@alina I take full responsibility for the horror that I have created :p
@alina Nope, BuyVM - but this is a really cursed setup (LV that glues together local disk and network attached storage for root fs) so it's probably not quite the provider's fault
@navi I made a similar choice around the same time, and it's remarkable how well it can work, and how quickly you become uninteresting as a target once someone realizes this...
Okay, getting I/O errors and a readonly-remounted filesystem on a VPS is definitely a first for me...

And yes, I have the pictures and paper cuts from newspapers to show them. Their faces light up when they see them. They wonder why I did what I did. They don't always agree. But those are the best discussions we have, discussions that bring us together. Totally worth it. Get on the streets, friends and followers. Not just for your kids. But for every kid out there, looking for a way to channel their rage and dissatisfaction.

Dear young parents. My kids are in their 20s. You know what impresses them most? What they keep on asking about? The stories of my political activism. How I joined protests when I was their age and even younger. How I organised protests and political influence when they were still shitting their diapers. This is why they are active too. Why they are alert when things change. So here's my advice to you, young parents: protest. Get out. Your kids will be proud of you and will become active too.

Crappy 50th anniversary to Microsoft, may your cake be moldy and may the candles set off the halon system you forgot to decommission

The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.
@pascaline @JDGooiker Nou ja, doorgaans hebben fabrieken machines die gekke deeltjes herkennen, zoals metaal of steentjes, alles wat niet in eten thuishoort zeg maar.
Volgens Tony Chocolonely was het probleem dat ze van leverancier waren geswitcht voor de amandelen, en dat daar dus steentjes inzaten die de machine niet kon herkennen om e.o.a. reden. Misschien kan het zo zijn dat de machine om dezelfde reden ook metaaldeeltjes niet kon herkennen, in de repen voor de Aldi? Als ze inderdaad van dezelfde fabrikant zijn.
@pascaline @JDGooiker De timing is wel opvallend. Zou het hetzelfde probleem zijn (machine herkende de vreemde objecten niet) maar dan met andere rommel erin uit een andere partij amandelen?

Currently have a vegan currywurst meal in the microwaven oven.
Unfortunately, it appears to be violating the laws of thermodynamics. I should not be measuring 25 celsius in one spot and 60+ celsius 2cm away

PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!
Please #boost and share to other platforms.🙏I don’t have energy left (see below).
Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.
👉Last year:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2024/05/03/me-cfs-anna-australia/
Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.
If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.
👉A year later:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/04/01/anna-severe-me-cfs/
I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.
Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!
Is anybody an #advocate? I desperately need help.
I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.🙏
Please read articles for full information.
Thank you for reading.

@pascaline Ze zeggen "kleine steentjes" maar volgens de pagina op Tony's Chocolonely's website zijn ze dus tussen de 6mm en 13mm... dat kan bijna anderhalve centimeter zijn!
Ook opvallend is dat een paar dagen eerder de kloon van de Aldi ook teruggeroepen is, maar dan om stukjes metaal: https://www.productwaarschuwing.nl/2025/03/terugroepactie-aldi-choco-changer-karamel-zeezout/
@navi @mynameistillian Oh and I think the strikes against Tesla in Sweden are still ongoing and expanding, to other unions (I think their trash isn't getting picked up anymore?) as well as neighbouring countries

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
