Home" column not really update sometimes? I have to re-load the page to get new updates from people I follow :/
I write absolutely lovely comments, don't I? :)
One idea for Mastodon: Allow users to tag themselves, i.e. a "bot" tag for automated accounts. Would make the local and federalized timeline way more useful if one could filter to ones needs.
