Canada built 44 bridges and tunnels across a single stretch of highway so that animals could cross without dying, and collisions with wildlife there have fallen by more than 80%, with grizzly mothers now teaching their cubs to use the crossings like a route the family has always known

Just as one of its states was holding a major regional election, Russian disinfo group Matryoshka was busy pushing disinformation attacking all the German political parties except the far-right AfD and the far-left BSW. I wonder why!
@campuscodi I hadn't heard of the BSW before (I assumed they weren't targeted due to irrelevance)...
... but then I looked them up and now I understand why: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht are a "leftist" party that just so happen to have a lot of views in common with the AfD and have expressed willingness to associate with the AfD

I've only seen a few episodes of the UK series. Have there been instances of people not being well-mannered!? I want to see who pushed back on a valuation!

@bkuhn @defred I think incrementalism is a technique of making social change:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incrementalism
An example in the FOSS world would be porting Free Software to proprietary operating systems.
And moral absolutism is a tendency to reject certain actions as inexcusable, regardless of context or consequence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_absolutism
So, an absolutist would oppose porting Free Software to proprietary OSes, since it's wrong to use or support proprietary software.
@evan
As you can guess, I'm not a pure incrementalist. I'm somewhere in between, and I think that's a weird road to walk. I don't really believe in compromising moral principles, but also I'm a realist and will occasionally compromise my *own* moral principles if it will make it easier for others to not compromise theirs.
I also am cognizant that personal psychology has more to do with morality than most are ready to admit. When I state this plainly, some are jarred. I'm not tactful.

you think activitypub vs atproto gets snippy? nntp vs html ain’t even an apples-to-apples comparison and mofos still out here duking it out in the information superhighway streets like it’s 1995.

A 12-year-old in California built a working printer for blind readers out of a Lego robot kit for his school science fair, after finding that the machines sold for the job cost about $2,000; the parts in his version came to roughly $350 in shops
A twelve-year-old just proved that assistive technology doesn't need to cost thousands when ingenuity and a Lego kit can do the job for under four hundred dollars.

@jpm @ThermiteBeGiants @Kels_316 [Jack Ryan voice] what are these doors at the back and the front of the Russian submarine
@mgpreppy I've not. But as impressive as the maze of tracks at Penn Station is, it doesn't hold a candle to the underground rail yard and interlocking complex at Grand Central.
@mattblaze I believe that! I’ve only had one or two chances to take a GC train ever.
I'm not Christian but I love the idea of a themed advent calendar. Anyone have recommendations or cool ones they've seen? Or things that are not advent calendars but have the same general structure?
@shauna various Lego advent calendars are fun. Star Wars...and a regular Christmas themed one...whatever the theme...the assembled daily pieces are tree ornaments...so get to enjoy them for many years.
Why, but why, would they cause harm to their users?
Some of them, users, simply lost contact with their peers, because they were using email @autistici.org. How is that not harming them?
that domain specifically was already put on hold by the registrar ...
