Food banks and all variations on that theme should be seen as indictments of a failed state, not something to be encouraged or celebrated. They exist because we have collectively fucked up our economic system.
I've just learned through a mislabelled product that apparently the same product sold at Dutch Lidl will list "Lidl Nederland" as the supplier, but at German Lidl it will list the actual manufacturer
I need a "no technical support will be provided for LLM-generated code" sign

I just tested positive for COVID. If you saw me recently (especially if you were at the Stonewall IO during 38C3, or at my live set at CCCHH) please get tested!!!

The most German solution to pedestrians crossing the railway line due to a missing crossing : a sign.
@onepict@chaos.social I would also add: if you've chosen to go into FOSS, then you've already *acknowledged* that tech is political, because that is what FOSS is. The only question is which politics you recognize and value.

My wonderful gardener Kathryn has, good for her, got a new full-time gardening job. I'm pleased for her as it will financially make her life easier.
But it's also bad for me, as now I need to find a new gardener. It was hard enough finding her. There are lots of "slash & burn" gardeners out there, but for some reason, not many gardeners with plant knowledge and interest in working with me to develop my garden.
So if anyone knows of a gardener in the Penarth/Cardiff area, let me know!
@aeva Ah, I was not aware of *that* particular concern. Thanks!
@aeva Hm. Is it? I know that the other CC licenses are because they make (or lack) certain distinctions that don't quite match up with code licensing needs, but is that still true when the license is basically "do whatever, don't care" and there are no distinctions to be made between usages at all?
@mynameistillian I generally have them deliver it but given that I don't have a car I am probably not exactly the typical customer
@mynameistillian There are tools like lshw, but any physical properties that the computer reports are quite possibly a lie, so that's not actually that useful.
It depends on the laptop but for the more serviceable ones (refurb business laptops mainly) I've often found it easier to just pop off the cover and look inside.

can anyone recommend game reviewers that critique games as art not not just a product?
i.e. what the the story means, the feelings the game passes, if the gameplay compliments the vibes, a breakdown of its unique systems, etc
not just "how good is it to pew pew for 50 hours"
As far as I can estimate, the issue seems to have started when Plasma started supporting HDR mode
Okay, am I imagining things or has someone else observed things going wonky with color balance in KDE Plasma on a multi-screen HDR setup?
I'm seeing a frankly absurd color difference between two identical monitors that are both in sRGB mode over an identical display protocol and that didn't exist in the past.
