the hyperfocusing on something to never wanting to hear about it again pipeline
The problem with "not all cops are bad" is that it means that you don't recognize the power of a fundamentally corrupted and oppressive structure over individuals.
That means that you believe that people's behaviour within those structures is decided by themselves individually, and that makes you vulnerable to "good cop, bad cop" strategies.
And *that* means that I simply cannot trust you not to rat out me or my friends when the rubber meets the road, maybe even without realizing it. That I cannot trust you to have my back when cops come for me.
It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, or that you believe this out of fear for a world without police, or that you think you can separate the good ones from the bad ones.
None of that matters for the simple fact that if you make this choice, I cannot trust you with my safety.
(And when people take issue with you being friendly with cops, *this is why*.)
@Ravotr Inderdaad een goed artikel, maar het zou wel fijn zijn als @doorbraak die favicon eens zou vervangen door iets anders (dat niet geanimeerd is) want het maakt het bijzonder moeilijk om op de inhoud van het artikel te focusen...

Goed artikel. Constructieve en noodzakelijke kritische kijk op hoe het in en met XR gaat.
De tijd om over anti-racisme te praten is altijd nu, ook voor XR

what git jargon do you find confusing? thinking of writing a blog post that explains some of git's weirder terminology: "detached HEAD state”, "fast-forward", "index/staging area/staged", “ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit”, etc
(really only looking for terms that you personally find confusing, not terms that you think someone else might be confused about)
Why do people keep reinventing injectable SQL
... are you fucking kidding me? Does SPARQL *really* still not have a standardized mechanism for parameterizing queries?
This is fucking terrifying.

Linking paywalled articles on social media should be considered a shameful thing to do. Like loudly farting in public

honestly, a lot of inherently untrustworthy entities (like VPNs) have been gaining traction through relative trustworthiness, rather than actual, absolute trustworthiness
like if someone asked you to funnel your internet traffic through them, at face value, that is extremely suspicious. but people trust the folks on top-- Google, Meta, Amazon-- so little that they'd rather talk to some rando in a dark alley than them
and of course, the irony is that this rock-bottom trust is actually especially profitable to those at the top too, since they run those ads on their platforms
the entire lot of them deserve the bin

Me and another person just saved a car from being hit by a Kliko on the run. It was filled with styrofoam and had no clear owner 😬

@operand Gezien mijn desastreuze ervaringen met de operations in Disneyland Parijs vermoed ik dat het niet echt op een gelijk niveau zal zitten :p
Is er toevallig ergens een artikel o.i.d. over de operations in de Efteling, en hoe dat zo efficient geworden is?
De wachttijden lijken tegenwoordig echt veel korter dan ~15 jaar geleden, en ik vraag me eigenlijk af waar dat door komt, maar er wordt maar zelden geschreven over de logistieke kant van pretparken...

Voor een actie voor toegankelijkheid OV zoek ik een rolstoel. Er staat alleen een bord in, dus hij hoeft niet functioneel te zijn. Mee kunnen slepen is genoeg. Liefst omgeving Utrecht

I would immediately apply for a company with a “no meeting” policy.

@syn Wat ik vooral bijzonder vind is dat ze niet alleen tegen het kraakverbod ageren, maar ook begrijpen *waarom* kraken (vanuit woonbeleidperspectief) belangrijk is - als stok achter de deur voor misstanden in de woningmarkt.
Want dat is iets dat maar zelden begrepen wordt, een hoop mensen komen niet voorbij het idee van "gratis woonruimte voor arme mensen".
