Ook als #Rutte nu echt definitief opdondert - wat ergens nogal de vraag is - blijven we opgezadeld met verdere verrechtsing en een mainstream links dat net zo goed deel is van de verrotte establishment.

Er gaat niks goeds gebeuren in het parlement. Laten we dan vooral ook ons focussen op wat daarbuiten moet en kan gebeuren.

#Nederland #asielcrisis #kabinet

Zodra er een Kabinet gevallen is gaat het al snel over de vraag hoe (en door wie) er tot de volgende verkiezingen "op de winkel moet worden gepast." Maar wellicht het grootste probleem met Rutte is dat hij altijd - in 'missionaire' én 'demissionaire' tijden - pretendeert precies dat te doen: op een winkel passen.

Iedereen van harte gefeliciteerd met het einde van het tijdperk Rutte!

Prime minister just anounced this was his last term.

I take Snake very, very seriously

A quick tip if you have friends who haven't joined Mastodon yet: Don't say any variation of "join Mastodon" at this point

Just tell them to join either your instance or some instance you know that you think they'll gel with. Eliminate the decision paralysis and just get them started :3

I was excited to receive my Talkback 14.0 update, as it was promised that it would bring support for the NLS e-Reader via USB. Once I plugged it in and powered on the device, TB recognized it immediately and I said okay to my Pixel using the e-Reader as a braille display. It looked like it would be a great experience, as I was able to read what was going on on my phone's screen. However, when it comes to writing, the experience changes dramatically. In fact, I feel discriminated against. It does not recognize dots as I input information. For example, when typing characters with three or more dots, such as l, d, g, etc., I literally must push each key individually while holding down the others in order for the right character to be placed in my document. This is deplorable. GoogleAccessibility should have done better. What would it look like if a phone was released to the sighted with a broken virtual keyboard? Do better #Google; have more blind people testing before releasing.

I am not exactly surprised anymore when people start arguments with me in other online spaces and flippantly dismiss when I bring up the impact racism has on an issue because it inconveniently staggers their argument.

Not surprised; just disappointed.

Keeping notif sounds disabled makes fedi boring enough for me not to be addicted to it

Not having notification sounds should be one of standard digital health features of open source software

Not saying "don't have notification sounds", but mayybe software should be designed in a way where it doesn't absolutely fuck neurodivergent people's attention

Abolition is about alternatives. It’s about not asking cops with guns to handle situations they’re not trained for. It’s about building a society that helps those who need it instead of sending punishers to them. It’s about foundation building and community.

"AI is tragedy of the commons".

Shut the fuck up. Tragedy of the commons is a conservative meme to delegitimize public and common administration of resources without middlemen.

I was chatting about #SocialMedia experiences, and shared how I visualize #Mastodon in my head:

Mastodon is a fleet of cute little spaceships all traveling together. You're on one spaceship but you can communicate with and see all the other ships. When an instance "defederates", one ship is acting badly and another ship goes "Ugh" and blocks them/cuts them out of the fleet so they're just floating off alone 😆😂

(I think it's because "federate" and "defederate" give me cool space org vibes)
