believe in yourself and what you stand for. express it even if it is messy. the world is stacked against you and full of cultures driven by systems made to make you feel flustered and shut you up.

we won't get better at it if we keep bottling it up in fear

Bumping this! I'm still searching for localizers for the following below. If that's you, or if you know someone who it fits, please reach out! This is a paid, short term, fully remote opportunity, though you must be in Ontario due to grant restrictions.

Count Doracula 🎃 @heyitsdora.com · Aug 21

Hey game dev! Looking for Ontario-based localization partners (either a company or individuals) for:
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish

These do not all have to be done by the same person. Must be comfortable working with queer themes/pronouns and complex narratives! Thanks

if you are an artist and you don't use the paypal invoice system, you are basically asking for a malicious or clueless client to terminate your career

Gilbert #NewDeal4Animation @discord12395.bsky.social · 6d

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

What are good microframeworks to look at for Ruby these days? I regularly use Ruby but I haven't for anything web dev in a long time.

Ruby "Cursed Toe" Lastname @rubyzone.net · 3d

This is what I’m talking about when I say bluesky is not decentralized in any way that’s real. I know most people using this do not care about decentralization, but at least care enough to call out the bisquick team when they try to push this shit as a defense mechanism.

Chris Franklin @errant-signal.com · 3d

So let me get this today’s drama right:

* Jay followed noted transphobe Jonathan Chait
* Blacksky user Link pointed that out that’s fucked up after the past week
* Link was banned on Blueskys appview presumably by Jay
* But Link is also hidden from Blacksky b/c it still uses said appview

Seems like lexical might be worth looking at

I believe the last thing I used for this was ProseMirror

Dare I ask… what are the best rich text editing libraries today, for web? React, not React, I don't mind. Just want to know what's out there now. Last time I was deep into this stuff was 2 years ago
