"When we expose the idea of “normalcy” as a capitalist invention, we open up new possibilities for social reorganization. “Normalcy” is not a universal truth, but a social construction rooted in the demands of capitalist production. The idea that certain bodies are more valuable, more productive, or more capable than others is a narrative created to uphold the capitalist order. Normalcy is rooted in the logic of efficiency, which always boils down to extracting more value with less effort. >

Continuation of ereader battery replacement thread: I replaced the battery in my own ereader too (it's the same PRS-505 but in black), and I would like to remind you that we thought about batteries very differently back in 2007.

Did you forget that in 2007 you didn't have to plug your phone in every night? Remember the INDIGNITY you felt when you bought your first colour phone or even smartphone, and it sucked so much energy that you had to turn the screen off when you weren't using it?

Anyway, I put in a new battery and charged it five days ago, read for a couple of hours every day, and can report that last night the battery display dropped from four bars to three.

So that's probably three weeks between charges aye. On a 750mAh battery smaller than a box of tic-tacs.

Look what they've stolen from us. Demand better. We deserve better.

I’m looking for music reccomendations! 🎶🎧

Especially female vocalists like Neko Case, boygenius, Laura Veirs, Gillian Welch, The Secret Sisters.

It feels almost bizarre to say, but at the end of this year almost all fossil fuel vehicles will have been eliminated from public transport in the four largest cities of the Netherlands. I remember when the large scale electrification of the bus vehicle fleet first started at the end of 2016, and that isn't even ten years ago!

Bumping this because I've once again come across Breadchain Cooperative in the wild. This is a reminder that it's not a cooperative because it operates on "one share/one vote" not "one member/one vote." It is a redwashing of a perfectly ordinary blockchain grift.

The trial period with the eCitaro at is going better than planned, starting Monday the eCitaro vehicles can be seen on all bus lines. This will also mean HTM is finally starting to retire the old CNG buses from 2009-2011 (these are considered old for Dutch standards).

From Monday 3 March, the articulated eCitaro will also be put on trial on line 24.

you can probably hire better devs by going "pspspspsps" than you can with most of the job ads I see

Incredibly, the National Cyber Security Centre have added my http://tla20xx.org Dutch hacker-camp redirect domain to the malware blocklist, so nobody working in a government department can access it

Tipp für Journalisten: Bevor du etwas über Züge schreibst, frage vielleicht jemanden, der sich mit Eisenbahnen auskennt, um einen Kommentar. So verhinderst du vielleicht, dass dein Artikel zwischen PR-Geschwafel und völligem Mist landet.

it's been a year and I still hate the almost imperceptably pink gradient on the end of the youtube playback progress bar. so ugly.
