A12-demonstratie, politiewapens, Daily Mail link
Waarom heeft de Nederlandse politie dit martelwerktuig en waarom kan ik er niets over vinden dat ze die mogen gebruiken?

politics in regards to climate affairs, very downbeat and negative
TL;DR: right and centre politics are mutually exclusive with being alive
If you support right or centre politics you are by all means anti-life.

LIVE | Demonstranten Extinction Rebellion breken door politieafzetting en bereiken A12 bij Den Haag
demonstraties in Nederland, lang
De laatste tijd zijn er een aantal artikelen verschenen over hoe "onbeheersbaar" o.a. die XR-demonstraties wel niet zouden zijn, en hoe er meer middelen nodig zouden zijn om ze te bestrijden. Er valt niets tegen te doen, verzuchten burgemeesters, politie, enzovoorts.
De manier waarop erover gesproken wordt laat heel duidelijk zien hoe er in Nederland over demonstraties gedacht wordt door autoriteiten; als een lastig dingetje waar het doel is om ze te stoppen. De boodschap maakt niet uit, en daar wordt ook niets mee gedaan.
Hier een citaatje uit zo'n artikel (deze is van de NOS):
"Burgemeester van Den Haag Jan van Zanen denkt daar anders over. Bij eerdere demonstraties werden vele honderden activisten gearresteerd, maar vervolgens ook weer vrijgelaten vanwege het vreedzame karakter van het protest. "In de praktijk blijkt dat niet effectief tegen dit soort gedragingen kan worden opgetreden wanneer deze massaal en langdurig plaatsvinden", aldus Van Zanen in een brief aan de Tweede Kamer. Hij vraagt Kamerleden na te denken "over een manier waarop op dergelijke ontwrichtende acties een antwoord kan worden geboden"."
Weet je hoe je die acties een antwoord kunt bieden? Door op de boodschap in te gaan. Door daadwerkelijk fossiele subsidies af te schaffen. Door daadwerkelijk de woningbouw te gaan fixen.
Maar nee, op de boodschap ingaan is echt een brug te ver. Laten we dat vooral niet doen. Laten we in plaats daarvan steeds meer repressie toepassen om demonstraties weg te drukken alsof het een insectenplaag is. Aldus de autoriteiten.
En dan vinden mensen het gek dat ik geen toekomst zie in demonstraties als bron van verandering. Waarom zou ik, als er vrijwel letterlijk wordt gezegd dat men zich er toch niets van aan gaat trekken?

The way the right and centre are currently doing politics is mutually exclusive with the right and centre movements to continue existing for the coming two or three centuries.
It's not that the left isn't willing to compromise, it's that the bare minimum the left want is for humanity as a life form to survive at all. If right and centre want to continue their current politics what they are actually doing is put an end to human existence entirely.
Compromising below that line is sorta like going "well, we'll make some concessions, we'll allow humanity to live for 150 years instead of just 100 by getting rid of this one thing, but we really can't do more, anything more than 150 years would be unreasonable" when asked to reduce corporate e-waste.
"But we're already doing so much" is them going "but we're already at 150 years, what more could you ask?" well knowing that what they're saying is "your grandchildren and their children will die a horrible death, and we're causing it, but it's not profitable to allow them to life, so we're killing all of humanity instead".

@thufie The preferred way to map cop cars in the OpenStreetMap community is to bring a couple of bricks with you on every StreetComplete trip and tag the cars with historic=ruins. Hope this helps

Being a programmer is like having a puppy who isn't potty trained yet, so you spend half your day walking around cleaning up messes and sighing loudly

I wish online stores advertised "slow shipping".
I do not need to instantly recieve my package, truly!
I would rather the order be accurate, workers not be rushed, and all of us agree on realistic expectations and sustainable practices so they become commonplace.

Hey Fediverse! There is a San Diego Mutual Aid organization called We All We Got San Diego. This org has bi-weekly, free food distribution, with no questions asked or gatekeeping, just free food given away in San Diego. They do incredible work.
I have just heard from their Discord channel that they are currently low on funds, with not enough in the account to handle even one of the bi-weekly distros they do.
If you could spread the word and possibly donate, they would be incredibly thankful!
And if you need food in San Diego, check them out!

learning about social issues should enable you to extend greater empathy to your fellow human beings, not motivate you to find more complicated ways to be wrong.

Het was dan ook pas 300 jaar na de geboortedag van Coen dat er iemand op het idee kwam om voor dit moorddadige type een monument op te richten. Dat kwam namelijk mooi uit om het nationalisme in de relatief nieuwe eenheidsstaat een flinke impuls te geven. https://www.doorbraak.eu/dekoloniale-activisten-tijdens-hoornse-slavernijbijeenkomst-weg-met-coen-standbeeld/
I can never quite tell whether they are ignorant to how exclusionary it is, or whether they are fully aware and that's the point
Very tired of tech people insisting on doing decisionmaking in person at events

In case you missed it: in the Netherlands, XR will start a road blockade in The Hague tomorrow, and they've announced that they will keep returning with a blockade every day from that point on, until their demand of an immediate stop to fossil subsidies has been met: https://a12blokkade.nl/index.en

Request, boost ok: What's a good low/no tech CO2 monitor?
I don't want anything that syncs with my phone, or a touch screen, or batteries, or any electronics preferably.* Just as simple as possible.
* I know that's unrealistic but it's to underline that I want something that wants to be a utility, not a gadget.
