Portuguese shoes for farmers. Sold on the local market, cheap, solid - or overpriced and rebranded in stores all over Europe. You get them in several levels of fancy, starts at 25€ a pair.

To eat. I was just thinking that I’m very lucky to have friends who cook and bake for often. Typing this with a mouth full of Beerenkuchen.

I was half convinced lefties online are gradually being made to suffer a shittier online experience by big tech. This kinda confirms it.

Finally someone else says it. I’ve come to think the same in recent years. Keeping us isolated (and also diagnose us with or encourage self- diagnosis of mental illness) is all too convenient for those in power to keep us small.

Question is do we need more code, or better code?

In Germany in the 50s we had the word “Halbstarker” (literal translation “semi-strong guy”) for young men who were perceived as scary by their grown up peers, much nicer than “chav”. Let’s bring that back instead.

I’ve stopped buying at Amazon a good while ago, I find most of what I need in smaller European web stores, I’ll buy computer, household, garden and farm stuff mostly. Also, small local shops around here will order stuff they don’t have in stock.

You can’t replace a translator with AI. It has to be AI + a human to fix the crappy AI output. Guess what ends up being cheaper? I didn’t change careers, and they’re hiring translators again. Bubble is bursting.

Lots of love, much nom nom. My cat insists it’s a love language. I’ve drawn the line at drawing blood. A normal, healthy relationship with a pet.

Khaleesi!

Perfectly safe, trust me. As long as you don’t use a voodoo doll of yourself.

Mind blown. Are those … seeds? Sprouting? Out of my head???

I thought this was all about fun and bolognese. Little did I know.

It’s also called “Rauhnächte” - the Wild Hunt is out and about, and the veil to the spirit world is very light. That might explain the feeling confused and urge to drink.

This looks like fun, can I find it online? Looks like quite the trip.

‘Biting is my love language, deal with it!’

It’s not about the age verification. Read the second option.

Good documentation makes me happy, bad documentation makes me run away. I suspect I’m not the only person who not only reads the fucking manual but thinks writing good technical documentation is an art of its own. Good luck with trying to replace proper documentation with profuse gibberish.

Who’s in this pic and doesn’t like it? Not me, of course, because I don’t work for an evil company directly, I just help their operations through a middle man. So I work for several evil companies, but only a tiny little bit for each, which in the grand scheme of evil is nearly nothing!

Touch grass is what we need to do. I do as much as I can in my surroundings - raised beds, gardening, and sharing stuff with people. I work as much as I can in my local community. That’s how we beat this shit and keep our souls alive.
