agrammatic

The KDE Itinerary's platform layout maps are a good sell. I'll try it next to DB Navigator on my next trip. KDE Apps on Android are a bit unstable, at least on my phone, but at least now they load. Last time I tried I could barely get them to even do that.

Homophobia was so widespread in the ambient environment for my entire life, so it's not easy to say. The earliest incident that I specifically remember which fits the textbook definition was during a high-school Physics class, were a teacher known to go on about her personal views on anything all the time once, and one day homophobia was on the menu.

The reason it didn't stink as much as other incidents was that a group of kids that recently found out I was gay immediately started challenging her (with very naive arguments, but their heart was in the right place).

It has been 1 days since the last time Rutte's government collapsed.

Primarily I am looking for small class size, in person interactions between undergrad and professors.

This is something that the western European model of having no upper yearly intake limit makes really hard. Even at a masters level it's quite hard to get a decent degree of interaction between students and professors.

Why not just hop on twitter and search #seattlepride ? There’s probably (maybe?) tons of businesses who partook in that circus and hashtagged all about it…

I didn't have any reason to think that that city's pride month is particularly relevant to my question to go search it in advance.

Besides making people feel recognized and accepted, what do you think corporations should be spending their money on that would make potential customers feel better about themselves?

Before I asked my question, I was thinking if two things:

1. Companies, where relevant, can let us know what policies they enacted that make them stand out. E.g. maybe they are an employer that will give parental leave even to families not recognised by the law in that jurisdiction, or that they just finished an internal project that saw or their internal and external documents to stop collecting gender information where it's not justified and where it is justified, that they do it in an inclusive way.

2. They do something to mitigate anti-queer hatred in their area of operations that has an action plan backing it up. For example, where I live, there's this Emergency Entrance programme where companies can enrol and display a sticker identifying them as refuges for people targeted by right-wing extremists. It looks like just marketing too, but it actually comes with an action plan that those participating are supposed to implement which adds a more tangible layer to the display of symbols to show support. (EDIT: The idea is, if you are being harassed or attacked, participating venues will offer you shelter, they will jump in to de-escalate, and contact emergency services and the right-wing violence registry to handle the incident)

While I don't necessarily agree with this ECI, keep in mind that Germany's decentralisation is the exception in Europe, rather than the norm. In most other countries the population is concentrated in a few cities only.

Of course, why would you want to incentivize and reward that centralisation by making the capitals even more appealing by focusing HSR expansion there? That's another question.

Die besten 10 Euro, die ich bezahlen habe, ist mein Stadtbibliothek-Jahresabo. Teil des Angebots is Zugriff auf Overdrive/Libby.

Und manchmal kommt auch die gute alte Library Genesis zu Hilfe.

What I have to give to XMPP is that it's one of the easiest federated services to self-host. Running Prosody is super simple.

Ich bin damit einverstanden ;)

My question is this. What could your manager do to better support you at work?

This one is something that my manager thankfully understands and is very supportive of: many of us, because our sexuality and/or gender identity were not accepted growing up, became adults who need to come to terms with stuff through regular therapy sessions.

This means: flexible options to take time off and attend such appointments, even on a weekly basis. Ideally, you understand that what is more valuable to the company is me doing my job (rather than clocking a certain number of hours) and for that my good mental health is a productivity boost and so you don't even ask me to make up the time.

Second best is that you allow me to flexibly make up for that time later during the week.

Another thing that would be nice, especially in the context of tech, is that any queer group in the company is not just there either for networking (which is fine) or for being used for promotional material exploitation (which isn't fine), but you also make us part of product design when relevant.

Das ist sinnvoll. Hoffentlich kommt bald eine griechische Instanz online.

Erlaubt sind Communities in deutscher und englischer Sprache, da wir andere Sprachen nicht moderieren können.

Okay, Frage: Ich will eine Community für Lernende der griechischen Sprache erstellen. Nach /r/germany war /r/greek mein meistgenutztes Subreddit. Geht das überhaupt?

In Sprachlern-Communities ist Englisch meist die Metalanguage, weil die Lernenden oft keine weitere gemeinsame Sprache haben. Doch natürlich wird vieles direkt auf Griechisch sein. So weit ich weiß, ich bin die einzige Person auf dieser Instanz, die es spricht. Das ist für die Moderation problematisch.

Feddit.de ist nicht das "natürliche" Zuhause für eine solche Community, aber zufällig bin ich hier, deshalb die Frage.
