tfw you see a 90s style website but it uses like nuxt js or some shit so includes 500mb of different js files when it could easily have been made in php and/or xslt or even some fucking js static site generator like eleventy or some other thing that maybe even uses jsx or whatever it is

Loving how many of these Cabinet members are non-White and/or women.

Krasnov's going to hate every single member of this government. As he should – because it's none of his business.

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

vague about news & CWs, lack thereof 

fwiw

there is a big difference between educating people to understand what's going on

and creating an endless flood of The Details

like for example, I am exceptionally grateful how many people are relentlessly documenting all of the terrible things happening right now. this is good and important. sharing it, with adequate warning, is good and important

but I don't need All The Details

for example, I am still on the never-ending hell quest to get my partner in the country so we can finally be together. I wish there were an easier path, like me maybe going to her instead, but this is the best we've got. and knowing all of the details about immigration shit, and trans shit, happening right now, is very useful and good.

but quite frankly, I do not need to be inundated with untagged content about the latest border-related suffering happening right now. it does not help. you just make it so sometimes I get so stressed and upset I have to just lie down and accept I'll get nothing good done for the rest of the day.

please tag your posts. giving it without adequate warning does not help

Aha, rich man, you know the laugh’s on you
You live and die by another man’s rule
And when we both are dead and gone
The legend of my kind will still live on

The rich man has no use for me
Nor have I any use for he
He’ll judge a man by the clothes he wears
Judge I a man by the burden he bears

On the other hand, they *did* include a few parts that I didn't actually order

I now also know why the parcel was delayed by a day because the box had clearly been damaged in shipping and patched up with tape

Just received an online order, and using a heatsealer to split a ziploc bag into compartments sure is a... choice.

One that makes the whole 'ziploc' part completely useless 🙃

TL;DR: With Firefox 56, Mozilla combined Firefox Health Report and Telemetry data into a single setting called “technical and interaction data”, which was then enabled by default. This included data about advertising within Firefox’s New Tab page, along with a lot of other technical information about the installation of Firefox. The Firefox preferences UI makes no mention of usage of this technical data for advertising purposes. Mozilla has also recently shared that they share data with their advertising partners “on a de-identified or aggregated basis”. Mozilla has given no indication that this is a new occurrence.

*old man voice* back in my webdev days, every website was just bootstrap2.css, now everything looks like this

Skype is shutting down in May. I've been using it to speak with my grandmother, and I am looking for an alternative, with the following features:
* can do live subtitles (in French)
* works without a phone number/sim card
* can call your contacts and be dialed (i.e. not only invite by email/calendar/url…)
* simple UI/UX (with big buttons) is far more important than feature rich.

I know various things that do some of the above, but I'm not sure what (other than Skype) does all of it.

Any help?

health, ~, food mention 

So I've been adjusting my diet to account for my newly acquired immuno-deficiency and hunger-feeling disruption (because well, post-transplantation meds), switching most of my breakfast away from carbs and uncooked meats etc., and towards yoghurt with seeds, including sunflower seeds. Because that's safe, right?

Well, whaddayathink, the fucking sunflower seeds got recalled because of a potential salmonella contamination. You can't make this shit up 😐

At least I don't seem to have picked up any infections, but this is some "the universe aligning to fuck you up" shit. Fucking sunflower seeds! Of all things!

Rutte has spearheaded over a decade of conservative backsliding in the Netherlands. Never holding any actual positions, just always aligning himself with power. An absolutely ghoul in a suit.

Just another Waymo picking up in the bike lane on Townsend and 3rd. They programmed them to do this on purpose. But sure, tell me again how cyclists should worship robocars as our traffic-safety saviors. 😒 #bikeTooter

MacOS Command Line Tip>

If you kicked off a job and it turns out it’s going to take a lot longer than you thought, and you don’t want to throw away your progress:

^Z
$ fg; say done

This will pause your program, then resume it, but this time you’ll get an audible notification when it completes. Unblock thyself.

The semicolon is important because it’s analogous to a finally block. You’ll get a notification for either success or failure. You can also && say yay || say oh no.

eupol, vague 

Ah, but see, it's *European* tech, so then it's fine!
