@gsuberland@chaos.social So does that mean 1mm total thickness increase for the thickness, or 1mm on both sides (ie. 2mm total)?

Morgenochtend 10u in #DenHaag gaan mensen van uiteenlopend politiek pluimage tegen het nieuwe, extreemrechtse kabinet demonstreren! Voor veel mensen eigenlijk wel erg laat, want ik zelf en mijn antifascistische kameraden demonstreren al sinds mensenheugenis tegen #extreemrechts (en sinds 22/11 tegen dit aankomende kabinet). Maar goed, no bad feelings verder; we gaan er een goede demonstratie van maken met z'n allen! 🪧 
Wel één advies voor mensen die niet zo vaak op demonstraties komen: PRAAT NIET met #Powned, #Bender, #UP! Network en #OngehoordNederland! Dit is geen legitieme pers! Het enige wat ze doen is hun items zo verknippen, dat het binnen hun extreemrechtse narratief valt. Een betere term voor deze lui is #haatentertainment. Je hoeft ze niet te slaan, maar wel negeren en als ze echt lastig worden, ze met zachte hand uit de demonstratie verwijderen. Veel succes!

@gsuberland@chaos.social Is there some documentation somewhere on what a normal degree of swelling is for battery types? For future reference
Things done today:
- Installed new towel rack (whoo, turns out it's screw-compatible with the old one! I hate drilling into concrete)
- Installed clingfilm/tinfoil dispenser on kitchen wall (and fucked up the screw spacing, hence the screw movers)
- Installed the new toilet seat (not yet sure whether it is actually an ergonomic improvement over the old broken one)
Definitely glad to finally be getting some home improvement stuff done. Various cabinets etc. arriving tomorrow so I can finally tidy up stuff that has so far lived mostly on the floor
(Also yes, I've been away taking a break from fedi and Matrix, and will likely resume doing so soon)
Today's design: a 'screw mover' for correcting the positioning of screw holes that are just *slightly* off, enough to be a problem, but not so far that you could just drill a new hole next to it.

palestine +
as a result of the months-long student encampment for palestine at swansea university, the uni has agreed to divest 5 million from barclays bank ❤️💚🤍🖤
when they hold banner drops on the bridge over the big road, all the traffic beeps in support too <3
re: hot take, subtoot
This applies doubly so for *security* advice, which is what this is originally subtooting.
hot take, subtoot
If you defend bad advice in an article with "it's just boilerplate", you're just confirming that the advice is bad, actually.
Don't give authoritative-sounding advice if you understand the subject so poorly that you have to resort to boilerplate.

politics
@ainmosni @Anke That's collectivism vs. individualism; though those map very closely onto egalitarian vs. hierarchical, because the purpose of individualism is to gain an advantage over others (which is a goal provided by hierarchy) whereas the purpose of collectivism is to collectively move ahead everyone's well-being (which is an egalitarian measure).
Cases of individualism masquerading as collectivism notwithstanding (eg. authoritarian 'communist' governments).
politics
@ainmosni @Anke I mean, this may end up being a definitional issue, but by the only definition I've ever found that makes sense (left = egalitarian, right = hierarchical), bigotry *has* to exist on some level for right-wing ideology to function, because there needs to be a 'lesser' class of people for a 'justified' hierarchy to be able to exist.
@fenandaj@mstdn.social (Om wat specifieker te zijn: "iedereen kan een dader worden" is een belangrijk inzicht voor mensen persoonlijk, om zichzelf niet te vrijwaren - terwijl "de meeste mensen deugen" een belangrijk inzicht is voor hoe je met mensen in gesprek gaat en gezonde gemeenschappen bouwt, zeker als activist)
@fenandaj@mstdn.social Ik vind de framing van dat artikel persoonlijk erg jammer.
De redeneringen an sich kloppen; de dynamiek van leiders en volgelingen, de verschillende motivaties, dat dit iets is waar iedereen in kan vallen, dat klopt allemaal.
Maar vervolgens probeert het dat te contrasteren tegen het boek van Bregman, alsof daarin wordt beweerd dat de meeste mensen goed zijn en geen kwaad kunnen doen - maar dat beweert het helemaal niet! Sterker nog, het benoemt expliciet dat dat niet het geval is.
Zowel "iedereen kan een dader worden" als "de meeste mensen hebben niet de *intentie* om dat te doen" zijn belangrijk inzichten om systemische problemen op te kunnen lossen, en het is wat mij betreft niet zinvol om ze (zoals dit artikel doet) tegenover elkaar te zetten... ze vullen elkaar aan.

I swear fedi is the only place on the internet where I regularly see shit like:
"CW: software development, open source, kink, nsfw, drugs"
and I absolutely love it

thinking of how formerly open source corporate like Red Hat or HashiCorp are migrating to more restrictive licenses because they don't want the Big 5 to appropriate their labour, while FOSS people still reject ethical and anti-capitalist licenses in favour of Freedom 0 dogma, even after being repeatedly backstabbed by Apple, Google etc. and after watching their free labour bankroll the likes of Anduril or the IDF.
