Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

it really doesn’t sit well with me that German documentaries on something about Poland always feel the need to clarify what whatever place was called before the Oder-Neisse line
“Rzepin, das frühere Reppin” no. stop. you lost that right circa 1945
has the same vibe as some Dutch presenter saying “Jakarta, the former Batavia”, eww.

Hmmmm. De AH Bio thee lijkt van dezelfde leverancier te komen als de Lidl-thee. Ik vraag me nu toch wel af wie dat is.
spoiler (character, not plot), re: sci-fi book, sort of uspol
The authoritarian in the story is incredibly egocentric, and sees themselves as the necessary saviour of the world, the one who 'keeps peace', and goes to great length and cruelties as a result, constantly blurring the lines in their internal rationalizing between 'serving Earth' and serving their own personal interests and - most crucially - their own sense of being 'attacked'

PSA
Cleaning screens with alcohol (e.g. generic IPA) is *NOT* safe and may cause damage to the screen
Please use dedicated screen cleaner spray/foam

Wenn Union und FDP sagen "Leistung muss sich wieder lohnen", dann übersieht man leicht, dass hier nicht gemeint ist, dass diejenigen, die leisten und diejenigen, für die es sich lohnt, dieselben Personen sind.

I am currently reading the Saving Mars series of books by Cidney Swanson, which involves a colony on Mars and an Earth that is globally ruled by an authoritarian. Interestingly, some of the chapters are written from the perspective of the authoritarian and their inner rationalizing.
In the past few days, it has now happened to me several times where I read something said by Trump, and it tracks almost 1:1 with the behaviour and rationalizing of the authoritarian in the story.
It's a little unsettling.
For anyone else using Fluorecare tests: is it normal for a positive (COVID) result to show up almost immediately after inserting the sample?
With other tests I've only ever seen this with (apparently) high viral loads, but so far we've confirmed a positive test in two of us in this household, and in both cases the positive-result line appeared within a few minutes, long before the reading time

The non-profit radio station I listen to in the morning is doing their fundraiser. Going off all about how much they support local arts and culture.
Their main page has a butt-ugly AI picture of what's trying to be dahlias. Which is funnier than it should be since dahlias aren't even Spring flowers.
I decided it would be a real shame if someone called in and said, *Lose the AI slop if you really do care about local Arts and aren't just blowing smoke.*

Did you know you can buy a tiny anvil and shaping hammers and smooth out and fix tiny metal things!? reshaping, smoothing dents, etc.
The anvil is so tiny and you will feel so cool!!
Like, they sell meal shakes and meal bars. How many possible ways exist to market those?!
I'm kind of impressed at how many distinct marketing e-mails with different themes Jimmy Joy manages to send, given that they have essentially been selling the same thing for years on end with very little changes (which is a good thing, it just makes the volume of marketing a bit... weird)
I'm pretty sure the corvids on the roof here have been trying to pry off the meshes that are preventing them from accessing the space under the solar panels, by using branches/sticks as levers...
But like, hey, birbs, it's *really* not a good idea to start nesting there, you do not want a nest fire

World against racism! Dit weekend staan er door de hele wereld protesten in het kader van de Internationale Dag tegen Racisme. De dag werd uitgeroepen na de slachtpartij bij Soweto, Apartheid Zuid-Afrika. In Nederland staan morgen bijvoorbeeld een brede demo in Amsterdam en antifascistische actie in Baarn morgen. Sluit je aan!

Hey! I'm looking to start an itch.io game bundle for queer game developers. Your game doesn't have to be about being trans or queer or even feature queer characters. I want to start the bundle for the main purpose of raising money for queer people that need it.
Your game can be really weird! Your game can be unfinished! It can be long or short! I want to not only raise money for developers like us, but I want to get eyes on our little or big projects. I'm aiming to have the bundle run for two weeks in May starting on the 17th!
There will be no tiers and money will be distributed equally amongst the developers. I want to help support developers like myself that are often overlooked by people. Not all of us have the time or money to make a long game or even a complete game, but I want to get us more money to hopefully feel securer in life each year and maybe give us more resources for our passion projects, or more importantly, things like food!
If you're interested feel free to reply here and I'll DM you!
