I don't think this is getting the coverage it needs. Scottish government to require passivhaus standard for all new build homes. This is big. Really big. Growing out of lessons from the 70's oil crisis. Passivhaus buildings use very little energy to heat, or to cool. We've known how to do this for decades. It's gross negligence from all western governments that the same is not true of all new builds in the developed world.

Zo ontzettend herkenbaar. Een groot deel ook voor vrouwen buiten tech, denk ik.
Ik ben een keer zo hard afgestraft omdat ik mijn gevoelens boven die van een collega plaatste (ze niet opzij zette om de ander een plezier te doen) dat ik ergens nog steeds denk dat ik fout zat, ondanks dat iedereen van buiten de organisatie met wie ik het erover had het op het moment zelf compleet belachelijk vond. Maar ja, dat waren allemaal vrouwen. https://infosec.exchange/@mle/113096597897272967
@hans Huh, dat is gek. Ik wist niet dat die melding ook veroorzaakt kan worden door iets aan de andere kant van de verbinding.
Yes, there are definitely people who are assholes in response to paywalled links.
But do also please be mindful that paywalls, at sufficient scale (which they are reaching), significantly contribute to the wealth divide - those who can afford to access information, versus those who cannot.
(Paywall bypasses do not work reliably and are not *really* a solution to this.)
@pascaline Dat 'door de beheerders afgeschermed' betekent meestal dat een instance gemute is (door de jouwe), maar niet geblokkeerd. Dan kun je mensen op die instance nog wel volgen, maar komen hun posts niet automatisch op je tijdlijn of in je notificaties.
De foutmelding had duidelijker kunnen zijn...

I love living in a society where ever single thing, place, activity, or interaction has to cost money, including stuff you need to live, but acquiring money is made to be as annoying and soul crushing as possible

Love how you can date this introduction text just from its choice of 'popular games'

Designing tube slides in Aqua Mundo is now much easier thanks to these construction lines that tell you where in the world you are building 🙂

Implemented a "wide slide" in Aqua Mundo.
You can choose between individual lanes or one big wide slide, and enable race mode. Still a lot of work to do but I'm happy with the progress so far 😀

@psilocervine Do you happen to have a thread or something like that with more details/specifics?
@clemens Oh hey, I've been using that, nice to see you here :)

Calling for the help of the fediverse!

you know, i'll take the incessant reply guys of fedi over the style of aggro gotchas on twitter/bluesky any day
at least most reply guys are (ineptly) trying to contribute additional information to the discussion rather than just scoring a point in social media debate club by getting one over on you
@alive In practice a lot of 'duplicates' are not *exact* duplicates but rather different issues caused by the same underlying cause, and in that context this model unfortunately doesn't really work either.

Tell me something nerdy that you don't think many people know, but you'd like for more people to know!
I'll go first: the Stargate theme song has lyrics despite those lyrics never being in any opening for the show.
