@anantagd @oliphaunt @Heidentweet Heel weinig mensen zijn bekend met die geschiedenis, blijkt.
En dan kun je wel zeggen "nou en", maar waar het uiteindelijk om gaat is dat dit voorkomen wordt, en daarvoor is effectieve communicatie belangrijk, dat kun je niet afdoen met "dan moeten ze dat maar leren snappen" als je eigenlijk al weet dat dat zo niet gaat gebeuren.
@johnzajac (Tangential note: it's best to avoid censoring words with asterisks on here, as it'll likely interfere with screenreaders and people's own word filters/mutes)
@anantagd @oliphaunt @Heidentweet Wel accuraat, maar ik denk dat het moeilijk is om mensen ervan te overtuigen die term te gebruiken, zeker omdat een hoop mensen nogal bibberig zijn om intenties toe te schrijven aan fascisten.
Kom ik erg vaak tegen in discussies over dit soort onderwerpen. Dan leg je uit waarom fascisten een probleem zijn, en dan struikelen er een hoop mensen - die toch echt geen fascistische ideologie aanhagen - over het feit dat je direct benoemt wat de intenties van hen zijn, met argumenten als "dat kun je toch niet weten".
@Gaelan Yeah, this is kind of the issue I ran into - I looked into it and everything I found was "now start by downloading Xcode, and..."
It seemed interesting in some ways, but I don't know, it doesn't give me much confidence that it'll be a reliable long-term option when you don't want to play in Apple's walled garden.

I follow a great selection of #maths #teachers on twitter, but most are either not jumping ship or they're going to BlueSky or (yuck) Threads.
I lament their loss from my timeline and feel that if I were to find some more excellent people here I might be able to coax a few over, so...
If you're a teacher...
... especially of maths...
... and especially in the #UK...
I'd love it if you'd make yourself known.
[And if you're not any of these things I'd love it if you'd...
a) Let me know what we _do_ have in common (if you're interested in connecting with me)
b) Boost me in case you have some people who are those things in your networks]

Nobody should have to agree to a commercial entity's terms of service to access state services or participate in democracy
@owl Thanks, hadn't heard of this one before!
I'm not a fan of the syntax and semantics at first glance (bad experiences with readability of single-paradigm strictly-functional languages...) but it does indeed seem to otherwise match what I'm looking for, so I'll give it a closer look anyway.
@lnl Bit more of the explanation for that here: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/112961479818598968
@balrogboogie (Reason: having to wire up a runtime for using some code in the-language-I'm-looking-for would all but guarantee that nobody would use libraries in said language in any codebase that's written in something different, because it looks like a really big pile of complexity. That's mostly a problem of prejudice, but it's still a problem nevertheless)
@balrogboogie Doesn't LuaJIT require basically wiring in a Lua runtime into the 'host' codebase? What I'm thinking of is something that integrates cleanly enough that you could simply hand someone a .so and say "here you go" and it looks like any other C-style library, and similarly 'obvious' integration for other languages.
Wanted: a language that is similarly easy to work with as JS, has automatic memory management, has similar (or better) performance, and whose code can be embedded in codebases in arbitrary other languages (including C/C++) with minimal integration overhead. 
(Note: *all* of the properties must be satisfied. "Most" properties isn't useful here!)

transport operator: i cannot give you the link to our GTFS file but i can give you a file in either json, csv, parquet or excel format that contains 4 cells, 2 header and two values, the second value holds the link to the GTFS file

This is amazing work by @alshafei and team. You can search by company, country and funding entity, and learn things like:
"safeXai is the entity that has quietly resumed the operations of Banjo, a digital surveillance company whose founder, Damien Patton, was a former Ku Klux Klan member who’d participated in a 1990 drive-by shooting of a synagogue near Nashville, Tennessee."

Bakfiets with trailer, the real Dutch 🛻
Perhaps we should be building better developer tools for the people making intricate spreadsheets and repurposed tools, rather than for the people making exploitative platforms, live services and cash grabs
@pascaline Oef, ja, dat is wel wat intenser dan mijn geval. In mijn geval was het alleen maar een onredelijk veeleisende klant.
Wel bijzonder. Heb dat inderdaad nog nooit eerder gehoord! Maar ik snap de keus van die jurist wel helemaal, ethisch gezien is het zeker de juiste keuze geweest.
mention of food
I seem to have an uncanny ability to come downstairs into the kitchen any time food is being made, regardless of what time it is being made at.
Now that might be explainable by smell, if it weren't for the fact that most of these times I'm going downstairs for a very specific reason that is completely unrelated to food!

RIVM, even kort samengevat:
sinds Sars-Cov-2 zijn intree heeft gemaakt verwachten we een hogere sterfte dus vanaf nu is oversterfte (vooralsnog) alleen dat wat daar nog boven zit.
@vlrny Thinking about it a bit more, I guess this could be summarized as "place an ad that asks exactly the thing you're looking for, particularly with the details people wouldn't normally assume".
It'll lower the response rate, but also means the people responding will be those who are already on board with the idea. Saves a lot of spoons in negotiating afterwards.
@pascaline Yep, zelfde verhaal hier. Dan twijfel je toch even, ben ik nu te paranoide? Moet ik ze niet toch een kans geven, en kijken waar het schip strandt?
Maar nee hoor, het liep uit op eindeloos gezeik en onredelijke eisen die buiten het contract gingen, en niet veel later heb ik het contract opgezegd. Had blijkbaar gewoon naar m'n intuitie moeten luisteren 🙂
