Weet iemand waar de #Paralympics te volgen zijn? In vorige jaren volgde ik het live op het officiële YouTube kanaal van de Paralympics, maar daar krijg ik nu helaas te zien dat het "in mijn land niet beschikbaar is"... HBO Max had veel van de Olympics, dus toen ging ik daar checken... Maar ook daar geen Paralympics.

Does anybody know where to follow the Paralympics? In previous years, I followed it live on the Paralympics' official YouTube channel, but when I go to the live feeds there now, it says it's not available in my country... HBO Max had a lot of the Olympics, so I checked there next... But there too, no Paralympics.

How to fix homelessness: free housing.

How to beat bus fare evasion: free buses.

Both methods cost less than punishing the poor by criminalizing and jailing them.

If you don't like the idea of being taxed to implement those solutions: I don't care - it would make our society objectively better so your annoyance is a small price to pay.

It's easier to just not listen to the person with ADHD or believe they're lazy rather than having to confront that the system is unfair and that many people cannot succeed in it no matter how much effort they put in. That scares people, so they put up a wall to protect their existing belief, which means dismissing people's lived experiences

Though neurotypicals are sometimes hesitant to believe that anyone can truly live like this, because it tends to interfere with core beliefs about free will and "everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps"

Getting non-disabled people to understand that some people literally cannot do a thing sometimes no matter how hard they try is a key challenge of disability activism. Because if they accept that, they'd have to challenge core beliefs about society and capitalism working

I've learned over time that neurotypicals generally don't understand the impact of executive dysfunction from #ADHD. I've found that being a little more blunt can help. I tell them that having ADHD is like having inconsistent and unreliable free will.

Because that is literally what it is like for me.

sysadmin things that annoy me: something breaks, I keep looking for it to break again and it doesn't

NL heeft N.B. van alle Europese landen de nog maar het kortst houdbare vaccins. Maar Agema blijft er zo lang mogelijk bovenop zitten:
* asociaal (eigen volk eerst, zelfs als dat veel later of nooit is)
* racistisch (uiteraard, bij een bevriend Westeuropees land lag het vast anders)
* oliedom (een pandemie in de kiem smoren in het land waar die ontstaat is vele malen kansrijker dan als het overal in Europa rondgaat, dan gaat ze ons groepsimmuniteit aansmeren wil ik wedden)

@joepie91 now I think of it, JCDecaux is basically Google for public transit.

Ok so I did a live code review with my masters student im teaching last week, made changes in a branch in multiple commits, opened a PR so they could read through and digest later, so far so normal.

During lab meeting they said "I got some good feedback from jonny, and ill be working through that, but there are like 15 commits so it might take me a bit" which made me go ??? a little but shrugged it off. I was trying to model committing often with each change having a descriptive commit message, but the PR was relatively small and this is not a live/public project, so I figured they would just merge it to main and keep working on it there. We're still working our way up to a stable main/work on feature branches git flow.

It appears as if they thought they had to go through and manually re-apply the changes I had made in each commit in order, not rebasing or cherry picking, but copy and pasting code in their editor. The idea of merging was new to them, as was the entire PR interface. I had made a guide for code review a few months ago with lots of annotated screenshots and etc., but there were enough strange terms that they couldnt really parse it - what the purpose was, what the start point of work done on a branch and end point of merging meant.

Always a reminder that you need to go back further than you think when teaching. I dont know how to balance allowing for self-exploration with scaffolding well, and teaching git is harder than teaching programming sometimes because it's "invisible" and happens between the code, but the code is something you can look at and see.

Thanks to a donation from Clonelocker, the #LG LG535 on TELUS has been dumped!
This is firmware version CX535V13, the last known firmware released for the LG535.
As usual, the firmware dump and corresponding pinout is available on the Dumbphone Repo.

We've just woken to an empty house after having a friend visit for 2 weeks and I'd love to know if a word exists in any language for the contradicting feelings of:

"Extreme relief to have your space back so you can be a feral gruntle beast again and missing someone intensely and wishing they'd stayed longer."

Serieuze vraag: zijn er hier mensen met kennis over de politiek van Cyprus? Het gaat me specifiek om de opdeling in twee delen (Cyprus vs. TRNC) en de huidige relatie daartussen. RT = fijn. Tips waar dit soort informatie te vinden is: ook welkom.

actually this is the median consumer
