anyway it's also always quite funny to look at the fedi profiles of the folks organizing such events because you often find, as in this case, that they posted like ten toots a few years ago and then fucked off - https://mas.to/@Identitywoman - and yet they purport to have sufficient expertise in "the fediverse" to organize a conference on the topic 🤡

in case anyone's wondering why GtS never bothers with these kinds of daft events it's prettymuch because a) we can't be arsed, b) we're allergic to corpo-speak LinkedIn bollocks and don't want to be around it because it makes us too sad to write code, and c) it almost always seems to turn out that one or more of the organizers are shitheads like this

> Op deze controledag blijft het ook in de trein rustig en komen de controleurs van de NS alleen maar voorbeeldige reizigers tegen.

Dus ze zitten alleen maar van belastingcenten machtsvertoon uit te voeren. Hij kwam helemaal geen bedelaars of daklozen tegen, maar noemt het lekker toch nog wel even als ‘ie met de media babbelt, en die nemen het kritiekloos over.

Zou moeten “Politie controleert met honderden agenten treinen, vindt niks”

Okay, it's time. Which linux is the one where it's easiest to install a theme that makes it look like windows 9x? #linux

Bustle is the DBus activity visualization application I desperately wanted.

I have finally remembered to drink water today
I guess this is a checkpoint, did you drink water today?

A friend who used to do tech support told me that he learned that instead of asking "is it plugged in" it was better to ask the customer to unplug it and plug it back in. Then they might notice that it was unplugged but they don't have to admit it. I think about that a lot

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

Dear #LazyWeb #FediHerd,

with different disasters - both natural and otherwise - on the rise, I am looking for recommendations on a radio receiver that would be well suited (also) for in such occasions.

What I imagine - but if you thought it through better, do let me know - one would need:
- AM, FM, DAB (I imagine internet radio is most fragile)
- battery - either easy replaceable or rechargeable
- also work without batteries
- good quality and sturdy
- portable
- world coverage would be cool

It occurs to me that 'meritocracy' is just the divine right, but for capitalists - if the system is currently the dominant one, then that must be "because god ordained it so" / "because it was the best system and therefore rose to the top", and therefore it is above criticism

You know those shaped-plastic blister packages that a lot of products are sold in, filling up your plastic waste bin? Here's an easy way to (partly) reuse them if you have a vegetable garden! All you need is scissors and some way to label things.

A lot of this style of packaging has large rectangular flat areas of plastic; almost always on the back of the package, sometimes areas on the front too. Find all of them and cut them out, so you're left with a stack of flat, rectangular(-ish) pieces of plastic.

Then just cut those rectangles into strips of about 5-10cm. They don't need to be cut nicely, they just serve as posts for your labels! Then either print labels and stick them on or, alternatively, write on them with a thin permanent marker.

Now you have tags for your plants, without needing to buy a bunch of new plastic ones!
