Don't get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn't mean, anybody is actually going to build it.

They are contributing to Google's hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.

I picked gtk for the mockups because it's supported by penpot. If you want to use kirigami over libadwaita then I'm not going to stop you.

I'm just happy somebody took me up on all of this (and so quickly at that)

Thank you

You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo

Sxmo utilises your phone's volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I'm aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.

No the episode is definitely a commentary on racism. The inhabitants of Finetime are not just gen z, they are explicitly upper class gen z. They have literally blue blood. They are very Tory-coded.

The whole episode is riddled with micro aggressions from Lindy towards the doctor. Here is a possibly incomplete list of them:

  • declining the Doctors call in the cold open. but taking Ruby's later on
  • suspecting the Doctor is responsible for the situation
  • being disgusted by Ruby and the Doctor being in the same room
  • not noticing the Doctor and the person calling her in the morning where one and the same, saying she just thought they "looked the same"
  • Introducing the Doctor to her friends with the words "he is not as stupid as he looks" and suggesting he would be punished later on

There is also the mention of a cleanse, which takes on a very different meaning after the twist especially since not just the majority of the Finetime characters but all of them are white.

The whole episode is designed to make you question your own perceptiveness of racism. After the twist you are supposed to go "how could I have been so blind?". I recommend a rewatch. And no, I didn't pick up on it at first. I did notice some of them as weird, but noticed what all of them have in common only at the end.

I like the term "extermination" which the ICC's chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Bibi.

Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn't make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn't help all the dead or starving civilians.

That's why I like the term extermination. It's precise but doesn't require intent. It doesn't imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don't think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).

And it does all that without being a euphemism.

Edit: a previous version of this contained a Freudian slip where I confused the names of Biden and Netanjau.

The EU needs more high-speed trains.

There is an EU petition going around to get the European Commission to put in place a legally binding act to establish a European high-speed train network, connecting EU capitals, as quickly as possible.

The link to the petition, as well as the site with more information, are in the pinned post.

These official EU petitions are actually meaningful, and are not your typical online petition, as they require confirmation of identity (e.g., through DigID). It is only open to residents of the EU.

Please consider signing it if you are a resident of the EU.

Obviously this initiative would only be part of the solution. What we really need are more regional trains throughout Europe, and better public transit for everyone.

Nevertheless, a trunk of high-speed train routes between capitals would go a long way towards building a viable alternative to flying and driving within Europe. Just as the Shinkansen (literally "new trunk line") do in Japan.

My point here is: don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Please sign and share the petition, and let's get the EU committed to trains.

Petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/screen/home

I have set up a wiki on github pages and will copy the content from the old wiki over in the coming days. Currently I've only moved the faq page and even that is missing a lot of stuff (like most hyperlinks).

If you want to help feel free to jump in. The repo is on https://github.com/lemmygermany/wiki

PS: mods, if you give me your github user name I'll add you as site admins for the wiki

UPDATE: I think, I've transferred everything. There is still work to do. Most internal links are still broken, because they expect the structure on the backend to be the same and it's not. But that is something that can be changed in time. All the content should be there and that's the most important.

I've also fixed a typo in the domain name.
