“Verbrennte” vs “Verbrennungs“ Triebwagen, know the difference

Monogamy seems like such an unreliable system. I feel like everyone should have at least 1 or 2 backup partners for redundancy.

#Firefox has a new hidden setting auto-rejecting #cookie banners (not just hiding them eg Brave). Piloting in 🇩🇪 in Private Browsing but anyone can enable:
Go to the URL about:config
Set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled ->True
Go to Settings->Privacy, turn on Cookie Banner Blocker.

@wmd I wish I was even surprised, like at any of the details in that.

Also the government not being informed is basically the rule. Knowing a bit of the inside of how these organisations work, there was definitely information and other things the Dutch agencies gained in return, so it wasn't just "we where used by the Americans" that is just the thing they have to say to politicians to cover their ass....

But I wonder what the political fall out now is going to be.

got myself rate limited by my own Mastodon instance by, uh, going through my recent followers and following people back

Oh.… railway on strike starting on the one day I gotta get across the city by light-rail to get to my doctor's appointment. Great.

I fully support those strikes, even if it means I'll have to sit in subway and busses for a total of four hours instead of going there within 45min in light-rail, I'd just prefer if DB did fucking get their shit together so there wouldn't have to be any strikes in the first place.

If you haven't checked in a while, Firefox is good. Like really good. If you're tired of Chrome taking literally all of your ram and CPU, you should try switching.

Every town should have a cable depot where everyone brings the cables they aren't using and they sort, test, and store them, and when you need some random cable you simply drop by the cable depot to pick it up. And if they don't have it they'll request it from the next town over, like inter library loans.

Today's project: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dlayer-knex

It even has some documentation!

(Although the documentation for the thing which it is built for is still incomplete...)

i love how common it is to go “oh that would be a fun domain name” and then look it up and there’s already a fedi instance there

occasional reminder to folks with pronouns in bios to double-check if the ones they have written down still spark joy

Why do we always say happy Sunday, instead of "I’m sorry it’s Sunday and you work tomorrow"?

actually, shit, here's a few very basic changes you can make for better #GameDev #Accessibility :

1) please explain the graphics settings in language that people who barely know what a GPU is can understand, and in terms that aren't just about performance.

2) you know how Minecraft has a bunch of really specific audio sliders and not just "music" and "sound effects"? that's really helpful! you can even make it an advanced toggle or something.

3) for the love of god just let me drag resize your window. "fullscreen" vs. "borderless fullscreen" will not cut it. there are seriously so many more games that I could play without motion sickness if I could just make it not take up the entire screen. I cannot emphasize how confused I am that this is a problem to implement.

I like alt text because it lets me understand memes that are 7 levels removed from any reference I had any chance of getting
