Iemand nog goede bijenhotel tips?
Merken, webshops?
Ik lees in blogs dat er veel troep verkocht wordt met slechte buisjes etc.
Zelf maken geen optie.
Ik heb er al eentje, die doet het goed, maar die heb ik gekregen en geen contact meer met die persoon.
@B123 misschien?

Over the next $unspecified_time I will be migrating to my own fedi instance over at @joepie91@slightly.tech - eventually this account will redirect and you should be following it automatically, but if you want to be sure that you don't miss anything, you should give it a manual follow now!
Can't really test out my new instance without actually posting there, so I'll be splitting my activity across accounts to see how well it goes. Once I'm happy, the automatic redirect will happen.
I've created an account for Promistreams, the interoperable streams spec and library I've been working on for JS, where I'll be posting regular-ish updates and information about it: @promistreams
There's not much on there, it doesn't even have a logo yet, but stuff will start appearing there eventually! If better streams in #Javascript interest you at all, I'd recommend giving it a follow 🙂

not to be confused with adhd special move: the cha cha slide
you take a bunch of small steps in every direction because you can’t decide which task deserves your immediate focus; nothing of importance is accomplished

Reasons to avoid products you see advertised constantly:
1. It’s usually better value for money to go with a competitor that has good word of mouth instead of a sky-high marketing budget
2. Spite

A couple of quick questions for #Sydney, #Melbourne, and #Brisbane people,
Do you have any facilities that feature lots of amenities (library, food courts, meeting halls, BBQs, pools, blood bank, child care, etc) all in the one space/complex?
If yes, are any of them outside the inner suburbs?

Also, one thing I don't understand about Tuba is why it shows a notification counter for the Home tab but not for the... Notifications tab 😶
Hm. I'm missing my 'delete and redraft' button in this client. Can't change visibility in the edit dialog...

🔜 WHY
Folks going to #WHY2025, if you have #floppy disks lying around (especially those that might have data), please bring them to me on site!
I am working on RecoveryWhiskers, my new data recovery program for floppy disk and always want more old media to backup.
Edit: Bring me any kind of floppy - I only have 3.5 and 5 1/4 drives at the moment. Bring me more obscure formats and drives if you have one lying around

@researchfairy reanalysis, same phenomenon that got us a nickname from "an ekename," an adder from "a nadder," an apron from "a napron," and an umpire from "a nompere"
vague, software
If you don't do the work upfront of making sure your software won't cause problems for others, then don't whine when you're suddenly expected to do a lot of work under pressure to fix it afterwards while people complain at you, you don't get to complain about that
