@LiaSae I thought you were talking about Belgium there for a second!

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae Canada even does left turns on red in some cases 😬

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae Nice timing with Flanders electing their most right-wing parliament yet today!

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae Congrats!

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@JonOlick Your bridge keeper didn't give me much room to do anything *but* find the grail 😅

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae On a side note, non-profits are hard to find good software for. There's very little budget, and free/foss means either bad UX, or extensive data-gathering which activists will want to avoid.

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae And for one-time sharing, something like https://t.co/RTJTV9Yga1 might be good enough!

@LiaSae If all or most users are iPhone users, thigh might work too https://t.co/xGihqmEGWk

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@FreyaHolmer Showing the window near the caret is turning out to be very hard to do. If you just so happen to know someone with deep Win32 experience or IME development experience, I could use some help 😅

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@FreyaHolmer Remember this tweet?

I made something for you! First release of BetterCharMap is on GitHub. There's still some work to make it good, but at least it's functional now!

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

is there a windows plugin that's basically the Windows+period shortcut, but it lets you search for any unicode character by text?

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@FreyaHolmer I'll keep you up to date! And please do let me know if you encounter bugs

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

Building from source if also possible of course, in case you don't trust random exe's

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@FreyaHolmer I might just try to make something like this! Will report back with results

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae Are Swedes secretly Belgian??? How about, "not daring to tell the waiter they did something wrong, but then complaining to their table for the rest of the evening?"

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae And it runs counter to so much of the advice and discourse that we are inundated with. I sincerely hope that this theory turns out to be correct, and we can stop making this a personal responsibility issue

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae The problem, they argue. Is that something is disrupting our lipostats. They have theories but no solid proof.

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae There's also this series of articles (sourced, not peer reviewed), that argues for a "lipostat", i.e. something thermostat-like for body fat. It appears to have profound subconscious impacts on our behavior, correcting for diet and exercise.

@LiaSae Found some videos myself, yeah that's pretty bad. Flashbacks to 2021 in the Belgian Ardennes. I hope Paris is better able to handle the rain than we were!

[Simon Verbeke @Saticmotion]

@LiaSae Oof, that's a lot of lightning
