@sk I remember listening to them like... 20 years ago?
@sk Damn, TechnoBase is still around?
re: the metaphorical theme song of activism
Most people really do not understand how propaganda works, and that doesn't change when the propaganda is for a better world...
the metaphorical theme song of activism
"You're never going to win anyone over this way", when what people really mean is that you're not going to win *them, personally* over that way, and even that often turns out to be false

in the same way that we have thermometers and display temperature, given covid we should have the cubic feet per second of ventilation and CO2 meters as basic measurements of the habitability of a room.
Als je bij #37c3 bent, let dan op dat corona-zelftesten in Nederland steeds slechter verkrijgbaar zijn.
Het loont waarschijnlijk om er een paar in Duitsland in te slaan voor je weer terug naar huis gaat, zodat je ook in de dagen na Congress nog kunt testen!

#Wilders en #Rusland
#FollowThe Money
In een artikel van 19 okt '23 toont FTM aan dat de PVV bewust op zoek ging naar financiering uit Rusland.
Dat noem ik gewoon verraad, zéker in de huidige omstandigheden.
En dan wil #Wilders nu premier worden!
Let op: aan de internet pagine zijn verschillende links verbonden met meer info/bewijs.
"Gelekte documenten bewijzen tot nu toe onbekende connecties tussen Rusland en de PVV"
door Laurens Groeneveld voor Follow The Money
https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/de-banden-tussen-pvv-en-rusland-zijn-sterker-dan-gedacht
Quotes:
"Het Kremlin probeert al sinds 2013 banden te ontwikkelen met de PVV. En met succes. De partij figureert prominent in Russische beïnvloedingscampagnes, blijkt uit gelekte documenten."
"‘Het traject dat de PVV doorliep, is een schoolvoorbeeld van de Russische strategie om westerse politici te beïnvloeden’"
"De PVV komt in 2013 op de radar van het Kremlin. Geert Wilders legt dan in de aanloop naar de Europese verkiezingen de basis voor een nieuwe, rechtse, Europese beweging."
"Over de Maidan Revolutie in Kyiv zegt Wilders in de Tweede Kamer dat de protesten ook het werk zijn van ‘nationaalsocialisten, Jodenhaters en andere antidemocraten’. Termen die je veel hoort in rechtse kringen, zegt Jakub Kalensky. ‘Maar puur Russische propaganda.’"

Over on the platform formerly known as twitter, people are sharing “art that makes them emotional” and somebody shared this, an all-time favourite tumblr post of mine. Wanted to share it here.
This resonates with me hugely because I tend to be able to point to all my little habits and tell you where I got them from, and what that person means or meant to me. It helps me remember that friendships ending doesn’t mean they were wasted, just that it’s over.

US residents: If you haven't ordered your free COVID tests through USPS in the last five or six weeks, you're eligible for four more per household. It takes about a minute to fill out the online form, and USPS delivers them to your mailbox.
Testing is a great way to keep friends, family, and coworkers safe.

Me, encountering literally any podcast recommendation:
"This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."

Amsterdam is importing infrastructure innovations like "a post in the middle of a bike lane"
@baldur @alda All the cases I've seen over the years (a couple of folks have tested this) suggested that there is a small additional amount of savings, but it's small enough that it seems highly likely that minification is more often used as an obfuscation and/or "everybody does it" thing, and bandwidth savings are just a surface reason
(Especially considering that those same sites then often proceed to load megabytes of third-party junk and don't even bother optimizing their image compression)
@smveerman Ah, dus ze zijn hem niet echt kwijt 😅
@smveerman ... "missing"?
re: psychologist, positive
(I strongly suspect they are neurospicy themselves)
psychologist, positive
Really quite happy with this psychologist; they proactively remember to wear a mask every meeting, they can keep up with me, accept my life as it is rather than trying to 'make it normal', and actually come up with helpful advice on a ton of topics
Another day, another case of "I think I'm just going to do this in application code because I'm sick of dealing with SQL JOINs"

i'm home. it's quiet. a few hours ago, there were many people. now, there are none. there was colorful light and talk and energy and worrying about leaks in my mask and covid in the air. now, there is nothing. silence, and familiarity. and thoughts.
many people will catch covid. a sizeable number will develop long covid from an infection that can be traced to this very event. how will the community react? will we recognize our shared responsibility in the people that have been harmed? make amends for the future? or push them under the rug, like has happened before now.
maybe i will get covid too. masks are not perfect. a little gets through, always. maybe there was a leak. maybe i misjudged the risk, and i should have left earlier.
was it worth it? in hell, where the water is poison, do you drink?
stay well, all of you.
