How do shops end up with such anti-discounts for volume orders? I don't expect this is intended, so why isn't a sanity check against such cases a common thing?

John le Carré passed away:

You might have seen the movie "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", but I implore you to watch the old BBC miniseries under the same title, with Sri Alec Guinness as George Smiley. It's on YT:

Along with the sequel, "Smiley's People":

And finally, "NIght Manager":

All based on John le Carré's books.

Fixed a bug in Scary #COVID Data thingy:
rys.io/covid/

Rolling average used to be calculated with the selected day being "centered" in the averaged period, leading to weird results for last few days.

Now it is calculated with the selected day at the end of the averaged period, meaning first few days are weird, but everything else makes sense.

Also: bumped maximum rolling average period to 31 days, enabled even-day average periods, and updated population data:

@kravietz That's kinda the problem with alternative platforms. Retards go there first, fill it up and the average person ends up avoiding it.

re: politics 

@velartrill
Technically, to the *smart* parts of the alt-right. Which is reasonable when judging the ideology, of course, but the composition of its followers is a different thing. And what the followers say will often be a version of the beliefs of the ideology that is simplified and twisted by the usual self-serving biases. This process happens for all political ideologies afaict, and it shouldn't be surprizing that in the case of the alt-right it often leads to white supremacy.

I know of a person called Anna Kula, who claimed this was her primary motivator for getting a doctorate.

#postmarketOS input idea:
get one of those dime-a-dozen USB numeric keyboards and an OTG cable, secure them on the back of the phone, configure i3wm for numpad-only use and/or write a chording layer to emulare a full(-er) keyboard.
bam, complete device access without having get Bluetooth or mainline kernel working or Wayland working.

political art, depiction of a vulva 

Amazing piece made by Fatygi (my friend's roommate). The description is in Polish, it was provided by the author and I don't feel worthy translating it.

Some time ago I linked to the resolution project of the Icelandic parliament, to give women from the EEA who do not have access to legal abortions in their home countries (effectively, #Malta and #Poland) access to abortion in Iceland.

Well, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Czechia now have similar projects in their parliaments:

In Sweden it's proposed by a government minister:

@rok0 @flapflap Being unable to drive in North America is basically considered an infantile disorder. You're expected to upkeep and pay several thousand dollars a year for a car. City planning is abysmal because it assumes everybody has their own car. Cars themselves are not efficient vehicles for the road and take up far too much unused space. They are used as a band-aid over bad infrastructure.

I think its fair to dislike something very normalized but badly designed, especially when other more efficient methods fill almost all of its uses.

@freemo
I think @mewmew's point is that interfering with the elections by disrupting social media and financing violations, and actually interfering in the vote counting process are so different, that comparing them is unreasonable. In particular, the former is massively easier to do, and thus more likely a priori. These are also related to very different parts of the election process — the former requires a lack of trust in the honesty of the Trump campaign, and the latter a lack of trust in the integrity of the voting and vote counting process.

Besides it's strange to criticise Dems in this case, since it turned out they were right. If it later turns out that they were also wheeling in Biden votes to counting centers, then the comparisons still won't be equivalent — although in this case because interfering with the counting directly is much worse. So far this seems extremely unlikely.

@freemo That's what I thought, but every time I look into especially terrible quotes they end up even worse in context. The only *exception* I remember was the "drinking bleach" debacle, where it was actually "injecting disinfectant as a medical trial", which makes him an absolute idiot (not evil) in this instance.

@freemo Ugh, sorry I gotta go, thanks for the discussion and if you want more specific pointers to the report let me know, I can provide them tomorrow.
