hackers are really rational people who truly think for themselves, unlike all other people
(don't ask about Club Mate, Lenovo ThinkPads, Engelbert Strauss and Paulaner Spezi)
@unlobito Thing is, in eg. NL, ID cards *are* very common... and driver's licenses are *still* a valid form of ID. And I have heard the same from other places that do national IDs.
It's actually *really* weird that driver's licenses, specifically, are seen as a valid form of government ID in a lot of places.
@mynameistillian (That is, assuming that they haven't changed the design/materials over time, as IKEA is sometimes prone to doing)
@mynameistillian I've repeatedly washed mine (normal color detergent, 40 celsius, high-speed spin cycle) and it's been no problem. It'll need a lot of time to dry properly and even longer to fluff up properly again, but eventually it'll be back to normal.

Seems like I'm not the only one noticing an uptick in channer and nazi memes being boosted.
Is something specific going on? Or is it just the normal ebb & flow?

Baby steps.
I made a little #rustic step-ladder for the living room using a maple yoke piece that I ripped down the middle. And I added a removable slide for the junior woodworkers to have a some indoor playground fun.

I don't think #spooncarving will ever be my main thing but it's such a nice way to practice and experiment. This little spoon is for the sugar bowl. It was a piece of birch around a knot that I almost threw in the compost but then I thought it might be worth trying to work that swerving grain.

In retrospect, maybe organizing the whole world via Teen-Chat and Celebrity-Quip products was not a good idea.

And there are lots of other examples where folks seem to bargain with extractive technologies and avoid the debate about environmental damage by talking about the good intentions and organization of the makers.

An organic, fair-trade, community-governed, collectively-owned, open-source oil rig is still an oil rig.
Intentions, governance, ownership, etc. are all super important, but you also need to be honest about what the thing does and the consequences.
I'm lookin' at you "Open-Source Local LLMs".
@jacksonchen666 You could use another filterable product search thing, like the Tweakers Pricewatch or Geizhals? (Though the listed parts will vary by local availability for their respective locales of course.)
There's also icecat but IIRC its search is garbage

Heb ik volgers die zich bezighouden met de front-end van veel bezochte Nederlandse websites én affiniteit hebben het beperken van energieverbruik van het totale internet?
Ik help @fershad met het vinden van partijen die mee willen werken aan zijn grid-aware websites project

My own testing has shown it outperforms the others *and* doesn’t box you into weird licenses and questionable leadership promises.

my sister has been desperately dieting and losing weight and has lost 63.5kg over the course of a year and she booked a consultation for some cosmetic surgery, video consult, doctor said it was fine and she should drive from Wales to Birmingham to get this done. she gets there today, sees another doctor who tells her she's *too fat to get the surgery* and then slams the door in her face when she starts crying.
