The official word from the #nixos foundation in today's live Q&A session is (paraphrased) "oh there's always someone who's going to object to something so we don't want to make any decisions regarding ethics".

What a fucking cop out. And what an insult to the community. Imagine thinking this is an appropriate response to 128 contributors signing an open letter within 24h condemning an ethical decision that you've made.

The tragedy of the commons is that under capitalism we don’t have one.

Nothing to see here. Just some people walking up the stairs 🚶‍♂️🥴

In de politiek wordt nu een frame voorgehouden dat het 'demonstratierecht' zich in de afgelopen jaren ontwikkeld zou hebben. Dat is dikke onzin. Het recht is niet wezenlijk veranderd, behalve dat de burgemeesters vaker misbruik maken van hun bevoegdheden om demonstraties te onderdrukken. Wat veranderd is, is dat burgers hun recht om te demonstreren vaker gebruiken.

Some elevators help you envision equivalent measurement classifications.
(Not my photo. Just for fun I searched "Volskwagen". It's a common misspelling, apparently) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22volskwagen%22&atb=v375-1&ia=web

it's hard wanting to be less cynical while also remaining aware of how fucked up things are

Hello dear Fediverse, if you receive this message this means time travel is successful. In my timeline it is the year 2006 and I am curious what will await me in the future.

Please tell me how is the world like in your timeline and what are some changes I can expect when my timeline catches up with yours.

I will reply to you back later. In the meantime I will check out a Linkin Park CD I got from a friend.

This is your random reminder, asking for help takes spoons and courage, but also, sometimes, is actually helpful.

This ICE entered Köln Hbf without stopping on the bridge. I didn't knew that was even possible. 🤯

I think that’s the most stylish Kleingarten hut I’ve ever seen though. Halensee

Never know when that information might become relevant later

I would subtly suggest to start taking notes of who in your tech circles works for companies like Anduril

Dear vegans: be very cautious when buying orange juice in the Netherlands. The largest producer is now adding 0,02% cow milk to some variants to avoid the recently raised sugar taxes 😵‍💫
