  #PennedPossibilities 1146 Does romance ever feature in your work? I am, lightly said, not a big fan of romance. So, I would never write a romance story for the sake of it. When romance features in my stories, it's just one of many layers. It never happens as fan service and it needs to serve the plot. I absolutely hate the "boy gets girl" in adventure movies or the "true love" trope in fairy tales where the prince never actually met her #amWriting #a...

  "Es gehe nicht darum", so #Merz, "etwas zu verbieten", während er – der Parteichef der Partei, die ständig irgendwas (bspw. Entgendern) verbieten möchte – die im Grundgesetz verbriefte Praktik der #Enteignung verbieten will #depol #politics #CDU #dieLinke #DeutscheWohnenEnteignen #Berlin

  #WritersOfMastodon/ #WritingCommunity, most of you probably know the "Somehow, Palpatine returned" meme. How would you, when editing, call a piece of information which is repeated in such a way, so that it doesn't feel quite smoothly conveyed? I'm looking for a concise term ("oh, that's an xyz error!"). #amWriting #amEditing #FollowerPower

  What is this? – if key is string, then value must be int – if key is int, then value must be bool It should allow for ['foo' => 1, true] #AskFedi #FollowerPower #amCoding #amProgramming #softwareDevelopment #softwareEngineering #PHP #PHPStan #computerScience #dataTypes #typeSystem #typeTheory #typeVariance #compositeDataTypes #dataTypeComposition

  #WritersCoffeeClub MAY-03 Do you write your works localized to the setting or your background? I used to write in German, but it has a smaller potential audience (not just in terms of individuals but also in terms of platforms where I posted) than English, so I switched to English when I switched to another platform. I usually don't name the places where my stories take place with the exception of #Anchorage, #Alaska in #SubconsciousMind because I spent some time there. #amWriting

  Remember when #DonaldTrump wanted to acquire #Greenland by force if necessary because it was so huge (one of his reasons)? Well, this stems from a common mistake due to using the #Mercator projection. 55 countries in the African Union now voted to replace it with the Equal Earth projection, created in 2018 by Bojan Šavrič, Bernhard Jenny, and Tom Patterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH9rGGQMy9A https://piped.video/watch?v=BH9rGGQMy9A https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=BH9rGGQMy9A #Mercator...

  #AI didn't suddenly get more expensive. It actually was never cheap from a value standpoint. Of course, you had cheap conditions, but what is happening is prices got more realistic to what stuff actually costs. #noAI #artificalIntelligence

  "The french say, I overheard them the other day, infant terrible, they call me—can you believe this? Putting the how word after the what word. Terrible people. Terrible language. Stole our language and butchered it. Bad people. But they'll be hit with tariffs really really hard. This will pay us back for all they stole. Maybe not all, but I believe, they told me, 200%, 300%, maybe 1000. Drop in the bucked, you know but at least that. 1/ #Trump #DonaldTrump
