(And also it is in fact the source of the bug I was trying to track down, and it isn't the first time that a bughunt lands me at a FIXME from past-me either)
Well, dear reader, it turns out that past-me's spidey sense was on point, and it does in fact introduce race conditions

⚠️ MAJOR UPDATES TO FANSLY'S POLICIES! #swresources #swsupport #fansly #censorship #creditcardcompanies
If you're a creator on Fansly, you should have gotten the same email to the one connected to your account. This is in hopes to inform people who don't check their email often or at all.
To be clear, this is not 100% Fansly's choice! Blame evangelical organizations, like Fight The New Drug, that pressures credit card companies to not accept payments for what they deem "sinful".

End of 10
If you know someone, friend, family, colleague, etc, stuck on windows 10, and you are nearby Amsterdam, De Versterking can help you switch to Linux at their anarchist repair café!

"Support for Windows 10 is ending in October, and many older computers cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Installing Linux on your old computer can prolong its lifespan and help reduce e-waste. Bring your computer and we'll help you with the installation process."

Thinking about how everything is constantly happening so much
And we all have to have an opinion on it instantly, or we're a part of the problem
And your response to everything is broadcast worldwide, so backing down or digging in your heels after a mistake both come with costs
And even if you do land on the right side of some issue
If you get the right answer but for the wrong reasons, god help you

It never ceases to amaze me how much my mood is affected by the weather. Warm sun with a refreshing breeze is an instant +50% mood boost. It's ridiculous
Debugging a bug in my async streams code, and ran across this comment I left for myself a couple months ago:
"FIXME: Verify that this doesn't ever introduce race conditions"
Guess it's time to do that verification now!

It’s the same anger I feel whenever I see someone calling themselves an “entrepreneur.” To me, that word will always mean “I look for ways to exploit labor and customers, so that I can personally enrich myself at the expense of others.”
It is an anathema to everything I believe in.

I think what makes me so incredibly angry about AI is that it’s not there to reduce *your* work. It’s there to reduce the amount of labor that CEOs have to pay for.
There’s no world in which doing *your* job a little faster is worth the trillions of dollars in investment; this is entirely predicated on eliminating working class jobs.
And *no one* should be excited about that, except for billionaires.

@venite En voor de zelfstandig ondernemers die van solidariteit houden: Word lid van een Broodfonds. Ik was ook niet van plan om ziek te worden toen ik ondernemer werd. En ik vond het al die jaren fijn om mede-leden financieel te steunen als ze ziek werden.
Toen ik zelf ziek werd moest ik een grote drempel over, maar het doet me zo goed.Natuurlijk heb ik de financiële steun nodig, maar alles eromheen doet zoveel meer. De steun, de warmte, de goede wensen 💛
Blij voor jou Anna! En goede oproep ❤️🔥

Eén van de “we laten het niet gebeuren”-tips is lid worden van een vakbond. Mijn vakbondspersoon helpt me momenteel met de WIA en dat is zó fijn (de enige persoon die zowel alle regels kent als 100% aan mijn kant staat). Hierom was ik geen lid, ik ging tenslotte niet ziek worden - ik was lid uit solidariteit en omdat vakbonden ons geweldige dingen hebben gegeven zoals het concept “weekend” en de 40-urige werkweek.
Dus word lid van een vakbond!!
In related news, Nijmegen station is basically a construction site right now...
(It was probably some other color of noise but I'm not quite sure which)
Beste reizigers, dit is een testbericht voor de omroepinstallatie. U hoort nu een testsignaal.

@joepie91 @Genderqueerwolf having lived at two very different lattitudes, this tracks. esp if youre far enough from the equator to have 18 hours (or more) of daylight in the hot months.
time zones can affect this too
im in the detroit area (eastern timezone) and peak heat is usually later than further east at the same lattitudes (ie. we are closer to chicago [central timezone] peak heat, not new york [eastern timezone])

@Sharksonaplane on that note: I've been boycotting Amazon for 5+ years, and surprisingly there have been maybe 2-3 times where it's been more than mildly inconvenient. One was when I was gifted a Ring device and had to ask to exchange it bc I didn't want Amazon systems in my home, bit awkward. But the rest of the time it's just a bit of extra friction.
For reference, at least 2.5 of those years I was living in the US, and 3 in the Netherlands.

War
Fuck
I hate how unaware USians are of how it feels to have war happening in your own land.
Joking about WW3 naively, with the underlying security that they won't be the one to flee, leave everything behind, give up on their hopes and dreams, have friends and family disappear, be maimed, tortured and die - only if they volunteer for the last one.
This is a scary subject, don't let the political buffoons convince you it's not
