@BrodieOnLinux The docs always capitalise it, though, so I settled on that.

I still don't know how to stylise "libadwaita".

Tens of thousands of people protesting in The Hague against the Dutch government's support for Israel. Even most of the right-wing is turning against Israel now.

Proud of each of you in The Hague. These are the Dutch I know. 🇳🇱

Is this normal for hiring in Silicon Valley? What kind of asinine, borderline abusive bullshit is this? Write an email client as part of the hiring process?

What in the actual fuck?

3000 hours in EU4 and now EU5 is coming.

I'm so hyped. Look at all the spreadheety screenshots!

All silliness aside, the name Leo XIV is interesting. Leo XIII was basically a democratic socialist, and a hugely important and influential pope, to this day. He made it so the Church stood for worker's rights, the rights of unions, and so on. Fair wage, good living conditions, etc.

What a name choice. Basically a slap in the face of the US where he's from.

There's a special bond between Canada and The Netherlands, because we will never forget how they liberated us from the German nazis. When I think of Canada, I think of gratitude, respect, and solidarity, and Canadians are forever my brothers and sisters for the sacrifices they made to free us from the purest of evils.

And to any German AfD voter: we will do it again. Set one unauthorized foot on Dutch soil, and you'll have started your demise.

Exactly 80 years ago today, Hitler blew his own brains out and died, in what can only be considered the single best use of a bullet in human history.

Why is this not a recognised, official holiday?

Controversial take: not every weird thing you do is a sign of some sort of mental condition or whatever.

I had to fucking write this. Motherfucker.

@Strandjunker And since we're at it - the reason the nazis were so efficient at eradicating the Dutch Jewish community during the occupation of 40-45, is because The Netherlands had an incredibly efficient and detailed population register. The nazis immediately sought access to these registers after the invasion, and they received little to no pushback from Dutch officials.

...just in case someone reading this is not worried about Musk accessing demographic records.

The joys of using Fedora KDE: my operating system will never be trying to shove "AI" down my throat at every turn like proprietary trash operating systems like macOS and Windows.

I compute in bliss.

I don't think the EU should be negotiating with the Trump regime re:tariffs. You don't negotiate with terrorists.

Whelp. Bye Servo.

Am I alone in always hitting a little above the spacebar on my Android keyboard? Thus hitting especially b and n when I want to type a space?

It's infuriating,

Throwback to when @gruber was making fun of the EU for getting Apple Intelligence later than everyone else.

😂

Do not travel to the US. Under any circumstance. Think you're safe because your paperwork is in order? Fuck you, it does not matter.

I guess Analogue needs to wait for some open source N64 emulation developer to steal code from. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Controversial take: I don't give a fuck that "GIMP" has a sexual connotation as a name. What are we, the American Puritanical Police?
