Mir fällt es schwer zu verstehen, wie die @Kirche@mastodon.social bei den Entwicklungen in den ca. letzten 10 Jahren zu so einer Entscheidung kommen kann.

Was sind denn die Argumente dafür, z.B. in Sachen digitale #Souveränität, #Selbstbestimmung, #Nachhaltigkeit und #Datenschutz?

Mastodon friends (US ones probably!).

Doing a but of sleuthing with some limited evidence and hitting a wall.

So some of you say certain words containing a long O after a short sound, like both, moment etc. but add in an L, sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.

So bolth, molment, and so on.

Is this regional? Generational? Education? The US doesn’t have a class system like large parts of Europe or Asia do, so I can’t speak for that.

Thanks for making this possible, Palantir!

I received an invite to the early access to the Android developer console in my inbox yesterday, the one related to Google's new push to make developers verify Android apps that are distributed outside Play.

Google had talked previously about providing a specific verification tier for students and hobbyists, but with limitation on how many app installs it could have. Well that sounds nice of them, right?

But the question I had on my mind back when I read that was: How many devices would that mean? Ten thousand, a thousand, a hundred?

Turns out it means just twenty. fucking. devices.

I feel like this got missed? Time Magazine (!!) is partnering with a gambling company to integrate instant betting on news events, such as the genocide in Gaza (!!!!!!)

The rate of collapse of major media institutions is absolutely blistering. Support your independent media outlets folks.....

An app for that: Cherokee Nation debuts official language-learning and dictionary app

With help from a foreign-based indigenous entity, the Cherokee Nation debuted its own language learning app on Dec. 9 in what it hopes will spur curiosity and pride in its endangered mother tongue.

Station security chief T'xtrt looked at the Humans going into the meeting hall next to the bar.

"One day you'll have to explain Human religion to me."

Thelma, the barkeep, shrugged. "Not sure it was wise to bring it with us."

"Anyway, I came to ask what you are. The records show you've run this bar for centuries. Humans don't live that long."

"I came with the humans."

"Yes. The records show that, too."

Thelma smiled. "Where humans can go, so can their gods."

Hey fedi,

Recently finished #Spiritfarer, amazing game, but now I'm kinda sad I don't have a #CouchCoop #game that cozy anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions for couch coop games with a similar cozy vibe as #Haven and #Spiritfarer? #Chicory was also amazing and very close to the perfect vibe, though Haven and Spiritfarer were ever so slightly more cozy.

Any suggestions? :)

gnop is another one of those tools on FreeBSD that I don't know a replacement for on Linux.

You can:

- fake the sector size, stripe size, etc
- customize read/write delay probability
- customize read/write failure probability

so if you wanted to test how your system behaves with misbehaving or failing disks, how would you do that on Linux? On FreeBSD it's quite easy

- Poe's The Raven is canonically set in December.
- The narrator is reading at night by the light of his fire.
- The narrator hears a rapping on his chamber door.
- The caller turns out to be a raven.
- The Norse god Odin is identified with ravens.
- Odin is also identified with Santa Claus.
- Ergo: the poem is about a December night visitor associated with ravens who, upon finding the chimney impassable due to fire, comes to the door and leaves a black gift as repayment for the occupant's ill deeds.

The Raven is a Christmas carol. QED.

do these guys have a single original idea that wasn't already done better by the Nazis?

Does anyone know a poem or phrase in Spanish that would be familiar for a non-religious wedding speech in Chile?

I'm not fluent and I have a friend who is going to help me translate, but it would be so helpful to have some kind of idiom to work with as a familiar anchor.

I am the brother of the groom, and what I would emphasize about both of them is an intense compassion for other people and each other.

I wish I knew enough Spanish to ask this question in Spanish 😭.

I feel like people are surprised when they learn that I, as someone who writes quite a bit about transfem disposability, have the attitudes that I do toward distancing myself from toxic people - transfems included. I feel like they see it as an inherent contradiction, or perhaps not practicing what I preach.

in reality, it's pretty simple. anything that I wouldn't accept from any other person, I won't accept from a transfem person.

when I write about transfem disposability, I'm diagnosing a phenomenon wherein transfems are granted far less latitude than your average person, or queer person, or trans person, as far as the missteps we're allowed to make and the space we're allowed to take up. we're valued less, and more readily discarded on a whim, than most other trans people, due to our intersection of perceived privilege and lesser social status.

what I'm not doing, is giving other transfems a license to treat me and others like shit and then claim "non-disposability" when they refuse to hold themselves accountable.

Q: are you a radical feminist?

A: yep, sure am!

Q: what do you mean when you say you're a "radical feminist?"

A: I mean that I'm a feminist seeking an end to patriarchy and male supremacy, rather than a liberal feminist seeking explicit carve-outs ("rights") for women and feminine people under patriarchy.

Q: ew, a radical feminist? like J.K. Rowling?

A: TERFs like JKR call themselves "radical feminists," but their beliefs and actions are geared toward maintaining patriarchy through enforcing the violent, oppressive heterosexual regime. therefore, I don't believe that TERFs are radical feminists any more than I believe that "national socialists" are socialists.

Q: what's a transfeminist?

A: a radical feminist whose primary goal is the liberation of trans women and transfeminine people.

Q: wait, why just trans women and transfems? what about-

A: I aim for the liberation of all people under the queer umbrella.

Q: well then why do you primarily advocate for transfems?

A: because I don't believe in supply-side queer liberation.

Q: doesn't that make you a TIRF?

A: "TIRF" is an oppression-reversal psyop geared toward painting transfems who don't perform transfeminine labor as oppressors to the rest of the trans community.

Q: so you only believe that transfeminine people are oppressed?

A: no. there are many axes of oppression. I choose to primarily focus on writing about trans women and transfems, and I've also written in the past about my non-binaryhood, Jewishness, disability (wear a fucking mask), mental illness, and fat body type, among other things.

Q: if you're not a trans woman, then why do you group yourself in with trans women?

A: because I'm an AMAB person with a feminine gender who takes estrogen, other people treat me like a trans woman for most intents and purposes.

Q: all of this doesn't sound intersectional. do you believe in intersectionality?

A: yes, and if you're asking me this question, then you should probably go read Kimberle Crenshaw. and, while you're at it, read Talia Bhatt too.

Q: do you hate men?

A: no. I hate masculinity, patriarchy, and male supremacy. it just so happens that the vast majority of men - and also some non-men - don't question the violence inherent in those institutions.

Q: wait - you hate masculinity? how is that any different than hating men?

A: "man" is a gender. masculinity is the oppressive set of beliefs and behaviors that most men adopt under male supremacy.

Q: what about non-toxic masculinity?

A: even attempts to reclaim masculinity in non-toxic forms rely on oppositional sexism - that is, masculinity as protective, assertive, and logical, as opposed to a weak, passive, and emotional femininity. because oppositional sexism can only reinforce patriarchy, I don't believe that "non-toxic masculinity" exists.

Q: do you believe that men can be oppressed for being men?

A: no, "misandry" doesn't exist.

Q: what about men's issues? don't men have unique experiences of oppression under patriarchy?

A: as a mutual put it a little while back (paraphrasing): "men's issues" don't exist. non-men experience everything that men do, except for the privilege of being men.

Q: doesn't refusing to acknowledge misandry, or talking shit about men, hurt trans women and transfems?

A: no. patriarchy, heterosexuality, and AGAB normativity hurt trans women and transfems. if a trans woman is hurt by people shit-talking men, then the fault lies both with the doctor who took one look at her penis when she was a baby and wrote an 'M' on her birth certificate, and with the institutions that enabled that doctor - not with the radical feminists who seek an end to all of the above.

Q: do you hate trans men and transmasculine people?

A: no. however, because I refuse to coddle transmasculine people's feelings, I periodically conflict with the minority of transmascs who expect every transfem they run across to perform labor for them.

Q: why do you write about transmasculine misogyny so much?

A: because it's (1) increasingly everywhere on Queer Fedi in particular, (2) mostly unacknowledged by the queer community as a whole, and (3) mostly targeted at transfems.

Q: why do you use 'transemasculation' rather than 'transmisandry' or 'transandrophobia?'

A: because transmasculine oppression is based primarily around people trying to coercively re-gender them into cis women. under patriarchy, no men or masculine people are oppressed for the fact that they're men or masculine.

Q: are you enbyphobic?

A: well, I am non-binary, so if you're going to accuse me of being self-hating, then you'd damn well better bring a mountain of evidence to the table.
