Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

dont feel bad for using your local library and its services if you have a good local library system. literally use the hell out of its services if you can, it gives them justification to keep getting funding

@ABScientist Het is dan wel weer jammer dat dat stuk de dubieuze en achterhaalde "het komt door de mobieltjes"-theorie aanhaalt...

"Het risico voor journalisten is enorm. Het gaat dan vooral om journalisten die niet werken voor een grote krant of nieuwszender. Denk aan freelancers, of journalisten met een eigen blog, of zelfs activisten die zich richten op nieuwsvergaring, zonder zich journalist te noemen. Hoe duidelijk is de grens te leggen tussen activisme en journalisme? En hoe sterk staan deze mensen in hun schoenen als aangifte tegen ze wordt gedaan, of als er een schadeclaim op de mat ploft?"

@smveerman Ik vind het altijd wel jammer dat die dingen zo relatief duur zijn :/
@smveerman TIL that these still exist!

Ik zie dat Nieuwspaal met hun onbeschofte cookiemuur nu ook op fedi zit. Gelijk maar even in de blocklist.
geklaag over journalisme, drugsproductie
"Waarom is Nederland ineens zo populair voor de productie van crystal meth? Het lijkt erop dat criminelen ontdekt hebben dat Nederland een handige doorvoerhaven is."
Ok, maar dat is dus geen antwoord op de vraag, beste journalisten. Die haven ligt er al een tijdje, en die producenten zijn ook niet van gisteren. Dus *wat* is dan precies de oorzaak van de plotselinge verandering?
@hazelnot I have this problem even with most newer transport simulators tbh, they rarely hold up to OpenTTD for me

software development, negative
It's kind of depressing how it's just not widely understood among programmers that "people are going to lie to you to try and sell you things", and so entire organizations get built on shit tech with slick salespeople out of sheer naivete

A PSA, do you have an old hard drive? Was that hard drive used at some point to play #RuneScape? A project needs your help. Help them find old versions and preserve it https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/18p6ufp/comment/keni57j/ #retrocomputing (Idk if you have images or hard drives that old) #videogames

Guess what? 
Neocat v1.1 now available
➡️ https://volpeon.ink/emojis/neocat/
This release introduces the same variants as Neofox v1.3.
There are 3 downloads: The regular one, an archive for use with the Mastodon Admin CLI, and a high-res one for printing or inclusion in other graphics.

I got a letter from the Origami Association this morning. I don't know what to make of it.

@amberage @FediPact but so many people will see gargron being referred to as the creator of mastodon, so he's basically the ceo right? and therefore all credit goes to him, because great man theory
we're facing the waves of capiralist/neoliberal thought, which is unsurprising, given its all in service of a giant corp. the people wanting to come in bring their neolib values in. those who invite them aspire to be the neoliberal elite
fuck that. the fediverse is about the users and developers

Ok this caught me off guard...
I was having an internet search for "adult tinker toys" and came across this online shop. Ah! Pro tinker toys. Cool. I look around, and it's not what I want - mostly memorabilia.
And then there's the **FAKE MASKS** section.
Ummm, what? This is something people are doing? They're PAYING for a pretend mask?
Just... what?
