It's easy to hate journalists, it's easy to hate the mainstream media. Here's something that's hard, though: working in Venezuela, village after village, to find out who Trump and Hegseth have murdered in the name of fighting “narco-terrorism.” They were real people, with names, jobs, and families.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
That thing when you are typing out a "why do people keep posting X, what is going on in their minds?" toot and as you type further you realise yep it's ableism again, they think they're Healthy Special Ableds so even if it keeps happening to everyone else, it won't happen to them 🙄
Hello Fediverse -- let's have an #introduction and introduce ourselves :3
We're dotmeow, a queer-run community project to register the gTLD .meow. But not only for meows and giggles! The profits of this gTLD shall go to community causes, turning every domain into queer community support, especially focusing on trans issues.
While we've already passed the ICANN Application Support Program, we're just now launching our web & social media presence(s). So while there's not much to see here yet, follow us if you're interested in registering a .meow domain and potentially supporting us in the way -- crowdfunding TBA soon.
Outside of announcements we want to engage with the fediverse as regular fedizens and won't spam you with meaningless ads <3
If your company uses web technologies but has never tried to solve pain points by fixing the web platform rather than working around the issues, why is that?

Today makes ten years married. Been together twenty-eight. Never figured marriage would ever be on the table for folks like us.
We fought for it. Finally got it.
Now, these days, we worry it could get taken back. Freedom ain’t free, ain’t promised, and sure as hell ain’t guaranteed.
We stand with everyone fighting for the same right—to stand as who they are, love who they love, and not have to fight for the right to exist.
awesome take on #fediverse and #social #web: #cooperatives
Thanks "Seizing the means of communication; a plan for community-owned social media" https://www.sfscon.it/talks/seizing-the-means-of-communication/ at #SFSCON
Harry says the entire network — the Fediverse — is an exercise in cooperation. True! #sfscon #fediverse #fediforum
Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all who celebrate.
I was unaware of the hashtags, but I'm in! Just joined #RubiksCube and #speedcubing tags.
I've just started translating the book concerning Rubik's cube tactile version. You can find more information on https://tactilecuber.com - the author is Paul Martz, a 62-years-old blind man who bought first cube in 1980 when he was still sighted. I'm born blind instead, and waited 34 years for a tactile-based resource about the cube. Till spring 2025 there wasn't any resource in English as well, before Paul published his book. Now, I'm going to translate it in Italian as well, to provide it to all #blind related associations around the country. I also have started sort of Italian written blog where I share my #cubing adventures. I also ping @nationsblind who I suppose are aware of Paul's efforts. And also @BPI Blind LGBT pride international association where I'm a member and would like to cooperate in concrete ways rather than talk and talk.
PS wondering if there are Italian cubers here around #fediverse
mention @mastoblind group to make other blind folks aware.
That surveillance can be weaponized against you, through "surveillance pricing," which is when companies raise prices based on their estimation of your desperation, which they can infer from surveillance data. Surveillance pricing lets a company reach into your wallet and devalue your money - if you are charged $10 for a burger that costs the next person $5, that means your dollar is only worth $0.50:

Forcing diners to use an app has other advantages as well. Remember, an app is just a website skinned in the right kind of IP to make it a felony to add an ad-blocker to it, which means that whenever you use an app instead of a website, you are vulnerable to deep and ongoing commercial surveillance and can be bombarded with ads without you having any recourse:
