Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

I saw this shop yesterday and went to look for a picture of it, only to find that the automatic censorship just makes it incredibly funny. 10/10 no notes

The amount of post-purchase survey emails I get is absurd. No, auto parts store, you don't need to know how my "store pickup experience" went for two boxes of drain plug washers. No, dentist, you don't need to harass me to make a Google review or whatnot every time I go.
Only one I gave a crap about was post-FWA because it provides useful feedback about the con to real people and volunteers.
Corps just use those surveys to justify "churn events". Aka, firing someone lest they feel safe.

When I was 10 years old, I was sent to another school for a “gifted” program and read several books about dystopian societies. I have a vivid memory of telling my teacher that I felt lucky I didn’t live in a dystopian society, and she told me that I actually do. I laughed but she very seriously said she was not joking and repeated that I’m in one and don’t realize it yet, just like some of the characters in the books.
Do you remember the first time you realized you were living in a dystopia (even if it was less explicit)?

At times like these, it is incredibly important to remember that the peoples, cultures and faiths of what we now call the Middle East have lived together in peace for centuries.
We are being fed a story of eternal irreconcilable hatreds to stop us from seeing what's really happening. That the violence we see today is rooted in 20th-21st century imperial exploitation.
Don't fall for the racist, Orientalist lies.

What on earth is this Baeldung website and why is it dominating search results for pretty much every tech-related search I do? I've made the mistake of clicking through a few times and it looks like a mishmash of generated nonsense based on 10-year-old mailing list posts.

Toch bijzonder hoeveel aandacht er ineens is voor die paar opzeggingen binnen GL/PvdA.
Dat gebeurt nou nooit wanneer mensen opzeggen omdat de partijen zich ruggengraatloos opstellen en kwetsbare groepen voor de bus gooien.
Je zou bijna denken dat sommige leden niet zo van verandering en maatschappijverbetering houden.

grumbling about environmental discussions
@joepie91 you just know they're beginning to wind up on their ecofacism "the world is overpopulated" trip
For the curious: my editor theme (in VS Code) is now Omni Owl (https://github.com/guilhermerodz/omni-owl), and my font is Annotation Mono (https://qwerasd205.github.io/AnnotationMono/) with font weight 500. It's *really* satisfying to type stuff in that!
Changing the theme and font in my editor has done *so much* for my motivation to work on projects, it's kind of ridiculous...
Now to figure out a way to have different presets for work vs. personal projects

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".
Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!
