OK, I cannot stress this enough.
KEEP INVITING your chronically ill friends & (chosen) family to things.
Yes, a lot of the time we won't be able to come, but
1. that's our decision, don't make it for us, and
2. it's incredibly hurtful to find out there was an event etc and that we weren't invited. We want to at least know you were thinking of us.
A simple message saying: you are doing X and that you realise we probably cannot make it*, but would love us to be there if we can, is all you need to do.

*which acknowledges you understand our health situation.

Friendly, nay, aggressive reminder that
TAB INDENTATIONS ARE AN ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE
- People that use Braille tablets will represent each space individually, so 4 spaces is 4 cells, 1 tab representing 4 spaces is 1 cell. (visual accessibility)
- People that are hard of seeing, but don't need Braille will often use a large font size, but reduce the size of tabs so lines are not super indented. This is not possible with spaces. (visual accessibility)
- Tabs have special considerations in TTS engines. (audio accessibility)
- Tabs are easier to navigate with a keyboard. (motor accessibility)
If you PROHIBIT tab characters YOU ARE HURTING ACCESSIBILITY IN YOUR PROJECT and YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
If you do not feel bad, turn in your humanity, fox, pup, or doll card because you are a monster.
@elilla Honestly reading US-centric recipes sometimes feels like deciphering ancient runes to me, in general

You work at a place long enough, and sometimes the answer to "Who created this cool thing that just saved me a ton of time?" is "oh, I created that"
(This was inspired by someone else's toot, but is not a specific response to that; I've seen this particular "solution" brought up so many times over the years, and not just for Discord either)
"If you want things off Discord then you need to do the work yourself" sounds great on paper, but it has the exact same problem as every other "be the change you want to see" solution:
It doesn't acknowledge the very real incentives and systemic issues that stop someone from *actually doing that*, and it turns "moving off hostile platforms" from a collaborative many-hands-make-light-work project into an individualist Sisyphean boulder being rolled up a hill.
It's not the reasonable position that it superficially seems to be. If you want people to do the work themselves - which is *in and of itself* a reasonable ask - then you also need to give them space and support to actually do so, and account for things like disability too.
@marlies @smveerman De reden dat het me verbaast is omdat dat precies is waarom Signalen bestaat; het is een samenwerking van meerdere gemeentes om een open-sourcesysteem te bouwen dat voor alle gemeentes inzetbaar moet zijn, om zo de wildgroei aan dit soort meldingssystemen (en de kosten van al dat maatontwikkelwerk) in te perken.
Als het een ouder systeem zou zijn, dan snap ik dat ze dat blijven gebruiken, maar hoe ik het begrijp is MeldR dus een nieuw systeem, en dan vraag ik me af waarom er toch weer voor los maatwerk gekozen is.
Ik wil niet zeggen dat dat per se een verkeerde keuze is (dat is waarom ik het vraag!), maar "waarom hebben ze niet het ding gebruikt dat dit specifiek onnodig moet maken" lijkt mij dan wel een redelijke vraag om te hebben...
@smveerman Maar dat kan met Signalen toch ook? Bijv. https://meldingen.s-hertogenbosch.nl/meldingenkaart

one thing I love about dogs is that they'll go "I don't know what you want, so here's all of my possible responses in the hope that one of them is correct"
or they'll do something random one time right before you feed them and from that day forward they will always do that thing when you're about to feed them because they don't understand confirmation bias
@helle Oof, I hope that it can be rescheduled if needed!
@smveerman 🤔 I wonder why Rotterdam didn't just use Signalen for this

this year, I'm unsubscribing from email newsletters and adding them to my RSS feed reader instead, so that I can ignore them in a different place.

@Victor_el_DM 🤔 Why are there a bunch of old consoles / home computers of varying obscurity in that list?

Hey, pals! They dropped the list of the artists Midjourney has admitted to being ripping out!
Time to call your lawyers and sue the shit out of these thiefs!
Even if your name is not on the list you should rage at this billion dollars theft scheme.
We barely get to the end of the month while these criminals get billions and billions from investment firms!
Fuck Midjourney and their owners!

On an unrelated note, if anyone wants to start an illegal open source project with a friend of mine who's definitely not me to patch Bosch's stupid executable to not require login and then distribute it illegally on the internet LMK and I'll put you in touch with someone who just wants to be able to update e-bikes.

Sure wonder if Jellyfin is literally ever going to fix their Chromecast bugs that have been making the casting functionality nearly unusable for years (or even respond to the issues at all)
re: politie
Ik ben inmiddels echt wel een beetje klaar met dat constante zielig-doen-in-de-media van de politie, "het loopt nu echt uit de hand" zullen we maar zeggen
politie
Ah ja, het is weer 1 januari, dus tijd voor het jaarlijkse artikel waarin de politie een aanzetje doet om hun bevoegdheden verder uit te breiden want "het loopt nu echt uit de hand met de jaarwisseling", zonder dat er naar de daadwerkelijke data gekeken wordt door een journalist om te bevestigen of dat ook echt zo is
