i'm not even a front end dev I do both about equally but even the language i do backend in will just get lumped in with "frontend language bad"

lol i absolutely do not 'have to get covid at some point'

git barely works because my adhd makes me work on 1984104812 things at the same time, in the same codebase, usually depending on each other too

@StroomAfwaarts @joepie91 Actually, Code Rood / Shell Must Fall did that in May 2021. Renting a truck with a wrecking ball (see photo) when protesting at the Shell HQ in The Hague. The police didn't do anything, so I think you are on to something. 😉

Update: farmers are blocking the highways *again*. Cops still refusing the do anything about it. Instead, they arrested 22 climate activists doing a peaceful sit-in at a tax authority office.

@maia Yep, works with a lot of debt collectors too! Bonus tactic: call them, and be perfectly polite yet assertive and formal, never yelling at them but also never accepting what they say, and eventually you're costing them so much support time that they'll just strike your debt to get rid of you

@maia Moral of the story: yes, an 18 year old doing legalese shitposting at lawyers is absolutely a viable way to deal with baseless legal threats

@maia Oh yeah and I just kept replying to their formal legalese letters with similar legalese bullshit via e-mail that boiled down to "lol. fuck off", eventually threatening to sue them for harassment if they continued contacting me

The next letter I got was from a different lawyer office entirely, and it was the last one I received, and nothing ever came of it

@maia I'm reminded of a little conflict I had with a company when I was 18, who demanded that I took down my hobby project because it was eating their userbase

Eventually they tried to basically acquihire me. After repeatedly threatening me with legal action. You'd think that they understand that that's not really the correct order if you want someone on your side, and yet

one day i will do a conference talk on how to as effectively as possible fuck with corporate lawyers and waste their time + corpo resources without consequences but i don't think now is the time yet

@f0x "Deterministically broken" is definitely a level above the usual printer fare :blobcatupsidedown:

nl pol, police violence 

So in NL, leftist/climate/social/etc. activists consistently get beaten up by police and arrested overnight to break up protests, with zero recourse or consequences

Meanwhile a bunch of nazi-adjacent farmers in tractors have been blocking highways all day today, endangering drivers, and issuing explicit threats of violence to politicians, and the police are "in talks with them" and "do not have the capacity to break it up"

@f0x Well that's where the cheap stackable whiteboards from emergency Action trips come in :D

@f0x By the way, completely unrelated, did you know that action has very cheap stackable whiteboards action.com/nl-nl/p/magnetisch-

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Now I'm thinking about a keyboard that's just all trackpoints, one between every key
