@archos to už jsem u akordů, ale vlastně to je to samé. Prostě technologická singularita přinese samé nečekané nástrahy...

If Trudeau gave half a rats fuck about foreign interference in Canada X would already be banned.

I just read this in a newsletter and thought it worth quoting and sharing. "I suggest that instead you keep your focus on all that is good in your life, and what matters most to you. I came across this quote from Maya Angelou that is perfect for this moment in our history:

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart."



Saw a YouTube short asking Kamala voters if they would date a Trump voter, and all the women go:

Eh, no. This is a person who has literally voted to put me at risk.

One white guy: sure! We need to tolerate that people have different opinions.

That right there.

Harm that doesn’t happen to you.
You can tolerate it because it doesn’t happen to you.



it should be even more obvious now that there are clear use cases for private, censorship-resistant ways to transfer money.

it should also be obvious that "crypto industry" grifters who are backing trump don't give two shits about that & are cozying up to fascists for profit

in reply to Evan Greer 🏳️‍⚧️

like, i never wanna hear liberals say shit like "there is no legitimate use case for private money" in a country that is on the cusp of criminalizing all reproductive and gender affirming care

i also never wanna hear crypto industry lobbyists claim to care about privacy while backing authoritarians



A comment from a non-native Finnish speaker made me realise today that our word for a fire, "tulipalo", is a compound word made from "tuli" and "palo", which both also mean fire. It's a fire fire.

7️⃣ Here's the 7th installment of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.

The graphical login prompt you see when your computer boots up is a sensitive UI: typically, when starting to work, without much thinking you'll type in your username and password, expecting it to log you in and provide you with your desktop session. However, what if someone just opened a website in a browser in full screen mode with contents that just *looks* like your login screen, …

I made an experiment. Went to YouTube front page, blocked all the AI/crypto scam ads that popped up and then refreshed the page. They stopped coming after 13 iterations during which I blocked 17 different ads.

I'd really love to know how much of the ad business is made up of scams, because it feels like it's a lot.

in reply to Gabriele Svelto

they fake numbers to charge more. They claim to target, they don't. Etc. Two different scams going at once.


Emigration is not a good way of avoiding authoritarian regimes. Sometimes its necessary, especially if the regime is turning violent

But emigrating from one authoritarian state to another will usually leave you genuinely worse off and being a foreigner in even a progressive state is always going to be a very vulnerable position.

Most countries will also outright refuse to give you a work visa if you are too old or disabled.

The problem I see is that if the community puts their trust in the one sysadmin they have, and that sysadmin turns out to be unreliable, then that might do more harm than if the community members either hosted things for themselves or depended on a well-run, reliable corporate service. I'm thinking about this as I consider taking on that community hosting responsibility for my sister and some of her friends.

I don’t know what the experience of others has been but until the most recent update, I wasn’t able to get VoiceOver to read responses from the ChatGPT app on a Mac. Today, you can kind of read the text, although all the text is reported as one object and any attempt to interact to read in detail doesn’t read anything.

“The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, the carnivores win.”

— French President Emmanuel Macron after the US reelection of Donald Trump, November 7, 2024.

Interesting perspective... There are many types of power, and Trump/Musk are just one.


"The thing that nobody tells you is that you can buy a real human skull online (shoutout to skullsunlimited.com). We did that, and then CT scanned it."

I must say, going into the business of selling real human skulls, and then deciding on skullsunlimited.com as a domain is a particular kind of person.

I want to meet this person (under the promise they wont do anything to my currently-in-use skull)



This triggers me so hard.

Reminds me of the story of a father / daughter conversation:

Dad: "Today is Presidents Day, do you know what that is?”

Daughter: “Yes. If the President comes out and sees his own shadow, we'll have four more years of this bullshit.”

Angličtinu mám odovzdať do nedele si myslím (myslím si to preto že to mám odovzdať do konca prvého novembrového týždňa, ale čo je prvý novembrový týždeň? bol do minulej nedele alebo je to prvý týždeň až do tejto?)

edit: podla mňa to bol prvý víkend nie týždeň

Finde es ja ein wenig nervig, jetzt hier aus allen Ecken zu lesen, wie doof es doch ist, als Politiker auf X stattzufinden. Stellt sich heraus, dass Wahlkampf auf Mastodon alleine echt witzlos ist, wenn man potenziell über 80.000.000 Menschen erreichen muss. Face it: Die meisten Menschen sind auf den großen, kommerziellen Plattformen unterwegs und beziehen ihre Inhalte auch dort. Kann man aus verschiedenen Gründen kacke finden, ist angesichts der Ausgangssituation aber vielleicht gerade mal egal, dass nicht das eigene Lieblingsnetzwerk benutzt wird. Am Ende gehq es um Öffentlichkeit und die findet hier nicht ansatzweise groß genug statt und wird es vielleicht auch nie. Denkbar ungünstig also für jemanden der Kanzler werden möchte.
in reply to FediVerseExplorer

@fexplorer Und wie viele Beispiele kennst du sonst noch aus dem Bauch heraus, bei denen es so ist? Mir fällt ehrlich keins ein und bei Trump liegt es vermutlich daran, weil es die Spirale des Irrsinns lustig weiter dreht, seine merkwürdigen Theorien von dort zu zitieren.
