Ich denke, wir brauchen dringend eine positive Erzählung, was nach dem Kapitalismus kommen könnte.
Aber so, dass sie sich konkret an der Lebenswirklichkeit und dem Sprachgebrauch ganz durchschnittlicher Menschen orientiert.
Und nein, "Anarchosyndikalismus", "klassenlose Kollektivordnung" oder "Rätekommunismus" sind da eher ungeeignet als Einstieg ins Gespräch.😏
Ich muss das überschlafen.🥱
Saying No and refusing to use unethical tools and platforms can be a powerful way to protest.

I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.
People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.
Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

I urge people to not give their DNA to corporations. Once the corporation goes into receivership, the Nazis will buy your DNA data. Your entire family, including people you've never met, will become fodder for their racial animus, and will be targeted.
Please stop. Use your heads. Fascism isn't a fun game.
RE: floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/1155…
If we may ask once more for your help here: there are still 15 "niche apps" left at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… – and 50+ other dormant apps at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… needing a "quick check".
If only 1 out of 10 of our followers would each pick a single app (we've highlighted each app's purpose in the lists, to make selection easier), each app would be covered 10 times over 😉 (unless all pick exactly the same app, that is 🤪)
Thanks in advance! 🙏 
This is a spin-off from #10 where I'd like some input from the team, concerning how to handle the following unmaintained apps which might be considered niche: * [x] [`com.ionicframework.backingtrainer763961`](https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.Codeberg.org
Dear #IzzyOnDroid community, we need your help for keeping our repo as useful as possible. No tech knowledge needed for this one, so anybody who's got an #Android device and some spare time can jump in here:codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every…
Are you using any of those apps, or would be willing to install one (or more) of them to see if they are still useful? Please then report there, or here to this #serviceToot – so we can get that issue solved 🙏
Thank you all in advance!

I should come up with a list of things that Japan is better at than "The West".
Things like cans. They are easier to open. More ergonomic. Why don't all cans work like they do in Japan?
Is that not a beverage can? US beverage cans have pull tabs like that. Well, most do. The braille label is good. I've noticed some European medicine boxes I've gotten have a bare amount of braille like that on them.
Do they have pull tab tops on canned foods? The US doesn't have that as much although it exists for some mixed nuts and fried onions cans...

The trouble with trending bots—automated accounts which boost posts that trend on a selection of other servers—is that they are a surefire way for your post to end up on poast and shitposter club. Even if your own server admin keeps a tight ship and a comprehensive blocklist.
Trending bots are popular on small instances, even down to single-user instances, as a way to help populate the federated timeline. They endow a post with further reach than vanilla federation.
Unfortunately, small and single-user instances tend to be run by privileged hobbyists that don't feel the need to install even the most basic of blocklists. Those instances are seldom the target of harassment, so why bother?
The problem is that with the default Mastodon configuration, server blocks aren't transitive. Your post goes to your followers, it gets boosted by a human or a trending bot, and it goes to _their_ followers, and so on. And at no point do those subsequent servers check with yours to see if you've suspended the destination instance.
Boosting launders suspensions.
That's why I block trending bots on sight.

Also Männer. Ich habe beschossen, mal aus dem Nähkästchen zu plaudern. Hier also die ultimativen Anmach-Lifehacks. Tricks, bei denen jede Frau sofort einknickt und die Beine breit macht:
- sehr ausgiebig erzählen, wie großartig man ist, insbesondere, dass man vor 30 Jahren mal ein geiler Hecht war (Leidtungssportler). Da stehen Frauen total drauf.
- einen inflationären broadcast raus schicken. Frauen finden es super, beliebig zu sein.
- eine Frau angraben, wenn die eigene Ehefrau daneben sitzt.
Taking money is often tricky. In the UK, it counts as self-employment income. If you receive under about a thousand pounds a year, that!s fine, so a small tip-jar thing is fine but once you cross the threshold you need to file a tax return every year and become liable for an exciting new category of national insurance contributions. If you want to pay someone else to do some work, you’re paying them out of money that!s already taxed (and then they need to pay tax)l or you need some other legal entity to distribute the money (I think GitHub’s donations thing can do this?).
When I was freelancing, I would do paid consulting for F/OSS projects I worked on and I already had the tax liabilities from other work so it was a tiny incremental overhead. Since I started working as an employee, I’ve mostly just asked people who like F/OSS project I work on to donate to Murray Edwards: it works as well to motivate me to do more on the project, is tax deductible in several countries, and means I don’t have to do any paperwork.
For tiny projects, small donations are easy. For big donations, it’s worth setting up a charitable foundation that can handle the money and pay people. There’s a big gap in the middle. Being under an umbrella organisation can sometimes help. If the Linux Foundation were not the absolute worst, they could fill this need. The FSF tried: they’re a lot better intentioned than the LF, but barely more competent.
#Spotted at a Vintage Christmas Market in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (50s?) in a floral dress wraps her arm around her friend's waist, grinning cheekily: "Shall we go in the shop over there and gasp at the prices?"
Her friend laughs: "Yes!"
They wander off, heads bowed together.
A dapper young human (11?) is promenading along in a bowler hat, waistcoat, tie, suit jacket, ironed jeans and shiny black shoes.
He's got a walking stick in one hand and his other is looped through Nan's arm.
Her pretty polka dot dress fluttering in the breeze.
Charm personified.
A small human (4?) is perusing bouquets of flowers with a critical eye.
Finally she chooses one, pays from an embroidered change purse, then kisses it with great ceremony before handing it to her farm gear and gumboot wearing Dad.
Dad taken off guard, eyes watering, picks her up for a big hug.
A small human (3?) is walking across a paddock carpark towards the market, holding Mum's hand.
Speaking in careful, optimistic tones he says: "Mum, when we get there do you want an ice cream or a pancake? I think you should have the ice cream."
A woman (70s?) reaches over a fence to pat a very hairy black yak. In return she gets a generous lick on the hand and laughs, saying to her friend. "Look at all that snot! Oh well, it'll wash off." She gives the yak an affectionate look and they wander off. (Continued Below)
I've wanted one of those these for a while.
