My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

@marlies I really am curious why it is so difficult; from what I understand it is basically tomato + vinegar + sugar + salt, all of which are 'just' taste amplifiers of different kinds.
I have no idea either how there can be so much difference in flavour despite those basic ingredients.

@marlies Ketchup seems to be very difficult to make well for some reason, it seems. The one from Lidl is garbage too, even though all their other sauces are fine.
Volgens Verpact zijn er in de afgelopen twee jaar 15 nieuwe bulk-automaten voor statiegeldverpakkingen bijgekomen, op een totaal van 1403 nieuwe statiegeldautomaten: https://www.verpact.nl/nl/actueel/persbericht-reactie-inzameling-statiegeldflessen-en-blikjes-blijft-stijgen-innameplicht
Dat moet echt nog een stuk meer worden. 15 is bijna niets.
@maya I have heard of people throwing them into Calibre to have its OCR stuff handle it, I think Zotero has a similar integration, and paperless definitely does though it's more meant for scanning mail (it's all just Tesseract in the end)

normally when i come across a PDF which i can't annotate or copy text out from, i solve my problem by finding a different publication of the document .
http://www.bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/files/35-MIXING-H-ET-NH-GBpdf_0.pdf
I cannot find a different version of the document. what do y'all do in this scenario?

Pet peeve: the waste generated by appliances for which the consumables and/or wear components stop being available shortly after release.
Think air filters, non-stick grill plates, nonstandard vacuum cleaner bags, ear thermometer caps, seal bag rolls, and so on.
Like, you end up with a perfectly working device that you can't use anymore because you can't replace the one part that's worn out despite it being *expected* that that would happen.

My body temperature is normal and the combination test insists I have neither COVID, nor Influenza A/B, nor RSV, but the pain symptoms sure are telling me that I'm coming down with something

I love the message of this article. Instead of organizations chasing after “10x” “rockstar” engineers, they instead should focus on createing a culture and development pipeline where the average developer does great work.
I’ve seen many unproductive orgs with great engineers stymied by poor dev toolchains & processes.

"The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time."

Probably the most authoritative crowd counting association in Serbia estimates between 275k and 325k people today. They emphasise that this is likely an undercount due to uncertainties in other parts of the city at that exact point in time.
To put those undercounted numbers into perspective:
- That is between 15% and 19.5% of Belgrade's total metro area population.
- That is between 4.2% and 4.9% of Serbia's total population.

@hazel the most fun part is that if you look down while it’s happening to find out the password you can’t do it all of a sudden because that’s not what your head is doing in the muscle memory for the password. your own brain just decides it would like to keep it a secret from you

some real left-brain right-brain shit is when you boot your computer and you cant remember your password but your fingers just type it anyway and log in and you still cant remember your password
