"Zionism is a crime against Judaism and the indigenous people of Palestine, and we are committed to putting an end to it. Over the years, it became clear that Zionism, instead of protecting Jews, placed them in great danger by committing atrocious acts in their name. Zionism is based on racial supremacy, adopting the very racist assumptions which are inherent to antisemitism – describing Jews as belonging to some chosen race – a notion which is fundamentally racist and which has no relation to Judaism.

The Zionist settler-colonial entity denies Palestinians their most basic rights. Zionism operates through colonialism, apartheid, ethnic-cleansing and genocide in Palestine Even before 1948. Fourteen million Palestinians worldwide are its direct victims. To Israel we firmly declare “Not in Our Name!” We are devoted to terminating Zionism and we are devoted to the decolonisation of Palestine under Palestinian leadership!"

Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.

Leikkauksissa olisi jotain tolkkua, jos sillä oikeasti pyrittäisiin tasapainottamaan taloutta. Mutta siihenhän ei pyritä. Kaikki, mikä leikkauksista olisi jäämässä säästöön, työnnetään veronkevennyksiin. Tällöin ei säästöjä synny ja vähemmän yllättäen "joudutaan" leikkaamaan taas lisää "talouden tasapainottamiseksi". Kuinka typeränä ne oikein pitää ihmisiä? Vaikuttaisi siltä, että kovin isolle osalle tämmönen touhu on ok. Tai sit väki ei oikeasti hahmota, ettei nää päätökset auta "talouden vajeeseen" mitenkään, vaan syventää ja pahentaa sitä.

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.

What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.

Warped space, right before your eyes!

Nope. Ruksin asetuksista yksityisyysasetusten kohdalta kaikki julkaistut kuvat julkisiksi, sillä kierretään joku feature, että kaikki fediversen sovellukset pystyvät jakamaan kuvia keskenään. Sen jälkeen ei ole ollut ongelmia, mutta ei tee mieli jakaa kovin yksityisiä kuvia enää

Joka kolmas euro Suomen julkisista IT-hankinnoista menee Microsoftin käyttöoikeuksiin. Jenkkiboikottien hengessä: investoitaisiinko jatkossa tästä 1,2 miljardin potista vuosittain vaikka 5 % (n. 60 miljoonaa) avoimen koodin vaihtoehtoihin ja kehitystyöhön, jotta tämä toimittajariippuvuus vähenisi ja saataisiin säästöjä?

Kuka mukana?

Kerron Fedistä kun
...joku valittaa somen sensuurista
...joku etsii (eurooppalaisia) vaihtoehtoja perinteisille someille
...joku kertoo jenkkisomessa boikotoivansa jenkkituotteita
...tapaan ihmisiä livenä
...joku ihmettelee miksei eurooppalaisilla ole omaa somea
...joku valittaa somen algoritmista ja siitä ettei tavoita seuraajia
...jos joku kaipaa someltaan nimenomaan keskustelua (asiallista vieläpä)!
...törmään tyyppiin (tai ajattelen häntä), joka on yleensä ollut edelläkävijöiden joukossa somessa, mutta jota en ole vielä täällä nähnyt.
...joku valittaa että mainoksia tai mainoksiksi naamioituja linkkejä huijaussivutiille on liikaa somessa.
...tapaan kaverin, jota haluaisin seurata Fedissä.
...joku valittaa, että näkee somessa liikaa tekoälyllä tehtyjä kuvia
…joku valittaa somen vihapuheesta ja moderaation puuttumisesta
...näen, että joku yrittää puhua somesta aiheista, jotka todennäköisesti sensuroidaan
...näen, kun joku käyttää somessa kiertoilmaisuja voidakseen välittää viestiään
...joku koittaa postata jotain ja se tulkitaan sääntöjen vastaiseksi sillä se kritisoi metaa, sensuuria tai äärioikeistoa.
...joku haluaisi pitää useampia sometaukoja ilman, että se vaikuttaa näkyvyyteen.
...joku haluaisi, että hästägejä seuraamalla näkisi oikeasti uusimmat julkaisut, eikä suosituimpia
...olen tuttujen kanssa istumassa iltaa

(Jatka listaa.)

Jos kerätään joka päivä pari pistettä, niin sana leviää arvaamattoman laajalle.

@reimamak @hannamorre @nemeciii joo, lista on kattava ja sitä voisi hyödyntää vaikka blogia kirjoittaessa. :)

Boss wanted to make me "redundant" so she could give my position to her son at 2x what I'm paid. I had my cousin pretend to be a union rep & brought him to a meeting with her. She changed her mind about the redundancy & gave me a raise. Now joined a proper union seeing it works.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing only on one man.

Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed.

It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an extraordinary figure. He was a reality show grifter with a crumbling business; Hitler was an undisciplined drifter with delusions of grandeur.

It's the soil that matters, not just the rotten harvest.

I actually think by today’s meeting Trump finally destroyed any hopes in Europe to rely on American support.

Effectively US pulled out of NATO, informally. Can’t count on them to help defend Democracy, Freedom, and Rules-based International Order.

oh-kay phew. some final cleanup, and then it's time to launch the alpha of this torrent tracker designed for rapid-response data rescue where a bunch of people each scrape chunks of a big thing and then recombine it later, where nobody can store the whole thing in one place because it's too big. then early next week we'll have the system for claiming and handling in-process scrapes. then we start fucking around with the fun stuff. has there ever been a torrent tracker that speaks activitypub to distribute uploads around between instances? because this one is gonna.

special invite to any #BitTorrent heads out there who want to contribute to our uploaders guide, seeders guide, torrent creation guide, or want to help get the tracker scraping and announcing part off the ground. if you ever wondered what it would be like if there were better social overlays to bittorrent where trackers could announce around peers based on explicit social relationships, curate collections collaboratively across tracker instances... that's the kinda sicko shit we're into


Systems thinking view on current development


I quite enjoyed this article as it spells out in a more general level how future looks like based on what's currently happening "in the US". Also hint how to prepare at the end, as we can't possibly know which eventualities arrive first.

Uncomfortably fitting


A Guardian article from 2021 making rounds in bsky presents a claim by Craig Unger in American Kompromat that KGB/FSB has had influence on Trump with some anecdotal evidence. This would explain their recently expressed views well, and could help understand their motivations, possibly regardless of the truthfulness of the claim (as a "wrong but useful model").
