#OH: a transfem card costs 49eur in germany i think
@Sh41 @aral That's their problem, though, and they shouldn't make their ignorance the problem of marginalized folks. The effect is the same regardless of whether it's with malice or not.
By all means, if you can afford the time and energy, try and turn people around, because yes, it's often possible. But it's not a thing you can expect of anyone else, and it's not helpful to raise it as a 'defense' against this sort of criticism.
re: Neil Gaiman
@afewbugs It doesn't make the problem you describe any less real, of course, and there are much longer conversations that can be had about "watching things from shitty creators" in general, but perhaps piracy could serve as an individual immediate-term solution?
@Qyriad@chaos.social (I've long been experiencing browser-breaking issues about once a day with Firefox, often seems like some kind of internal IPC process crashes and some UI / notification integration / set of tabs / whatever just freezes up permanently, but that's been true in X11 and remains true under Wayland, and has been a problem for years now)
@Qyriad@chaos.social Firefox has been giving me trouble since forever, previously under KWin X11, but under KWin Wayland it has grown a new failure mode - constant intermittent <1 sec freezes of the (UI/page) rendering (sound and background processes not affected), and occasional total hangs of videos on YouTube until I refresh the page or change the video stream. NixOS stable with amdgpu.
re: CW-boost: nlpol
@bananas I wonder if we might actually end up beating Liz Truss

I don't think we're allowed to make fun of Belgian politics anymore, going forward
@kescher Apparently Network Solutions suspended their domain due to a bodged phishing complaint, and is not responding to attempts to get it unsuspended...
which is pretty hilarious considering it's very likely that HE folks and Network Solutions folks have likely literally sat next to each other at some conference table in the past, I don't understand how they could fuck that one up
re: LLM-meuk
@bananas For what it's worth, this is almost guaranteed to be the outcome of such a case in NL as well. The law is pretty clear that if a corporation chooses unreliable spokespeople, that's the corporation's problem.

@ktemkin ..and if we change the room number, it shows the checkin information for that room instead :p

Ligt het aan mij of is deze tekst (en vele andere productteksten op de Gamma-site) gegenereerd met een LLM? https://www.gamma.nl/assortiment/suki-masker-voor-filters/p/B113252

“Ik weet het niet. Het is een soort guilty pleasure. Alleen hoef je je er niet schuldig over te voelen en dat het nou een pleasure is kan ik ook niet echt zeggen.”
Oh, also:
- Put together and installed two desks, for the other creatures in this house
Home improvement update log, since last post:
- Put together and installed several cabinets (finally! storage!)
- Installed a fake plant for decoration (helpfully, those don't die)
- Replaced the shower head pin with one that isn't decaying and half hanging out of the wall (this required dealing with expired wall filler)
- Replaced the vibration dampening for my air conditioner with washing machine dampeners, which turns out to work much better than my previous homebrew styrofoam solution
I've seen a lot of odd choices in GDPR implementation, but "the privacy policy is a Vimeo-hosted video" is a new one to me

Last week ago I saw someone use e14n instead of enshittification and thought it was the funniest thing ever, a way to somehow make the term even shittier.

#Covid’s going nuts again. Time to bring my #Aranet4 indoor air quality posts back. I’m in Monterey to photograph 4th of July festivities. I’ve been in 2 restaurants today, both with CO2 readings of below 600.
This one is a small Japanese cafe that’s almost filled to capacity. With 24 people in this smallish space, the CO2 reading is 540. I was standing for 5 minutes deep in the restaurant when the reading was recorded.
Just one door and a commercial kitchen hood can refresh the air at an amazing pace. This place had 2 cross vented doors and a hood.
Most *casual* restaurants I’ve measured have far better air quality when semi-full than a typical office. If you choose a crowded house party over a restaurant during a Covid wave, you may be choosing the higher risk.
Most people will choose to take risks, including most people reading this. Learn to choose the less risky option.
For reference, the outdoor CO2 on this day reads at 450. 540 in a small crowded cafe is very good considering.

Deze bus gaat naar Nieuwegein City. Voor mij heeft dat dezelfde vibe als Boerenkoolstronkeradeel Grand Central Station
