Dat "tijd voor solidariteit"-documentje van GL-PvdA zou een stuk geloofwaardiger zijn als ze niet steeds met de staart tussen de benen weg zouden rennen bij demonstraties zodra de politie losgaat om vervolgens de schuld af te schuiven op 'relschoppers'

ableism, wojaks 

if you post or boost that horrible ableist 4chan bullshit meme format where "stupid" people are depicted as being physically deformed and grotesque, you are normalizing eugenics thinking! and spreading 4chan shit around! It's gross!

"the internet is down? huh weird. everything i use still works"

(they're using their own server on their own network.)

seems the centralized internet is having a good one today

(For those unaware, Google is currently a bit on fire and so is anything else that uses their infrastructure)

Ah, I guess it's time again for the Yearly Incident where a new generation of sysadmins and developers learns that centralizing your access management also means centralizing your points of failure

Sometimes it feels like every GDPRtoday newsletter is just like:

COUNTRY 1: The DPA imposed a massive fine on EvilCorp Inc.
COUNTRY 2: The DPA imposed a big fine on Dubious Engineering Ltd.
COUNTRY 3: The DPA fined the literal government for data mishandling
NETHERLANDS: The DPA has upheld that it's Totally Okay for companies to do this sketchy thing

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

Okay, I feel the need to share this because people who only speak english may not realize it.

As a french speaker, I'm seeing more and more websites auto-translating their content, because I guess now there's #AI translation and people think it works?

Guess what: the translations are still shit. It was not okay to publish Google-translated websites without a native speaker checking it if you didn't want to be ridiculed, and it's still not okay now, despite all the hype.

Please don't do this.

summer vibe

love the pettiness of macos showing windows computers on the lan as old-ass crt monitors displaying a blue screen of death. need more of that energy in my linux

Oh, how I wish that JS had something like obj.$env.identifiername to reference identifiers from the lexical scope in which an object was originally defined

palestine, Greta Thunberg 

@voidedmain@craftodon.social At the point someone is actively putting themselves in the sights of a fascist military, "stunt" is absurdly understating the commitment.

palestine, Greta Thunberg 

I'm tired of fellow white folks calling the #FreedomFlotilla a "social media stunt".

"It had to be Greta (Thunberg), because white bodies cause moral dilemmas to regimes build on white supremacy. It had to be Greta, because white resistance makes headlines whilst Black and brown bodies are disposable. It had to be Greta, because white privilege has a responsibility to dismantle empires. [...]"

Dat geldt ook voor de rest van de politieke partijen, trouwens. De enige partij die ik ooit gezien heb die daadwerkelijk solidariteit toont en bij demonstraties blijft hangen ook als het niet volgens plan gaat, is BIJ1. De rest is steevast pleite.
