It kind of feels like these people are treating the whole thing like a football match or reality show, and it's really not worth my time or energy

I think I'm mostly immune to the suggestions you can only play retro games on a CRT, because I remember the motion picture archivists mailing list thread where someone proposed the only authentic way to watch silent films was using no-longer-manufactured projector bulbs since modern ones are too bright.

I'm a 18 year old transgirl from Eastern Germany. My parents are right‐wing extremists and have a problem with trans people.
My Blåhaj and smolhaj and I need a place to crash. We are both house‐trained and don’t bite. 🥺👉👈
I don't have an place to calm down and have some privacy, really need a place to crash and build up a new life. I am not bount to any particular place.
I am also urgently looking for a job in IT so that i have some income (currently i dont have any income), preferably in systems operations. I have been working with Linux in my free time for a few years now and I am really into NixOS. CV upon request.

oh hell, WHY is https://consoledonottrack.com/ a thing, NOT tracking should be the default
guess a little project of mine will soon be some code such that any process that needs network access needs to be explicitly be allowed such a thing..... as we have gone off about before, tracking as a default is not a policy you should even consider
stop gathering data you don't absolutely need.....
Like, I cannot emphasize this enough: the goal of these 'debates' is not to defend or justify the sketchy practices. The goal is to keep everybody busy 'debating' so that nobody is putting a stop to it and it is de facto already permitted.
They don't need to convince anyone to 'win'. They just need to keep the discussion going in perpetuity. #NixOS
(What this strategy reminds you of, is an exercise for the reader.)
And the more room for 'debate' that you give these people, the longer you are providing cover for all the sketchy shit that they're doing while the governance outcomes are perpetually in limbo and nobody feels empowered to put a stop to it.
Like, no, when someone is constantly doing sketchy things, and always conveniently finding a way not to engage with the criticism, you *don't* actually have to give them the benefit of the doubt, you can just tell them "no, fuck off".
I don't think the endless stream of governance conflicts in #NixOS is going to be resolved until people learn to say "no".

the fire is NIS2, the fire is semver, the fire is flakes, the fire is the module system, the fire is sexism, the fire is code of conduct, the fire is military sponsorships, the fire is conflicts of interest, the house is barely standing, but just one more discussion chat just one more we’ll fix it just one more long drawn out debate and then we’ll change everything it will be so different this time I swear just one more governance restructuring just one more just

I’ve noticed there is a huge fire in your bedroom, but before we can do anything I’d prefer if we opened an RFC to make sure that everyone agrees that-
Oh what is that, the house burned down while we were pontificating the finer points of- Where are you going! COME BACK AND ARGUE WITH ME

some lesson I learned last year, for people who are considering adding their fedi handle to their CV: don't. Only add the profile URL. HR people *will* confuse this for an email address even though it's not listed as such and is prefixed by an @
politics, privilege, liberals going "how could this happen"
I think the continued bafflement of liberals as to "how it could get this bad" is pretty easy to explain by looking at how it's almost always (relatively) privileged folks.
If you always believe that you are the most qualified person in the room, regardless of the subject, because you have never been told 'no' (which is common with privilege), then you're probably going to conclude that because *you* didn't see it coming, nobody else must have seen it coming either.
accident analysis
Looks like the accident report for the Jetline accident at Grona Lund came out - and there's a Coaster College video going over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMh0imnNGck
(For those unfamiliar, Coaster College is pretty much the one channel that does in-depth and accurate analysis videos about ride accidents, with none of the sensationalism and hyperbole that you see on other channels)

So true! My family love to buy me three thousand gift packs of sledgehammer ice shower gel and burning factory deodorant each christmas.

why deodorant marketed towards men always has to have some unpleasant sharp scent. "feminine" sticks are like "cherry blossom" or "papaya delight" or "lavender breeze" and "masculine" sticks be like RAW CONCRETE. ELECTRIFIED CEDARWOOD. CAFFEINATED ARMOR-PIERCING AMMUNITION

We hebben van de @gemeentelv een paardekastanje gekregen en ze wilden er graag een bank uit hebben. Vandaag hebben we die stam gezaagd. Één van onze vrijwilligers gaat hem verder bewerken.
