I write code for a living, to allow me to pursue my true passion of yelling about the lack of bike lanes in #Atlanta.

Okay, fellow Duolingo fans: What was the most interesting, funniest, or otherwise notable sentence you encountered this year?

Mine was obviously the Norwegian architect: https://mastodon.social/

dixon,

@design_law Dutch is a funny language sometimes.

This would probably take twenty years to finish, but I'm happy there's some real investment here.

The One Medical / Amazon Prime thing is so dystopian. Having a subscription for healthcare is wild. We've gotta fix healthcare in the US.

Spent the afternoon painting some barriers for a new protected bike lane. Plenty of work left, but it's coming together.

This could be huge, Waffle House is organising all southern service workers.

web4 is a web written by AIs for other AIs. unfortunately there are still humans in the loop reading the content and expecting it to not be total gibberish.

web5 fixes this

dixon,

@willoremus Web5 tries to solve some problems, but not the AI one :ablobspin:

MikeDunnAuthor, to Atlanta

Today in Labor History September 24, 1906: The Atlanta massacre ended on this day. Rioting by white mobs began on September 22 after newspapers published several luridly detailed and unsubstantiated reports of black men allegedly raping 4 local women. The racist mobs destroyed black businesses and homes, killing at least 25 African Americans (official reports). However, the actual death toll may be closer to 100. Black men, including university professors, met to organize defense committees and began arming themselves. However, police and state militias raided their meetings and disarmed them. One cop was killed in the fight. W. E. B. Du Bois, who was teaching at Atlanta University at the time, purchased a shotgun when rioting broke out. "I bought a Winchester double-barreled shotgun and two dozen rounds of shells filled with buckshot. If a white mob had stepped on the campus where I lived I would without hesitation have sprayed their guts over the grass." The massacre was not publicly marked in Georgia until 2006, its 100th anniversary, nor made part of state's curriculum for public schools until 2007.

dixon,

@MikeDunnAuthor I graduated GA public school in 2006. Definitely didn't learn about it then.

How is JIRA Cloud the same as hosted JIRA, but just slower and a worse UI. Atlassian you’ve done it again

dixon,

@kyleve It seems horribly optimised. Part of me hopes that it's at least fast for smaller companies, because I couldn't imagine trying to sell this in a demo.

I really dislike it when I get a rideshare and it’s a Tesla

dixon,

@skinnylatte 50/50 on whether the driver is just trying to save money on gas or crazy Elon stan.

Apparently my stolen Rivendell has been spotted at Laney flea market in Oakland for $600. I guess it’s a good thing that they know what it’s worth (since other nice bikes go for $50).

Between ‘law enforcement is useless’ and ‘it’s there’, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.

can any east bay bike friends advise? (I know it’s probably just go there and bargain and pay up)

dixon,

@skinnylatte They could get in trouble for fencing stolen goods if you can actually back it up. If the cops won't get it back for you, then you can approach the store owner maybe.

Absolutely losing it at this team who decided it was totally fine to use the acronym for their name, “DAMP”, in regular communications.

dixon,

@kyleve "DAMP Core" gave me a good laugh.

BadSeedGarden, to plants

Passion Flower is the most interesting bloom in my garden but it has struggled to really get going.
I haven’t had a lot of success with plants grown in pots because they are in the hottest part of the yard and dry out too fast. I tried to correct this by adding Soil Moist to the pots and then it rained for 3 months straight 🤦🏻‍♀️

@plants

dixon,

@BadSeedGarden @plants I love these! They used to grow in the wild near my house. Super interesting bloom.
