semi-related-ish ... someone here posted about their game being poached by game aggregator sites and adding a check to see if it's in an iframe and rendering something else. whoever that was, thanks for the tip!

survey question about eating
Informal survey question: are you plural, and do you eat a lot? 
(For 'normally', assume whatever you think is common; the exact quantity or pattern is not important here. If you're not familiar with what 'plural' means, please skip answering this one - I can't add a 5th option, sorry. Boosting is still appreciated!)

Getting a highly customized build of your operating system that installs headlessly onto 5000 routers in exactly the same way every time, with exactly the same resulting behaviour, surviving upgrades across the fleet deterministically? Trivial, comparatively.
Installing DaVinci Resolve? Oof, hope you had nothing planned this weekend
"Making the hard things trivial, and the easy things difficult" really does kind of feel like it sums up NixOS tbh

How do I get a mid-teen to understand data privacy, surveillance capitalism and why these topics matter?
Is there a teen-specific guide?
Thank you all very much for links etc.
The most recommended works are:
https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780765323118/little-brother by @pluralistic
https://nostarch.com/smartgirlsguide by @violetblue
as well as ' Government Surveillance: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)' https://yewtu.be/watch?v=XEVlyP4_11M

Sexual assault, Biden
In the past few weeks, I've seen multiple people talk about how fucked up it is that people would rather elect a rapist (Trump) than Biden. So I have to say hats off the the Democratic party for successfully memory-holing Tara Reade's accusation of Joe Biden sexually assaulting her in the 90s, not to mention the several other women who also accused him of touching them inappropriately.
Just 4 years later and folks have completely forgotten. Stunning work.
Special shout out to #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, who refused to condemn Biden and continued to advocate that we vote for him in 2020.
Realizing that making a community-focused social media thing also means having to re-teach people how to run communities, because this has been widely unlearned over the past decade

found a website where you can get free and personalized legal advice about your rights as an EU citizen called Your Europe Advice https://europa.eu/youreurope/advice/index_en.htm
it's an NGO with over 60 lawyers contracted by the EU commission. they also work with SOLVIT which will actually mediate in disputes between EU nationals and countries that aren't their home country regarding the violation of EU rights https://ec.europa.eu/solvit/index_en.htm and gently remind govt institutions of your rights as an EU citizen
i'm just leaving these here in case anyone ever needs these like i do right now

shower thought: why don't adults have sleepovers? It's not like we collectively agreed not to, we just *don't*.

New programming font designed by Frere-Jones Type for Intel. Interesting.
"Identifying the typographically underserved low-vision developer audience, Frere-Jones Type designed the Intel One Mono typeface in partnership with the Intel Brand Team and VMLY&R, for maximum legibility to address developers' fatigue and eyestrain and reduce coding errors. A panel of low-vision and legally blind developers provided feedback at each stage of design."

I think carving a tunnel through a 2400 year old tree and then charging people money to drive a car through it sums up US culture better than anything else
@joenepraat @openstreetmap Did you report the edit? IIRC there's a report button and I expect that they would not be aware otherwise
@joenepraat @openstreetmap The first change seems to have been made by someone at the Microsoft mapping team. The second and third seem to be a single bulk change from one user.
I suspect this is less a case of "OSM itself is zionist" and more a case of "there is insufficient moderation against editwars".

I am asking for tech help here, feel free to reply if you have actually got a setup of the type described, but don't reply if you have only done a Google search on the topic
Has anyone else got a working setup for mu4e with Protonmail Bridge?
I used to, years ago, but I fear that they changed the workings of the Bridge software so that it no longer works with mu4e
(Tried to set it up and ran into problems but I'm not sure if they can be resolved if I tried harder or if it's just not compatible)
