De reactie op Greta Thunberg bij de Klimaatmars was misschien wel het duidelijkste voorbeeld dat ik tot nu toe in Nederland gezien heb van "you retain your white privilege until you use it to threaten white supremacy"

"Going anywhere for the holidays?"
"Yes, upstate."
"Plane or car?"
"Oh Jesus no! Train."
"How long will that take?"
"9 hours. But my vacation starts when I get on the train, not when I get off the plane. It's much less stressful."
"You know... I can see that..."

Folks, I may have a made a convert today. Let's be real. Driving is work, and flying is torture. A train ride, might seem "long" but did you count all the time you spend getting to the airport, the security checks? The silly rules?

Heeft iemand een tip voor een systeem of dienst om een adresboek te beheren in de cloud? (waarbij je er dus altijd vanaf meerdere apparaten bij kan?)

De diverse diensten waarmee je je contacten mailt en hen zelf hun adres laat invullen zijn niet wat ik zoek.

Ja, ik kan zelf googlen. Ik vraag naar tips op basis van eigen ervaring.

#Linux op de middelbare school in plaats van de voorgeschreven #Chromebook? Dat kan gewoon. Als gevolg meer privacy, minder leveranciersafhankelijkheid en een langere levensduur van apparatuur.

The space Indigenous peoples can take up in bright green NGOs is restricted to the frame of the white savior, a rescuing or concerned citizen who has to make the right decisions and who refuses to look into the militarism and colonialism ruining the earth today and strips agency away from others. https://www.doorbraak.eu/why-is-greta-unsafe-on-the-stage-of-the-climate-march/

Echt, ik heb het ook goed. Heb een succesvol bedrijf opgebouwd en woon in een fijn huis. En toch heb ik nog NOOIT op de VVD gestemd omdat er heel veel dingen belangrijker zijn dan iets meer belasting betalen.

Denk na mensen, kijk eens echt om je heen buiten je eigen bubbel. Dan zie je dat de 🌍 iets anders nodig heeft dan de VVD.

@dgar Rene Magritte is crying in his grave.

Okay, so with news of Sam Altman's firing, I'm just now learning about the sexual abuse allegations against him and holy fucking shit. Can we please, for the love of FUCK stop holding SilVal tech dudes up as heroes or icons or whatever?

Like I already knew this guy was not good, but this is just horrific.

No: SERIOUSLY. Y'all need to have a good long think about why so many in "AI" and "Big Data" seem so determined to get others to believe that radical consent models of data collection and use are not only impossible, but wholly undesirable.

Also, seriously? Whenever one of y'all next tries to tell me that radical consent models of data collection and use aren't possible in "big data" and "AI," I'm gonna say "Thanks for the input Sam Altman, but I really don't know if your views on consent are the ones we'll be needing to hear today."

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you increase “your own” odds of catching an airborne communicable disease, you are inherently making things less safe for everyone else you come into contact with, and everyone THEY come into contact with. “Individual choice”? Not a thing when it comes to public health. @novid

Oh yeah in the US you don't usually get crushed by anvils falling out of the sky but that's because the catching anvils that fall out of the sky company catch most of the anvils and they spend a lot of money lobbying to keep the throwing anvils in the air companies legal

The throwing anvils into the air companies don't make their money by throwing anvils into the air, they're always suing each other for copyright infringement on anvil throwing processes and most of their actual funding comes from the anvil catching company, well that and stocks since everyone expects them to keep growing so long as the anvil catching company exists which is a long time because catching anvils falling out of the sky is an essential service otherwise people would get crushed by falling anvils

Also the anvil catching company's founder and CEO married his seven daughters to the incel sons of senators, which is good because his family has a long history of keeping to itself, he made his fortune inventing the anvil catching device after pearl harbor happened and he thought they were gonna drop anvils on the US

His brother started the anvil throwing company as a scheme to get Americans afraid of falling anvils

Anyway they all pay their workers sub minimum wage because they got anvil throwing and catching to be considered a form of restaurant service (which is why you tip anvil catchers when you see them though now they all work at the anvil catching centers since that's where the anvils are thrown)

But yeah that's how Americans don't get crushed by falling anvils, how does the rest of the world do it?

I think if I met an alien civilization I'd ask them what kind of drywall anchors they use
