I'm interested to know what folks think.

Does application design start with:

@laumapret "izlasiet monogrāfiju" ir rupjība =)

When I was a kid, I marvelled at the smart kids with amazing projects and this and that. "Wow. That kid is so amazing and I'm not"

As an adult, I finally realize how much work it is to set up my child to do this and that. The fair she's going to today would not have happened without me running around starting with borrowing a sewing machine, then buying fabric, getting her set up with patterns. Even learning to sew in the first place was because of one of my friends.

This is a kind of privilege I never knew as a kid.

Despite all the memes, it's hard to appreciate privilege. My daughter experiences more than I ever did. I had more than my parents did.

We don't have a lot of control over these things but it's important to acknowledge and appreciate them. It's the lack of acknowledgement from the billionaire class that's the problem.

Do Not Obey in Advance.

For the love of God, all you did was switch social media platforms. You are not a “refugee”

Problēma jau nav tiktokā. Pilnīgi visas platformas ievāc lietotāju datus dažādiem mērķiem. Pilnīgi visās platformās ir gan nopirktu botu bari, gan propogandas konti. Nav jābloķē viena konkrēta platforma, jārisina pašas problēmas. FB ir gan naciķu grupas, gan anormālas dezinfo kampaņas. X vispār pieder galēji labējam miljardierim ar slimīgu vēlmi ietekmēt pasaules kārtību. Just fucking quit! Lietojiet atvērta koda decentralizētas platformas. Un valdībām jārisina šī augošā problēma, nevis jābloķē platformas pašas

@patrickcmiller Without having read the article, I'd love to see a ban on GDPR violating cars in EU. You know, stuff like https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/ or the talk on VW at 38c3.

And then let's do it right and have physical separation between infotainment and controller networks. And of course no permanently active sim card(s), but only in case of emergency or at choice.....

And then I might be willing to even buy chinese cars.

btw, with tiktok being banned, there are now american military service members uploading videos of their workplace on "rednote"

i have no words for this

Using an adblocker can significantly improve your online experience - especially on slower connections - by reducing the load imposed by streaming ads, blocking unwanted connections and decreasing exposure to tracking and malware.

And it blocks ads.

lol

It's interesting how some folks simply don't believe this is possible. I suppose because they've never seen it happen.

What's that joke about the Queen thinking everywhere smells of fresh paint...?

Europe is buying russian gas at an unprecedented rate in 2025, spending billions of dollars the kremlin can use to fund its war in #Ukraine just weeks after the end of a major transit agreement raised hopes the continent may break its dependency

Data collected by commodities intelligence firm Kpler and analyzed by POLITICO reveals that in the first 15 days of 2025, the European Union's 27 countries imported 837,300 metric tons of liquefied natural gas from russia.
