I've been using Google Translate for ages to talk with my family in Taiwan, and just found out recently that @kagihq had their own translation service. It's much better! You can give it context, which is super helpful for my use case, and it will give you style tips. It's also helpfully free even if you don't have a Kagi membership: https://translate.kagi.com/

@aapis @sebastian @Lazarou I was getting calls back from Nov-Apr and *nothing* since. It might just be me, but others concur the tech job market's ultra mega turbo fucked.

This is because if you take out the fake AI numbers, we're already at three quarters of recession.

On this day in 2007, 16-year-old antifascista Carlos Javier Palomino Muñoz was stabbed to death on a Madrid train by Josué Estébanez de la Hija, a soldier in the Spanish army and an avowed fascist, who had been on his way to an anti-immigration rally when he encountered Carlos.

@Em0nM4stodon security is always the excuse, this is about control. Western governments and corporations are increasingly unpopular, and instead of trying to improve policies and behaviour they are turning to authoritarian control.
We need systems that fail well. What happens if the government is taken over by fascists? What happens if bad actors buy out the company? These problems now are so obvious that you have to be naive and ignorant to not see them.

Steinmeier: Wir sollten vielleicht darüber reden, demokratiefeindliche, verfassungswidrige und rechtsextreme Parteien zu verbieten. AfD: Da fühlen wir uns natürlich angesprochen!

Hallo Fediversum,
ich habe mein iPad in einem Flugzeug nach Singpapur vergessen. Da ich mich auf der Durchreise befand, klappte es nicht mit einer Übergabe oder Weiterleitung nach Bangkok. Also liegt das iPad noch bei Lost&Found am Changi-Airport Singapur. Gibt es ggf. hier jemanden, der 1. aus dem Kölner Raum kommt und aktuell in Singapur ist oder am Flughafen Changi vorbeikommt und das iPad von dort mit nach Deutschland bringen könnte? Bitte boosten, Danke!

That is the #farright bias in big tech. They cater for #neoliberal and #conservative twats. They happy to ban and enforce safety when it is a #leftwing discourse.

Fuck this shitty platform.

In the Netherlands, cycling meets art & sustainability in a remarkable way. A glow-in-the-dark bike path inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting Starry Night lights up the town of Nuenen, where the artist once lived. The bike path uses thousands of photoluminescent stones that absorb sunlight during the day & emit a gentle glow at night, creating a swirling pattern reminiscent of Van Gogh's iconic masterpiece.

@Em0nM4stodon When I started mi privacy journey, I was afraid my family and friends were going to call me a "paranoid", but the truth is most of people know, even if it is subconsiouly, that our current situation is terrible and we need to do something.

It is useful to remember that Mozilla is still doing good things, even when they're blundering around doing idiot bullshit too.
