@joepie91 Or, as our "regional" honey factory puts it: "Honey from EU- and non-EU countries" (which basically only excludes Antarctica, and the Space).
Also, Dutch folks can probably guess exactly which brand this is
This tea packaging: "The rich tea is blended from various teas gathered from some of the world's finest tea growing countries."
That's it. No further detail. This is an impressive spin on "we literally put into the bag whatever we could get for cheap lmao"

I found a shipwreck I had not seen before. This was on Sully Island. The wreck was well below high tide.
(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?

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.
