I was like “LOL gnome feels the same about Lunduke as I do!” and then they were dicks about it - upholding gnome’s reputation also, I suppose.

So what if some new member posts a link to Lunduke article not knowing about some unwritten rule… and they get banned? Yeah that’s rubbish. Write your rule down somewhere FFS. This will scare off new or unaware users.

Hell, until recently I wasn’t even aware that others disliked the guy as much as I do. The most info I got on him being disliked came from his own articles, which was amusingly helpful. :neocat_laugh:

you assume I am a machine that cannot discern intent, and can't obviously distinguish between somebody that posts a link to a known fash because they don't know any better, and somebody that posts a link as a way to be an asshole and rage farm.


Aaaand… Welcome to the RB family, AlternativeUnlockXposed! Thanks to the efforts by its author, the app now builds reproducible:

Huh. Speed limits on Ontario hwys changed. I mean, folk were already doing 120 if no cops around, so 110 no big deal, so far anyway. When it registers, will 120 turn to 130? Not great for pollution, but we have an idiot PM who isn't big into science or environment.

I'd like to clarify the origin of the accusations against #ImaneKhelif because I don't think most people realize where they came from. The vitriolic mix of of misogynist, transphobic and racist insults against the Algerian athlete started days before the match, largely on Italian papers belonging to far-right politicians and businessmen. Here's a few examples from late July (English translation of the titles is in the alt text). 1/8

This stuff was quickly picked up on Twitter/X by Italian far-right and Russian disinformation networks that amplified their content and eventually reached Elon Musk. Musk felt obliged to share them even more widely. Italian right-wing parties have had long ties to Putin's regime, so it's completely unsurprising to see them spread the same disinformation. 5/8
in reply to Gabriele Svelto

Which brings us to the reason why this stuff was brought up in the first place: Italy's far-right government is running into trouble, being completely incapable of running the country, and has been isolated within the EU, even managed to fight against other European right-wing parties. This fall they'll probably have to enact large budget cuts which will be deeply unpopular, so they're trying to change the public discourse to *anything* that is not governance. 6/8

The Space Shuttle had a 59-pound printer on board, known as the Interim Teleprinter. Putting this heavy printer in orbit cost $1.5 million per flight, but it was a key piece of flight hardware,

Ah, I can see this: github.com/Ivy-Apps/ivy-wallet…. I'm not a dev so I don't know what's going on there. It's a nice app but since it's not on F-droid I'm kinda skeptical about it so I disable network access for it xD
in reply to Tris

@triskelion I'm no Android dev either, but that would change the app name shown to drop the "Demo".

But before I give you false hope there, I'v just looked into the latest release: wouldn't be welcome at IoD, sorry. Comes with Crashlytics, Firebase, GMS etc – so too many proprietary components. Also, why would a wallet app need your location? The app description gives no clue (but speaks of "privacy"). Draw your own conclusions, and I might be wrong to call that "a bit risky"…

Sidewalks used to be wider. It’s a fact that rarely gets acknowledged in discussions about road diets. Usually the road diet debate is framed as taking space AWAY from cars. Really it’s about giving it BACK to pedestrians. Here’s a good article about it tinyurl.com/2s4bzxw3

Wonderful article: "Computers can be understood": blog.nelhage.com/post/computer…

"…no single human understands all of the layers…from the transistors and silicon up through …the application code, not even to mention all the network services involved…"—why I am, shall we say, not a fan of the phrase "full stack".

"…engineers I’ve worked with (including myself) who are the most comfortable reading unfamiliar code bases are at risk of habitually undervaluing documentation…”—ouch, that one hurt.

Toto si tu odložím s mojou predikciou - tento výplod od Gartnera sa ukáže ako extrémny príklad genAI hujerizmu. Určite, genAI má potenciál určité odvedvia značne posunúť a prekopať, ale tento prehnaný optimizmus kruto narazí a ja len dufam, že to nebude mať následky ako prasknutie .com bubliny.

Hipe je okolo toho neskutočný, všetci to majú potrebu nacpať doslova všade, alebo aspoň to napísať. To je jak blockchain pred dekádou.
Ale je to už dobrých 18 mesiacov čo sa tento balónik vypustil a nejaký výraznejší posun, dokonca ani v aplikáciách kde sa dá na prvú očakávať, že by to mohlo mať naozaj zásadný prínos to poriadne nevidno. Naopak skôr vnímam nabaľujúci sa bludný kruh detských chýb a nových problémov.

Imane Khelif is a cis woman, she has experienced 9 losses against other women in her career, including the 2020 Olympics where she lost against Irish participant Kellie Harrington. Yet, the usual transphobes are currently unleashing a vile attack against her, misgendering her, accusing her of being a man competing unfairly and having some sort of advantage against her fellow athletes, all because she doesn't fit their incredibly limited norm of how a woman should look.

Suddenly, people who never cared or know much about the sport are very interested in women's boxing, and found a scapegoat in her in order to spread their disinformation. Khelif is currently receiving more vitriol than convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde who was still allowed to compete.

This is basically yet another reminder that it was never about genuinely caring for the safety of women. Transphobia is dangerous for everyone, *including* us cis women, and that the links between TERF ideology and white supremacy are very real. Feminism isn't feminism if it's not intersectional.

in reply to Annie Hsh 👾🖖☕

Lin Yu-ting originally got into boxing wanting to protect her mother from domestic violence, which clearly shows that she has experienced domestic abuse first hand.

Imane Khelif grew up in poverty, she started boxing when she became good at dodging the physical attacks of boys in her village, traveled 10km to train, and had to work to pay for her own bus fare, as her father didn't approve of boxing for girls. An experience that a lot of girls who grew up having so-called "tomboy" interests are probably familiar with. I know I am. She has recently become a UNICEF ambassador, aiming to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams. (unicef.org/algeria/en/stories/…)

Not that the transphobia and clear racist undertones of attacking these two women, despite the fact that they are both cis, aren't horrible enough, but there's something particularly sinister and cruel in the fact that the people who decided to paint them as villains and keep circulating disinformation about both, claim to act in the name of ending violence against women and protecting women's rights.
