human-to-human transmission of fucking HANTAVIRUS through casual contact. well, at least this time we'll all just straight-up die, no fussing around with masks and such.

Good morning, all.
Today in various parts of the UK, you get to punch Nazis just by drawing a small cross on a bit of paper.
Why would you not.

What do you think they’re talking about?
ayyyyy bro who this beat for?
#Deepfakes are everywhere, but #DigitalForensics investigators are fighting back:
@FabMusacchio especially with the first image the building might be a bit crooked or the lines might just be a bit off. It's pretty close to having a vanishing point. It's even closer to having a vanishing point if you remove the wall line, that might not be perfectly parallel and look just at the tiles.
Going to the UK polls today? Remember, Labour is the party that just greenlit Palantir being in charge of all the health data in our NHS:
While the Greens are the party that has put Palantir on notice that all of its contracts will be torn up and the company will be ejected from the country after the next general election:
Hey lazyfedi, I'm preparing a second-hand machine for an acquaintance and it comes with Windows. I'm preinstalling the stuff they'll need and removing the junk they won't, but I'd like them to be able to create the first user themselves. Is there a way to "factory reset" a Windows machine that only wipes all the users but not the applications or other configuration changes?
@gabrielesvelto
Read up on the sysprep command. It wipes users and the machine name and causes it to go through the just-installed setup again. I can't guarantee it doesn't remove apps but I am 99% sure.
Today: off to talk to European Cyclists’ Federation. About… rail ticketing! 😀
But I’ve got the right mode of transport!

Well this is a little concerning.
A Dutch flight attendant has been hospitalized with HantaVirus symptoms and is being isolated and tested.
She was briefly in contact with the Dutch man who died from #HantaVirus after leaving the cruise ship Hondius. He had boarded a plane but was deemed too sick to fly and was removed.

Warming up after first stint at the local polling station. It's cold and dreich out there in Glasgow Southside, but some positive and demonstrative indications.
#Labour thin to vanishing on the ground, as throughout the campaign.
Anyway, to quote a couple of enthusiastic voters, "Both Votes Green. Let's go!".
we're kind of growing convinced that fedi encourages an unhealthy kind of communication between people -- in a way that's been amplified since the mass exodus from twitter
from our perspective, it feels like the culture on here has shifted to allowing for less nuance / genuine conversation, and more towards amplifying minor fragmentations and differences
so many voices on here seem to come from people we ostensibly share a lot of values with -- but who seem all unable to work together, breaking into in-groups based on what I'll call "absolute alignment of values" -- where people generally have significant common interests, like the survival of queer folks, but whose arguments have become so all-or-nothing that differing beliefs over implementation details are treated like fundamental ideological disconnects that proclude all possibility of collaboration
at this point, I think the people who agree on the important things -- like how we need to protect trans folks and immigrants in a world that seems to be growing crueler -- really need to be standing together, not arguing over the latest meta on implementation ideas like universal basic income, or deciding that someone still using their twitter is enough to implicate them as irredemably complicit in musk's facist antics
for us, I think all of this means that it's time to put this platform down, and continue our work to make things better in contexts where people still can make genuine connections and work with each other -- this one isn't serving its purpose of bringing us together, anymore; and the people who interact with us on here either seem to be folks who already very much agree with us, or who are unlikely to have their mind changed by even a thoughtful fedi post
we're going to do our damned best to contribute to a better future for all of us; and that means staying in the places that best enable us to do that, and leaving those that detract from the mission
