@screwlisp There's a number of code-evaluating bots, mostly BASIC, LOGO, or processing.js, since they do things with short snippets and can reply with a short GIF of the run.

I think longer evaluations than one toot are too hard to follow, and EL especially doesn't visually do much. There's some more text under the prompt, but the *state* is all hidden.

If you hook this up to CLIM and only take a single toot, which evals & posts a picture, it can be interesting.

      @joynewacc @riverbirchtree Folks, I just donated $250 myself which was doubled to $500. (I would donate more but I need to keep what little savings I have so I can fly out and meet Joy and help her get to Milan from Egypt or Jordan once she has left Gaza.)

      Looks like we have raised $3,105 so far – thank you so much! Let’s keep this going!

      Remember that your donations will be doubled until we get to $10K.

      Please donate if you can to help us evacuate Joy from Gaza. And please share so others might do the same.

      Thank you so much in advance. C’mon, fediverse, I know we can do this! :)

Pogona vitticeps, the central (or inland) bearded dragon, is a species of agamid lizard occurring in a wide range of arid to semiarid regions of Australia. This species is very popularly kept as a pet and exhibited in zoos.

Family: Agamidae
Genus: Pogona

This dragon is native to the semiarid woodland, arid woodland, and rocky desert regions of Central Australia. They are skilled climbers, and often spend just as much time perching on tree limbs, fence posts, and in bushes as they do on the ground. They spend the morning and early evening sunning themselves on exposed branches or rocks, and retreat to shady areas or underground burrows during the hottest parts of the afternoon.

                        I’d like to welcome four more Palestinian friends (and their families) from Gaza to Gaza Verified.

                        I had the honour of speaking with them during the last hour. Joy’s Internet connection is sadly offline as she’s moving house and so it was just me in the meetings. Thankfully, everyone spoke far better English than I do Arabic and we were able to manage. It never gets easy being shown the scenes of devastation in Gaza. You see it in the news but it hits differently through someone’s mobile phone.

                            I really, really dislike when people (like @FediTips, whom I often really appreciate) push for the Fediverse to defederate from unfavored speech. “If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”

                            Pushing for to use its ill-advised centralization to make it more like regular corporate social media that picks winners and losers is antithetical to what we should desire in the decentralized, open web. It's also the exact sort of thing "regimes" like to do.

                            Speaking of that term: there is plenty of room to criticize any administration, including Trump's. I've criticized the administration and some of its use of social media on here, in fact. But calling a duly elected administration a "regime"... persuades precisely zero people of anything. I've disliked that flex when the Right used it and I dislike it when the Left uses it, too. It also obscures that it is in the public interest for us to know what the White House says, both when we agree and disagree with it.

                              #Fascist? Difference between the word "fascist" used for normal modern people that don't care enough and really bad "Fascist" (there is a BIG difference)... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                              @xankarn I like your post at the top a lot -

                              I saw after something I think we have to be careful with as there is a fine line between many people who do care on low / high spectrum (even to comment otherwise wouldn't care enough to ask why) so it's good to not really quickly exclude these people or even write them off so easily as all or nothing support us or fuck off.

                              I don't mean those that have a profile full of bad stuff more professionally - but really at protest people have asked me similar things (which in person is more clear) and they have been mom and dad people too full of weird concern / old or new ways and yes some fascistic things they will take to their death. But it's good not to condemn them so quick, even online.

                              I'll give you an example but from the 'best of us' types of people here on - some of hero level (Teachers, Privacy advocates, whole range) and they have said some actually wild or vile stuff (like seconds from the message of me saying I'm a fan or appreciate them) - and THAT got me angry. "Lesson I learned" was "from nothing" people can actually create more antagonism or enemies from someone actually over-genuine or over-writing (as you do to your hero's or wanted to help overly).

                              It was like totally unexpected - I totally was not sending those vibes and they literally created it double back to me (I don't know how guessing so clearly wrong or not asking more or not reading more into my message or all my posts allows people made them make such big mistakes - so it shows even the best have these things. Almost opposite and this 'fine' line of fascism (I could say they are... and actually I'm reconsidering this post but I'm sure in person they are better or their history says so, so I have to forgive and not chase them as a fan or co-creator, or anything - which is a human shame and part of all this problem when you can't even join the good people even a bit)

                              So seriously careful with PUTTING people into labeling them and blocking quickly and therefore not even allowing much room to work with them slowly (or indirectly from your good posts) - the long-burn convincing or even let them realise on their own,,, is golden - and it may even be low % but usually the people who care also speak so again have to be careful and see from profiles or not have to guess and condemn people so wildly to lose even 20% of those asking what's the point...

                              Again I know there is a % nativity and plenty of bad - but responding in unhelpful way also isn't great - even in my nativity saying MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT FASCIST or as extreme as we feel asking questions we find hard to answer.

                              It's true they don't care but I've been writing about as a word being used for people that don't care enough (and there is a BIG difference).

                              So don't be too quick, check their profile and honestly even from the left that block the left - It does create *more* anger rather than allowing people to speak a bit - as there is a natural sparring or sword fighting that happens to get our minds in better shape... nothing that wrong with saying "what's the point?" and letting people practice answers if they are not a professional fascist.

                              Remember fascism come frmo authoritarian hierarchical government (or governing) like and (which many people are under IF NOT ALL and some thing negative maths or numbers are neutral - even Left / Liberal people so needs a whole re-format of people brain since they were born into money thinKING is ok), Obviously money and that hierarchy is the problem (but not everyone is there yet or willing to do everything without money more often)

                              LONG STORY SHORT:
                              It is going to take a long time for all the specrum and points - and sometimes it's not as clear getting rid of Trump either - and getting the next one to jump in the financial hot-seat. It's all the rich-isms and even comfy people with it too (sorry a lot have it after spending time in studying / wondering why good people have similar isms)... ⏲️ Time.

                              Thanks for reading, even reading once more to get the points...
                              Much love to the people and dressers out there ( and etc),

                              ⚠️ Admittedly lots of hashtags to really sort this thing a bit more - as people unversed use for everyone imperfect much like those being a incorrectly used by the other sides. Too easy to call people fascist and terrorists. Could say people don't care or have relativity (it's not the same but often more true)

                                  I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's washing.

The earliest special-purpose washing device was the scrub board, invented in 1797.

By the mid-1850s, steam-driven commercial laundry machinery was on sale in the UK and US. Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the US there was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.

After the items were washed and rinsed, water had to be removed by twisting. To help reduce this labor, the wringer/mangle machine was developed.

                                    @alice

                                    Sorry that's much like partially shooting yourself in the foot and then blaming rich people / bad leaders.

                                    So you if you don't see Banks as bad / funding wars - there is something seriously wrong. If you're keeping money there and going to protest - no matter how hard you your money is with them and doing bad things overnight.

                                    (Appreciate the reply by the way / let's try work on this)

                                    I know alternatives are seemingly few or hard to do but don't let that stop you trying for those things and not just protesting -

                                    *This* more-human part or real is part of the REAL "protest" (I.E. other protests are real but THEY ARE *JUST PROTEST* as in 'asking' / begging constantly for them to change.

                                    Protest in many senses we know is low change / 💯 % not going to happen (a lot of protest in history!) so by not moving what power / money (or things similar) out of their control / abuse) this is basically not clever protest
                                    (measurably not just my opinion - there is a direct power construct to paying for and things).

                                    I don't think you got it as much as this above (with respect) so I'm adding this...

                                    I'm saying yes to your list as partially good but not physically changing enough in core areas. (d it all but don't avoid the more core things and not just 'support' stuff which will be infinite unless your change the core).

                                    The picture (newer version + others added) was trying to show we are born into all this / part of the system and showing you (the public) are part of it's thinking too if you are thinking you are not part of fascist structures (the whole and / / ).

                                    I know you don't want to label yourself / agree you're part of BUT if people are using banks / bad maths / cheating systems and think it's ok and just neutral numbers paying each other less calue THEN YOU ARE PART OF FASCISM AND NEED TO COME OUT OF THAT THINKING!...

                                    VICTIMS
                                    *I do blame* victims AFTER they know this and continue. While all victims should have a chance and need time - some are WAY TOO COMFORTABLE and went into settling for it.

                                    No longer victim here as bourgeois (LOTS of people here very comfortable)... *and they* play their part in I'm a victim by going to the same theater or opera / shops / institutes / city.

                                    And they think all people online are doubtful - might as well did you're own grave that way.

                                    When the crowd pays to go in and boo the actors and want to pay bad people for their goods (and then complain). Just playing into it too much.

                                    So there's a measurable limit even to "victim" I'm sympathetic for (to a limit), but not settling comfortably into and not even in blaming-mode constantly helps (which is a lot of too).

                                    They spend 100's of hours (go check all the hashtags - again it's measurable) - but nearly nothing on forging friends... all the Tech people work on machines, code and then blame for using it. Short examples like that (more of a long chain but you get the picture).

                                    "It's not our fault we don't like giving time to other humans online or offline and play with PlayStation Linux all day, all our life..." :playstation: :linux:

                                    bla bla bla hashtags and near-0 on building / / giving to random people here between themselves. And poor you now getting a long detailed reasoning you might avoid replying.

                                    Just blame and cat pics? :catboo:

                                    Na. Not working.

                                    HOPE THAT'S CLEARER FOR YOU!

                                    🧑‍🤝‍🧑 + 🏦 🤑 = FASCISM HIERARCHY / AUTHORITY / POWER / MUSK or whoever

                                    Even using back ends to fuel instances without non-interactive human instances to change... is passing time like watching one-way TV news and never using ourselves / adding others almost whoever they are.

                                    SO WHAT NOW -
                                    Let me know where we can go for participating in circles...

                                    Let me know what you think of each part of this.

                                    We're all recovering but etc as a engine is largely empty software without a kind of department dedicated to actually doing social on any deeper level than complaining - an organized social - not one way stuff ... our stuff - 2-way into deeper things, not just text but audio chat that people can dedicate to every days as part of the whole of life. And create our way out of it into the new (not spread their crap).

                                    My whole account shows I've genuinely tried to find and to find much and many are not interested.

                                    I appreciate your reply and this isn't damning you or to win in the end an argument...
                                    ....unless you choose to end it here.

                                    About resources:

                                    I think it is more yes and not having will-power needs working on to encourage each other (hence having chats with people and not necessarily having to say everything but enough to really push past alone-ism)- time seems plenty for many (you can tell but their profile posts)

                                    It's the or constancy in others encouraging / asking for / seeing and accepting others as imperfect (naturally) and not being so doubtful - as that scuppers any chances too.

                                    Wwithout even testing people out people have resigned / accept fascism and even play their part.

                                    Part of the answer we need to do is in testing and solving real communication - no more bashing .

                                    Agree? / Disagree?

                                    Want to work on it?

                                    ⬆️ These are clear questions -
                                    please don't avoid.

                                                  There are a few niggles I’m working on ironing out and a few improvements I’ve got lined up to improve the experience but the main functionality seems to be working 🤞

                                                  If you are from Gaza and want your Mastodon account verified so we can protect it from attacks and protect you from scammers, please schedule a verification interview:

                                                    If you’ve been waiting for verification, you can now sign up for a video call (the first ones will be tomorrow).

                                                          Yes, and I was, I guess, playing devil's advocate there.

                                                          I have already decided I will not help the NGO do the kind of marketing research I know they really need/could use, because it is not ethical on the .

                                                          But I did start doing the sort of qualitative market analysis which can help their volunteers to use built-in tools (hashtags, follows) to become more engaged with fedizens who share their own affinities already — mostly based on your previous response.
