"Alle gemeenten moeten vanaf 2026 concrete plannen hebben voor meer staanplaatsen voor woonwagenbewoners en die kunnen verantwoorden aan het Rijk. Dat zegt het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken na vragen van NU.nl over een kritisch rapport over het stelselmatig achterstellen van woonwagenbewoners."

fun fact: if you have a laptop or desktop that has an intel cpu with "vPro" on the sticker there's a chance the management engine in your CPU is just hosting a web server at all times.

It's at port 16992

I've been involved with the Internet continuously pretty much since its earliest ancestor ARPANET days at UCLA ARPANET site #1.

I can assure you that the ARPANET and the Internet into which it evolved were NOT designed to provide a means for a handful of powerful AI firms to suck the world dry without permission or compensation of information en masse, that has mostly been put online for free as a public service, all to enrich the coffers and stockholders of those firms, while giving only lip service (if that) to ethical considerations, and giving the sites from which they slurp data the finger, while laughing all the way to the bank.

Hey do any of my followers in the UK need a binder? I bought a binder fucking years ago when I first came out as trans and I just didn't really feel it and I've been holding onto it ever since because it was expensive and I didn't want to just throw it away without being sure I didn't want a binder

But I really do need to just let it go I think, I can't really wear it because of how my body has changed since then and rather than throwing it I figured I'd let someone else have a chance at using it

It's a 2xl grey gc2b full vest binder, it's got some loose stitching here and there because of my fat ass tryna put it on when I'd clearly outgrown it but it's basically never been worn for any length of time so it still looks pretty new.
I'm happy to send it out for free if you just cover shipping. Please please boost this so I can try and get this to someone who needs it more than me

Nothing screams modern America like the uber-wealthy underpaying the people who maintain their mansions and estates so much that they have to live in tent cities hidden out of view in nearby woods.

Dear Lazyfedi,

I'd kinda like a good 2in1/convertable laptop/tablet. 13"ish, lightweight, probably Intel (since the Linux driver situation with AMD laptops still seems to be quite variable), doesn't need to be massively high performance

Somewhat ambivalent between detachable and fold back keyboard

Do any of you have a device you like?

a quick note:

Am building a plant table from salvaged boards from an old shelving unit. Unfortunately had to buy new wood for the beams, because the few beams that I still had laying around were of highly questionable structural integrity (which is not great for a support frame).

we now only have 3 days until nintendo network (and spotpass with it) shuts down, right now only 8% of all wii u spotpass data has been preserved

if you have a wii u system, please see the links above in the thread and help archive this data; once spotpass shuts down, all data that has not been archived will disappear

I fucking hate this implication that #SexWork is not genuine or positive. The companies ruling over our lives keep getting more and more prude and the oppression of sex workers continues as usual..

And their lack of understanding of power is motivated by a strong desire to justify their own power/privilege.

Back when I was a libertarian, I figured out that there were people who were motivated by racism, but I called this "libertarian for the wrong reasons". I eventually figured out that there was no such thing as a right reason to be a libertarian. There's a reason "left libertarianism" AKA "bleeding heart libertarianism" is still mostly white men.
