All this "don't trust things that strangers say" narrative seems to have done, is to make people only trust the *confident-sounding* strangers, which are often the grifters

Want to know what a real dystopian corporate cyberpunk ecosystem looks like? Here, welcome to Moscow.
While it is also a dystopian totalitarian cyberpunk city, with absurdly wide centralized face-recognition-powered CCTV coverage actively used for prosecution, it is not the focus of our today's post.
You can rent an apartment using Yandex.Rent (Yandex.Realty is also a thing if you are not a fan of subscription service for an apartment), and if you pay with Yandex.Bank card you get 3% cashback in Yandex.Points. What can you spend Yandex.Points on?
- Get a ride with Yandex.Taxi (the only viable competitor, Uber, was acquired and now operated by Yandex)
- Send something with Yandex. Delivery
- Buy literally anything on Yandex.Market
- Get groceries from Yandex.Lavka
- Get food from restaurants delivered with Yandex.Eats (the only viable competitor, Delivery Club, was acquired and now operated by Yandex)
- Rent a car (or an electric kickscooter) from Yandex.Drive
- Have your own car? You can get fuel, or charge it (if you have an electric vehicle) using Yandex.Fuel (btw you can also buy a car on Yandex' Auto.ru)
- Get some tickets to events on Yandex.Afisha
- Traveling? Get tickets and a hotel room on Yandex.Travel.
Also, did you know they have a virtual currency, ✨. You can get ✨ for using all things listed above, and also for listening to the music on Yandex.Music and watching movies on Kinopoisk (acquired by Yandex). You can convert ✨ to coupons, for example, to get a discount on taxi ride.
How about the classic ecosystem services? Well, they got you covered. Yandex Search, Yandex.Mail, Yandex.Disk, Yandex.Telemost and others are here. And if you need a smart home, the virtual assistant Yandex Alice will happily spy on you.
Want to get somewhere? Yandex.Navigator will help you, and show ads along the way. Want to use public transit? Ah, Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Metro, Yandex.Transport, Yandex.Timetables will help you. Want a very precise forecast for your street? Yandex.Weather knows it.
You can also get education on Yandex.Practicum, Yandex.Academy, Yandex.Tutor and Yandex' School of Data Analysis. And yes, you can pay with Yandex.Pay not only on Yandex. There are also installment plans available with Yandex.Split.
And yes, they are hiring. As a bonus, you will get a free smart speaker and the Yandex.Plus subscription.
this is so cursed

Wie er nog aan twijfelde, hierbij een foto van die #SP'er tussen de TERF's, Nazi's en ander fascistisch gespuis. Natuurlijk niet de officiële partijlijn, maar wanneer je zulke lui aantrekt als partij, dan is er iets goed mis. Maar dat wisten we al.

"you can't put knives in the dishwasher"
"you can't put large pots in the dishwasher"
"you can't put wood in the dishwasher"
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.
It is currently trying to munch on a slipper

was in a pronoun circle earlier where someone said "you cannot misgender me in a way that matters" and i'll be thinking about that for the next week
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

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
