(sexual) abuse as a general topic 

I wish more people acknowledged the systemic aspects of interpersonal abuse, and talked about how to *address* those on a systemic level, beyond just "consent is important" on an individual level

Like, while it is absolutely true that abusers hold individual responsibility for their actions, all too often that is where the discussion *ends*, and nobody asks "how did we get to this point in the first place and could this have been avoided?"

Google likes to claim it loves the web. Google fucking broke the web.

Cookie notices on every fucking website? They need those because they use Google Analytics or Google Ads.

Recipe sites that go on for fucking days? That’s because Google penalises websites when you leave too quickly, and they can’t show as many ads.

Obviously-bullshit machine-generated “content” designed to entice you to click ads? That’s because Google Search is a monopoly.

I’m so tired of Google.

Where is the AI app that turns an overproduced 10 minute YouTube video answering a simple question back into text that takes 20 seconds to read?

sickest sound from the whole mix, check the tracklist, of course it's ID - ID

"Don’t sweat about being 'behind the times'. If it works, it’s stable, and it’s performant, your tech stack is fine." - @Meyerweb

This. SO MUCH THIS.

It's true for work, but it's quadruply true for personal projects.

just spent several hours debugging a "tcp connect error: network is unreachable"

turns out the network was perfectly reachable and it was, as is always, DNS

"Why do people keep tweeting about COVID? We can't just --" Yes, you can. Because immunocompromised and disabled people have been implicitly sentenced to do whatever that is for our whole lives. That's why we're tweeting.

Look at this! This is in a local library. It's a place to sit in for children, shaped like a spaceship. This is awesome decoration.

I generally can't understand why anyone trusts about 90% of security products on the market. Honestly the bare minimum I expect is a transparent, open source implementation of their protocols. I see that basic lack of engagement with the wider research community as a massive red flag. Bug bounty programs are nice, but too many companies just have them as a check-box item.

Too much of that fear of loosing their special sauce by being open about evolving best practices. Too much security-through-obscurity with extra steps. As if the core robustness of their product is tangential to their market development >.> <.<

Remember, bigots cannot have a reasonable conversation because hating someone you don't know is inherently absurd.

They bitterly complain about being blocked and isolated because they know they are incapable of swaying people with their ideas, so they rely on violence and ignore boundaries.

Een NV is een naamloze vennootschap. Een BV is een besloten vennootschap.

Maar wat doen we met het woord ‘vennootschap’? Waar ligt de klemtoon: op ‘ven’ (eerste lettergreep) of op ‘noot’ (tweede)?

Zoek het niet op, maar stem spontaan – graag apart voor Nederland 🇳🇱 en België 🇧🇪.

(Je moet een keuze maken want er zijn maar vier opties mogelijk bij een poll, dus ‘Allebei prima’ kon ik niet opnemen.)

Eens kijken of dat soort polls ook op Mastodon werken. Boosts zijn heel welkom. Alvast dank! 🙏
