„Reiche Menschen, die nicht faschistisch sind, benutzen Faschisten, um reich zu bleiben, und Faschisten benutzen wiederum Kapitalisten, um an die Macht zu kommen. Die Wahrheit ist aber: Niemand lebt gut im Faschismus.“ — Rede an die Nation von @afelia: youtu.be/R-YwYpaSvJw (20min)


EU member states can now collect and share information on so-called “potential terrorists”.

But who is classified as a "potential terrorist?

A "shared understanding" was reached this year without democratic scrutiny. This left broad criteria for deciding who is a "potential terrorist or violent extremist threat".

The definition includes individuals categorised as:
• refugees and asylum seekers
• climate and environmental activists



hey people. It's something I've thought about for a long time before deciding to share it.
Whenever I listen to music, I find myself needing something very specific. For those familiar with musical terms, the track—whether with or without vocals—needs to be in either the Dorian or Mixolydian mode, or even a mix of both. I don’t enjoy other musical modes at all; they don’t resonate with me whatsoever.
While Celtic tracks often have this type of music in common, it’s not exclusive to Celtic music. Dorian and Mixolydian modes are used worldwide, so it’s not only Celtic music that I love. For example, 'Scarborough Fair' is a great Dorian example, while 'Norwegian Wood' by The Beatles gives off a Mixolydian feel, though it's not Celtic.
I sometimes wonder if something is weird about me because of this. I feel like people might think I’m strange for only enjoying this type of music, but that’s just how I am. I'm not sure if this is something typical or if it’s a bit unusual, but I feel an incredibly strong attraction to these two modes, while others seem unsuitable, almost as if they weren't made for me. If anyone else faces a similar experience, I’d love to hear about it.
It’s also closely tied to a form of synesthesia I experience, where only these specific tracks make me imagine something truly good, as if I’m on a peaceful, heavenly adventure.



Edit: they are thankfully still alive. They’re injured from the strike.

Both of my parents were in the Red Cross during the 75-90 civil war and have both said it wasn’t as bad, that they could still cross Israeli lines to help ppl at the time. Israel now just targets first responders as a matter of policy. This is a rogue, criminal regime.

Wifi extender was not cutting it in the shed/home office, so now got a powerline adapter breaking out to a secondary AP.
Reliability is much improved, so I can shift much of the etherneted stuff down here now and the NAS and other wired sundries can live in a cupboard

A really annoying thing that absolutely needs to stop:

- "More info in the discord!" / "Changelog in the Discord!"

STOP THAT.

Discord is a closed, proprietary platform. Post your stuff on the actual open web where more people will see it.

There is a chance that if my focus remains, I can get a networked version of the worms game out before the end of next week :).

The remaining things are:

  • Netcode
  • Weapons menu
  • Tightening up of the logic around rounds and turns.
  • Win screen.

Netcode sounds like a lot, but I think I'm going to be able to use off the shelf stuff for the actual server side. Already designed a proto I think will work.

If it does happen, I'll drop a link in here for folks to try :)

I'd be up for playing a round if you get there! 🙂


andaba yo leyendo sobre alguien que estaba haciendo bricolaje en casa. Aprovecho para deciros, amiguitos, que bricolajear es muy difícil y que, si no sabéis, sale más barato pagarle a un profesional. Más caro sí, pero al menos o queda bien.
in reply to Juan CBS

Eso si queda bien, porque también hay algún "profesional" que... en fin. Pero sí, en lo que uno no sabe mejor no meterse.


Question, once I have a CSV file, where do I place it inside my Mastodon client?

you don't, you upload it on the import pgae of your instance's website.


UK will at last comply with international law and hand over sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Maricious. Better late than never.

Is it possible to follow Hashtags themselves with Tweesecake? #Blind
in reply to Nick's world

I do find myself trying to unfollow a person I don't want to see but they only appeared because of a hashtag they used sometimes.


Call centres need to stop playing me MINUTES of automated messages telling me to visit their website. If I'm calling you, it's because your website cannot help. That is the only situation in which I would ever ring ANYONE other than my Mum.

We do this not because it's easy, but because it's less hassle than getting into a whole discussion about it.


This is the kind of shit that makes me want to not shop from your site. It honestly might be worth the doubled price at your competitor.

Uh, Android, I don't think I can use PayPal to send emails. I just don't think that's a thing I can do. Also, blind users of mastodon who happen to use galaxy watches, have any of you encountered issues trying to get eloquence working? I've installed it, but I can't run it and if I select it in TTS options, I get a grand total of no speech whatsoever.

If you click on an email and open it in paypal, it will open the send money page to that email.

I maintain my steadfast belief that “clean code” is like the “clean eating” of software development — an eating disorder based on feel good behaviors that are largely irrelevant and that leads to health issues.

Whenever you hear “clean”, save yourself and run!



While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :

In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.

I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.

Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.

Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after gaining access to OpenAI's new O1 model, I've started using it to analyze my own professional writing and it's doing a pretty fantastic job. It's giving me inline suggestions which are accurate and helpful, noting the need for clarity when necessary, pointing out capitalization errors, and understanding niche accessibility concepts without my having to feed it any context. It's also very self-aware; it pointed out a discrepancy between what I wrote and its 2021 knowledge cutoff, but encouraged me to verify rather than assuming its own knowledge was correct. It's insanely expensive compared to GPT-4O, but I can still have long back-and-forth exchanges and typically stay under the $1 mark. It's technically also available as part of the ChatGPT subscription, so maybe I should be using that rather than the API, but so far the cost has been minimal and I don't think I need to.

what's interesting to me is that on the Chat GPT site, it tells you what is actually thinking about specific to what you're asking. For example, when doing the "count of Rs in strawberry" it might say things like "verifying letters" and "counting total letters in the word," almost like you get to see more of how the thinking process came to be when your answer was crafted, which is very useful to scan (although I should note that it flashes by very quickly.)

'The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer.'

On his Telegram accounts, Mr Rasanen celebrates Hitler and promotes a neo-Nazi group called the Nordic Resistance Movement'

Just how sucked up is this young man,, Hitler would have had him shot for the colour of his skin.

I've given up on stupidity.
My family drove to vote for Brexit down a Welsh road paid-for by the EU, and they still thought their 98% white british population was being overrun by forreigners. You just can't fix stupid.
If they'd had a reasonable case, even if I disagreed with it, i could've gotten behind them. But they didn't, and doing things just because you're told bothers me more than most things.

Brexit.
Many of my Brothers and Sister and their partners voted Brexit because of immigrants, given one of my Sisters who voted because of immigrants has a Greek daughter in Law and 3 half Greek Grandchildren and a half Polish Grand child all living in the UK than and now, all I can say is you can't fix racists.

It broke my heart and we are still not talking.

hey, it works. Got a bit of a rhythm to it.
I have a .me, because I didn't like the sound of com and I'm not a company. having my own name as a .me made perfect sense to me, but at least once a month, usually if I'm giving it out verbally, someone will add .com or .UK or something to the end of it.
