re: health-
Gotta say, this is not my favourite achievement

Achievement unlocked: Blood pressure so high that it's out of range of electronic meters, and a manual measurement was necessary

debts, poverty is expensive
About a decade ago, I was in poverty and, more importantly, deeply in debt. Here's an excerpt from just one of the many, *many* letters I got from debt collectors at the time.
The original debt was 750.25 EUR, racked up because I couldn't afford the (legally mandated!) private health insurance.
(Which, by the way, results in additionally getting fined by the government, but that's a whole separate story.)
After adding debt collection charges, the total came out to owing the health insurer 1971.46 EUR, almost three times(!) as much as the original debt.
Poverty is expensive.

@exokai just gotta clean and you'll find more. Cleaning opens up the cable dimension where all lost cables go to be found

One weird thing about being trans and not transitioning until your 30s is having people who helped you figure out your gender stuff who are 14+ years younger than you

As. woensdag is de regiezitting in de zaak tegen 8 mensen, waaronder ikzelf, die vervolgd worden voor de oproep om de A12 te blokkeren.
Geen inhoudelijke behandeling nog dus, maar...
De zitting is openbaar.
13:30 rechtbank Den Haag.
re: mh-, tech
Is it really too much to ask to have a community that actually considers the consequences of tech (without needing to be told or 'debated') and that doesn't turn into endless vocal nerdfights
mh-, tech
I am so close to burning out on tech shit entirely, and it's almost 100% because of the community around it

So I apparently have a small documentary about Drievliet, a Dutch theme park... from 1951. No idea where it came from. Should probably figure out a place to upload it?

The Pixel/Samsung phone vuln issue demonstrates why having to wait for a vendor to decide to fix a product you notionally own sucks for security. Both yours individually and collectively.
