you ever look at something and go, wow i wonder what has this thing seen?
like when i see graffiti on trains, who drew that? where? when?
it's just so interesting to me
this, i suspect, at some point belonged to a german school/university or business, so it just makes me wonder, what was it used for? what were they pointing at, presumably creating those scratches? how did it even end up here?

way back in 2017, jackson lango started writing a dev log about his passion project: an ascii/ansi adventure called Terminal Rain.
i was instantly in love with his lighting and animation. in an era overloaded with knockoff cyberpunk aesthetics, he had a keen eye for atmosphere and mood
it broke my heart when the blog went defunct a year later, and then disappeared entirely by 2020. waybackmachine sadly didn't archive any of his artwork.
these two images are the only surviving examples of his game as it existed back then.
Kans is groot dat ik zelf met dit idee aan de slag ga. Moet nog wel even kijken of ik andere mensen kan vinden die mee willen doen met organiseren enzo.

You know what? No. A team I've never heard from cannot invite me to a 9am Monday meeting out of nowhere. What the fuck?
Idee: website waar je gratis activistische stickers kunt bestellen, en waar je zelf als ontvanger de postzegelcode koopt en bij je bestelling invult. Dan hoeft er helemaal niets met geldstromen en administratie gedaan te worden.

Asking for a friend (genuinely): can anyone in the UK recommend a therapist (with availability) who's queer, kink, polyam? For remote sessions. Friend is trying Pink Therapy but no luck yet, and some other org that I can't remember, but I figured I'd ask here too :)
It was probably just a minor technical defect as the train was just delayed by 5 minutes in the end; it sat a small distance away from the station for those 5 minutes

@njion I just looked up what that train is and... yeah that's got the design where if any water gets into the HVAC duct area it gets launched in passengers' faces. That's not nice.

So far it seems like people have only two possible reactions to seeing the WinRAR purse. Either they immediately know what it is, or they think it looks… familiar, but they can't quite tell why. …and one person who yelled "WinZIP" at me.

Firms will no longer be allowed to ‘ghost’ candidates that they interviewed for a job under new rules coming into effect in the Canadian province Ontario.
An update to the Employment Standard Acts will oblige firms to notify candidates about the status of their application within 45 days.
The new rules, which will apply from 2026, will also oblige firms to outline salary details in adverts and disclose whether artificial intelligence is used in the hiring process.

A stranger’s rude question left me in fear of one word
"All this, I later learned, meant I technically qualified as disabled, but I never thought of myself that way.
I remember having this preconceived idea of what being disabled looked like: either you were a wheelchair user or someone who was hard of hearing and that was it. There was no in-between, no grey area."
