Verdict: I think the municipality is serious about it, but the format this time didn't really work that well. Overwhelmingly cishet white folks it seemed, and definitely some people overwhelming the roundtable 'group' conversation. Not much room for going into any real depth, a lot of repetition.
I'll cut them some slack since it was their first attempt, though! They intend to adjust the format based on feedback, and do these regularly, apparently.
I did get the impression that the person taking notes on behalf of the municipality was doing a good job and genuinely understanding the points. I think 1:1 conversations would've worked better here, there really wasn't enough time or preparation for the 'group' aspect to add that much.

Poverty is on the rise in Africa. The pain, however, is not evenly distributed.
On average, lived poverty is at its worst level in a quarter-century of Afrobarometer surveys.

fatphobia
jesus christ fatphobia is way too socially acceptable, like, it really is one of the final levels of just being normal about a person, apparently
but also, the VITRIOL people will have when you confront them about it is like, genuinely confusing
not to sound all naive or w/e it's just like
so many people get REALLY defensive and emotional about hating fat people

On a more serious note - fuck raspberry for hiring ex-cop with proficiency in surveillance then doubling down when they got backlash. We didn’t forget, we will not forget.
Find better board if you need one, don’t default to raspberry, there are plenty competitors

Anyway they're organizing a... thing for residents to show up to and discuss how local inclusivity can be improved, which I'll be going to this evening, so I guess we'll learn more about how serious they are about this 🙂
(Well technically I learned this a few days ago and forgot to post it)
Today I learned that we have an alderman of Inclusivity in my municipality

University Staff United, just won recognition for 1800 student and instructional services staff at #UMich, their first bargaining unit and about 10% of the university's staff. Their goal is to unionize all staff not covered by other campus unions. #Solidarity https://aftmichigan.org/university-of-michigan-student-and-instructional-services-staff-unionize/

675,480 requests within 48 hours, +100GB of traffic coming from 843+ IP addresses.
That's the result of a single AI crawler finding my forgejo instance for personal projects.
This specific crawler is now "banned". I'm not angry or anything, rather just disappointed that AI makers make shoddy crawlers. It made me however find the issue in my filter list that made me earlier disable certain blocking rule because it targeted legitimate traffic.

I've been trying to dig deeper into ZFS internals lately. Found some questions asked a couple years ago that looked promising, only to find out that those questions were answered back then. By me. This has happened five times now.

If anyone else wants the FLAC copy, here you go: http://temp.sh/Qcsid/filthy-kicks-flac.7z (expires in 3 days)
(I re-discovered it while going through my local music folder, which has survived through all these years, somehow)
I originally discovered this in the early 2010s while trawling Jamendo for neat stuff. I still have a FLAC copy here, grabbed from the undocumented FLAC download endpoint. Possibly the only FLAC copy in existence now?

@joepie91 That is one of the most badass pieces of album art I've ever seen.
Music recommendation: https://www.jamendo.com/album/56612/dirty-little-secret
Unfortunately they don't seem to have done anything else since that album, which is a shame!

Optie B: de zaak weer nationaliseren, en retroactief alle winsten van investeerders sinds de privatisering terugvorderen. Ook een prima optie, wat mij betreft.
