Next week Saturday (March 25) it will be Open Day again at RevSpace, the hackerspace in The Hague (https://revspace.nl/)!

Everyone is welcome - entry is free of course, and you don't need to speak Dutch! It's pretty accessible by public transport too.

Do make sure to book a timeslot here in advance: https://pretix.eu/revspace/opendag2023/ - the other COVID safety measures are also explained on that page.

Some more details about RevSpace (in English) can be found here: https://www.nycresistor.com/2019/01/12/hackerspace-envy-a-visit-to-revspace-in-the-hague/

Turns out Mastodon on e-ink is cool af

It’s pretty intense when I play on my kit in the loft.

It’s drum attic.

well, hackaday just died to me. their "report comment" button is officially confirmed to be little more than a placebo. quoth their official fedi account:

The "Report Comment" button is automated, if enough individual IPs click then it will take down the comment and have a human review it. But just one person clicking won't trigger any obvious change, nor notify us.

i sometimes forget that the rest of the world doesn't take moderation quite as seriously as the fediverse does

reposted as public - boosts welcome

Friendly reminder that using those 'fancy text' generators to make your name or the text in your posts all pretty makes them inaccessible to screen reader users. They can also be a pain to read visually.
to you, they're just cute lettering you can just skip over. For a screen reader user like me, depending on various things, they could come out as
'mathematical small bold k mathematical small bold a mathematical small bold r mathematical small bold a',
'letter 126b letter 17dj letter 13y7dwiz'
or nothing at all.
I'm not sure off the top of my head how they appear on a Braille display but it's bound to be a right mess.
I don't particularly call any of those pretty, do you?
Plain boring text that is accessible to everyone is the new pretty.

Since it's about that time of year, remember that can use your food card to purchase seeds/bulbs for edible plants as well as edible plants that are already grown.

In Duitsland is uitspreken tegen extreemrechts in de landbouw geen taboe. Hier wel, dat is voornaamste reden waarom BBB nu zo groot is.

WE HOUDEN VAN DIVERSITEIT - OOK BUITEN HET VELD

In Bioland houden we van kleurrijk – heel kleurrijk zelfs. Omdat diversiteit op alle vlakken belangrijk voor ons is, hebben we de AG opgericht tegen rechtse tendensen in. Het ontwikkelt strategieën om de vereniging Bioland te beschermen tegen rechts-extremistische invloeden, rechtse tendensen, individuen en netwerken uit dit milieu.

Bioland tolereert geen anti-constitutionele standpunten. Bioland tolereert geen standpunten die anderen gelijke deelname aan onze samenleving ontzeggen. We spreken ons duidelijk uit tegen racisme, antisemitisme, seksisme en tegen alle andere vormen van groepsgerelateerde vijandschap.

Bioland streeft het idee na van een landbouwsysteem dat kan bijdragen aan duurzame, milieu-, dier- en mensvriendelijke landbouw in elke regio van de wereld. Hoewel Bioland voornamelijk actief is als ledenvereniging in Duitsland, is het idee van biologisch-biologische landbouw universeel. In die zin maakt Bioland deel uit van de biologische landbouwbeweging in Europa en wereldwijd (IFOAM). Onze wereld ligt open.

Ik werk met collega's van allerlei nationaliteiten en beschouw het als mijn persoonlijke doel om het internationale 'Business English' te verrijken met wat Nederlands. Na 'it works as a tierelier' ben ik nu begonnen met 'Go give them van jetje!'.

being on tumblr for the goncharov incident has made me realize how those ancient stories and myths got made up. some fucker went "yeah that lightning bolt? his name is zeus" and everyone just ran with it

this LLM shit is worse than the cryptocurrency nonsense because a lot of otherwise reasonable techies who saw right through the technolibertarian shit of blockchain stuff are falling head over heels for fancy expensive markov chains.
