"Wat vooral opvalt in de woordvoering tot nu toe is het gebrek aan nuttige informatie, en welke informatie ontbreekt. Als er daadwerkelijk een gevaarlijke situatie was ontstaan, dan had de politie dat toch wel gezegd? Dan hadden ze daarmee toch demonstranten kunnen overtuigen?"

Just from recent personal experience it’d be really cool to have an up to date resource on X11/Wayland GPU compatibility

If I had to describe my current mood, it would probably be something like "full of life, and craving for tasty food"

Hello from post-surgery recovery room. Surgery was textbook, everything working, currently breakfasting with tea, cheese sandwiches, yoghurt/vla mix and lemonade. And laptop of course because I cannot sit still.

Doctors were - as per tradition - somewhat baffled about me going from "awake" to "fully functioning and conscious" in like 5 minutes. I asked if I got a recovery highscore (while reassuring them I don't intend to rush).

The answer: "you're definitely pretty close."

lol the first thing the app asked for permissions access to was pasting from my clipboard.
Lolno. You’re not getting that unless I specifically want to paste something.

I highly recommend always reading “do you want to allow permissions to…” style messages and pressing no by default.

renaming the main branch to 'canon' and side branches to 'heresy' (forking is renamed to schisms and pull requests/merges become ecumenical councils)

today i had a pretty sweet interaction with a trainspotter at Warsaw Central :3

I got out of the EC train from Berlin and saw a guy with a phone taking lots of pictures of the locomotive

apparently today was the last day PKP's EuroSprinter (EU44) locomotives were wearing the special christmas (advertising) livery and it was his last chance to catch it

we had a little chat and he seemed genuinely very happy that somebody approached him about this hobby. it brightened my mood too

In light of the government’s latest offer to the railway union, I just want to remind people…

If overtime is a constant thing in your workplace, then you need more workers. Or you need a fundamental rethinking of your employment scheduling and then probably more staff. People should not need to be asked to work extra days on a regular basis to cover the known workload, you should have leave coverage included in your staffing plan

Transdev will operate the bus services on the isles in the south of Zuid-Holland. The 20 hydrogen buses will remain in services, and there will be 67 new electric buses as well. These buses will have three features new in the Netherlands:
* Special system so deaf people can connect their hearing aid to the announcement system.
* Special spot for assistance dogs.
* Bibo: passengers who pay their trip with a digital OV pas, can have their pas automatic recognised by the vehicle, so they don’t have to use the validators in the vehicle.

Hit me with examples of *manual computing*! Let's define it as *computing without electricity*. The abacus is one example. Using dice as RNGs or counters is another. But there are more subtle ways, like in @tendigits' post*, where there is some state and some knowledge required for a human to interpret that state. Board games are yet another example, where there is a set of rules, some changing state, represented by various game pieces, the players mutually observe that the rules are being followed, and the result is a winner. I keep wondering what other ends some board-game-like setup could be used for.

Het grote voordeel van de meubelboulevard is dat je tussendoor even kan gaan liggen.

Verder geen voordelen.
