Det er ikke bra at det har kommet til et punkt nå at jeg blir glad for å se skrivefeil i folks SOME-poster, fordi det er en bekreftelse på at de er menneskeskrevet

Like, it's not that human-written software is especially *good*, god knows we all write enough bugs. It's that, if software has been designed through discussions between humans and then written & reviewed by humans, when something goes wrong there exist humans who already have a lot of context

De som gjør opprør mot kristennasjonalistregimet i USA og mullaene i Iran er i stor grad kristne og muslimer.
Så om du fremstiller opprørene som opprør mot kristendom og islam, gjør du Trump og mullaene til representanter for religionene de pynter maktmisbruket sitt med.
Det blir de nok glade for.

are any of lustre's production users interesting in sponsoring some work to produce something like base-ui but for lustre?
this would be beneficial for everyone but particularly for prod users because building this kind of thing takes time away from product development

A lot of leftists dismiss this out of hand, but I think at least among statists it mostly comes from misreadings of their own ideological ancestors.
Like, Lenin spends half of Left Communism: An Infantile Disorder calling German & British communists stupid babies for boycotting elections lol

i have said this before, but in my opinion, elections are neither guaranteed to save us nor completely toothless. i think the correct posture about elections is "come and take them".
in the event that an election is actually cancelled or rigged, which hasn't happened yet, this calculation changes

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

Okei okei okei, her kjem ei historie frå lærarkvardagen. Vi hadde seksualundervisning og eg sa "gravid person" og så sa ein elev "kvifor seier du gravid person og ikkje kvinne eller mor?" og så sa eg "fordi ikkje alle som er gravide er kvinner eller er eller blir mødre" og så sa eleven "okei. PK?"
Det. Er. En. Veileder. "Ansatte rådes til". Rådes. Råd.
Pål Morten Borgli ut mot Bufdir-råd om kjønnsnøytralt språk: – Det er bare forvirrende
Myndighetene mener at veilederen er helt nødvendig for å hindre diskriminering av barn og unge. Nå kan det gå mot et flertall for å legge den helt ned.

This was a running thread if you followed the BLM movement, that many police shootings of Americans are followed by said police not allowing the victim to receive medical care, and in a number of cause celebre cases observers believed they would have survived if medical help had not been obstructed.
"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I really don’t know how to explain how absurd it sounds to «buy» Greenland.
Greenland belongs to Greenlanders. It can’t be bought or sold.
I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe it’s like selling Hawaii to Japan or Puerto Rico to Russia or Native American reservations to… Mexico?
It’s ridiculous.

Love when iOS updates make the interface less usable, like making the text under icons thinner and thus harder to read, in a way that can’t be reverted without also fucking with everything else in the interface. 🙃
