LB: you should be an organ donor if you can. They do typically wait until you're done with the organ in question.
(Typically, there are some living donor things you can do, which are also awesome and good)

"Does it give you whiplash in the brake section" is an entirely too reliable way to identify a Vekoma coaster

In those 10 years, homelessness up 575%.

In 2024, 15,000 people were homeless. 9,000 are families.
Cost? €361,000,000.

€40,111/family/year. €3,343pm

50% are homeless for over 1 year. 20% for over 2 years.

Median home price, €355,000.
Cost? 30 years at 3.0% - €1,496pm

€3,343pm clears that mortgage in 10 years.

We are spending more to keep people on the streets than in homes, with walls made of misery instead of brick. Build homes instead of excuses.

anyways make your fucking interactive GUIs/TUIs actually fucking respond to input instead of dying in the drawing thread trying to run an external process or i'll throw your software hard onto the carpet too

@joepie91 @becha Warning about the rise of fascism was, of course "het elkaar moreel de maat nemen, de behoefte aan zuiverheid, de oproep om te ‘consuminderen’, de wedloop in het erkennen van de eigen privileges;" ...

Pspol, uspol, guns, genocide, armed resistance 

I don't mind armed resistance against genocide. When the alternative is letting your people starve and be bombed or shot, my opposition to weapons wanes.

If you know me, you know I hate guns, but my argument is not for those resisting colonization, ethnic cleansing, or genocide. I just want to make that clear. My argument is against white colonizers owning guns, because they are quite literally the problem we must fight against.

Every colonized people who won their land back used weapons from Vietnam to South Africa. If the alternative is slavery, starvation, and genocide, then defend your people how you see fit.

I don't expect people to die pretty for the camera.

From the StackOverflow blog:

"While many of you have been vocal about being tired about hearing about AI, it’s clear that the folks with the money aren’t getting tired of investing in it. On the podcast, I talk to people every week who are finding a niche for genAI"

Well, I guess StackOverflow is done pretending that they care about anyone but the rich people?

polycule household management 

The most important whiteboard in the house is the crappy, tiny, practically-falling-apart paper-backed one that's stuck to the fridge; the shopping board, where everyone writes down the stuff that they need or that runs out, so that it can be acquired on the next groceries/shopping trip.

(In addition to a weekly stock check list to make sure we're still fully stocked on important stuff and cooking ingredients and such)

Dit stuk uit 2020 is nog immer relevant. Of het nu gaat over zieken, asielzoekers, ouderen, het blijft van toepassing.

glitch.com closure (2) 

"But don't most tech companies and startups close down with very little notice?"

Yes. Exactly.

glitch.com closure 

When some company shuts down a hosted service just because they feel it is no longer serving its purpose, they'll give you a long time to move away; a year or more.

When they shut down with less than two months' notice, that means they're bleeding money. Doubly so when they don't actually have a plan defined for the future yet.

I have said this a couple times, but I wish there was more anime about adults that look like adults. I don't mind the adults being sexy. Honestly it could be like Baywatch the anime, silver edition, featuring only old people, and I watch it, because I am sick of watching high school animes or childsoldier animes.

Give me like, a normal anime about a vampire butler who falls in love with another vampire butler, and then they both kill a king or something together and then they get to live a nice life in a castle with their vampire weaner dog or something. They both look like they're 40, because they are. The dog looks like a puppy though, because we need to comic relief. Just imagine it... it could be great. There's no children, no war, no school, just a solid working class rising up and then eating the rich.

It can take place in like 2025 too. Europe still has a bunch of castles and shit. A bunch of it still looks like its out of a story book. Artists... consider it... consider... adults with adults... eating the rich. And maybe they smooch.

Just saw a house-hunting type show where a guy offhandedly mentioned his 40ish year old husband had a "massive stroke in 2022"... But hey, they sure were glad they were able to get on the properly ladder!

Watching "non fiction" TV (eg house hunting/renovation/travel, etc) these days is wild. Phrases on repeat:

"Is unable to attend due to illness..."

"While recovering from a sudden stroke..."

"After an unexpected health scare..."

"Having had some health challenges for the last few years..."

"After suffering a heart attack..."

"Due to the unexpected passing of their sister..."

"Unfortunately my father died suddenly in [insert year between 2020 and 2025]..."

"Was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2022..."

"Has a rare form of cancer..."

"Has an aggressive form of cancer..."

"Had a nasty virus that I just couldn't shake for a few weeks..."

"Just getting over a nasty cold..."

"In memoriam" at the end of an episode..

People want to act like #COVID is over or it's no big deal but the tells, like a bad poker face, are everywhere.

I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stol, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.
