I'm sad about not being at #38c3. Not because of regret for not going, not because it's far away, not because it's expensive, or because tickets are hard to get and I didn't get one.
No, my reason for being sad is that it absolutely would have been possible for me to go, if it hadn't been for being socially excluded because orga couldn't be bothered to take even the most minimal air quality and/or public health precautions, turning it from a rare enjoyable social event into a direct risk to my life.

Dit is dus precies waar we al die tijd voor gewaarschuwd hebben, he?

remember, united we are strong ❤️
Trans people in the UK, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, North America, Brazil, Taiwan, India, Russia, Australia, North Africa, South Africa, New Zealand- more places every day- are thinking and talking about ourselves in similar terms, and making similar demands. This has never happened before. Moreover, cis people are slowly realising they are cis. We really have reached a “tipping point,” no doubt in part thanks to the internet. The bodily autonomy of trans people is bound up with the bodily autonomy of all people, particularly cis women who have also suffered for far too long under the paternalistic medicalising gaze. That’s why I think the Colonel Korns of this world are doomed to fail: they are trying to do medicine and management on a civil rights movement.

We've received the first few submissions for #fluConf2025 and are looking forward to seeing even more!
With that in mind, some people reported having trouble finding the link to the application form, so it is now styled as a big button on the home page.
We've also added a navigation header with some important links to the top of the page:

"Because #AI the 4 day work week can come true".
This is bullshit. Recent studies show that we could feed and house and take care of literally _everybody_'s needs with everyone just working 30% of what we consider "full time" today. We literally could all work less than 2 days every week and be fine. Capitalism just doesn't allow for that conceptually. Don't fall for that bogus argument.
"Firefox has performance problems though"
I'm sure it does, as all browsers do, but doesn't it seem a bit weird to you that it's always *Youtube* that people are complaining about, a site which barely has any complexity in it besides showing you a video?

folks, I know that jackass is talking shit about wikipedia and that makes it easy to say “oh go give wikipedia monies!” but as of June 30, 2024, the Wikimedia Endowment’s net assets were $144.3 million. give money to people who need groceries instead.
It's kind of depressing to see otherwise tech-capable folks go "Firefox is so bad, Youtube is absurdly slow all the time" and not for a moment consider that maybe the problem there isn't actually Firefox, but rather the video site famously owned by an anti-competitive monopolist that also owns the most popular browser and so has a *direct interest* in making it slow on Firefox.
Apparently Google's campaign of "only optimizing for Chrome" is working. Fucking hell.

I love how the pandemic happened with the absolute worst waves over late December and early January and covid never went away and how big in-person events in January never changed a goddamn thing. They're still just in January at the height of plague season and they don't bother with masks or ventilation. Good job guys, you've learned absolutely nothing. 👏

Altijd leuk om boodschappen bezorgd te krijgen die je al een tijdje geleden had besteld.
Anna van vorige week vroeg zich blijkbaar af hoe lang de oven non-stop aan kan voor hij het opgeeft.

If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.
The absolute most frustrating thing about stateres design so far, is that "you cannot prove that something happened earlier, only that it happened later"

Ruby and #Rails #jobs don't just have a junior problem. They also have a cross-training problem. Companies claim to have trouble hiring senior software engineers. Their job ads reveal why.
They aren't just asking for seniors--they're asking for years of experience in their specific tech stack. If you're having trouble finding workers but you're turning down people with 10+ years of experience in other languages who want to move into #ruby, you're missing out!

It’s foggy out! Used the pen torch and noticed it was casting a beam so took some photos and videos of it.

The Braillnet project exists to this day, although the BBS and phone numbers are down, users can still access their e-mail, the personal websites the users could create under the Braillnet domain are still up serving software, literature and music created by the community and the FTP with anonymous access is a treasure trove of early notetaker goodies, DOS and early Windows software and useful information in txt files that would have been of great use to the community back then. Always worth exploring it with a translation service of your choice. http://braillnet.cz/sons/bplus.htm
