I'm sorry, there's an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and the Netherlands promises to *honour* it? I bet there's a story behind that.
@xgranade@wandering.shop I usually use the term 'bandwagon' or 'bandwagoning', which I never ran across problematic origins for (and nobody has complained about), but I'm not 100% certain

Generic descriptions don't convey the information or context sighted users get from the image. Examples like "election results," "group of people," "screenshot from Google," or "city skyline" may be technically be true, but they don't provide information and context.

i was in a voice call with my family (real family, not blood family) today, and we were talking about life and i said "you know, i usually resign and just cry about it with no hope...but...so much shit in the world happened recently, and i was like, well if it is all going to shit, and there's no going back from that, well, then fuck it. i want to fight. i want to live and do what i want now, because who knows when else i will have that time?"
re: the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
@bananas The original source mentioned "reverse racism" and "reverse sexism" claims as one of the reasons and that honestly tells me all I need to know about how those discussions went, really

i find it funny how you can just inject hormones into yourself and your body is gonna be like that guy at the factory line meme and be like "i guess we're a woman/man now"
the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
Honestly, every time you see someone claiming "I got banned for doing X and that is unfair/absurd!" your first instinct should be to go to the source and find the actual documented rationale for the ban, because 99 out of a 100 times it's going to be a *very* different story.
the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
*looks at post by the developer defending himself*
*sees a reference to an incident in the Python ecosystem*
"Hm, that seems like an absurd reason to ban someone, I should probably check whether that incident actually happened as they claim"
(It did not happen as they claim in the Python case and there was the usual laundry list of CoC violations being reduced down to "all they did was X!", ie. the standard tactical abuser playbook)

sort of a subtoot
I am *really* not looking forward to The Usual Suspects misusing that "cookie parsing is broken" article to start pushing for centralized authentication systems and dangerously broken crypto like JWTs again, instead of recognizing that we just need to get cookie handling fixed

ai, programming discourse
> I don’t get how you can see some of the world’s best programmers use a new technology to make them better at programming and shrug it off.
the world's best programmers have spent decades teaching me that our field serves power before anything else. all my work is conditioned by their enthusiastic embrace of rent seeking, the cloud, & totalized surveillance - building blocks for both the current AI state of affairs & a looming authoritarian nightmare.

OH “if you stay for more than three hours in this train, you would end up in Venlo. Nothing wrong with Venlo, but I would recommend finding another much quicker travel route.”
@silvermoon82 Not that I know of.

I just realized that the CD/DVD ripping setup I'm currently using is ingesting an average of 24 gigabytes every 8 minutes and that's ... notable
@hans Honestly the biggest challenge of any dating platform isn't really going to be the technical side anyway, but rather the moderation side. They're hotbeds for abuse otherwise, unfortunately.
(I have tried to work out a plan for this many times before)

@joepie91 Apparently this is very difficult to get right because iOS suffers from the same problem.
Also wake up alarms.
Strangely enough, my old Nokia N97 which I used until 2014 didn’t have any of these issues.
