Once again thinking about how so many developers are failing to learn valuable lessons about performance/efficiency and dependency systems from the JS ecosystem, because they're too invested in shittalking JS to actually try and understand how anything works *and why*

youtube playlist link re: alt-right tactics 

"The Alt-Right Playbook," by Innuendo Studios.

The topics discussed here are not unique to the alt-right in the so-called United States of America, but that sociopolitical environment is used as the basis for the majority of comparisons to modern politics.

Edit: Unfortunately, Innuendo Studios is now on hiatus due to capitalism. youtu.be/vlf8c8SV39o

Hey. Furries.

Watch this.

The integrity of our fandom depends on being able to identify this bullshit for what it is and *stop it.*

(If your first response to this is something along the lines of "there's nothing to learn" or "yes the valuable lesson is that JS is bad", then I am talking about you here, and I ask that you sit and think for a moment about *why* that was your response)

re: nonsense with more misinfo 

@networkexception thumbs.db was created bij Microsoft after a ruling of the European Commission to increase competition

Currently in a mood where "Through the Fire and Flames" doesn't have a high enough BPM to scratch my brain just right

going through more old magazine scans - found this that I'd found a very beat-up brochure scan from the launch of the original TGV of so I spent a few hours cleaning it up in Photoshop so I could make it into a poster for myself. never did, of course, because that would require me living in one place for more than eight months, but someday maybe.

i find it funny how gymbros with bulky roided muscles get pissed off that a lot of women like androgynous looking Kpop idols and then complain about the 'downfall of masculinity' as copium because they didn't get attention from women

I want to make a PCB that could hold the following connector

could I put some surface mount metal pieces on top so the board can hold the connector in place? how do you call these parts? I tried looking on AliExpress, not found something that looks like what I want

I could not find the original specification of the plug, but according to my own measurement the pins have a diameter of around 4mm (measured with ruler, imprecise)

boost appreciated

food 

The new(?) no-added-sugar chocolate at Lidl is very nice!

It seems to be super similar to the very tasty fairtrade/organic chocolate that they used to have in the past?

Dishes check! Anything lurking around you that could go to the kitchen?

ableism, the second rule of thumb we want everyone to learn 

ableist insults are still ableist even if you're insulting yourself. including the intelligence-based ones.

it goes against both self-loathing and social modesty, yes, but you're just going to have to learn to accept your mistakes and idiosyncrasies and find new, healthier strategies to acknowledge your fallibility. we hate it, too.

don't use medical language as an insult

that's names of personality disorders, developmental disorders, widely-documented neurodivergences, classes of injury, none of it

go ahead and get rid of references to drugs, too, while you're at it

talk about what people do and are doing and keep doing, not about what medicalized group you assume is sufficiently inferior to 'normal' people to do what they do

hey did you know that since 2017, the PNG format officially supports embedding EXIF metadata?

did you know that even prior to that, because PNG is an extensible format by design, tools like ImageMagick could preserve EXIF metadata when converting to PNG by embedding it in a nonstandard chunk?

in the context of some of my recent posts, can you see where I'm going with this?

Welkom op mastodon, vandaag hebben we het over orgels

"De [Voetgangersvereniging] werd in 2000 opgeheven in verband met de fusie met twee andere verkeersveiligheidsorganisaties: Veilig Verkeer Nederland en Stichting Kinderen Voorrang. Ze werden hiertoe gedwongen door het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat, dat de organisaties subsidieerde. [...] Ondanks de intentie van de fusie verdween de bredere benadering, waaronder bijvoorbeeld de specifieke behartiging van voetgangersbelangen steeds meer uit zicht. [...] In 2012 vond een verdere reorganisatie en verdere koersverandering plaats waarbij de laatste medewerkers van de kleine fusiepartners werden ontslagen."

food, vegetarian 

Today's dinner; almost entirely vegan, though my burger (out of 4) has dairy cheese rather than vegan cheese. Contains mushrooms, onion, bellpepper, cucumber, some chard leaf from my own garden(!), and a nice well-spiced sauce!
