Shut up. I will literally put everything in the dishwasher. What do I even have it for if I can't put anything in there

If you're a "centrist" and you only ever repeat right-wing talking points like "the economy" and criticize left-wing policies like social welfare...

Then you're not a centrist, you're just a right-winger who doesn't want the bad reputation associated with it.

re: A12-demonstratie, politiewapens, Daily Mail link 

Getuige de video op youtube.com/watch?v=lBFTrrev6L 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

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
