For those not familiar: the Zune theme was a theme released by Microsoft for Windows XP, to promote their (ultimately failed) line of MP3 players.

Crucially, it was released late, relatively obscure, and most developers wouldn't have known about its existence. From a QA perspective, it effectively functioned as a third-party theme despite being published by Microsoft.

People be claiming that "it's just not possible to have a UI toolkit that's both reliable and themeable outside of core OS styles" and yet none of them ever seem to mention the XP Zune theme which did precisely that

The exact method of shutdown is left as an exercise to the reader, of course. Pretty big solution space there.

This is why you don't negotiate with capitalists. You either regulate them or, failing that, you shut them down by force.

@threeofswords I realized recently that I really miss people CWing food. Not that I care about food, but a lot of people don't know they're talking about diet culture and weight loss, they just think they're talking about food!

So without those CWs, I get exposed to a lot more toxic and triggering stuff. :(

@StroomAfwaarts That *would* have been my first guess if they'd actually consistently put all the chemicals together - which they didn't, because all the lubricants and oils are in a completely different place. Which I looked for near the paint section last time I was there...

CHALMERS: You know, this email is quite similar to the ones companies send out when they've had a security breach.

SKINNER: Ohohoho, no! This is just a normal precautionary password reset. Old company tradition! Mmm, password reset!

I also definitely noticed that my queer only posts get much more traction than anything related to fatness or ableism bc as a whole the left doesn't care about about body liberation either. Regardless of if it's due to genetics, illness, injury, or poverty, the left cannot bring itself to care about disability and advocating for accessibility for all of the kinds of disability not just the ones you personally deem acceptable🤷‍♀️

I swear, the local hardware store *deliberately* puts everything in the most illogical place possible. I can never find anything on the first try there.

@bugbear@tech.lgbt @fediblock@mastodon.art (This sort of thing is why the GDPR is entirely about grounds for *processing*, rather than classifying the data itself as being public vs. private)

@bugbear@tech.lgbt @fediblock@mastodon.art It being "public data" does not make it exempt from the GDPR. Data processing in the GDPR is generally based on either consent or a technical need to provide a requested service, and neither apply here.

So that means that even if the data is 'public' from a technical perspective, this is probably still unauthorized processing of that data - and *very clearly so* if it even ignores opt-out flags.

Vragen aan het OM, plus: Opruiing!

Slot:

"Hoe dan ook! Ik hou maar vast met van alles rekening, terwijl ik nogmaals oproep om

– mee te doen aan de XR-blokkade van de A12 in Den Haag, zaterdag 11 maart om 12 uur;(6)

– deel te nemen aan de kolentrein-blokkades die Kappen met Kolen keer op keer op touw zet.(7)

Tot ziens allemaal, op de blokkades, en elders in de strijd! En kom maar op, verachtelijk Openbaar Ministerie met je bewapende doch bespottelijke politiemacht, kom maar op. Maar weet waar je aan begint."
