kitchen organization, features many dried shelf stabel foods and spices
Look at all my spices and shelf stable food storage too! I put so much effort into my ADHD friendly kitchen, so I can always find EVERYTHING. The only thing missing is shelf labels, but every container in my kitchen is labeled and visible.
Order brings me so much joy. Please excuse the mess. Tomorrow is cleaning day. I was just so happy today 
@domo Okay, I guess ours has a knob: https://www.lidl.nl/p/silvercrest-kitchen-tools-contactgrill/p100371987
@domo Whoa. That Philips contact grill looks virtually identical to the Silvercrest one we just got like a week ago.
You know, this whole thing wouldn't have been an issue at all if they'd simply given it a different extension, to make it visually clear that it only permits a restricted subset of Nix.
But apparently nothing was learned from the existing mountain of footguns.
I am so incredibly tired of this shit.
I am so incredibly tired of this shit.
So I just learned that apparently flake.nix files aren't actually proper Nix files, despite having a .nix extension, and that they introduce additional syntactic restrictions.
Not type checks on the evaluation result - *syntactic* restrictions. A flake.nix that consists solely of an import of a valid flake under another filename, would be invalid, even though it would be identical value-wise to the valid flake itself.
Great. Because what Nix sorely needed was definitely more hidden footguns!
@Dee That is not a type of grass

Internet friends! Soon my UCSC email will be limited to 500 MB of storage. This is an important inbox as it has all my academic life.
What’s the best way to archive it in a searchable way and set it up so that it stays below 500 MB. Auto forwarding?

People who oppose anarchy be like:
"People cannot be trusted to govern themselves, but one or a few persons can easily be trusted to govern hundreds of millions of other people."
It's insulting that we're considered incapable of making our own decisions, yet we're expected to trust in the wisdom of those who hold power.
Perhaps it's time to reevaluate the notion that people need to be governed, and instead, explore systems that foster collective autonomy and mutual aid.

Uspol, ICE, Musk, Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush
Yep. ICE was created under Bush but then maintained under every president afterwards, including the democrats. Obama and Biden could have stopped it, but they didn't. That was a choice.

one thing it really loves about fedi and its alt text culture is that one can find super obscure posts within seconds because the shit is just indexed

As it's Friday (here at least) can all you webdevs do me a favour and make this simple code change:
1. Search for `aria-labeledby` in your codebases.
2. Change it to `aria-labelledby` (note the double L)
3. Submit a PR.
4. Congratulate yourself for your Friday contribution.
@eloy It's small enough that it leaves a lot of space to fill with management overhead

btw here are the options you need if you want to use ffmpeg to only mux (to change metadata or stream order or w/e):
-map_metadata 0 -map_chapters 0 -map 0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s copy

I'm glad to see that the meme of Teslas as "nazi cars" or "swasticars" is taking hold
musings about 'democracy' (2)
And to clarify, this is about the *institution* of democracy, and how a society should be organized to achieve its goals, the idea that people have of how a "democracy" is actually achieved.
It's not about one's personal choice to vote, which is a completely separate consideration - the system is as the system is today.

Dear politicians
If you are trying to court the progressive vote
It is your job to get us excited about the progressive things you're doing or will do
That's your job, you don't have any other jobs, that's it
If you're playing "progressive policy chicken" with your constituents by seeing how little you can offer us while we still vote for you out of fear of the alternative, you're doing it extremely wrong
