@th @f0x I miss riding trains so much I kind of want to build a Lego NS train now.

Here's a tutorial on how to create your own avatar in Mozilla Hubs using @blender https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCxaiaRxTL6-3pxUsfSa7lzKruGu5UEat

We're hosting an Avatar Fashion Show at #rC3 in Mozilla Hubs. No ticket required, but do mind the avatar restrictions so we can keep the event lag-free. https://hackerspace.zone/QfYsW4T

We had a #factorio birthday party last night and someone built a worm zoo, complete with parking lot. And some one (maybe same person) built a tourist train to take you to the worm zoo.

@a1batross I was waiting for it to turn around and jump right back in at the end.

@body @SeanAloysiusOBrien This isn't about written economic theory and policy -- it's about how it plays out in practice. It's about the libertarian techbro entrepreneurs in China I know loving it there because "you can do whatever you want!" While if you are Chinese you don't have freedom of movement, you don't have freedom of assembly, you don't have freedom of the press, etc. Nationalizing certain sectors is a positive -- when done within a democratic system, otherwise it's corruption.

@body @SeanAloysiusOBrien Are you implying that China is actually still communist? Have you been to China?

@SeanAloysiusOBrien @body I don’t recall BLM leaders putting ethnic minorities in concentration camps and forcibly moving them around the country to work in factories against their will as leaders in China do. DPRK leadership murders its own family members, which I haven’t heard reported of BLM leadership. This is false equivalency BS.

Well if this isn't the get-out-the-vote video for mastodon I don't know what is https://youtu.be/t3Vah8sUFgI

@phooky @cstanhope This is what I get. I don't click through when they don't offer opt outs. But yeah, owned by Verizon.

ooooh. Also it was amusing watching every cyclist skid to a halt as they noticed it.

Leaves are starting to change color here.

@ranjit Although, I do type it when adding IPA to my Dutch flashcards. Also, it's a hard letter to write, and with its backwards curl it doesn't easily flow into the next letter.

I'm late for Caturday, but here's a bodega kitten I just saw.
