@smveerman Klinkt als "shit, we hebben iets verkeerd gelezen en het is te laat om het nog te herstellen, maar dat willen we niet hardop zeggen"

Nieuwe doxingwet geeft een wapen om journalisten weg te houden
https://www.doorbraak.eu/nieuwe-doxingwet-geeft-een-wapen-om-journalisten-weg-te-houden/
"Als ik me direct tot journalisten mag richten: hoe zien jullie de komende jaren voor je? Als het nu gaat om kritiek op de overheid, bedrijven en machthebbers. Gaat een kabinet-Wilders dat toestaan? Gaat hij de politie tegenhouden of juist loslaten? Iets om over na te denken."
@julialuna@chaos.social HobbyKing used to be the place to go for these, not sure if they're still any good today
I truly do not understand people setting off display fireworks before dark, what even is the point
@skye We badly need better intergenerational community support tbh, it feels like a never-ending cycle of people rehashing the same discourse because they weren't there for the previous iterations

The cop who lives across the road just set off fireworks in his yard.
Fireworks are pmuch illegal for private use in NSW, under the Explosives Regulation 2013.

Ik zou willen dat ik de luxe had om mijn schouders op te halen en maar eens af te wachten hoe heet precies die soep zal zijn. Die luxe heb ik niet. Haat is nooit gesmoord met stilzwijgen en afwachten. Tegen haat moet je knokken. Onze Kamerleden die het op moeten nemen tegen die collega's die er in het geheim even verwerpelijk gedachtengoed op na houden als Wilders, Bosma en de rest van de PVV, zullen veel steun nodig hebben om zich staande te houden.

daily psa: kinks are not necessarily equal to sex
asexual people can enjoy kink
sex repulsed people can enjoy kink
it's not rocket science

A reminder: Open communication, in every relationship you have, be that a romantic partnership, friendship, anything, should always, emphasis on always, be a priority. If you can't be open with the other person in that relationship, then your relationship is not healthy. The other aspects can be great, but if there are communication barriers, you have very big problems. Talk. Put things out there. If you're withholding things from the other person in your relationship for any reason, that is going to explode. And it's going to be a thousand times harder to manage that relationship drama than it is to have a hard discussion or two. Lack of communication breaks people apart, and can sometimes damage relationships beyond repair. Lack of communication can show the other person any number of things, anywhere from lack of trust to coming across distant/uncaring about them/their feelings/ETC. Even if you don't mean it that way, the message can get conveyed with that lack of openness. Communication can be really hard. I get it. Some of those discussions are really, really hard to have. But seriously. Just talk. Reach out. Express yourself. Put your feelings out there. Any true friend/partner/ETC will and should always respect you, accept you, and always have your best interests at heart. If they don't? You know where you stand. Communication is, and always should be, a huge piece in any relationship. It's healthy, and necessary
Started watching Silo today, and really appreciate that (at least so far) it's not falling into the "plot is driven by people doing obviously irresponsible and illogical things" trope that is so regretfully common in dystopian fiction

Annoyed that a website is doing something custom on right-click?
Did you expect the browser's context menu (Back, Reload, Save Page As, View Source etc.)?
Just hold the ⇧Shift key while clicking and Firefox will show the built-in context menu.
Edit: I had no idea this was such a widely appreciated post. Credit where credit is due: @dveditz told me about this trick a couple of months ago.

Suggestion: Whenever someone tries the "Reasonable" game on you, demand they change the word to "effective."
"What are reasonable solutions to climate change?"
No, "What are *effective* solutions to climate change?"
"What are reasonable Covid precautions?"
No, "What are *effective* Covid precautions?"
We don't talk about "reasonable" ways to escape from a great white shark or avoid a gasoline tanker that has overturned.
re: abusers in the NixOS community (cont.)
And now I am getting guilt-tripping unsolicited DMs from jonringer, after already having made it abundantly clear to him that his involvement or commentary is not wanted.
These people do not care about boundaries or consent, that much is clear.

Follow-up here: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/111670875748096878
re: abusers in the NixOS community (cont.)
I want to emphasize again that the majority of the NixOS community has been great, and it is only a small handful of people who are the problem here.
Like in many other communities, it's a handful of predominantly white dudes who believe that it is their place to involve themselves in everything, simply because they have decided so.
But they *are* a significant problem, responsible for quite a lot of burnout and people leaving the community already, and so far there has been no effective action to make this stop. That needs to change.
re: abusers in the NixOS community (cont.)
Additional links for those wanting to read up more on what happened:
https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/98 (RFC 98, which is a pretty good display of what happens when you try to suggest fixing community moderation issues)
https://matrix.to/#/!VyoUhyWvlhSpFWWxHL:matrix.org/$znpi7pDvD3tOIgFKDvjm9de1L0cq73BZLwq0kgiXIkE?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=pixie.town (do not interact with thread - this is the more recent incident with tomberek)
abusers in the NixOS community (cont.)
Can't immediately find my earlier post about this, but hereby an update on the abusive folks in the #NixOS community. Time to start naming some names - maybe that will get some actual changes going. 
One of the consistently abusive folks, blaggacao, has been banned from NixOS spaces, at least for now, after concern-trolling on moderation matters.
tomberek, who deliberately violated my boundaries about a week ago by running a non-consensual experiment on my emotional state, and caused an anxiety attack at 4am in the process (the consequences of which I'm still dealing with today - I have barely slept since), remains untouched. I have yet to receive even an acknowledgment from him that he did anything wrong, let alone any sort of apologies or attempt to repair harm.
jonringer, another community member with a very problematic history (among other things, concern-trolling the mention of 'fascism' and 'bigotry' in RFC 98, a code-of-conduct RFC), just decided to dig up the incident thread and tell me that I should "just ignore" the abuse from tomberek instead of "attacking" him for his "viewpoints" - despite repeated comments in the thread (from moderators and me) that the thread should be considered locked.
