@irina @smveerman Having worked at a Kiosk in the past, I don't believe for a moment that this is any faster...

@sterophonick Most likely not; sites can't access any data about other sites by design (they're isolated for security reasons) so there's not really a way for one site to know whether stuff is playing elsewhere.

It *is* possible to synchronize such information between different pages on the same site; I believe that's usually done through service workers. And if you're the one embedding the YT player on your own page, I think it has some events you can listen to too, though it's been ages since I've looked at that.

@domo Who said art can't be practical, I guess 😅

(I don't have a car and the nearest Action is over in Den Bosch, so I regularly have to resort to trickery like this!)

@StroomAfwaarts It *was* very easy to knock over 😅 But as long as you concentrate all the weight in the bike bags, that helps quite a lot to keep things reasonably stable, by moving down the center of mass

@ai6yr (In this case, the orange bungee cord that runs through the center between the blue ones, uses that trick to attach to the *other* orange bungee cord that goes horizontally, and prevents it from slipping under the bin, which would have made it useless for holding stuff in place)

@ai6yr Oh, it was no problem at all! I cycled for about 45 minutes with this setup, from Den Bosch to Rosmalen, overal several steep bridges and messy city center traffic layouts, with plenty of bumps in the road along the way. It never even threatened to fall off 🙂

There's a surprisingly amount of stability you can achieve with criss-crossing bungee cords! A particularly useful trick is to hook the end of one bungee cord onto the middle of another; that way you permanently tension the other one while also pulling it towards a particular direction, so you get a very robust sort of triangle arrangement.

@oblomov I'm aware of the claim that automatic-parity salaries will cause inflation spirals and/or have been to blame for past instances of such.

I have never seen a believable explanation as to why that would be, and it doesn't make any sense when you think about it - the available amount of labour doesn't change, and so neither should the purchasing power. So it's something else.

@dumpsterqueer I wish more projects explicitly stated their opposition to these sorts of events, perhaps that would tear some strips off the (unwarranted) credibility that those events still have to journalists, other people not very familiar with the community, etc.
