In a move that absolutely no one asked for:
I am porting the Windows Vista/7 desktop Gadgets to Wayland with some GTK sorcery.
These widgets are actually zip files with web resources plus some metadata.
I got the Machine CPU and RAM stats working, along with some of Microsoft's weird JS API's.
Does *every* Star Trek series just have an obligatory alternate-timeline episode about "terrans"?
policing, funding, "efficiency"
Even if you think police are necessary and are in favour of them existing, there's one very important thing to alway remember: their investigations are *supposed* to be slow and expensive. It's a safety measure.
Investigative techniques costing a lot of time and money to apply, without a lot of budget available, is one of the most effective ways to prevent overuse of them; to ensure that they are only used when they really need to be. It's one of those "checks and balances".
By arguing for "efficient policing" and "process optimization", what you end up arguing for in practice is for cops to be able to use these techniques indiscriminately without much thought, because the cost and effort is trivial. This is a really bad thing!

Remember this?
"There are many reports of Black people being refused at border crossings in favor of white Ukrainians, leaving them stuck at borders for days in brutal conditions."

When I say antiblackness is global, this is just one example of what I mean.

closed-source software just gets abandoned for boring corporate reasons but open-source is so much more fun because it's always some shit like "the dysfunctional polycule that maintained this is currently being hunted across state lines by a vengeful metamour" or "alphabet inc. sent private mercenaries to the home of our lead developer"

Anyone knows any visually impaired astronomers (or amateurs) who will be interested to test our #astronomy apps for #Accessibility ?

health, positive...? sort of?
I genuinely have no idea how this could happen, I guess the salt restrictions assume neurotypical folks who cheat on the restrictions or something, and they're not designed to be actually followed to the letter??

hospital, social worker, autism, positive
Social worker at the hospital today: "it's nice to work with autistic folks, it's so easy to establish a clear [agreement/understanding] with them!"

De trein en bus zaten vandaag weer vol met snotterende mensen. Als je wacht met mondkapjes dragen totdat er een golf is, nou, nu is dus het moment om daarmee weer te beginnen.

Asking for a friend (echt), is er een soort bank-of-last-resort voor stichtingen? Een bank die wel bereid is na te denken ipv gillend weg te rennen zodra het iets met het hulp aan Oekraïne te maken heeft? Het is leuk dat de overheid contante transacties boven de 3000 euro verbiedt maar dan moet je niet ook bankrekeningen onbereikbaar maken, lijkt me.

Some serious props to Australia Post for this one. No street number provided, just "The one with the big antenna". Thanks for the laughs @xssfox !
