Ideal for you Phillips PC or WAP access over CSD.
subtoot, racism
For fucks sake, how fucking racist-brained do you need to be to respond to a toot about Teslas being exceptionally unsafe with "Just a reminder that half of all Teslas come from China" and nothing else

explanation
@domo (There's going to be a couple of cases like this in Dutch, btw, where an established name for a group of things or people is treated as a singular object - they're *technically* not uncountable nouns, I believe, but they behave like them for the purpose of grammar)
boost to scare a thunderbird developer
@linus Ah, I have something similar in my Thunderbird, and it is also the Github notifications folder 😅

Went caving in Wales with @hugh yesterday. Turns out it was just an elaborate plan to rickroll me. Quite physically exhausting but 10/10 would recommend 
explanation
@domo A singular cop would be a "politieagent" (or, colloquially and more commonly, "agent", as that word is rarely used for anything else anyway), and so the plural would be "politieagenten" or "agenten".
@venite "Dat is extreem veel geld, maar zoveel is er geïnvesteerd."
Wat een onzinargument ook. Je hebt gewoon jarenlang kunnen profiteren van die investeringen, dus dan moet je niet ineens proberen om de hele investering terug te claimen. Kom op nou.
explanation
@domo In Dutch, "politie" refers to the institution rather than being the plural of cop. It's an uncountable noun of sorts, and therefore uses singular forms of verbs.

I hate the "talk about emergencies" section of Duolingo because its so copaganda heavy.

concept: a show like ramsay's kitchen nightmares, but about software instead
"i'm at spunkchute, a SaaS company that owes $2 million to AWS and is on the brink of closure”
"oh my [bleep] god. the main database server is running Ubuntu 8.04 and has two backdoors and a coin miner. SHUT. IT. DOWN.”

@HeavenlyPossum @junglecat_rant Even in a not-anarchist left-wing antiauthoritarian context, horizontality is generally speaking a good thing.
Instead of power being held at the top of a vertical hierarchy, it would be distributed widely closer to those whom are most directly affected by political decisions.
Anarchism just takes this idea one step further, to rid the hierarchy of the state in its entirety.
This is the opposite idea of empowering a few power hoarding masters.

What value do tech columnists and podcasters and writers to the table who just follow every hype? Not for corporations but for you? Why are so many still reading and listening to that kind of drivel?
@sterophonick Most likely not; sites can't access any data about other sites by design (they're isolated for security reasons) so there's not really a way for one site to know whether stuff is playing elsewhere.
It *is* possible to synchronize such information between different pages on the same site; I believe that's usually done through service workers. And if you're the one embedding the YT player on your own page, I think it has some events you can listen to too, though it's been ages since I've looked at that.
@domo Who said art can't be practical, I guess 😅
(I don't have a car and the nearest Action is over in Den Bosch, so I regularly have to resort to trickery like this!)
@StroomAfwaarts It *was* very easy to knock over 😅 But as long as you concentrate all the weight in the bike bags, that helps quite a lot to keep things reasonably stable, by moving down the center of mass
I think I have enough planting boxes for now. Probably.
I'm still kind of surprised to find locally-manufactured(!), 100%-recycled-plastic planting boxes at a discount store for this little money. Apparently it *is* financially possible after all.
@ai6yr (In this case, the orange bungee cord that runs through the center between the blue ones, uses that trick to attach to the *other* orange bungee cord that goes horizontally, and prevents it from slipping under the bin, which would have made it useless for holding stuff in place)
