Ik keek gister de Johnny Harris docu over de bananenindustrie, en hoorde plots een bekend deuntje:

There's probably a #pun I can make with it, but I'm too lazy.

A good friend of mine will move to #Nijmegen for studying and right now she's desperatly looking for a room, flat or maybe even a campsite. Her demands are "real low" because she knows about the housing crisis there (kind of capitalist shit, isn't it?).
Some facts about her: very smart and cool feminist rebelgrrrl*, makes art and sports and really good pizza. At the moment she works social in supporting refugees. She was very happy about the chance to make her M.A. at university in Nijmegen and is still excited. I gonna miss her so much 🥺💕
But back to topic. I told her, that there are some people from the netherlands in here and maybe somenone has an idea?
PS: Of course she allready searched at universitys residence halls and communal residences, but this isn't easy 600km+ away and with that housing crisis and not so much money..
Also, clearly, I am a disappointment to my mother because she has taken up bird photography as a retirement hobby and comes up with stuff like this all the time
There are these characters. You enjoy them, but only need every so often. For me, it's the § (silcrow/section sign).
It's not printed on my key caps, but... I *know* it's up there, somewhere! Hiding behind a number key, in need of an alt and/or shift. And so, inevitably, I just go and riffle

It's hard to to overstate how much Steve Jobs brought showmanship to his demos, especially when you see someone putting together a Max IIcx on-stage.
All of the thrills of "is my laptop finding the projector?"
Also we are considering accepting donations to cover for the hosting costs. Partly because we expect to have to spend a little more in de future. I was thinking about using Open Collective for this purpose. Who has experiences to share on this front? #mastodon #hosting #donations
Work is on its way to make sure mastodon.nl fills all the requirements to get listed on joinmastodon.org. Hopefully somewhere September it will be done and it will actually be listed as one of the Dutch instances. #mastodon #mastodonnl
Saying "they shouldn't have invested more than they could afford to lose" about people who've just lost everything only excuses those who continue the narrative that crypto is a solution for people who don't HAVE money they can afford to lose.

It was clear. Mt. Biei across the crater was also beautiful.
After descending quite a bit, I looked back and saw the moon.
Complex numbers are all fun and games until someone loses an i. That's when things get real.
