@Timo_Micro Sowieso een beetje een sigaar uit eigen doos, nadat de (vorige) overheid al dit soort verantwoordelijkheden naar het gemeentelijk niveau verschoven heeft...

Something that keeps bothering me is how there's seemingly no good answers in UI design.
There's high variation in whether people find light or dark themes easier to read. Familiar UI is easier to adopt, but restricts the ability to experiment with new UI mechanisms that could exceed familiarity's benefit in how much easier something becomes to use.
And so the logical conclusion of those sorts of things would be that "UIs should be swappable" but then you just end up at a different version of the problem: having a generic high-level API restricts the experimentation you can do with a UI, yet allowing direct access to internals interferes with long-term maintenance and reliability.
It's immensely frustrating. There's just two evils to pick from at every turn.

wireless earbuds evolved dark colors in order to avoid predators locating them if they’re ever accidentally dropped on the floor

i think instead of machine algorithms controlled by corpos we should go back to using tags or creating things like playlists but for people you want to follow

Op zondag 27 april geven we weer demonstraties van de radiotelescoop Dwingeloo. Op het programma staat altijd live-signaal van onze 'huispulsar' B0329+54, meestal een ver sterrenstelsel, een supernovarestant of gewoon de zon. De ruimte is beperkt, dus reserveren is nodig, via https://www.camras.nl

If anyone had a 90s HD Camera/Camcorder lying around, please let me know, I'm looking for one (something like a Sony HDW-700A).
HDW-730 and up are already released in the 2000s as far as I can see.

Hollywood finally solved the piracy problem by making movies so bad that most people don't even pirate them.

I sometimes forget the new coffee maker has a steamer wand, then partner makes a fancy coffee and a horrible noise and I fear for their safety.

i’m not saying that urban zoning policy isn’t important and interesting per se, but i am also grateful that it acts as a nice pressure release valve for engineer-minded sorts turning their gaze to the Public World
if you ever find your eyes glazing over a little at yet another paean to upzoning around transit corridors, remind yourself that the individual in front of you might very well otherwise have fixed on Nutrition, or worse, The Family
@linus I try to, but it's difficult with how the miserable parts have become almost unavoidable to deal with... 😕

people who make art or music or other creative stuff: do you think your younger self would like what you make?
@robinsyl Yeah, understandable.
@robinsyl Some of the stuff quoted from the UK ruling in that article is absolutely wild...

I complain a lot about Matrix and Element (and for good reason) but one thing I do have to say is that I *really* like Element Web's emoji picker, both the as-you-type one and the reaction one, and prefer it over just about every other emoji picker that I've used

The #Servo TSC has decided not to go ahead with the proposed changes to their AI policy, due to community pushback: https://github.com/servo/servo/discussions/36379#discussioncomment-12898169

Een vlaamse gaai in de tuin!
Hij heeft ergens een soort takje geworden dat steeds korter wordt tijdens het slijpen aan de takken. Er valt telkens een stukje af.
Wat een leuke dieren vind ik dat, ze vliegen ook op een bijzondere manier, lekker wild. Ik vind ze ook nog eens mooi!
