In Enschede zijn twee woningen van woningcorporatie Domijn gekraakt nadat de corporatie deze woningen vijf (vijf! VIJF! 5!) jaar leeg had laten staan.
De krakers zullen wel weer ontruimd worden, maar de schande ligt bij corporatie Domijn.

Oh hey my instance and I are being impersonated.
I recommend blocking cloudisland.online
Thanks everyone! Looks like the instance went offline pretty quickly, but you should still suspend the domain in case it comes back.
"left as an exercise for the reader", ie. "I didn't feel like finishing this part of the article"
@gsuberland@chaos.social Likewise, House Flipper is absurdly relaxing to play.
@gsuberland@chaos.social Let's hope the batteries themselves have less race conditions than their logistics system
@charlotte That would be indistinguishable from most Discourse on the topic

I’m going to tell you the story of the man who solved a crime.
Not, like, a cop who put together the clues and got his man, but a person who took a crime as old as civilization and fixed the problem where it got you in trouble.
The man: Artur Virgílio Alves Reis.
The place: 1920s Portugal.
The crime: Counterfeiting.
The problem he fixed: That the money is counterfeit.
(This is going to be a long 🧵 . Just trust me.)
A question for folks who *aren't* developers:
What would be the most important things/qualities for you in a website/page builder? Specifically, in the kind of builder that lets you build in some limited amount of interactivity (like forum functionality).
Developers, sit this one out please. Boosting is of course appreciated, though.

@jdp23 @Quinnae_Moon@wandering.shop Huh, thanks! I wasn't aware of the Tumblr thing at all. I'll have to look into that more deeply.
@ben What'd I miss?
@BioFris@mastodon.nl Klinkt alsof het een Twitter-bridge is?
@stephen @eevee @SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe @aral And to be more specific about what I mean: you are making light of people complaining that "someone else does something with it that they don't like", as if that is somehow a ridiculous thing to do.
People are *correct* to complain about that. The problem here are not the people doing the complaining; the problem are the people doing the misuse.
@stephen @eevee @SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe @aral That's the problem though, you're not just talking about "this is how you stay safe" (which I imagine other abused folks already know from experience).
You're presenting it as if this is in any way a normal or acceptable situation, specifically as a rebuttal to "people should stop being abusive". *That* is what makes it apologia.
@patcharcana@furry.engineer Hmm, not sure what you mean with third-party DNS issues? Every VPS provider I've ever used pretty much *expects* you to use DNS services from elsewhere.
(I'm quite happy with various providers including Afterburst and PHP-Friends, though neither are the cheapest *possible* providers, for that you should probably have a look at LowEndSpirit)

Voorts ben ik van mening dat de strijd voor klimaatrechtvaardigheid verder geëscaleerd dient te worden.
@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk @zkat That's the most important part IMO, loudly maintaining the culture of it being unacceptable, and not letting the "but it's inevitable anyway, that's the way of progress" crowd take over the narrative.
That way there will still *be* people to work on more effective defenses if and when they become necessary.

I often say that election security is by far the hardest technical problem I've ever encountered. Why? Four reasons:
1) Contradictory critical requirements, particularly vote secrecy vs. transparency.
2) No truly neutral trusted third parties.
3) Election do-overs are generally impossible, so the ability to merely detect problems is insufficient. You have to reliably prevent them.
4) Much of the technology than can manage the complexity of elections is inherently untrustworthy.

I'm also equally exhausted from the people who write about school "abolition" and somehow still think we need silos for kids, teens, and young adults and to segregate learning from living.
Or the academic anarchists who "focus on pedagogy" and somehow still think their positions as academics should exist. That's also fun.
