Fun Ferry Facts / Vermakelijke Veermanfeitjes
If you are born on the island of Texel, the first time going by ferry to Den Helder is free. There is no ticket sale or ticket inspection for the ferry on Texel.

Things don't "fall into the public domain" at the end of their copyright term, Ugh.
Once released from copyright, works Ascend into the glorious ranks of the public domain, fulfilling their rightful destiny as part of the cultural heritage of humanity!

you know what, i don't even care how good AI is at coding. if the literal ghost of Donald fucking Knuth showed up at my desk and started typing my code for me, i'd tell him to fuck off back to his grave. It's *my* code and *I* want to do the coding.

What the absolute fuck: https://yossarian.net/til/post/some-surprising-code-execution-sources-in-bash
In short: [[ "$foo" -eq whatever ]] in bash can run arbitrary code.
That looks like something that can realistically trigger in a lot of scripts.
(also test -v, but I barely ever see that one used)
Edit: This also happens in zsh 5.9 (but the referenced variable needs to exist) and mksh

Auspol, teen social media ban, my submission
The irony is that I spent more effort and time on my submission than they did on the bill.
@wheeze_NL So far the only credible answers I've found to that are: fedi, matrix, Congress

#askingforafriend (seriously)
Is there such a thing as a Neurospicy Dating Platform?

@joepie91 Me and my coworkers have had this happen to us multiple times. Both calls and texts Android just fumbles the bag and says nothing until we either check or 10 minutes after we urgently needed the person we called they finally get a notif. These smartphones are so fucking useless.
How the fuck do you develop a phone OS and make the *primary functionality* of a phone not work reliably
Great, missed another hospital call because Android *again* spontaneously failed to make any noise when I got a call, even though the phone was literally right next to me the entire time

I just want all Cathode Church users to know that due to the Australian government rushing through ridiculous legislation to try to ban social media for teens, we will forthwith be classified as a Web Site Promoting Health And Education Of Teens as an excepted category to the limitations.
The eSafety commissioner is welcome to personally dispute this if they enjoy being laughed at

idk if that's a bad take but i want teens to be able to use social media actually
i wouldn't be alive if not for my online friends i found during my teen years as a queer person
and no i don't care how much minors dni you are about it
some kids can't afford to have parents that love them or irl spaces they can trust
all this social media banning's gonna do is only isolate those who are already in need

The web could have been a series of villages you navigate to.
Social media did us so dirty, with the 256 character restrictions and 4 pictures limit.
PS: If you have some good examples of "web village" from neocities or the geocities era, I'd be curious to see.

What if more people hand-coded a personal website in 2025 than in 1997?

@cwebber I can't quite put words to it, but for me the most telling part of that post is the assumption that if programmers are curious, they must therefore be curious about *that specific thing*, and otherwise it must mean that they're not curious at all. As if it is the most interesting thing that could exist.
discussion of eating habits
@kingdomcome Oh and also I got a decent pile of those cube-y IKEA 365+ glass food containers (with plastic lids with silicone seal) for storing leftovers, because basically everything fits into them and they're easy to store and wash, so that reduces the spoons cost of "storing part of a meal" enough that I will actually do it
