I've been thinking a lot about that idea of "community is something you establish, not something you end up in" and how a lot of eg. queer discourse revolves around "the queer community" when it should probably revolve around solidarity between *different* queer communities instead

If you're visiting the Netherlands and you want authentic & cheap "fast food" style food, you need to visit a "snackbar".
There are some chains, like Febo, but typically they're locally & independently owned and operated.
They do offer some items you might recognise, such as hamburgers. But most of the menu is unique to snackbars and the most popular & beloved items are among those.
I wrote a little guide about some of these items here: https://martijnfrazer.nl/food/

I prefer to buy my stuff in store.
Decathlon, a French company so always a bit strange, sends me by e-mail a 5% discount code for my whole order but only on the website or in the app. I do want a tent, so ok, discount is welcome. One of the other items I want is only available online, not in store, but most items are.
What does Decathlon:
- The stuff available in store: home delivery is € 2,99, pick up in store is free.
- The stuff not available in store: home delivery is free, pick up in store is € 1,99
So, now my order is split in two in two delivery methodes because I don't want to my discount to disappear in delivery fees 🙄

Language is important.
I'm tired of media euphemisms.
It's not climate skeptic, it's climate denier.
It's not vaccine skeptic, it's anti-vaxxer.
And it's "lies" and "racism" and "genocide" and "war." Words have meaning.

When you make the pitch for accessibility, be prepared for pushback. There are several myths and misconceptions, so it's good to be aware of what they are and how to dispel them.
Something I'll never understand is people defending companies that terminate lifetime licenses, because "well they can't keep providing services forever, it's not sustainable".
Okay? Then they shouldn't have sold 'lifetime' licenses in the first place? The company's bad business decisions are not the customer's problem. You sell a lifetime license, you will have to honor it, end of. Actions have consequences.

hot take that shouldnt be hot at all: "expat" is an inherently classist and racist term used by rich white immigrants who want to distance themselves from the "poor and dirty" immigrants who are often also poc
like no james, you're an immigrant too, whether you like it or not

In de herhaling voor leden van mastonederland.nl:
Met pijn in mijn hart moet ik jullie laten weten dat ik binnenkort deze Mastodon instance zal sluiten.
Het is niet langer houdbaar om praktische en persoonlijke redenen. Ik kan er niet de tijd, de aandacht en het geld insteken dat het nodig heeft. Ik wil iedereen bedanken die hier actief is geweest.
De instance blijft nog even (ongeveer een maand) online zodat de vaste gebruikers tijd hebben om hun account te verhuizen.
Dank voor alles!

Quick, if the production endpoint is https://documentapi.prod.fedex.com/documents/v1/etds/upload, what should the sandbox endpoint be?
If you answered https://documentapitest.prod.fedex.com/sandbox/documents/v1/etds/upload, why.

https://dragonscave.space/@fireborn/114748601542434856 has us thinking about the whole weird concept of "protecting" something by attacking anyone with legitimate criticisms of it. It's something we see a lot from cops, I think - claims that, in order to uphold the law, we need to bury its victims, so anyone attempting to make the criminal justice system more just is actually making it *worse* somehow.
I think it might be an authoritarian thing? If you think of this kind of conduct in terms of people up the ladder retaliating against resistance from those below - even if the resistance takes the form of saying "can you take this boot off our necks?" - then it makes sense that it would happen. It's profoundly toxic, but it's part of a pattern.

Pol: nukes
Many "scary" nations that don't like the US have horrible weapons. So what?
You will die because they close the dialysis clinic in your small town, not because of Iran.
These guys will cheerfully kill tens if not 100k civilians just to have the edge in negotiations about who makes money off the tankers and who gets the plumb trade deals.
The ideological battles are a smoke screen to make Americans scared enough to let them play risk with our lives.
Ik ben dat gezeur over 'eigenrichting' inmiddels wel een beetje zat, eigenlijk. Er is helemaal niets mis met eigenrichting an sich; het betekent alleen maar dat je aan zelfbestuur doet en problemen in je omgeving zelf (gezamenlijk) aanpakt i.p.v. het uit te besteden aan een grootmacht die totaal onbekend is met de lokale context.
Waar het daadwerkelijke probleem ligt is wanneer iemand een ander onnodig schade toebrengt. Of dat nou de politie is die dat doet, of iemand anders. Maar dáár gaat het nou nooit over. Want dat zou lastige vragen oproepen over of dat geweldsmonopolie nu eigenlijk wel zo'n goed idee is.
