The consequences of pro-car and anti-bike lane policies and opinions of the CDU, the SPD, and the general German society and police force is murder, and the politicians are as much at fault as this murderous driver was

I know that crows can do mimicry, but where in Berlin would a crow have learned to imitate a goat?

I love strange men who don't understand "no" and "fuck off"

Is there a backpack brand that people don't regret buying? My current backpack is falling apart and I need a new everyday bag (laptop, camera, battery, occasionally some shopping), and it seems hard to say that any of the popular brands care about making bags that last more than a year or two?

usb-c spoiled me so much, being able to make sure that any usb-c cable and brick works with any usb-c device is so much better than looking through a pile of powerbricks that all look similar enough with similar enough plugs and all say nintendo and none are interchangeable unless you like magic smoke

I will continue saying that free software would suck less if free software had more ideology, not less. If free software embodied more leftist beliefs, it would find itself probably less funded, but also much more resilient against such garbage infiltration.

Of course instead what we got is the open source movement, because what free software really needed was less ideology, that's really helped things

Could we maybe have a little purity politics please? So that self-described left wing parties don't have fucking bigots that manage to be more regressive than the average tory in charge?

After only 2 weeks of having an Apple Watch I've had it fail to charge several times, in all cases seemingly because the wireless charger crashed, and this is why I think the future we live in is just deeply disappointing

Finally got past the early bit in botw that had me bouncing off the game for the last 3 years, and wow, I totally see why people like it, starting about 10 hours and 3 major quests in! I hope Nintendo takes their time with a new console, I still have so many of their games to play on the switch.

I love that someone at the BBC went "you can't call it 'pizza pie', it's not a pie!" and then wrote this absolutely deranged recipe for an actual pizza pie, or as I like to call it, English style deep dish

Is there a tolerable set of earplugs/wireless headphones combo to wear to bed? I'd like the freedom to fall asleep to audiobook recordings of books I've read without forcing my partner to listen to them, but anything bigger than very small earplugs seems impossible to comfortably wear to bed. I don't need incredible battery life, just about 30-45 minutes and competent noise reduction that doesn't depend on battery.

lol, GitHub just notified me they accidentally deleted my passkey which I guess explains why I've not been able to use a passkey for any auth for about a week

The most depressing thing I've ever heard out of my parents is that they (only just now around ~70 for both of them) didn't expect to get to see me into adulthood. Is depression hereditary, or were they just pessimistic realists seeing capitalism ravage their lives?

Declaring cold brew season over was a mistake because of how low effort making cold brew is compared to any other source of caffeine 😩 wish making a v60 wasn't so cognitively difficult when I forgot to get coffee for a while

Ah, exciting, apparently what I thought sounded like someone throwing shit at our windows last night was exactly that - our windows are smeared in rotten fruit! I'd like to think this has nothing to do with us having a pride flag hanging outside, but it's 2023 Germany, it probably does.

It is really hard to come up with even just a semi functional two AP layout in this apartment with how thick the concrete walls are. ~5m from both APs and parts of the kitchen still end up being a deadzone, even on 2.4GHz. Sadly I don't think there is a good solution with several walls that are 12-15cm thick...

The way people aligned with literal nazis during the nix communitty fuck up keep saying they're made to feel unsafe because of demands to exclude them is just an irritating example of how you cannot reason with a fascist, you cannot point out their hypocrisy, there's no "small steps" to take.

People who equate not permitting bigots with bigotry are actively a danger, as much as those bigots who are funding, campaigning, supporting the would be dictators that capitalist democracies create.

I really hope Wayland accessibility support progresses cause I would like to set something like Talon up for bad wrist days, but going back to X is just not a trade-off I'm willing to make (and decreasingly able to, really)

Overhearing @endocrimes call with Microsoft support feels like such an insight into why people fall for scam calls. Level 2 support is somehow more nonsensical and incoherent than Level 1 was, asking questions that make 0 sense about whether it's a Windows license for Mac or PC, and then demanding access over RDP because how else could they possibly do anything.

It feels like this system is designed to ensure that people fall for scam calls.

120 shrines done, most side quests I have found solved, can't decide if it's time to face Ganon or if I should finish the DLC first

All the fun emf posts are almost enough to make me sad to not be there, but I remain staunchly pro beds and plumbing so

labour is totally going to incorrectly relate their local elections wins to them taking an anti trans stance and run on a queer bashing platform for the general election because the current party is a fucking joke where the only unsettled question is whether starmer is a spineless coward or a plant

It's not that tech has a unique fascism problem, it's that the mainstream has a cowardice problem and no one is willing to call a spade a spade as long as it's polite and keeps its nazi shit outside professional circles.

when did people start writing "synch" instead of "sync" and why do I suspect it has something to do with people who insist on saying jif

or do people sincerely pronounce it syntschronised?
