And yes, I have the pictures and paper cuts from newspapers to show them. Their faces light up when they see them. They wonder why I did what I did. They don't always agree. But those are the best discussions we have, discussions that bring us together. Totally worth it. Get on the streets, friends and followers. Not just for your kids. But for every kid out there, looking for a way to channel their rage and dissatisfaction.
Dear young parents. My kids are in their 20s. You know what impresses them most? What they keep on asking about? The stories of my political activism. How I joined protests when I was their age and even younger. How I organised protests and political influence when they were still shitting their diapers. This is why they are active too. Why they are alert when things change. So here's my advice to you, young parents: protest. Get out. Your kids will be proud of you and will become active too.
The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.
@pascaline @JDGooiker Nou ja, doorgaans hebben fabrieken machines die gekke deeltjes herkennen, zoals metaal of steentjes, alles wat niet in eten thuishoort zeg maar.
Volgens Tony Chocolonely was het probleem dat ze van leverancier waren geswitcht voor de amandelen, en dat daar dus steentjes inzaten die de machine niet kon herkennen om e.o.a. reden. Misschien kan het zo zijn dat de machine om dezelfde reden ook metaaldeeltjes niet kon herkennen, in de repen voor de Aldi? Als ze inderdaad van dezelfde fabrikant zijn.
@pascaline @JDGooiker De timing is wel opvallend. Zou het hetzelfde probleem zijn (machine herkende de vreemde objecten niet) maar dan met andere rommel erin uit een andere partij amandelen?
PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!
Please #boost and share to other platforms.🙏I don’t have energy left (see below).
Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.
👉Last year:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2024/05/03/me-cfs-anna-australia/
Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.
If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.
👉A year later:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/04/01/anna-severe-me-cfs/
I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.
Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!
Is anybody an #advocate? I desperately need help.
I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.🙏
Please read articles for full information.
Thank you for reading.

@pascaline Ze zeggen "kleine steentjes" maar volgens de pagina op Tony's Chocolonely's website zijn ze dus tussen de 6mm en 13mm... dat kan bijna anderhalve centimeter zijn!
Ook opvallend is dat een paar dagen eerder de kloon van de Aldi ook teruggeroepen is, maar dan om stukjes metaal: https://www.productwaarschuwing.nl/2025/03/terugroepactie-aldi-choco-changer-karamel-zeezout/
@navi @mynameistillian Oh and I think the strikes against Tesla in Sweden are still ongoing and expanding, to other unions (I think their trash isn't getting picked up anymore?) as well as neighbouring countries
White people talking about anti-blackness
Y'all, I know we've learned the terms "white passing" and "colorism", etc. and there are appropriate times for us to bring them up. For instance, when discussing who is given opportunities and why: it's important to understand the realities, and it's important to communicate those to others.
But if you find yourself making determinations about who is "white passing" and what that should mean to people in Black communities, back the fuck up.
@navi @mynameistillian And also their dealerships and chargers are constantly being set on fire, and their sales in EU have dropped (and continue to drop) by hilarious percentages despite the overall EV industry sales trending up
@rail_ FWIW, the data retention laws in the EU have been struck down multiples times in courts, this seems to be the latest iteration of that: https://www.blueprintforfreespeech.net/en/news/eu-court-rules-users-data-cant-be-collected-by-isps-for-surveillance
So it appears that at least within the EU, you cannot actually be forced to keep logs even for law enforcement purposes
@eloy @mroach On some points, especially security, yeah. On other points... I'm not quite so sure.
Flash things didn't typically mysteriously freeze for several seconds mid-interaction, and Flash (the authoring software) made a lot of creative work accessible to a degree that the current generation of software doesn't really.
I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.
To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."

There's nothing in there yet except for dirt, compost and vermiculite - but I'll probably be putting some lettuce in there soon, if nothing else.
Cleared out some more invasive vines in the garden, and moved my flat greenhouse thingem to a new location! #gardening
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.
