"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

New OSM tool (to me):

It is an easy way to see where lights are already mapped, and what still needs to be covered. I do believe MapComplete has one as well.

Continuing on my journey to switch to Windows Terminal, I want my various terminals to have separate pinned icons on the taskbar so I can get to each one quickly with Windows+number. Nothing I do seems to allow me to do this. There are command line arguments to focus a specific tab in a specific window, but that doesn't help with the initial launch where you need to specify a command line. This all worked just fine with conhost and various shortcuts. 😩
in reply to Jamie Teh

I found a very ugly, not at all intuitive way to do it:
1. Create a shortcut which starts the terminal with the desired command line, specifying a unique window name with the -w option; e.g.:
wt -w wsl wsl.exe ~
2. Create another shortcut which focuses the first tab in the same window name; e.g.:
wt -w wsl ft -t 0
3. Pin the second shortcut to the taskbar, but not the first. You can then delete the second shortcut from wherever you created it if you like.
4. When you want to launch it, you'll have to use the first shortcut. However, once launched, you can use the pinned taskbar shortcut to switch to it.
in reply to Jamie Teh

It took me a while just to figure out how to create a simple shortcut to open a specific Windows Terminal - mainly so that I could open a WSL Terminal at a specific folder without navigating to it.

I tested pinning one of those just now, but as you note, my shortcut doesn't manage new vs multiple tab instances.

Windows Terminal keeps improving and sometimes surprises me as I continue to learn more neat things about it, but it definitely still has some awkward quirks!

"In his new book, Supercommunicators, the journalist Charles Duhigg writes that one of the most common sources of conflicts in relationships is when partners don’t agree on the type of conversation they’re having. Some conversations are practical: Let’s solve a problem together. Others are emotional: Let’s talk about and understand our feelings. Many fights mistake practical for emotional conversations, and vice versa."

I have emphasized numerous times in the past why you should not use #HCaptcha, especially in situations where equal access is vital. Their practices are not inclusive, locking out users who have no other way to access whatever the captcha protects. This blog post illustrates one of the scenarios: michaels.world/2023/11/i-was-b…

It costs nothing to be kind. Being mean is also free, but people are likelier to want to hurt you.
in reply to The Amazing Panini

Being kind and compassionate requires a lot of effort in a society which emphasizes the self, be it personal gain, fame, or physical appearance. The mindset is very important, which is why selfhelp books work for many people.


Welcome to a Rogers/Shaw internet outage.
USB tethering on two Android phones is not working reliably with my router, and only one of the two works on Windows, so I'm serving up 5G from two separate phones until cable comes back.
This is probably because of bad weather, so the extra reminder to charge my stuff also doesn't hurt.


One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.

The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.

#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.

When the Malay #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.

The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.

Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

No exactamente.

En empresas que tengan en la misma provincia o en municipios limítrofes dos o más centros de trabajo cuyos censos no alcancen los 50 trabajadores, pero en su conjunto lo sumen, se constituirá un comité de empresa conjunto. Cuando unos centros tengan 50 trabajadores y otros de la misma provincia no, en los primeros se constituirán comités de empresa propios y con todos los segundos se constituirá otro.

I find it hilarious that the only-renewables crowd are now actually trying to coopt the phrase "too cheap to meter" (which, for the record, was never a slogan in the nuclear sector, it was just said once by a guy somewhere), at a time when we're increasingly done with the 'easy phase' of installing solar and wind installations.

At less than 10% of total energy use in the West, solar and wind already cause price hikes and, consequently, deindustrialisation in countries like Germany. The 'hard part' is just beginning, and if we insist on only trying to do that with solar and wind alone, it'll cost at least an order of magnitude more than it already has.

We'll reevaluate this cooptation in a few years, but let me say that the 'cost argument' is a very silly line of defense to take.

It's nigh time we face the facts for once: fossil fuels are dirt cheap and using economics alone means we'll be using them in perpetuity. The other side of that coin is that a decarbonised energy system *will* be more expensive. How we deal with that cost will be a social question that we'll need to solve.

Pretending that this isn't true and solar and wind are the best thing since sliced bread, is driving people paying the energy bills to the right, towards climate denialism, towards the fossil lobby. Saw the meme of people voting Trump to save 10 cents on their eggs? Yeah, look in a mirror who is driving that.

Be careful what you wish for, "too cheap to meter" will bite you in the ass.

Interesting issue. To what extent are price hikes a direct consequence of the energy mix rather than the specific marginalist design of EU electricity market though? Genuine question, I don't know the answer to this, but I would think there's some increase that's necessary and some that's not.


Mastodon, if you have to do starter packs, *please think about consent* for people being added to starter packs. The bluesky starter packs may be great for new accounts trying to find their people, but it has not necessarily been fun for people who've been added to starter packs without their knowledge. I feel like a couple thousand people looking for a coffee shop have suddenly turned up in my living room.

This is the leader of the Israeli opposition. The person who should be debunking the justifications for never-ending war and re-humanize Palestinians.

Instead, he parrots Netanyahu and shows that the entire Israeli establishment is complicit.

We need an arms embargo now.
