Brandenburg. Arbeitet die Sozialministerin gegen die Frauen?

Britta Müller, Ressortchefin in Brandenburg und bis vor Kurzem BSW-Mitglied, hält Geld für den Gewaltschutz zurück. Die betroffenen Frauenrechtsorganisationen fühlen sich im Stich gelassen. Ist es Vorsatz oder Unvermögen?

@tommi @martina @sevgiiiii although the exam is in Dutch 🫣🫣

@TheBreadmonkey the fact this looks like a risk, and not like awesome, speaks to how tech could be better at this moment.

@susankayequinn @cstross I misspoke earlier when I said that “George Soros Bought Me a Handwarmer” was the name of my new band.

After careful consideration, the name of my new band is now "Clearance-Bin Dildos”.

@cstross

Not the specific claim, but there is news coverage claiming that opposition to U.S.A. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is being suppressed on #TikTok.

Standard caution about question headlines applies, of course.

But let's put it this way: the notion has reached Forbes and Cosmo, and isn't just some anonymous poster on Twitter stirring the pot.

I’m lying here in the dark, waiting for the sun to rise and thinking about the Fortingall yew.

Experts place its age at around 5,000 years old. A path leads towards it, and along the way, stones mark the events in human history that it has seen. It’s seen a lot. Too much, maybe. It looks tired.

And yet stones are not remembered this way, though they have seen more.

@david @kate yep. it will end any and all tourism - only people who have to would choose to do this.

@mastodonmigration ah Pete Hoekstra busy fearmongering as always. He was our former US ambassador in the Netherlands and he did some rabid claims like politicians were burnt here. Hoekstra also attended a gathering of far right fringe party Forum for Democracy which was seen as interference in Dutch politics due to given FVD agency because of his presence

@elettrona @super_user_do intanto firmate per far sì che se ne parli e non si dimentichino troppo presto e facilmente.

@macdevnet Ah thank you so much!! I hope you get a lot out of it!

The food in Bangalore is great in general, but as a vegetarian I cannot express how *incredible* it feels to be surrounded by great options rather than feeling like a second class citizen

@randahl she's been sold out, maybe? Poor soul. Wait, does she have one?

@urlyman me too, sad really

Q. What would you hide in a book safe?

- a smaller book safe.

@bluberrycookie @bbacc penso che sia proprio l'utilizzo fin dalla più tenera età il problema. La prima forma di esposizione a internet non sono i social media ma è youtube e, a seguire, tiktok. I bambini vengono messi davanti al tubo a guardare un video dopo l'altro, sempre più spesso slop fatto con AI senza neanche una trama. YT è pieno di video di questo genere e sempre più spesso vedo bambin* imbambolat* davanti allo schermo mentre vengono portati in giro con il passeggino anche se sono in un'età in cui, salvo disabilità, dovrebbero essere in grado di camminare. E vedo direttamente il gap tra bambin* cresciuti in questo modo, con molte meno capacità comunicative, sociali e motorie, e quell* a cui 'sto schifo è stato risparmiato. E cosa diventerà questo gap andando avanti con gli anni?

@SRAZKVT rustdoc too i think rustdoc is pretty good but it utterly fails to address the crisis of cfg(...) analysis

for all the things haskell does badly, haddock giving you, on each function documentation, a link to the code of that very function, so that you can read it, study it, and understand it, is just wonderful

i wish more documentation tooling did that

@aral @fabio La jalousie Aral. Bon courage et soutien à tous les deux.

@SRAZKVT emacs does this it is so gr8

@aartaka @zyd In general Markless' design prefers intuitive and consistent behaviour over convenient behaviour. A confusing behaviour of other languages for non-tech people in this respect is them accidentally invoking syntax when they don't mean to. Doubling the pre/suffix pairs makes that much less likely, and makes all of the inline syntax elements consistent with each other and the rest of the block prefix syntax, which is also two character based.
