@helle From what I've heard about the way that COVID safety measures were approached internally by some orga, the reason seems likely to be "having air quality graphs would mean acknowledging that this is our responsibility"
There's apparently been resistance to even the most basic safety measures to a degree that I find it difficult to believe it was just overlooked or 'too much work'

I wonder why #37c3 doesn't have an indoor weather network. We get nice graphs for c3noc, but I want CO2, PM10, RH% and °C. Would help people with COVID-19 awareness and how mediocre the ventilation here at CCH really is.
Can we at least get this like next year, as COVID-19 won't be gone.

The most insidious thing about racism on Mastodon is how it is done in such a way that the majority-white user base never sees it. I don't think that it's simply a matter of white people not seeing what they don't want to see - at least in the vast majority of cases.
So when a non-white person discusses the racism they see as a user of Mastodon, it must feel like gaslighting when white people respond with "What do you mean? I've not seen anything like that here."
re: geklaag over journalisme, drugsproductie
@StroomAfwaarts Maar dan zou ik van een journalist dus verwachten dat die dieper in het onderwerp duikt en bepaalt waarom dat *nu, ineens* een probleem is en niet in de afgelopen paar decennia.
Ik heb wel zo mijn vermoedens, maar dit is gewoon de taak van een journalist om uit te zoeken en over te schrijven, want dan kan bijvoorbeeld ander beleid gestuurd worden om dit te voorkomen.

dont feel bad for using your local library and its services if you have a good local library system. literally use the hell out of its services if you can, it gives them justification to keep getting funding

@ABScientist Het is dan wel weer jammer dat dat stuk de dubieuze en achterhaalde "het komt door de mobieltjes"-theorie aanhaalt...

"Het risico voor journalisten is enorm. Het gaat dan vooral om journalisten die niet werken voor een grote krant of nieuwszender. Denk aan freelancers, of journalisten met een eigen blog, of zelfs activisten die zich richten op nieuwsvergaring, zonder zich journalist te noemen. Hoe duidelijk is de grens te leggen tussen activisme en journalisme? En hoe sterk staan deze mensen in hun schoenen als aangifte tegen ze wordt gedaan, of als er een schadeclaim op de mat ploft?"

@smveerman Ik vind het altijd wel jammer dat die dingen zo relatief duur zijn :/
@smveerman TIL that these still exist!

geklaag over journalisme, drugsproductie
"Waarom is Nederland ineens zo populair voor de productie van crystal meth? Het lijkt erop dat criminelen ontdekt hebben dat Nederland een handige doorvoerhaven is."
Ok, maar dat is dus geen antwoord op de vraag, beste journalisten. Die haven ligt er al een tijdje, en die producenten zijn ook niet van gisteren. Dus *wat* is dan precies de oorzaak van de plotselinge verandering?
@hazelnot I have this problem even with most newer transport simulators tbh, they rarely hold up to OpenTTD for me

It's kind of depressing how it's just not widely understood among programmers that "people are going to lie to you to try and sell you things", and so entire organizations get built on shit tech with slick salespeople out of sheer naivete

A PSA, do you have an old hard drive? Was that hard drive used at some point to play #RuneScape? A project needs your help. Help them find old versions and preserve it https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/18p6ufp/comment/keni57j/ #retrocomputing (Idk if you have images or hard drives that old) #videogames
