Mom played around a bit with #GNOME and #niri, and she'll be switching to #niri, because she concluded that tiling is awesome.
She's in the "some floating is okay" camp, though, so I'll let niri decide what to float and what not. But she'll be tiled-by-default, with tabbed columns.
AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT: She decided that notmuch, Org Roam, and Emacs are all incredible tools, and she wants to learn them.
What have I done.

found a pretty cursed PDF with an object that did NOT want to be ungrouped and after repeatedly pressing ctrl+shift+g to ungroup it turned into this

Finally, a large protest against the far-right and racism in the Netherlands. Amsterdam, right now.
@ArtHarg Given that they barely ever cover protests within NL either, I can't say I'm surprised...

Ok folks! #hopePunk weekend challenge!
Take some time to ponder, and add your own toots to two of my favourite visioning projects:
#spoonieTown an imaginary place where we've already solved all the problems - what's life like there? What's kind of infrastructure is used? How do we take care of each other? What's a day like?
#tonicMasculinity - share your favourite examples from pop culture, your real life moments, or men you admire and why. There's so much good to celebrate. 🎉

in #SpoonieTown, the abbreviated terms "Lo-Mo" and "Lo-Fo" are understood to mean "low motivation" and "low focus" and describe those particular challenges a person can struggle with in their day to day. so, when someone says they are having a lomo kind of day, everyone gets exactly how that person is feeling and can instantly relate.

I’m confused.
Can you use petrol with Teslas or not?

Due to the impending collapse of the USA, there seems to be a movement of import substitution brewing in Europe¹. Alright, I can live with that.
But how about, additionally, a really good repair movement? There's a lot of imported hardware in circulation, some of it hampered by secure boot schemes (that need legalized exploits), some by software obsolescence. Microsoft is telling people to throw PCs away when Windows 11 won't run on them, we can do better.
¹: central/western Europe, this time

why don't phones have a passive RFID chip you can write e-tickets to when it's still powered on?
I'll keep using my plastic cards for train tickets :^)

In Baarn: Grote groep tegen de NVU. Heel veel smeris. Poging tot uitbraak om lopen NVU te verhinderen werd terug geknuppeld. Weglopen aan andere kant verhinderd smeris en romeo's. Nu ingesloten. Ook ME met schilden. Veel leuzen. Nazi scum off our streets!

Your friendly occasional reminder that, if you want to read an academic paper but it’s paywalled, you can email the author and they are allowed to send you a pdf. You can’t imagine how delighted they will generally be to think that someone actually wants to read their work.
@lnl Ah, hm, that's listed as 2021 in the list on Wikipedia
@domo I'm not sure!
