While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:

  • the crown witness' innocent brother,
  • the crown witness' lawyer, Derk Wiersum,
  • investigative journalist, Dutch celebrity and confidant of the crown witness, Peter R. de Vries.

This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It's what drug trafficking brings.

The one that blew my mind is that plate tectonics is only a widely accepted theory since the 70s.

I was big into downloading before streaming services were a thing. Music streaming is one of the few services that's totally worth my money: no hassle and I rarely have to resort to other platforms to find what I want (very different from video streaming, which totally sucks when it comes to that).

Illegal pushbacks are funded by the EU. EU countries look away or even condone them, as they don't want immigrants either.

Reddit used to have this functionality too (RES would expose it in the UI). Later they removed it and only showed if a comment was controversial. Very refreshing indeed to see the up and down votes again!

Thanks for the hard work. I've cancelled my Patreon and switched to Liberapay.

Have you seen how meta does business?! Talk about a straight up evil corporation.

They don't know how to play nice. They have no interest in playing nice. They're out to make as much money, whatever it takes. They either buy their competitors or try to kill them. The fediverse is not for sale and we need to keep a healthy distance so they don't get a chance to kill us.

Do not federate with meta.

This is top notch cycling infra, even for the Netherlands. You rarely see them this wide.

Fish and rainwater, apparently.

I work in IT and we have truly self steering teams without formal hierarchy. Not everyone is used to it and IT people can be interesting characters, so it's quite a process to get the team to perform well.

To shreds, you say?

How do you differentiate between a small instance where 10 votes would already be suspicious vs a large instance such as lemmy.world, where 10 would be normal?

I don't think instances publish how many users they have and it's not reliable anyway, since you can easily fudge those numbers.
