Fellow white Pagans,
‘Cultural appropriation’ is not a bad word. It’s not an insult. As a white-guy Wiccan in the early aughts, I have been accused of it myself, so I know how it feels. It feels like an attack, and the immediate human response is usually, “Don't tell me what to do!”
But a huge part of spirituality is growing as a person, and religious practice changes as we change and grow. We leave behind things that don't work and tweak the new to fit us. If your practice hasn't changed one bit in 20 years, you're doing it wrong.
Neopaganism is still brand new, and there will be growing pains. We are still creating it as we speak. So it is vital that we listen. Listen to marginalized groups, listen to other living traditions, listen to the people whose cultures are being twisted.
We can be better than the old white men of history, we can be better than colonizers, we don't need to copy what other traditions are doing, we’re making our own.
Is there anything more awkward than German and Americans emailing each other?:

Dear Robert (if I may),
graciously would you allow me to attend your meeting?
Yours in most sincerity,

Hey Hans!

Убрать теорию Дарвина из школьных учебников предложил помощник председателя правительства РФ Муслим Хучиев. Он утверждает, что она противоречит религиозному воспитанию и способствует духовному разложению детей. Хучиев адресовал это предложение министру просвещения, заявив, что все религии отвергли теорию эволюции и что её не следует преподавать детям.
Скажите как? Как эти идиоты попадают во власть? Почему не видно высказываний ни одного умного человека из думы?
Мне только непонятно, по какому критерию выбирают в депутаты? Неужели по критерию - "чем тупее будет моя предвыборная кампания, тем гарантированнее я попаду в правительство"?
И кто же их выбирает? Я точно за них не голосовал.
Today, our job is simple - to inspire to to try a Thunderbird Add-on to boost your productivity! If you don't know where to get started, our community (including here on Mastodon!) gave us some great ideas. 💡
Alright, here's an idea: push gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland… forward, and integrate github.com/Ximi1970/systray-x into your codebase so that wae can have a proper TB tray implementation on Linux for both Wayland and X11.
That'd be a nice productivity win for me!
I'm plastered now, and not in the way i want to be.
Is your company using a quantum-safe email provider in 2024?
Not yet? Upgrade now! 🔐
Here’s how Tuta Mail can help your business 👉 tuta.com/blog/how-companies-be…
As a reminder, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted e-mails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipient's public key. This issue has been brought up to the Tuta team 6 years ago...
github.com/tutao/tutanota/issu…
So, maybe less "we're the most secure e-mail provider in the world" and more concrete security 🙃
Not that your average Joe has 200k floating about, but still.
Ich hab da mal ne Frage, z.B. an #Dresden #Follower oder solche an Flüssen wie #Elbe, #Rhein oder #Donau.
Wie werden Schiffe, wie z.B. die #Elbdampfer bei #Hochwasser gesichert?
Ist das nicht ne große Kraft, die auf die Landungsbrücken wirkt? Oder sind die so gebaut, dass sich Hochwasser nicht wesentlich auswirkt?
Ist in der Zeit eine Mannschaft an Bord um die Situation zu beobachten und notfalls ablegen zu können?

Getting chased by a stupid AI company for a (claimed) royalty free image on my blog that I obtained from pixabay.
I replaced it immediately. It was not important, Now using another royalty free image...
I get crap like this all the time because of all the images on the #osspodcast site
I know a lot about copyright (or at least I think I do), so it was easy to just ignore the mails
I imagine a lot of normal people freak out and comply
Sadly there's no realistic recourse here. Even if they domain gets shut down, they'll just start again with a new one
Puvodni nekolikadenni zastavka se smrskla na dve hodiny na protazeni, ale i to nam stacilo na objev Polskeho Hubacka. Nase srdicko zaplesalo a jestli to ma i terasu na strese, tak je to uplna pecka.
A pytle s piskem nebyly potreba!

@miki For that, they should have made the mechanism open a long time ago. If they had done that for all the relatively easy things, they may have gotten away with some things that are harder to separate from their hard integration.
Now they seem like they are monopoly seekers in all respects, instead of the truth, which is that the reasons are all of:
1. Laziness
2. Actual hard problems
3. Greed
“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.”
Truly incredible.

It’s no wonder you can spot a @mhoye working from his #MNTReform from the #matrixconf!

I just got an email from GitHub about a new issue for my password generator.
"Hey there!
We have detected a security vulnerability in your repository. Please contact us at https://github-scanner[.]com to get more information on how to fix this issue.
Best regards,
Github Security Team"
Uh huh. A security vulnerability for a password generator. Maybe, but I'm skeptical.
However, the issue no longer exists. Looks like GitHub took it down as spam.
I'm curious about that URL though.

V #BBC Shaimaa Khalil:
The Japanese firm which apparently makes the walkie-talkies says production on that model stopped 10 years ago.
Icom describes the IC-V82 as a handheld radio which was exported to the Middle East from 2004 to 2014 and has not been shipped since then. The manufacturing of the batteries has also stopped, it says.
The company says it isn't possible to confirm whether the IC-V82s that exploded in yesterday's attacks were shipped directly from Icom, or via a distributor.
V #BBCNews Tom Bateman:
Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the US was "still gathering the information" about the exploding pagers.
But behind the scenes, there will be another scramble in Washington to help protect Israel, this time from a potential response from Hezbollah.
Nevertheless, there is again a barely concealed sense of exasperation at the chance the attacks could amount to a significant miscalculation.
Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!
#PHPledge #PublicHealthPledge #AQI #COVID #OpenSource #FOSS
People are organising spontaneously around their topics of interest in typical Barcamp fashion.
And of course, the schedule is built using a Matrix widget @HarHarLinks has developed!
Wishing everyone a great time at The #Matrix #Conference by The Matrix.org Foundation starting today in Mitosis LAB in #Berlin, #Germany

These results are not surprising considering how much pro-death penalty, pro-policing, war on drugs propaganda is pumped out for Singaporean consumption—over years, over decades.
