@Steve In Poland we don't say “shoddy workmanship”, we say “Panie, kto panu to tak spierdolił⸮” And I think it's beautiful.
The horse is old and sick, but the owners didn't sell it for dog food – they make sure it gets proper medical care. That's why the owner was arrested for a few hours – because the pharmacist is a rabid pro-lifer. https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/03/20/polish-police-detain-man-who-tried-to-buy-horse-medicine-that-can-induce-abortions/
Police detained a man after he came to a pharmacy to buy medicine prescribed by a vet for his sick horse, but which could also in theory also be used to induce miscarriages in violation of Poland's strict abortion laws.
Protip: if you're going to make significant changes in how your language dialect works contra the expectations of the past half century of computing, perhaps it might behoove you to contemplate chesterton's fence and work out -why- the weird shit that looks wrong is in place.
Looking directly at the android image editor folks here.
@pluralistic My ISP added this to the headers in your latest newsletter, and changed the title to SPAM:
Mam nowe gulity pleasure - czytanie o inbach wokół rysowniczki Aleksandy Herzyk.
W dużym skrócie jest to rysowniczka komisków i autorka o lewicowych poglądach, która często wchodzi w różne ciekawe interakcje np. na ptakoportalu ![]()
Jakiś czas temu miała imbe na swoim profilu gdzie prawicowcy próbowali jej wmówić że nigdy nie będzie kobietą, Herzyk jest CIS kobietą. Jako dowód podawali różne argumenty, głównie kształt twarzy, w którym dopatrywali się "męskich rys" XD
Dziś na fb opisała o odpowiedzi pewnej terfki na jej artykuł o jej wrazenaich z czytania Harrego Pottera po latach i problemach serii o czarodzieju.
W skrócie terfka oskarża ją o obsesję na temat Rowling i wyciąga bazooke mówiąc że Herzyk wymyśliła sobie ze jest aseksualna i jest w spektrum autyzmu... na podstawie artykułu z noizz XD
Polecam obserwować Aleksandrę Herzyk na FB i ptakoportalu bo nie wiem czy jest tutaj, oraz kupować jej komiksy i książki
Spring has sprung and we have officially left Autumn behind us. All the tell tale signs are there - lambs race in the fields, daffodils fill the banks with pops of sunshine yellow, the lanes are heady with the smell of wild garlic and the late night drive back from child 2’s Guides night is a zig zag of driving trying to avoid squashing migrating toads.
Mabel has embraced the spring spirit, but can you ‘Spot The Dog’ in today’s medley?
Here's an interesting thing I just noticed: the German Federal Data Commissioner BfDI has, as a result of data protection concerns:
1. Deleted its Twitter Account, directing people to its Mastodon page @bfdi
2. Required the German Federal Government to close its own Facebook page
It seems to be a shift beyond just criticising/fining the big tech companies, towards requiring organisations to stop using them out of a duty of care to their followers.
One by one, the old guard from my previous life is slipping away. Today's #MonDog pic goes out in memory of Punch, a 2012 #ServiceDog graduate who left us just a few hours ago. He was a great treasure whose departure leaves a huge hole in many hearts. 😢 For those who note the photos of my own dogs now, Punch was half brother to RB, "His Ancientness."
