Friend shared a chonky landing page for a Major Cloud Vendor's offerings...and y'all, I don't think anyone has internalised how high on their own supply the contemporary JS community is.

It takes some cirrostratus levels of disconnectedness to believe your `chatbot.js` is fine when it clocks in at ~750K (wire, 3MB unzipped) INCLUDING ITS OWN COPY OF REACT, lodash, every polyfill you've ever heard of, and 269 embedded `data:image/...` URLs.

Dit maakt het argument van overbevolking niet alleen onjuist, maar ook racistisch. Toch is het een argument dat maar vaak blijft terugkeren in de klimaatbeweging en zeker niet alleen maar door mensen die zichzelf achter een fascistische partij scharen. [5/5]

Hoe herkennen we ecofascisme? Vaak wordt beweerd dat de klimaat- en ecologische crisis door overbevolking komt, maar dit klopt niet. Volgens Oxfam is de rijkste 10% van de bevolking verantwoordelijk voor meer dan de helft van de wereldwijde broeikasgasuitstoot. [3/5]

Ecofascisme geeft gemarginaliseerde groepen, voornamelijk mensen van kleur in het Mondiale Zuiden, de schuld van de klimaat- en ecologische crises. Hoe kunnen we ecofascisme in de klimaatbeweging herkennen, buiten de deur houden en zorgen dat het geen kans krijgt? [1/5]

absolutely wild that people will rail against graffiti but are fine with advertisements being plastered all over everything. corporations have more rights than people

Thursday is more of a Monday than Monday is. Because you keep thinking it's gotta be Friday by now but it's not. You'd never think that about Monday. Everyone knows Monday is Monday and frankly we deserve it. But no one *deserves* Thursday. Not like this.

If you generate a lot of fresh Let's Encrypt certificates today, and don't enable auto-renewal, they will expire on December 25th, giving you a good excuse to leave your family dinner early.

It's now too late for Marcellus Williams, but it's not too late for Robert Roberson. On Oct 17, Texas will execute him for a crime he absolutely did not commit. Make it a big deal. youtu.be/ifpEfj1_hzQ

OV gaat achteruit: de auto is altijd sneller, zelfs in de spits

Hoeveel jaar draaide de vroemvroempartij aan de knoppen?

"Bastiaanssen denkt dat beleidsmakers zich niet goed genoeg realiseren dat een kwart van de huishoudens in Nederland geen auto heeft."

Niet realiseren? Die mensen hebben gewoon niet voor succes gekozen. Vroem! Vroem!

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, who silences African voices on Meta, displaces us native Hawaiians here with 1000-acre mega-bunkers, *owns* a freshwater reservoir as we die from poisoned H20, embodies the US empire in Hawaii -rich settler colonizers ethnic cleansing us indigenous.

GDPR, transmisia, positive-ish legal ruling 

The Court of Justice of the EU has ruled that under the GDPR, the asylum documentation of a refugee in Hungary must be corrected to reflect their identified gender (as opposed to assigned-by-government gender). There are some caveats to it however.

While evidence of its correctness may be expected to process the change, that evidence requirement *may not* include having undergone gender reassignment surgery, as this would be in conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights.

A major factor in the ruling was that the refugee was granted asylum on the basis of being trans in the first place, and this served as an implicit recognition by the government that their identified gender is correct, from a GDPR perspective.

The full details of the ruling are here: gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=CJE

for the record, if you see any Dutch people being weird about what's happening in Donald Duck Weekblad this week, I assure you they haven't read it in years and are just being a racist who nobody should be paying attention to

We report late at night, the misty moon barely risen: we think it might start to rain. We have felt a few drops on the back of our neck, but it is, for good reason, a little bit difficult to make out potential rain clouds. This is a chilly night, but we hear a few crickets still.

Students, remember that science and Big Science aren’t the same things. Don’t let your professors fool you. You can learn to do science without becoming a cog. Don’t let them force you where you do not want to go.

What's that? You're still doubting the power of grass?

This is 24 hours later. I have a glasses kit. I just wanted to see how long it would last with regular daily use. Absolutely badass stuff, grass.

Someone shared a comic I liked, but I noticed that somewhere in the chain, the artists name had been removed, so that stopped me. Reverse image searching proved surprisingly frustrating and involved diving into the cesspit of LinkedIn, but I eventually identified the artist as Irina Blok, but I can't link to the original image because its in Instagram jail, so here's her site.

That was a pain in the ass. Please don't trim credits. It's an asshole move.
