So cool when messages from one side of my house to the other have to traverse us-east-1 first. What an utterly bizarre world.
@reinderdijkhuis @marlies This predates the existence of fatbikes, though. Previously it was "seniors on e-bikes" that were blamed as dangerous road users, with a bunch of very ageist and ableist rhetoric

@joepie91 two origins: the car lobby and the general pettiness and bias of the average Dutch person against anything they perceive as cheating or lazy or not suffering like they’ve suffered

PSA: if you're on a mega-instance like mastodon.social and want to move to a better instance but you don't want to leave your history behind, I will personally help you run my SQL script that loads your account export into a gotosocial database
@marlies I'm still wondering where this "e-bikes are dangerous" narrative comes from, whose interests it is serving, because it makes zero sense looking at the data

A friend showed me Punch-Out!! (NES) last Friday, and while it's not really my jam, there's a little detail I've been thinking about a lot where when you knock out the first guy he spins around and falls over, but there's this part of the animation where he pauses in a funny position for a moment and the sound makes it feel like he's rapidly spinning two or three times around that point and the effect is so well executed you feel it even if you focus on how he's not actually moving.

I bet we could do some really awesome stuff if sound design, graphics, and animation were that tightly integrated in games today. Hard for large studios to do that without interdisciplinary departments though, but smaller studios could clean house here. I think it's a mistake to treat treating graphics as this super advanced thing that carries stands alone, but alas the industry is broadly still under the tyranny of 90s magazine ad thinking.

You speedrun video games, I speedrun surgery recovery, we are not the same

Sure, I was assigned a gender at birth. I also got assigned homework at school but I didn't do that either.

It's okay to turn off the news.

I heard we're stress-testing pixelfed's infrastructure, so here's a photo of what I think is a variety of Catharanthus roseus

We're still accepting submissions for the #fluConf2025 track on #inclusivity and #accessibility in tech. Broad interpretations of the topics are welcome, ranging from the technical implementation details of how to build for and with assistive technologies, to the many cultural factors that act as barriers to adoption of free/open software and participation in the wider ecosystem.
Share your insights on designing hiring processes, identifying biases in data and barriers to access, the lost art of progressive enhancement, and whatever else the themes mean to you.
Apply up until midnight of January 19th, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)

@HeyLaiverd Ik vind het een interessante raadpleging, met die schuifjes, dat is een goed idee wat mij betreft. Wel jammer dat de vraagstelling zo duidelijk gericht is, en het meer om goedkeuring van een bestaand plan dan het inbrengen van nieuwe ideeen gaat, maar het is alsnog een stap in de goede richting denk ik!

De anatomie van een leugen – over de ambulance-aanrijtijden tijdens de A12-blokkade

"Wat vooral opvalt in de woordvoering tot nu toe is het gebrek aan nuttige informatie, en welke informatie ontbreekt. Als er daadwerkelijk een gevaarlijke situatie was ontstaan, dan had de politie dat toch wel gezegd? Dan hadden ze daarmee toch demonstranten kunnen overtuigen?"

Just from recent personal experience it’d be really cool to have an up to date resource on X11/Wayland GPU compatibility
food, health update, transplantation (8)
I just learned that the normal procedure is to feed people liquid food until they recover enough to eat solid food, but I apparently beat them to it and requested (and got) sandwiches before they could get around to putting in the liquid food restriction, and that went completely fine so they've just decided not to restrict my food type because I can apparently immediately eat normally lmao
