Viktor Rivas hates the Sounders. He’ll give this penalty.

Question for teachers out there: If you're learning to teach a foreign language, what resources or material do you learn from? Does it differ if you're a native speaker teaching others to speak your language?

I am not looking for tools for me to learn languages. I am trying to understand the meta-education which goes into language teaching.

Firing up the turntables tomorrow night for my second vinyl set stream! Our theme for the evening is "Albums from Highschool" One song from each of these albums! Then, we'll listen to one front to back! Tomorrow night at 7:00PM Pacific over on https://twitch.tv/james_lrr

@James_LRR This lineup looks sick. Completely unrelated, do you have any Oscar Peterson vinyls? K & I started watching a documentary about him, I hadn't heard of him. But his jazz piano is absolutely mind blowing.

So, Mastodon and X enable easy embedding of their posts on other websites.

BlueSky has a solution generated by a 3rd-party (there was another one which went away.)

Threads gives you a way to generate a code, but all it does is load up a box and link to Threads.

Super disappointing to see the willingness to let the walled garden thrive, but not surprising.

@llarian Agreed, of the four it's the one I enjoy the least and feels the most superficial as a platform.

So, apparently, Bimbo Bread is named for its parent company, the Mexican "Grupo Bimbo" which was founded in the 1940s.

In trying to figure out where 'Bimbo' in the name came from I found their corporate website. It states that the name is a combination of "Bingo" and "Bambi." That's... interesting.

@bedirthan I say it Bim-bo, but can easily believe it's supposed to be Beem-bo.

They really want to make it hard for me to watch soccer games, what a corporate-driven mess. The games could be on any of five services, good luck soccer fan! Introducing NWSL+!

@zackstern Yeah, it's super disappointing. They tried to make a cheeky social post about it with Thanos' stones being each of the streaming platforms.

Paramount+ is now entirely useless if you use a pihole to block New Relic, Doubleclick, and Braze. You literally can't watch the shows you paid for without providing minute-by-minute viewership data to multiple ad platforms.

@trick@hachyderm.io avatar

@AstaMcCarthy @adam Unfortunately doesn't help if you want to watch live sports on Paramount+.

trick,
@trick@hachyderm.io avatar

@adam @AstaMcCarthy yeah, we have to temporarily disable pihole for Paramount+

trick,
@trick@hachyderm.io avatar

@adam Yeah, we haven't made that jump yet. I just do the temporary disable for now. We'll see if I'm driven to make a similar change soon though.

@lfrum What is your preferred video game system? Is it different than what had the majority of your favorite games from this year?

trick, to UX
@trick@hachyderm.io avatar

When logging into a website, what is the benefit of asking for email, making me hit submit, and then asking me for my password? Why not accept both at once? #UX #UI #UIUX

@amalgam_ That makes sense for SSO, but there are general websites which follow this sign-on pattern as well and they are not SSO.

I remain saddened by the state of Android Mastodon apps compared to the offerings on Apple.

@bcatdc It's just a me-project. I wouldn't wish the spaghetti code on my worst enemy, lol.

I do agree that static sites are the way to go these days unless you have dynamic features you must have.

@bcatdc Ha, that's fair. Cheers buddy, happy new year
