@bananas Ah but this one wasn't multi-language, that's the odd thing 😅 It *only* had a German label

@bananas (Which also explains how a German-labelled product ended up on shelves in a Dutch store, despite the label being designed *very* differently)

@bananas Oh they are, but AFAIK that's just down to the regional office thing - every country has (AFAIK) its own national organization that's often subdivided into regional offices, and each national organization is governed more or less independently, but with shared suppliers and infrastructure (IT, logistics, etc.). So each country's Lidl is different 'enough' to adapt to the local market.

@bananas I can't find anything about this - the German wiki also only seems to list the regional office split: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidl#Unt

@bananas Huh? I don't think that's right. AFAIK all of Lidl is owned by Schwarz, even though they have regional distribution offices

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

pandemic, subtoot negative moderate 

“i went to a convention and now i have COVID”
gasp. shocked pikachu. how utterly, blindsidingly unexpected! how could /anyone/ have /ever/ seen this coming???

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!

@gardening

@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

@aumetra @awoo Having watched this talk off media.ccc.de a few days ago, it definitely seemed to have serious audio problems towards the end (stuttering) and I wasn't sure if it was in the video file or in the playback device. Guess it was the video.
