I want to better understand how people decide to donate to things. Therefore, a little poll! 
Do you donate to people/projects through Patreon, or through other services? Why or why not? (Please elaborate in the replies if you can.)

Our lovely clown show of a prime minister found out the plans of his government aren't popular at all, and is now asking his government to start talking with the opposition about making better plans that are supported by them.
This is what you get when you make a budget based on resentment without a majority in the senate 🙃

A lot of ADHD researchers could be saving a lot of time and "further research required" statements by, y'know, actually asking folks with ADHD what they need

Voorwaarschuwing voor de Dutchies hier: maandag is het weer NL-Alert testdag om 12:00. Dus dat gaat wat lawaai uit je telefoon geven.
Early warning for the Dutchies here: Monday it is again NL-Alert test day at 12:00. That will create some loud noise from your phone.

Got a marketing email from an app that sells train tickets, informing me that their “Crazy Black Friday Sale” is beginning on the 30th November, which is the Saturday
This doesn’t fill me with confidence about their ability to sell me tickets for travelling on the correct date…

only half serious take: a company's website search being absolute dogshit should be considered an accessibility issue and you should be able to sue them for it

Oproepje voor mijn Friese volgers.
Er is een echte Friese Mastodon-instance, maar die worstelt om overeind te blijven. Weinig donaties, hij draait vooral op de privé-investeringen van de beheerder.
Weten jullie in je omgeving mensen of organisaties die trots zijn op hun Friese roots en dat best willen uitdragen op de Fediverse via een Friese naam? Wie kent er nou het top-level domein ".frl" tenslotte? 😉

in an effort to get folks to contribute more to the most marginalized folks' mutual aid requests, i'm open for small sketch requests for donations. send me proof of $10+ donation to a black or indigenous person's mutual aid and you get a little doodle request !
here is a non exhaustive list of such requests (updated 3/15): https://weirder.earth/@thief/114155764209364196

healthcare, economics
Incredible how much *not being poor* would've changed my HRT journey.
14 months of therapy seeking and waiting times ➡️ 0-1 month
5 months of being bullied by only local gyno willing to take me in ➡️ 0-1 month
9 month (ongoing) struggle finding a public conservation clinic + doc communication ➡️ 0-1 month
Change to less lethal but pricier medication ➡️ anytime
Probably wouldn't have had to go DIY, which is where I'm cornered rn, cause healthcare system is failing me so hard

Ich habe hier einen ganzen Eimer mit Einweg-Kühlpacks rumstehen.
Im Prinzip sind die noch gut zu gebrauchen und für den Müll zu schade.
Hat jemand in #Aachen Interesse daran?
Ich gebe sie kostenlos ab.

A website I really miss is browsershots.org
It could create screenshots of a website in a quite a wide variety of browsers
It could be recreated as an open source project though... QEMU/Wine... Kinda expensive to run as SaaS but a modern computer can easily spawn 50+ parallel browsers in a minute I think
http://web.archive.org/web/20190102012353/http://browsershots.org/
I've linked my work-in-progress chat client in a few places now, and some of the most notable commentary includes "why does it look like basic Qt" and "are you making an IRC client?" which means I'm probably on the right path, given that it's a Matrix client that runs in a browser and the project is partly intended to disprove people's assumptions about what that means

Racism, sexism and bigotry in porn
I remember there once was a meme or a post going around basically saying "are you a white cishet male or are you a porn category?" and I hate how accurate that still is..
Whenever I make the mistake of visiting mainstream porn sites I am reminded that if you want to see people of color, feminine people who aren't straight up underweight, trans people, queerness or otherwise anything that's NOT white people having straight sex you need to look through dedicated kink categories that specifically fetishize minorities. I do not understand how in the year of our lord 2024 it's still ok to have shit like "BBC", "blacked" and other similar "kinks" that reduce people of color to a weird fantasy of dominance on practically all the major porn sites.. If anyone out there is into that while believing it's not blatantly rooted in racism I think they have some serious introspection to do.
