Hannah Beachler compiled a 515-page "bible" for Wakanda, complete with all the designs and imagined histories for its landscapes and structures.

Now, she's the first African-American ever nominated for an Oscar in production design.

> Microsoft workers are calling on the giant tech company to cancel its nearly $480 million U.S. Army contract, saying the deal has "crossed the line" into weapons development by Microsoft for the first time. They say the use of the company's HoloLens augmented reality technology under the contract "is designed to help people kill."

idea: ability to add a content warning to a boost.

I know you can make a new toot with a link to the old one and put a CW on that but maybe the interface could take out those manual steps?

Would be neat to be able to add CW to boosts and captions to images in boosts.

I guess this is basically adding quote tweet functionality to mastodon which probably has some good reasons for not being around? hmmm....

With flailing uptake, increasing numbers of users taking up use of #manjaro and the #debian based OS #ubuntu instead, and popularity of #Microsoft #windows10 soaring among lay users, has the commonly seen to be 'elitist' #archlinux had its day? Are there #ethics concerns in its decline? What about among #women? #arch #linux

Why did it literally take centuries for scientists to identify locusts and grasshoppers as the same creatures? It could have something to do with our own sense of self.

I'm not entirely convinced the Lettrists/Situationists aren't just Guy Debord's drinking games that got out of hand

Q: What do you call 8 hobbits?

Have you added any changes to your server's #MastoFork?

Is it a feature you think we may be interested in for #Florence?

Feel free to drop a link and message on this issue. And we'll have a look! Small changes are as welcome as big ones.

Is there a Zamboni Simulator series of games? There should be. I can see the attraction of keeping an ice rink perfectly smoothed. You could have various kinds of damage to the ice surface - recreational skating, professional hockey, kids' hockey, cleats, Top Gear idiots in cars...

have you ever noticed that someone post a screenshot of text without providing an image description, preventing you from being able to read it? or maybe they posted a huge amount of text that just can't possibly be described with the image description feature?

simply tag @OCRbot in a direct reply to the image. it will download the image and scan it using tesseract OCR to output the text contained in the image!

because OCRbot runs on fedi.lynnesbian.space, it has a character limit of 65535, so even the longest images should work OK!

check the reply to this image to see it parsing the attached screenshot!

remember watching hackers
and then someone hacked hackers
and now it fits in a video upload
crazy how that happens
