My husband informed me of this great little website called "One Minute Park" where you get to see one minute of a park from various places in the world (and you can contribute your own)
Perfect for a minute of peace.

some plural conversation techniques
1. start a journal. choose one colour of pen or pencil for each headmate, and switch between them. pick up every pen at least once per journal entry, and give some time for the headmate to start writing before moving on. for maximum effect, establish different styles of handwriting for each headmate.
2. install the app "tweet note". this mimicks the interface of classical twitter, but fully offline, and you can create multiple accounts and alternate fast between them. it's complete with likes, boosts, replies etc. create one profile for each headmate—the whole deal with avatar, profile description, pinned toots etc.—then open it like you'd browse social media. frequently open the account-switch button and give space for headmates to pick up and reply to stuff.
3. lay a few chairs in a circle, one for each headmate. physically sit on each chair and talk, with your voice, out loud. then get up and sit on other chairs. only that person can speak on that chair. be sure to sit on all chairs throughout the conversation.
warning: conversations done in this way might be much longer than you expected and take you into directions you'd never imagine.
classifieds nonsense (3)
Honestly I don't really understand commercial sellers who sell on these classified sites. Surely this can't actually be sufficiently profitable to make a living, with all the interaction required and no way to automate any of it?
classifieds nonsense (2)
I should see if my "hide commercial spam from the classifieds site" browser plugin also supports just hiding every single commercial seller, probably
classifieds nonsense
Bid 30 EUR on a pile of 6 second-hand board games that all frequently sell on classifieds for 5-10 EUR each. Got a response "no, I want 70 EUR for those". Looked at profile; "commercial seller".
Should've seen this coming, I guess...

May 2025 be the year when people collectively agree that capitalism is just not worth it.

And it's not like the claim here is vague or in dispute either. It essentially boils down to "GrapheneOS could include espeak, but doesn't, because of the license". That claim is *directly* confirmed by the linked post from the project, which states as much.
So where is the misrepresentation, exactly?

The most important factor when selecting which hat to wear is, very obviously, does this coordinate nicely with the socks I'm currently carrying? Do not worry Bella, I've got you covered @madboy99

Like, don't get me wrong, I certainly understand the frustration of being criticized for (often unpaid) work, particularly if the criticisms are inaccurate in some way.
But when you're writing lengthy and loud posts about how you've been "attacked" and "harmed" and "misrepresented" and whatnot, but none of those posts ever actually make a concrete point about *what* exactly is being misrepresented, then I suspect there's something else going on.

Anyone else getting "looking for an excuse to stop doing it" impressions from this?

"You attacked us [by criticizing us publicly] so now we're pausing all work on accessibility" sure is a stance to take, hey

LB: you should be an organ donor if you can. They do typically wait until you're done with the organ in question.
(Typically, there are some living donor things you can do, which are also awesome and good)

In those 10 years, homelessness up 575%.
In 2024, 15,000 people were homeless. 9,000 are families.
Cost? €361,000,000.
€40,111/family/year. €3,343pm
50% are homeless for over 1 year. 20% for over 2 years.
Median home price, €355,000.
Cost? 30 years at 3.0% - €1,496pm
€3,343pm clears that mortgage in 10 years.
We are spending more to keep people on the streets than in homes, with walls made of misery instead of brick. Build homes instead of excuses.
