Good news! The rainbow crossing (or "gaybrapad") on the Stadsring in #Amersfoort has been restored. It had been removed together with all the other road markings for the resurfacing of the road, but it's now back in all its glory. Just in time for #pride month!

Many Dutch academics tend to be more concerned about "polarisation" than about genocide and consider the word 'racism' more offensive than racism itself. These are not unrelated.

One way to know that “AI is coming for your jobs” is a bluff is to see it paired with “and cancer will be cured.” The same Ferengis pushing AI are also working to cut funding for medical research! No cure for cancer is forthcoming without working scientists. bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai

re: "AI" 

@joepie91 @wxcafe right? Like I had an IDE that could generate boilerplate function templates from inferred use as well as common code patterns and fragments using autofill (from a custom template language) all the way back in 2004!

The marginal benefit of an LLM if it made no mistakes is waaaaay smaller than they think it is. Enough for even a modest number of mistakes to wash it out in terms of execution time

NSFW, Looking for Kink Toy, Ball Gag 

Reaching out to all the weirdos out there: does anyone know where I can get a ball gag with a squeaker in it? It doesn't necessarily need to be a ball, I just want a gag that squeaks when you bite.

"If they have to do it, they should do it in private."

"Yeah!"

"It's not right, doing it in the open where kids can see."

"Yeah! It's not like they have to, it's something they choose to do."

"waarom betaalt Tata 94 keer minder energiebelasting dan een gewone burger en is dat eerlijk?"

En misschien moet ik ook nog maar eens herhalen wat er moet gebeuren om wel tot oplossingen te komen: de AGENDA bepalen.

Asiel, migratie en andere hetze-onderwerpen kan alleen maar extreem-rechts van profiteren.
