Read my lips:

An audio show that can only be played in an Apple player on an Apple device is not a podcast.

An audio show that can only be played in Spotify is not a podcast.

Repeat ad nauseam for any other proprietary audio show platforms.

A #podcast is an #RSS feed with enclosures of audio files which are playable across the whole ecosystem of podcast players.

Any reporter who reports on exclusive audio shows and calls them “podcasts” are doing a grave disservice to their audience.

just chilling in the same room with someone can be a form of intimacy

Lieve mensen, ik ben er weer. Om 7 uur van mijn bed gelicht door op deur bonzende smerissen die eruit zagen alsof ze een maffiabaas kwamen arresteren. Om een uur 5 vrij, met gebiedsverbod van 3 mnd. voor deel DH rond A12 en foon in beslaggenomen om te proberen erin te komen.

Ben je een boer met een trekker, heb je geen respect voor de leefbaarheid van deze planeet en wel snelwegblokkadeplannen, dan word je onder politiebegeleiding naar de plaats des onheils gebracht. Ben je een klimaatactivist met alleen je eigen lijf om in te zetten ten behoeve van de leefbaarheid van deze planeet en heb je snelwegblokkadeplannen, dan word je door de politie van je bed gelicht en krijg je preventief een gebiedsverbod.

Twee zinnen die duidelijk maken hoe verrot/verrut dit land is.

reminder that individualism is a lie. it always has been and it's repurposed to dismantle community building.

no person ever birthed themselves. they did not feed themselves. they did not create their own language. even the idea of individualism is an idea adopted from their peers. they do not build their own houses, grow their own food, build their own vehicles, or drive on roads they built. the idea of the rugged individual is a *fucking lie* and you should call anyone who promotes it a liar.

Benieuwd of ik nou morgenochtend ook een arrestatieteam op de stoep krijg...

Over vier dagen is het zover: dan blokkeren wij met meer dan duizend mensen de A12. Wij eisen een direct einde aan de jaarlijks 17,5 miljard euro fossiele subsidies!

De afgelopen dagen krijgen we veel aanmeldingen, helaas zijn de laatste actietrainingen al voorbij. Actievoeren is niet niks. Daarom sturen we onze rebellen voorbereid op pad. Daarom deze oproep: heb je géén actietraining kunnen volgen en is dit je eerste burgelijk ongehoorzame actie? Sluit je aan bij de supporters demonstratie.

Here's what I think of when I see (white) liberals/leftists pushing the notion that addressing economics & class issues will drive out prejudice and fascism:

2 of my 3 siblings left our family's working class origins behind when they got solid middle class jobs that employed them until retirement. They lead comfortable lives for much of their adulthood.

And yet, they never stopped being racist assholes. They never let go of their sexism. They never stopped seeing queer people as defective.

The absolute fucking gall of #Github to claim in their celebratory blogpost that actually, *they* are responsible for "developers no longer just being people building software for tech companies", and that they are "always putting developers first" in the same line as where they bring up Copilot.

Fuck you, Github. Sincerely, go fuck yourself. We were here before you, and this isn't your fucking achievement to claim. You *co-opted* the FOSS community, you didn't fucking create it.

(This is the post in question, by the way: https://github.blog/2023-01-25-100-million-developers-and-counting/)

I'd like to see more fediverse things that make use of the fact that it's a federated system where anything that follows an API can interact, rather than just trying to recreate an experience from a different, commercial website

A silly custom fediverse idea: a server with a fictional bus you can board (by replying to certain posts and then following the account - you have to board the bus for the request to be approved). You then can see posts about different bus stops, and can get off at different points and explore (follow new accounts you previously couldn't)

With an open activitypub API I feel like you could do some cool interactive fiction things
