meta, griping about being emailed 

oh yes, absolutely email me to 'appeal the block' of your instance, that will definitely convince me -_-

@whatanerd Yeahhhh. I've found the ones from Nurishh to be a bit closer to the real thing, but they don't seem to be available anywhere in NL. Their vegan gran padano is surprisingly good though.

adhd 

love going back to do a task i can't remember why i stopped doing and being reminded "oh yeah i went over to do this other thing" and repeating this loop twenty-six times before finally coming back to the original task

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

@whatanerd Relatedly: very annoying how some vegan cheese slices have a way too low salt content, presumably because they're trying to avoid the coconut oil aftertaste, and thereby make it taste like *nothing at all*

Considering it's somehow becoming cheaper (rather, other cheeses are becoming more expensive), I wish the singular vegan cheese at Lidl was... better than this.

It's like if someone made a cheese but only had a vague idea of what cheese was and that their only real thought about the whole thing was based on salt content.

@whatanerd Yep, I feel this. Unfortunately none of the options here are really any better... the cumin cheese from Albert Heijn was a bit better, but in terms of 'standard' gouda-style slices, the Lidl one was actually the *better* one :(

So unfortunately we can add Armin van Buuren to the "artists who have bought into NFT bullshit" list

De glijdende schaal van de afgelopen 20 jr van racisme verkopen als “zaken benoemen” en “politieke correctheid afschaffen” heeft ertoe geleid dat regelrechte nazi-retoriek nu niet meer herkend wordt en mensen zich oprecht afvragen wat er racistisch is aan nazi-leuzen.

@eloy @nerkles ... why on earth does package prioritization even work that way? That's just asking for trouble... this attack shouldn't even have been possible.

fuck up Nazis, yes. make their bullshit unacceptable. make them afraid to show their damn faces or speak their hate.

BUT THIS MUST BE PAIRED WITH

positive action toward the oppressed groups Nazis target. they MUST be supported, protected, welcomed

be suspicious as fuck of anyone who is super excited about punching Nazis but "meh" on actually helping the people Nazis target

cos those folx aren't rejecting the marginalization, just the crass approach to it

copaganda, NL 

En ook dit jaar is de politie op Twitter weer bezig over "illegaal vuurwerk", met daarbij een foto van hun 'vangst'... van legale merken.

Vraag je je toch af op welke grond ze iemand precies opgepakt hebben.

@Jerry@hear-me.social @aral It's a "vulnerability" in the same sense that it's a "vulnerability" that you can fairly trivially set buildings on fire for no reason if you really wanted to - it's a misuse of legitimate access/privileges for an unsanctioned purpose, in a way that's not preventable through technical measures.

That's why it's so important to look at fediverse security not just from a technical perspective, but also from a 'collective safety' perspective where people are held accountable for malicious behaviour.

Honestly it was almost indistinguishable from one of the better 'real' burgers I used to order

Milestone: just cooked my first genuinely delicious vegan burger!

Useful term I discovered this week: “toxic mimicry”. It’s the pattern of substituting systems/organisations/services that look superficially like they fill a core societal need but in fact act to take up the space that a genuine system would fill, and only provide virtual nutrition.

Examples:
- 6pm TV news mimics public discourse
- Malls mimic public spaces
- Daycare mimics collective child rearing

I like the term as it suggests something predatory and insidious.

@f0x You *can* have multiple stores, but then there won't be any integration points between them AFAIK - only half of modularity is about isolation, the other half is about having ergonomic ways to break that modularity in controlled ways

#Fediblock mastodon.se - this is a post from the admin speaking about allowing anti-abortionists, anti-political correctness, people who have been harassing other users, etc., because the admin doesn't want to be the 'thought police'.
