@jon still hoping something might run this summer (but otherwise I’ll find my way from Tornio-Itäinen to Haparanda by other means…)

@technetium @Janko @VeryBadLlama yeah, it’s rather the ‘that one war…’ type. And way too long indeed.

@foosel @quixoticgeek I’d still be worried about financial security unless this universal basic income would be guaranteed for the rest of my life (and I don’t see how it could be).

@Opticacia @danirabbit I do get the point about precise terminology. I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan, and would never refer to myself as a vegan, or ‘vegan plus’, although I do try to replace more and more foods with plant-based alternatives. It annoys me when pescatarians are referred to as vegetarians (mainly because that confuses people as to whether vegetarians eat fish), so why would I do the same thing to vegans?

@Opticacia @danirabbit OK, but who says they’re trying to benefit from any moral associations?

@Doodlelegs @mntmn a former colleague of mine printed out emails and stored them in plastic folders. Never interact with him anymore so I don’t know if he (ab)uses AI tools
now, but I bet he does…

@micahflee gave a great talk about practical defenses against #technofascism, with solid recommendations against #surveillance – especially in times when pretty much everyone becomes an at-risk user.

@tal @ei8gvb @tml @erebion but again, this is basically just an ad. Not essential information in any way. And actual announcements on these international trains are also in English.

Dat ik er niet vandaan kom
En dat ik er geen mensen ken
En dat ik er nooit naartoe zal gaan
Omdat ik niet belazerd ben

Ja, ‘t blijst van allemaal

@RonSupportsYou @renewedresistance fails to understand? Or chooses not to mention? Those are two different things.

@kupfers I keep changing em dashes used by colleagues (possibly with the ‘help’ of an LLM) into en dashes… At least we have a corporate style guide that agrees with my stance on this.
