This is so exciting! I just added this stamp to my wishlist a week ago along with a load of other craft-related ones, and here it is randomly turning up in a mixed grab bag from someone's old collection!
It's from a 1948 series all about Belgian exports, this one is "Woman Making Lace" and now I just need to find all the other colours too 😅

Between the above stampy coincidence, and talking to a friend who just happened to get into #BobbinLace very recently and keeps telling me all about how pleasingly clacky it is, I'm thinking it's a sign to stop being chicken and try this kit at some point soon.

@thegiddystitcher Where do you people get kits, I can't even find a book of "how to"... I saw an old woman once long ago who did it in Slovakia, we all wanted to try it (was on a school trip), but couldn't find anything to start with.
Edit: I'm pretty sure I could diy the parts for it, just, I need to some instructions on the actual lace making. Why is there no book?

@sahqon @thegiddystitcher years ago I had found a website with basic instructions and the hint that one could try their first piece using clothespins
I tried a very simple piece and it sort of worked?
of course, I have no idea where that website was :(

@mray Encryption is being explored by a FEP
-
Ma #TeleMonteCarlo e i suoi #giochi interattivi in #TV ?

@katzenberger Fair enough, I'm not arguing against that. It's just that encryption isn't easy and will take a long time. I'm using this as a 'research foil' to understand why people use Signal vs encrypted Mastodon PMs.
I totally get that people just want safety baked into everything, I'm not against that in any way. But it is very hard to do well.
-
@scottjenson Don't really need encryption just for the DM edge-case. I only need to know where/for who exactly my message will pop up automatically, though.
Suggesting "encryption" exists in mastodon, how can one make sure it is interoperable with ActivityPub AND nobody gets it wrong and falsely assumes encryption is omnipresent, when it is absolutely not.
-
@mapache Yes, I know! ;-) I'm not saying no I'm exploring when (as encryption will take longer than UX improvements
-
@scottjenson My take (which seems to fly in the face of the zeitgeist) is that Mastodon is not meant foremost as a private messaging app. It is at its core, an *open, social* microposting platform. There are apps that are radically better suited for private and safe comms, and I am a huge proponent of letting things be true to themselves. When you try to shoehorn stuff into a system not intended to do that stuff, it ends poorly.
So, sure, DMs out of the timeline, but no Signal-like hardening.
-
@scottjenson I think, given today's climate, encryption should be a priority over UX changes. My thought is not whether microblogging DMs should be encrypted or not, but simply if *any* kind of messaging exists that is not public, on any service, it should be encrypted. It's the sad world we live in now where services can't be trusted. Non-public messaging that isn't encrypted shouldn't exist. Should microblogging services be Signal? Not at all. But DMs already exist, so now it has to be dealt with. Simply telling users "it's not for private discussions" isn't enough.
