  • “We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage,” Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, acting Unit Lead for Noncommunicable Disease Management and Regional Advisor for Alcohol and Illicit Drugs in the WHO Regional Office for Europe explained.

    I feel like we don’t hear this enough. Smoking is being targeted by policies a lot more than drinking, while drinking comes with a heavy burden on society too (alcoholism, violence etc.).





  • It’s a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don’t remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a “regular” company, but only if you’re ready for that and able to do it. It’s government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it’s a very exciting opportunity for me. I’ve already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.



    • I started using Lemmy
    • Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it’s actually fun.
    • Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
    • Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
    • I’ve applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven’t started yet, but I will soon. I’m so excited for that.

    Ugh… Went to an outdoor swimming pool this spring for the first time in years. Decided to dry up in the sun instead of toweling off. Laid down in the grass for 10, maybe 15 minutes, got slowly covered in ants. The next day I discovered I had a tick. Took me a while to go swimming again…





  • This is so much better! Tooltips now disappear when the mouse moves, as they should. The only place where it doesn’t happen yet is in the application launcher, where they remain when I click a program, but the tooltips don’t leave the launcher and since it disappears when you click a program, they don’t cover any other windows. I tried all kinds of things to get the tooltips to cover the active window like before, but they won’t stick when I move the mouse anymore. Thanks so much! 😌
