privacy tip for NL citizens or permanent residents
You can request this at your municipality; be aware that they will probably talk you out of it, in my case they said "well this only matters to the church and you arent with a church" (false)

privacy tip for NL citizens or permanent residents
life pro tip if you are a Dutch citizen or permanent resident, you can request 'secrecy' on your personal records at the municipality you are registered at. this means that organisations that don't absolutely must have your personal data will not be able to request it.
according to www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/privacy-en-persoonsgegevens/vraag-en-antwoord/waar-vraag-ik-geheimhouding-van-mijn-persoonsgegevens-aan
Have you requested your municipality to stop giving your personal details? It may then no longer give your information to:
- the Interchurch Member Admnistration foundation (Stichting Interkerkelijke Ledenadministratie; SILA)
- Organisations providing care to patients in a institution
- Organisations performing judicial work
- Organizations to which a municipality would want to give personal data based on a municipal ordinance. For example, a sports club or a charity, such as the Red CrossThis seems, in my opinion, to be a good idea in the current times. Especially given the fact that I'd rather not trust the IT of a church or a small town sports club, for instance.
Weet iemand of er in Nederland eigenlijk een intersectionele/radicale organisatie of belangengroep voor Sinti/Roma bestaat?
De organisaties die ik zelf kan vinden ruiken allemaal op het eerste gezicht nogal institutioneel, en soms botweg racistisch.

deutsche bahn anecdote
thinking about that one time when deutsche bahn managed to be so late there weren't any more connecting trains going that day, so they paid for a taxi that drove me 112 km to my final destination

you're taught in english class that poems are like
"A flowerbed amongst the trees
i saw it there beside the bees.
i studied it a minute 'fore
i proceeded back outside for more"
and then you graduate high school and discover poems that are like, a detailed description of the lips of a lover that died due to the government

Nice, the European Union has officially stated that accessible overlays do not work. This isn't news to most of us, but it's always nice to have something official to point at!

YouTube started recommending me some videos about EDC stuff (Everyday carry) and from what I can tell so far it's mostly silly guys getting silly gadgets and trying to justify it to themselves by making it seem like they're serious tools that they might need at any time and it's actually super cool and not at all silly or unnecessary!
No Jarred, you don't need to carry a premium titanium flashlight-screwdriver-fidget-toy-knife combo tool with you every day. It's totally fine if you do! You're allowed to have nice silly things that you like. You really don't have to try so hard to be manly and cool about it though!
I feel like most people would never even fully utilize the most basic Victorinox tbh ^^'

CSAM and tech companies
Between the Stable Diffusion data set containing child porn and the fact that Tesla vehicles' internal cameras record video that's on their servers apparently available for employees to share (keep in mind that minors will take their parent's Tesla out to have sex in it from time to time), there's been a lot of tech companies doing an "oopsie" and creating kiddie porn databases this year

CSAM and tech companies (this is sarcasm)
Don't worry though, I'm certain that there will be a raid on the implicated tech companies' server locations and arrests of those responsible for these decisions
Any minute now, of course
Because all you straights actually care about children being abused, right?
And you actually want those laws against child porn enforced to the fullest extent even if you can't use it as a cudgel to make life worse for queers right?
RIGHT?

At the end of the day, moderation is about safety. And to be blunt, far too many moderators here don't know what it is to be unsafe.

Holyyyyyyy, it seems sterilizing vaccines might actually happen? If this ends up working out, it’ll be huge. This would mean vaccines which actually meaningfully stop transmission!

We already know Google’s Web Platform Baseline does not consider AT, so it seems unlikely this will be tracked.

Imagine if *all* the listboxes on your site abruptly failed at once.
You would have to get on that *fast* given how much of a barrier that introduced. You might be shouted at. Sued?
Google Chrome broke listboxes across the web for all TalkBack users… let’s see… 9 months ago!

kinda meta, more politics
You can often see people complaining about things like the fediverse, going "but how do I know what instance to use???" - and that's not specific to the fediverse, it occurs in many places.
What I think isn't discussed often enough is how this seems to be indicative of a much broader societal problem; people have become so accustomed to choices being made for them, that it seems like they have entirely lost the ability to navigate social spaces and conflicts.
This same problem reoccurs in other contexts; consider all the reporting about how people are growing increasingly lonely and don't know how to make social contacts, for example. Or how social organizing is at an all-time low in many places.
And again, the same thing in any discussion around conflicts in social circles; arguments go in endless circles and nothing ever gets talked out or resolved. Nobody ever takes accountability, empathy is generally missing.
It's like a lot of people have completely unlearned how to exist in, and take agency over their social spaces, in the span of what, two decades? Should this not be extremely worrying?
(Disclaimer: this is written from my perspective, based on the people and communities I interact with - that's not just nerds, but it probably also isn't going to be representative of the whole world, and I don't know where the exact boundaries are)
