For those not familiar: the Zune theme was a theme released by Microsoft for Windows XP, to promote their (ultimately failed) line of MP3 players.
Crucially, it was released late, relatively obscure, and most developers wouldn't have known about its existence. From a QA perspective, it effectively functioned as a third-party theme despite being published by Microsoft.
People be claiming that "it's just not possible to have a UI toolkit that's both reliable and themeable outside of core OS styles" and yet none of them ever seem to mention the XP Zune theme which did precisely that
re: fossil fuel industry
The exact method of shutdown is left as an exercise to the reader, of course. Pretty big solution space there.

> Energy company faces calls for toughened windfall tax as it reaps rewards from high gas prices
This is why you don't negotiate with capitalists. You either regulate them or, failing that, you shut them down by force.

@threeofswords I realized recently that I really miss people CWing food. Not that I care about food, but a lot of people don't know they're talking about diet culture and weight loss, they just think they're talking about food!
So without those CWs, I get exposed to a lot more toxic and triggering stuff. :(

CHALMERS: You know, this email is quite similar to the ones companies send out when they've had a security breach.
SKINNER: Ohohoho, no! This is just a normal precautionary password reset. Old company tradition! Mmm, password reset!

I also definitely noticed that my queer only posts get much more traction than anything related to fatness or ableism bc as a whole the left doesn't care about about body liberation either. Regardless of if it's due to genetics, illness, injury, or poverty, the left cannot bring itself to care about disability and advocating for accessibility for all of the kinds of disability not just the ones you personally deem acceptable🤷♀️

I swear, the local hardware store *deliberately* puts everything in the most illogical place possible. I can never find anything on the first try there.

Vragen aan het OM, plus: Opruiing!
Slot:
"Hoe dan ook! Ik hou maar vast met van alles rekening, terwijl ik nogmaals oproep om
– mee te doen aan de XR-blokkade van de A12 in Den Haag, zaterdag 11 maart om 12 uur;(6)
– deel te nemen aan de kolentrein-blokkades die Kappen met Kolen keer op keer op touw zet.(7)
Tot ziens allemaal, op de blokkades, en elders in de strijd! En kom maar op, verachtelijk Openbaar Ministerie met je bewapende doch bespottelijke politiemacht, kom maar op. Maar weet waar je aan begint."

Tata Steel is de grootste uitstoter van CO2, stikstof en zeer zorgwekkende stoffen in Nederland.
Het bedrijf geeft mensen in de omgeving aantoonbaar kanker, overtreedt continu straffeloos de wet, betaalt geen cent winstbelasting en aast nu met een agressieve lobby op miljarden van ons belastinggeld.
STOP TATA voert actie om Tata Steel te stoppen.

Rant about the word "everyone"
Everyone is almost always a shitty word to use.
The context in which I saw it today was: Everyone can protest at date/location. Well, I can't. Very ill people can't protest.
I often run into "everone can still see" when talking about a disaster from the past. I have aphantasia. I have no visual memory of the thing you're mentioning.
It happens a lot. "Everyone loves sunshine" (No, usually it hurts too much.) "Everyone listens to music" (I couldn't for at least 5 years because sever sensory overload.) "Everyone loves banana's" (I hate them. Sorry.)
"Ëveryone on the internet loves cats." (Not trying to offend your cat here, but, no.)
All these statements hurt me. They list a common experience as being true for everyone. But it's not true for me. So what am I? Not part of everyone?
It makes me feel disconnected. It makes me feel like I don't belong. It makes me feel like I'm doing/being something wrong for not being part of your statement. It makes me lonely.

I confess myself a bit baffled by people who act like "how to interact with ChatGPT" is a useful classroom skill. It's not a word processor or a spreadsheet; it doesn't have documented, well-defined, reproducible behaviors. No, it's not remotely analogous to a calculator. Calculators are built to be *right*, not to sound convincing. It's a bullshit fountain. Stop acting like you're a waterbender making emotive shapes by expressing your will in the medium of liquid bullshit. The lesson one needs about a bullshit fountain is *not to swim in it*.
