This bug is absolutely doing my head in... what the hell

Minnesota passed a law that people making under $80k/year can go to any state college or university for free.
Guys, I might actually be able to get my Computer Engineering degree after all 😭

Boer aangevallen door een wolf... De wolf is doodgeschoten. De BBB is boos en wil wolven bestrijden.
Boer aangevallen door een koe. De koe is niet doodgeschoten. De BBB houdt zich stil.
Ook die vraag alleen al. Is er in Nederland wel ruimte voor de wolf? Waarom is er dan zo weinig ruimte voor wilde dieren? Misschien doordat 80% van ons landoppervlak voor de dierlijke bio-industrie gebruikt wordt? Als we daar nou eens mee stoppen is er ook veel meer ruimte voor wilde dieren. Goh...

I don't mind Electron apps. Thanks to them I have access to a bunch of apps on the Linux desktop that otherwise never would have been available to me and I would be using Windows or macOS as my daily driver instead. The idea that if Electron didn't exist pepole would write the equivalent native app for each platform doesn't hold up. That didn't happen before Electron existed and "before Electron existed" has been around a lot longer than "since Electron existed".
With relatively little effort, Electron apps can also be much more accessible than some native apps. Especially native apps written in custom GUI toolkits or game engines that score a whopping 0 on accessbility. Electron is a browser with HTML. Browsers are actually pretty good at accessibility, and we have WAI-ARIA to help us further.
That said, this is getting a little ridiculous:
$ pacman -Qq | grep electron
electron
electron19
electron22
electron25

Starbucks was ordered to rehire half a dozen employees they fired illegally (with compensation for back wages plus interest) , reopen a store in Ithaca, NY that they closed in retaliation for union organizing and much more. The case file, including described remedies, is linked at the end of this story.

UNFRIENDLY, even HOSTILE, reminder that your "ironic" racist/fascist memes are indistinguishable from the real thing, especially if you are a stranger on the internet seeking to make this ambiguity your personal brand
Is there a standard name for a "map and filter" operation? So, map some items, discard some others, in a single iteration. Ideally something that isn't extremely jargon-ese.

Sometimes I think of two things to put into a CW that shouldn't go together to create intrigue, then I come up with a post afterwards that ticks both boxes, like a sort of writers prompt or whatever they're called. CWs are good, you know. Social medias without them built in are missing out on a whole extra layer of Cursed Content™ to be enjoyed in a safe and controlled environment. Don't forget your hazmat suit x

Snapcast (https://github.com/badaix/snapcast) is terrifyingly good at what it does. Got several devices on the home network all playing back the same stream...with no perceivable latency at all. Not a ms... 😨

update: i am sweaty from carrying buckets of water but however the potatoes do, they will at least have been irrigated Once
A (government-issued) representative survey of the Dutch population turned up a surprising result: 6.4% of the population would consider getting an X gender marker in their ID/passport if it could be done at city hall instead of going to court over it.
... but fascinatingly only 3% of the surveyed population identified as non-cisgender to begin with!

I'm still vaguely surprised at it being a Christian party going "nope, your migrant restriction proposals will never find our approval"

While I'm ranty, .art has 33k total users, 8k active currently (12k active at peak last November/December) and runs entirely on donations with enough excess to pay our mods a little bit, and grows organically and comfortably (but will be capped at 12k active).
So if you're out there saying you can't run an instance at this scale and cost and the moderation requirements are too much:
Hi, we're mastodon.art, nice to meet you.
