White people talking about anti-blackness
Y'all, I know we've learned the terms "white passing" and "colorism", etc. and there are appropriate times for us to bring them up. For instance, when discussing who is given opportunities and why: it's important to understand the realities, and it's important to communicate those to others.
But if you find yourself making determinations about who is "white passing" and what that should mean to people in Black communities, back the fuck up.
@navi @mynameistillian And also their dealerships and chargers are constantly being set on fire, and their sales in EU have dropped (and continue to drop) by hilarious percentages despite the overall EV industry sales trending up
@rail_ FWIW, the data retention laws in the EU have been struck down multiples times in courts, this seems to be the latest iteration of that: https://www.blueprintforfreespeech.net/en/news/eu-court-rules-users-data-cant-be-collected-by-isps-for-surveillance
So it appears that at least within the EU, you cannot actually be forced to keep logs even for law enforcement purposes
@eloy @mroach On some points, especially security, yeah. On other points... I'm not quite so sure.
Flash things didn't typically mysteriously freeze for several seconds mid-interaction, and Flash (the authoring software) made a lot of creative work accessible to a degree that the current generation of software doesn't really.
En, zou er dit jaar met 4 mei met een woord gerept worden over de nieuwe opmars van fascisme, of gaan we allemaal weer doen alsof vrijheid voor altijd verworven is?

I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.
To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."

There's nothing in there yet except for dirt, compost and vermiculite - but I'll probably be putting some lettuce in there soon, if nothing else.
Cleared out some more invasive vines in the garden, and moved my flat greenhouse thingem to a new location! #gardening
@lilyvanilla Which one did you get?
@gsuberland@chaos.social To be clear, I use the phrase 'raised beds' but it's a little different from your usual (high-effort, robust, solid) raised beds; because you basically never interact with the soil it doesn't need to be rigid or robust, so sticking a bunch of branches into the ground to create a 'fence' that holds back the soil (maybe with a little metal wire around the whole thing) is pretty much enough to tick the box 🙂
(That may still be too much effort for you, just wanted to make it clear that I don't mean the fancy nice-wood things you usually see as raised beds)
@gsuberland@chaos.social Something really neat in the 'low-effort gardening' category that I ran across recently, is the "keyhole garden" - basically raised beds in a circle around a compost heap in the middle, with a cut-out so that you can reach it.
Toss your food and garden waste into the compost bin, along with a bunch of water, and it'll seep into all the adjacent garden beds by itself over time, no further maintenance or attention required.
It's usually used for vegetable gardens but I don't see why it couldn't also be used for other kinds of plants!

There are some design choices made by Trenitalia for the interior that make little sense
Worst: luggage space. Most carriages have no rack for large bags at all! What were they thinking?
They don’t sell 2 seats per carriage as a temporary solution for this

Sorry if this makes me a lazy leech on society or whatever but I think we should chuck the Puritan work ethic, hustle culture, grindset mindset, all of that crap. I think people should have time for rest, leisure, self care, family, friends, and civic engagement. We should be letting people enjoy life, not expect them to spend every waking hour working for the sake of work because idle hands do the devil's work or whatever modern paint job you want to put on that 400 year old bullshit.

NixOS community/governance
Well, at least the SC did *something* against the fascist arms manufacturer recruiting on the forums, but again with the both-sidesism and the seeming deathly afraid of doing anything that might be deemed 'unfair' by fascists.
It's almost as if this is an entirely predictable outcome when you try to emulate a nation state in your governance structure and refuse to settle on any actual value system!

Er is veel groot leed in de wereld. Maar (gelukkig?) ook heel veel klein leed! De komende dagen ben ik op zoek naar het kleinste kleine leed. #annaWilGraagWeten
Als een van deze dingen je moet overkomen, welke moet het dan maar zijn? Wat is het minst erg?

koreapol coup judicial +++ caps
THEY FIRED HIM OH THANK GOD there we were, a crowd of hundred thousand easily, cheering or groaning along with every word of the decision as it was read. We watched as all the shitty failed dictator's specious defenses were dismissed and his attempted destruction of democratic order condemned, and he was fired from office at exactly 11:22 am when the order was read 😭
Then we immediately partied and marched in the streets to celebrate victory!! I'm so relieved and it's such a weight off, oh God. I've been singing, shouting, and walking for over an hour and both the nervous and joyous energy have burned off at last. Whew! We've been so anxious over this for so long, it's like a dream 💖
