take a gender, leave a gender

In Enschede zijn twee woningen van woningcorporatie Domijn gekraakt nadat de corporatie deze woningen vijf (vijf! VIJF! 5!) jaar leeg had laten staan.

De krakers zullen wel weer ontruimd worden, maar de schande ligt bij corporatie Domijn.

Oh hey my instance and I are being impersonated.

I recommend blocking cloudisland.online

#FediBlock

Thanks everyone! Looks like the instance went offline pretty quickly, but you should still suspend the domain in case it comes back.

I’m going to tell you the story of the man who solved a crime.

Not, like, a cop who put together the clues and got his man, but a person who took a crime as old as civilization and fixed the problem where it got you in trouble.

The man: Artur Virgílio Alves Reis.

The place: 1920s Portugal.

The crime: Counterfeiting.

The problem he fixed: That the money is counterfeit.

(This is going to be a long 🧵 . Just trust me.)

Voorts ben ik van mening dat de strijd voor klimaatrechtvaardigheid verder geëscaleerd dient te worden.

I often say that election security is by far the hardest technical problem I've ever encountered. Why? Four reasons:

1) Contradictory critical requirements, particularly vote secrecy vs. transparency.

2) No truly neutral trusted third parties.

3) Election do-overs are generally impossible, so the ability to merely detect problems is insufficient. You have to reliably prevent them.

4) Much of the technology than can manage the complexity of elections is inherently untrustworthy.

The Gas Industry Is Paying Instagram Influencers to Gush Over Gas Stoves

Here's an idea

Scrape your ass instead

One of these days I will analyze #OpenStreetMap data to see if there really are a lack of houses with a house number of 13.

Since then multiple others have mentioned these concerns to him, but they're dismissed just the same.

Yet again a recently joined twitter techbro is writing a scraper, but this time it's couched in language about "consent" and "privacy", it's still effectively building a centralized search index across users on his single server. Opt-out is also not actually consent, both legally (GDPR) and morally.

He keeps dismissing it as just a non-ideal stopgap-solution but that doesn't matter. it's about what's happening right now. random users logging in thinking there's *anything* private about this service, and feeding their entire following to the machine

capitalism looks good on paper, but every time anyone has tried to implement it, it's always failed because of greed

If anyone going to church in broad daylight says that they are "fearful of the homeless outside of their church" I'm always going to instantly and immediately ask them why they are not inviting said homeless inside of their church.

Like, it's been a minute since I read the bible but I'm pretty sure there were one or two passages about this in those pages.

For real, people. If you've got a roof and money in your pocket ask yourself why you're "fearful" of your unhoused neighbors.

In 2023 I'll share 365 songs on lefty themes (for want of a better description). I've got around 200ish to go at as I write this. Fingers crossed this time next year I'll be posting the last one! They will come in different shapes and sizes and genres and levels of overtness. My hope is that you find something to mix into your own playlists like a secret ingredient and share them about to radicalise yer mates x
#ToTheLeft, #ToTheLeft, every lefty song in the box to the left:

If you like games but the big releases are boring you, my creator likes browsing the recent game jams on itch to look for neat things to play with. Maybe you might too?
