Flikken Maastricht. Not because it’s so good but we always try to match the drum beats in the intro

Go read The Freeze Frame Revolution!

A cop once asked me to shake my backpack to make sure there were no graffiti cans in there. Obviously there weren’t.

Now I’m involved a bit in activism get searched on the regular. It’s mostly procedural, I have the privilege of being not really considered a criminal.

iPhone SE2:

1. Use until it turns off due to empty battery
2. Put on charger, wait for it to boot.
3. Unlock at the earliest opportunity.

Problem: after unlocking, the background disappears (goes black).

Only the home screen though, the lock screen wallpaper works. ‘Fix’ is to change the wallpaper.

No it isn’t, just checked my copy to be sure. I played it on my regular 3DS XL.

What a beast of a trailer. There seems to be so much in this game - deliveries, mecha-like stuff, really excited!

Don’t tell them about baby powder!

I did get the M30. It's delightful but there's one problem - it looks like The Lion King is one of the few games the Retro Receiver has a problem with. Any button presses while holding a direction on the D-pad interrupt the direction on the D-pad. So a roll becomes a crouch and a running jump becomes a standing jump. I've reached out to support, hopefully they can help, otherwise I'll have to return it.

I ended up applying something called Liquiwire, which seems to work well so far! I can finally play The Lion King properly again ^_.

That looks interesting and worth trying. I'll have a look to see if I can find anything like that locally

Is buying a used controller out of the question?

The backup plan is to do either that or get an 8bitdo M30 with a retro receiver!

It’s how non-Latin Unicode domain names are encoded, in this case one made out of Japanese characters. I suppose it depends on the browser whether or not it shows them.

“Nationalists of all nations: unite!”

The A12 protest is very willing to coordinate emergency routes, in any case they allow for emergency service passage (this regularly happens), and their location is easily routed around. Overall their impact is less than run of the mill roadworks and not comparable in the slightest to a major event.

I hope they don't organise marathons or street fairs where you're at, or worse, resurface a road.

It was surreal to read about talk of extremism, social disruption and the calls for corporal punishment (by police), long jail sentences and more, all for a 5-10 minute delay caused by the A12 blockade, when the day after I was helping out at the Egmond Half Marathon there was real disruption, where people really couldn't go places with their cars... not to mention events like the Dam tot Damloop or Amsterdam Marathon that effectively put parts of our capital city on lockdown. No calls for water cannons there.

People might say "Those are not the same!" and that's true - sport events are not a constitutional right.

To balance it out, they should have 1 Israeli patient for every 39 Gazan patients.

The sad irony of that site asking me to accept tracking by them and their 214 partners.

I used the last of my leave days for the work mandated time off between Christmas and New Years Day. We have plenty, but I used so much for holiday and activism. So I haven't taken the customary full two weeks off and will be back at the office on 2 Jan. Don't mind it, I like the quiet office.

But we make up for that with griekse y, korte ei and lange ij! All pronounced [ɛi], similar to 'eye'.
