You mean to listen to it twice right?

It HAS been a long time since I listened to it.

It’s not just the boomers tho, a lot of people are so selfish lately.

For the past 10 years there has been a large field across from where I work. Not a nice bit of nature, just a crappy looking bit of lumpy grass a mowed a couple of times a year. About 5 years ago an investor bought the land and wanted to develop it.

They hired an architect that designed a stunning looking building, super modern, fully environmentally neutral in construction and in the future, with excellent insulation, heat pumps using the ground and solar on top. It looked beautiful as well, with a very interesting design and a lot of green. Part of the roof was to be a garden, not for people but just for plants. Plants had places to grow all over the building, which was designed to easily maintain the plants not to overgrow the building and not damage it. The intent was for commercial use of the building.

So the investors took their plans to the local council and they were super happy. It cleaned an unused bit of land, they would get income from the use of the building and attracting businesses is always a good thing. So they gave the permit and said go right ahead.

However as soon as the permit was published the local community went nuts. They organized and didn’t want the developer to spoil their bit of land. They complained about all sorts of things, almost everything highly exaggerated or complete nonsense. Anyone that actually looked at the plans the architect made could see they really took a lot of things into account. But the local community organized, got everyone riled up, held protests, blanketed the area with flyers etc. This community is pretty mixed in terms of ages and such.

So the council pulled the permit and told the developer they couldn’t do it. This led to the developer sueing the council and that’s still in court, the developer invested millions to get to that point with support of the council. With the local community the way it is, the project isn’t going to happen, so it will probably cost the council and thus the community a lot of money.

So with that canceled a new developer came around and said they wanted to use the plot to build housing. There is a huge shortage of housing in the area, so they got an immediate go. As predicted the community went apeshit again, not in my backyard and all that. The council was not amused and shut that shit down right away. Refusing housing isn’t a thing they are willing to do, nor should they. Unless someone has a valid claim, like it being unsafe or having too big environmental impact or something, it’s going to happen. The local community don’t have shit and the developer did things like environmental impact studies, checked for archeology etc. The faces of the ringleaders was priceless when the council shut them down. This whole not in my backyard bullshit needs to stop and I’m happy the council did the right thing.

Construction started beginning of this year, so that shitty piece of grass is finally going to be useful. Other then for people’s dogs to poop on that is.

It was Book 2 of the Extinction series called Extinction Countdown by James D Prescott. The whole series was available for 1 credit so I thought I gave it a try.

Book 1 was very cliche and over the top, but enjoyable enough. Kinda dumb and predictable but good enough. Pretty short as well, so for a credit per book it would have been too expensive. However Book 2 doubled down on all the bad parts of Book 1 and turned the cringe to 11.

It said: “If even 10% of the predictions made by Elon Musk on Ai are true…” I rolled my eyes so hard I think I hurt myself. Then three sentences later they went on about Kanye West’s new fashion line. So I turned it off for then, thought about it today and refunded. The author probably meant well, but oof.

I was listening to an audio book the other day and it mentioned Elon Musk and Kanye West unironically within three sentences of each other. The book was written in 2018, but still pretty cringe. I refunded today, the book was already pretty ick to begin with and those two put it over the top.

I assume the 2700 is SRP? Don’t use SRP ever, it’s total nonsense. It has in fact become such nonsense use of SRP in marketing/sales is actually illegal in the EU. Instead of it being an actual price point manufacturers intended for the product to be sold at, it’s always always a factor of that. So shops could advertise with a 50% discount on SRP, to get at what is just the regular price and not even a good one at that. That was considered so misleading, SRP use is banned. Instead the marketing can only be based on actual lowest prices the product was for sale at.

To add to this good info: In the post is a screenshot showing the SPF/DKIM/DMARC info on the mail, it all checks out. So even if you are tech savvy and actually check these things, in this case they got it licked.

This is what elevates this attack from every day regular attack to holy shit I could have fallen for that.

So they go out of their way to broadcast their personal radio calls and stick a microphone under their noses before they’ve gotten good and well out of the car. Then they get their panties in a bunch when one of them uses a swear word? Right…

They should have made it opt-in instead of opt-out IMHO. You can still get the old subscription when you renew, but you have to jump through a couple of hoops. If you do nothing you just get “upgraded” for no reason.

Reverse parked it 2cm too far to the left causing a corner protector to scrape along the side with a very loud screech. Everyone looked because of the noise and I still feel bad to this day. To be fair the corner protector did the job, so in the end not a problem.

I have had people who I know from other platforms come across me on Lemmy. Just got a DM the other day saying “Found you”, we had a good laugh about it since we didn’t know we both used Lemmy. However IRL I don’t think anyone I know is nerd enough to be on Lemmy.

I have had to teach a subject in school. Part of my education was a minor where I had to teach a class for a trimester.

I had to prepare materials (presentations, homework assignments, study material, quizzes and the exam), teach the class, answer student questions in person/mail/school system etc. There was a professor that helped me, was always present and officially taught the class otherwise the students grade wouldn’t count. But as it was my assignment the prof was very hands off and was there only as a fallback if I fucked up and to evaluate my performance. We got along pretty well and she gave me an excellent grade in the end.

The class I taught was uni level cryptography, basically a math class. The math would get pretty advanced and a lot of the problems students had to solve required a long working out. There usually wasn’t an answer to the problems, the working out was the answer. The exam was also pretty though, but almost all of the students got a good grade and nobody failed.

Feedback from students was that I was pretty strict, but they learned quickly and had a good time during the class. Remember these were 2nd year uni students, so discipline wasn’t an issue, everyone was there to learn and wanted to be there. Most of them were maths nerds themselves and loved the subject, which helps a lot. Ages of the students ranged 18-25. So my teaching was focused on the subject matter and not managing kids.

Would I teach again? I don’t think so. It was a good experience to have, but I can see it get boring very quickly. Imagine teaching the same class trimester after trimester, year after year. Sure some new stuff comes along every now and then, but even in the more advanced classes you teach the basics, not the new stuff. As I enjoy the subject more than the interaction with the students, I don’t think I could do it for long.

Obviously, there is True, False and FILE_NOT_FOUND

What is this? Some kind of crossover episode?

Enshittified used to have a very specific meaning in the lifecycle of a product/service. These days it just means “getting worse”. And yes, everything is getting worse all the time.
