Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

WAAR ZIJN DIE MONDKAPJES EIGENLIJK GOED VOOR?
We zijn in een samenleving aangeland waarin je laten besmetten verplicht is. Daar werk je toch niet aan mee? Antikapitalisme is ook een strijd voor ons aller gezondheid en zorg voor elkaar!

"We should be appreciative of the effort that the developers have put into this."
No, I am not in fact going to be appreciative *or respectful* of "a bunch of techbro developers taking the path of least effort and just glueing in a labour exploitation API that generates misinformation, because they can't be bothered to respect other people's labour"

@noracodes one thing I discovered running a cute fandom thing for a long time, including many years of depression-breaks,
is that user communities develop huge expertise at the level they best understand
when I leave something broken for a while, people create rigorous knowledge in how the system actually works, and share intricate practices for how to work around it
and it’s often for a bug that would take me half a day to fix if I only had the half-day; but I don’t, so they find their way without needing me
idk I think a lot of engs would be surprised how many people have developed deep technical expertise in the system they built and its bugs and limitations, and deep workflows they’ve never conceived of—because users often don’t have access to the same tools, but refuse to be beholden

If you're not too keen on supporting streaming services like Disney+, Netflix and Apple TV, remember that your local library has a decent selection of DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
And while a subscription on streaming services is upwards of $15 per month, a library membership is anywhere between $0 and $50 per year.
In addition, employees there are usually super helpful and nice.

this is extremely important and needs to be pointed out more:
most of the AI shit doesn't even fucking work.
it doesn't have to work to sell, of course. might even help sell.
but we need a lot more talking about the fact that this garbage is completely fucking fraudulent.

FYI: for new users: It might seem counterintuitive, but you shouldn't censor your words with symbols because by doing that, you're circumventing fellow users' word filters.

Onszelf zien als een organisatie mag echter niet gelijkgesteld worden aan gelijkschakeling en het negeren van verschillen. We worden allemaal op verschillende manieren onderdrukt en uitgebuit binnen dit systeem. Binnen de basisorganisatie moet het daarom een doel zijn om onszelf te zien als deel van een organisatie waarin we samen strijden voor elkaar en voor een fundamentele verandering in de samenleving. We willen de verdeeldheid overwinnen die gebaseerd is op bepaalde structurele onderdrukkingen die momenteel heersen in de maatschappij, en iets gemeenschappelijks creëren waarin we zij aan zij strijden in onze diversiteit.

@joepie91 Fijn he? En ze blijven het maar doen, met als gevolg dat iedere wandelstraat nu twee tot drie keer overnieuw moet. En vaak voldoet de vervanging niet, of maar deels. Hier is bijvoorbeeld voor het station de spekgladde bestrating nu vervangen door iets ruwers, maar wel met glazen banen die de ondergrondse fietsenstalling moeten voorzien van daglicht. 🤦

My favorite line from any Apple II manual, the one that encourages you to play around and learn BASIC, when encouraging the user that an error message doesn’t mean you’ve broken anything permanently was:
And if the computer beeps at you, beep back.

People complain about inter-instance drama on the fediverse and, yeah I get it. It's super annoying when a bunch of people you don't know get into it for reasons you don't care about and it affects your social space. It does suck!
But the fediverse is a network of social spaces containing millions of people, owned and operated by a bunch of regular people, and people are messy so sometimes things will get messy on here. It sucks, but it's inevitable. Expected, even
To be honest given all that I'm kind of shocked how smoothly things seem to go for most of us on here most days

Literally everyone who wants to use ChatGPT at work should be required to spend a whole day listening to ChatGPT explain things you know very, very well. There's nothing like reading absolute nonsense in that very authoritative tone it uses.

"Die richt zich onder meer op de bedrijven Nestlé Waters (van o.a. Perrier en Vittel) en Sources Alma (van o.a. Cristaline en Vichy-Célestins). ,,Deze bedrijven laten de consumenten geloven dat ze natuurlijk water verkopen, terwijl het gaat om water dat in het verleden vervuild is geweest en dat op illegale wijze behandeld is’’, aldus de advocaat van Foodwatch."
