re: A12-demonstratie, politiewapens, Daily Mail link
Getuige de video op https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBFTrrev6Lo wordt dit apparaat momenteel gebruikt als megafoon; dat is een bijzondere keus, en roept vooral de vraag op waarom ze dit specifieke apparaat daarvoor hebben, want ik kan me niet voorstellen dat dat de meest kosten-efficiente megafoon was die ze konden vinden.

Installing Windows 11 in a VM using Narrator, and it's clear that the use case of installing Windows with Narrator has been neglected lately. I heard some SSML markup being read. And no, I don't claim that this has anything to do with me leaving the Windows accessibility team.

To be honest, I find it really hard to navigate that many academics think it is completely fine to give up on academic and integrity principles just to be able to work with companies and/or benefit from the money flow to AI for economical value

in the UK, if you apply to get or change a business licence, you must post a prominent notice outside so that people can object
i feel like they’re stretching the rules a bit here
thank you to @unlobito for obliging me in taking this photo of me

De A12-blokkade staat nog steeds. Morgen komen we terug. En de dag daarna en de dag daarna. Altijd 12:00 #A12.
For reasons so far eluding me, it's somehow always the `inherits` desugaring code that breaks

re: interesting news about XR protests in the Netherlands
This *fascinates* me.
interesting news about XR protests in the Netherlands
(translated) The four largest police unions are urgently calling for the government to enter into conversation with the protesters of Extinction Rebellion, at the planned blockade of the A12 motorway. According to the unions, frustrations are mounting about the repeated protests from climate activists, also among police officers, and the "hermetically sealed door" of the political process that's keeping out the activists, should be opened.
(original) De vier grootste politiebonden riepen de politiek vrijdag al ‘dringend’ op om met de demonstranten van Extinction Rebellion in gesprek te gaan bij de geplande blokkade van de A12. Volgens de bonden neemt de frustratie over de terugkerende demonstraties van de klimaatactievoerders toe, ook bij agenten, en moet de ‘potdichte deur’ van de politiek waar de actievoerders voor staan open.

"Crypto Fascist" has become a really confusing term.
is it someone who's secretly a fascist?
or a crypto(currency) bro who's openly fascist?

and to paraphrase john steinbeck, i think the reason why despite having so many queer people in my country we haven't achieved any equality, is not only because the government worker and the capitalist oppress us, but also because a concerning number of lgbtq people see themselves not as queers but as temporarily embarrassed cisses and heterosexuals
A12-blokkade, ietwat cynische grap
Beste reizigers, door een blokkade op de A12 rijden er tussen de Utrechtsebaan en het politiebureau geen auto's. De politie zet bussen in.

firefox vs chrome
Remember how Firefox grew big? I remember it as people wanting to go browse the web and not knowing what to do and others telling them that the first thing they should do is install Firefox. And done! So that is how Chrome will lose: just help friends and family install Firefox when they are not sure. Yes, I know how Firefox is not great, either. But it’s still better.
I would recommend that any person who is able to, should attend a protest at least once, for whatever cause interests them.
Not because I think it will change anything by itself, but because there is probably no faster way to learn whose interests cops and other authorities represent, and you can see it entirely with your own eyes, no need to trust anyone's reporting.
