Goed artikel. Constructieve en noodzakelijke kritische kijk op hoe het in en met XR gaat.
De tijd om over anti-racisme te praten is altijd nu, ook voor XR

what git jargon do you find confusing? thinking of writing a blog post that explains some of git's weirder terminology: "detached HEAD state”, "fast-forward", "index/staging area/staged", “ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit”, etc
(really only looking for terms that you personally find confusing, not terms that you think someone else might be confused about)
Why do people keep reinventing injectable SQL
... are you fucking kidding me? Does SPARQL *really* still not have a standardized mechanism for parameterizing queries?
This is fucking terrifying.

Linking paywalled articles on social media should be considered a shameful thing to do. Like loudly farting in public

honestly, a lot of inherently untrustworthy entities (like VPNs) have been gaining traction through relative trustworthiness, rather than actual, absolute trustworthiness
like if someone asked you to funnel your internet traffic through them, at face value, that is extremely suspicious. but people trust the folks on top-- Google, Meta, Amazon-- so little that they'd rather talk to some rando in a dark alley than them
and of course, the irony is that this rock-bottom trust is actually especially profitable to those at the top too, since they run those ads on their platforms
the entire lot of them deserve the bin

Me and another person just saved a car from being hit by a Kliko on the run. It was filled with styrofoam and had no clear owner 😬

Is er toevallig ergens een artikel o.i.d. over de operations in de Efteling, en hoe dat zo efficient geworden is?
De wachttijden lijken tegenwoordig echt veel korter dan ~15 jaar geleden, en ik vraag me eigenlijk af waar dat door komt, maar er wordt maar zelden geschreven over de logistieke kant van pretparken...

Voor een actie voor toegankelijkheid OV zoek ik een rolstoel. Er staat alleen een bord in, dus hij hoeft niet functioneel te zijn. Mee kunnen slepen is genoeg. Liefst omgeving Utrecht

I don't know if anyone has talked about or covered metrics on the data cost of ads on websites? Particularly in countries where mobile data is expensive and we live 200mb bundle to 200mb bundle, going to a website that costs 6mb to visit because of video ads and banner ads and ad network generated website links with 12 links and their own bespoke thumbnails... One of those hidden poor tax costs is data.

large unmarked white van update: the spot previously occupied by the large unmarked white van is now occupied by an unmarked van of the same shape and size, but painted cyan
re: nlpol
Like, after two+ decades of landlord propaganda in the political landscape, this is not exactly a low-risk political position to hold, to put it mildly

I'm still kind of amazed that we actually have a pro-squatting political party here now

Only vaguely related, at one point I had a game idea that was everyone was told a new zombie mmo was coming out (before zombies were completely tired out) but when everyone started up they were random citizens, somewhere on a map, with everything going fine. A infection point would kick off, and basically it would be an observation on player co-cooperativeness.

The Hollow Knight wiki moved away from Fandom yesterday, congratulations from us!
If you're wondering what's wrong with Fandom and why so many wikis are moving away recently, Hollow Knight YouTuber mossbag made an excellent and in-depth video about the topic:

You can find the new Hollow Knight wiki here:
