I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Sorry, I’m not a regular poster so I don’t know how to make a FOSS version of a YouTube link.

    IMO, just drop the canonical YT link and let people handle it themselves (some Lemmy frontends will rewrite them to Piped/Invidious based on preference, some use browser plugins to redirect them, there’s an annoying bot that auto replies with Piped links, etc).

    I’ve always found it annoying to have to deal with links to some random Piped/Invidious instances that are overloaded, slow, unreliable, and/or halfway around the world from where I am. A direct YT link is much easier to automatically re-write to use my local/preferred Invidious instance than having to know about every possible Invidious/Piped instance in the wild in order to detect them.




  • Same. I’ve only had fast food once since 2020, and the experience was like yours: gross and expensive.

    Before I went WFH, I ate FF pretty regularly. Mostly because it was, well, fast and offered a variety (there’s at least 8 or 9 places within walking distance of my office).

    My job only gives a half hour for lunch. I used to pack a lunch, but that gets tedious after a while and takes extra time out of my morning to prepare. Then if I want to heat it up, there’s always a line to use the microwaves or to get to the refrigerator in the break room. By the time my packed lunch is prepared, I’ve got just enough time to wolf it down and head back to my desk.

    Going out for FF at least let me take a walk, get some fresh air, and gave me a variety over the handful of things (or leftovers) I would pack from home.

    If I ever have to RTO, that’s the aspect I’d be most upset about.



  • Someone posted a ASL SLAM poetry video yesterday, and it might give some hints. This isn’t an authoritative answer, just something off-the-cuff.

    When ASL is translated into English for poetry, 95% of the time it’s lost in translation. That’s why I ask the interpreters not to translate the poems. You have rhyme in the English poetry and patterns of verbal repetition. ASL is more about the movement, a visual rhyme versus an auditory rhyme.

    Granted, that’s referring to ASL-native poetry versus English poetry translated to ASL. But, from that, it would seem that no, rhymes don’t make a lot of sense in the same way they do for spoken poetry assuming the person has no auditory reference for the sound of words.
