Net nog weer een Brabantse regenboogvlag verzonden. Wie wil er ook eentje?
Zie https://etten-leur-divers.nl/vlag
Ik verkoop ze voor een paar euro boven kostprijs om er niet op toe te hoeven leggen als er eens een keer iets mis gaat. Eventuele opbrengsten steek ik in ons vrijwilligerswerk voor Etten-Leur Divers, T-Nederland, en COC Tilburg-Breda.

Some testing later, and I'm now certain that it's specifically Youtube (and *only* Youtube) that slows down Firefox to a crawl.

harping on the most boring and most common pride slogan
"Love Is Love" is such a great way of saying jack shit when that's precisely what right-wing chuds are trying to outlaw anyway, again, and when there is far, far more at stake along with it (all based on the concepts of further racialising, bodily autonomy, gender, hell even positions during sex, etc.).
I don't want to see that slogan this year. Come up with something better.

I really enjoyed this video from @bernadettebanner which demonstrates how check the quality of clothes before buying them, without looking at the price tag.

⚠️GASLIGHTING PSA⚠️
This is the week where people become suggestible to propaganda!
!!! YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE !!!
Everything Trump, Musk and their sycophants say publicly is a carefully crafted lie designed to trick you into believing what they want, EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM
DO NOT pay attention to what they say!
DO pay attention to what they do!

duck duck fedi for software
is there a program for sway that will automatically configure outputs to be positioned next to each other on the virtual plane of outputs? …so that i can connect any number of outputs (with different resolutions) and will be able to each them all by mouse? it is not very important that their virtual neighborship represents the physical layout of the corresponding monitors of outputs

CW request, valentines
please cw valentines day stuff. It's heteronormative, capitalist and ableist shit.
(Please, if you enjoy it, celebrate it)
For my own sanity, please make sure my filters work correctly
Office: cleaned!
(Or well, cleaned as much as is viable with my current lifting restrictions, anyway)
NixOS, FOSS ideology
This whole thing is also an excellent example of how, despite the insistence from fossbros, "you can just fork it" doesn't magically eliminate the politics and the social factor in FOSS, by the way.

I got a small empty bubble wrap packet from China.
The customs label claims it is "outdoor goggles", which is not a thing I ever ordered and also would not have fit in this packet.
I am so confused.

If you ever go shopping for a little treat for yourself to cheer yourself up have you considered getting an artist to draw something you love for you instead of buying a gadget or a cute hat?
(nothing wrong with gadgets or cute hats, but you have art forever, and looking back on the drawings is amazing)
Find an online artist with a style you like who says they take commissions. Be clear about what you want, but also give them room to do it their own way (that's the whole value.)
So worth it.

I have to hope that the tides will turn once again towards positive, progressive and forward-thinking behaviour, but I sincerely hope that when they do, people don’t forget all the corporations that *immediately* abandoned their so-called principles the second the opportunity arose
I’ve had a low opinion of big tech for a while but even I was surprised at the sheer speed of capitulation. They really are just empty husks with a logo

Berlin, looking for a place to rent, boosts appreciated
Hello feed,
I'm on the lookout for an unfurnished single bedroom apartment, the cheaper the better, with central location.
If you know any people moving out, or know a realestate agent that has access to such properties please let me know.

Hi everyone!
We've just pushed a very important security bugfix release for #GoToSocial v0.17.3 and below:
https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.17.4
If you are running on GoToSocial v0.17.3 or below, you should update to v0.17.4 as soon as possible. It's a very small update from v0.17.3 -> v0.17.4 as it contains only some code logic changes, and no database migrations.
In short, when a dereferencing bug is triggered under a specific set of circumstances it can cause loss of account data on affected instances. It's a rare thing to be triggered, but when it does happen it really, really stinks, and necessitates restoring from backup or manually editing the database to get things working again. (It's not possible to access or tamper with data by triggering the bug, only destroy it.)
We'll release a proper CVE for this in a couple of days when admins and packagers have had a chance to update.
Please note that folks who are already on v0.18.0-rc1 or latest snapshots are unaffected and do not need to do anything, as the bug occurs specifically in v0.17.3 and below. This means if you prefer to update straight from v0.17.3 to v0.18.0-rc1 then that's also an option; you can follow the release notes for v0.18.0-rc1 in this case.
So! If you know folks on GtS v0.17.3 or below, please let them know that they should take action! Link them to this post if you want! And please boost for visibility :)
Thank you everyone! <3 Computers!
subtooting, NixOS
To make it a little more explicit: Nix follows (a variant of) a 'benevolent dictator' model, whereas Lix follows a 'collective decisionmaking' model.
One of those models is remarkably improving the quality of the software right now, and it sure isn't the 'benevolent dictator' one.
subtooting, NixOS
"But it takes time to fix governance issues! We can't do that overnight!"
Okay, so then how did Lix successfully avoid these issues in a fraction of the time? Do you think that perhaps the problem lies with your perspective on the issue, and not with the proposed fix?
subtooting, NixOS
Or alternatively, y'know, actually fixing those governance issues in Nix that people have been telling you about for half a decade
subtooting, NixOS
You know, if you want the #NixOS build system to keep using Nix instead of Lix, maybe you should be spending your time fixing Nix bugs instead of pearl-clutching on the issue tracker about how unfair it is that they've switched to a fork that actually works?

I have a gently used Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) that I can't use anymore. I'd like to give it to a marginalized persion who already has a compatible iPad (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MXN43AM/A/apple-pencil-2nd-generation?fnode=57e18cedd3dd1819b100a6153ee538e33c38b4e096e344f3cdd7da811a7d64ed672a3ea9273ffa069c98ded9525f3158439db8088d5b7b69311332f26dee8b5bf930579fc173e4283ce4041966922139df4620298e993804c4e4cfee162640dd) who could use it for school or art. Sorry, US-only because shipping would be $$ otherwise :(
