@Migueldeicaza It looks like a video to me :shrug:
@malwareminigun Well this is odd, it looks pretty static to me, unless I click on it.
That's reasonable.
Sembla que a la rua del Barça han onejat la bandera palestina i l'estelada –totes dues banderes, totes dues reivindicatives– però per al món només és important una de les dues.
Les lluites compartides solen ser poc compartides.
@vmateusimeon no ho sembla, no, ho he vist en directe, primer la estelada de Lewandowski i després la de la de Palestina de Lamine Yamal, en pocs minuts entre una i l'altre.
La de la Palestina ha semblat una reacció d'algú a l'estelada.
Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately the government needs to be at least 18 years old, and have two doctors to sign off first with a diagnosis of political dysphoria (previously known as political identity disorder)
@Natasha_Jay Jay-Zus, girl! I'm so glad I didn't have hot coffee in my mouth when I read that. 🤣😂🤣
Swift performance: I learned a couple of tricks (I know they have been discussed in Swift Evolution, but I have been dragging my feet), so it was nice to see their use in the real world:

@chojzina Germany's fascist minister of the interior, Alexander Dobdrindt, even visited Israel in January expressly with the goal to learn how to oppress and control a population using Israeli technology and how to use it against the German population.
The article (in German language) is now unfortunately behind a paywall. It wasn't back in January.
They even called Germany and Israel "natural partners".
Dobrindt also very much likes deporting Syrians to Syria and Afghans to Afghanistan despite Taliban rule. He even invited the Taliban to visit Germany and talked with them about deporting Afghans currently living in Germany who would face torture or death if they were deported to the Taliban's Afghanistan. In case a reader was still wondering about Dobdrindt's character and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Gaza really is the testing ground for what presumably many Western countries have planned for all of us, including the amoral fools who prefer to ignore Palestine and genocide, and look the other way to focus on happier things.
After all, climate change will cause death and destruction over the coming decades, for all of us including those who currently ignore Palestine, and there will be (violent) uprisings. The fascists are very aware of that future and are preparing for it.
We have received a Copyright claim from Amazon for our @peertube instance videos.trom.tf/ . Hetzner, the hosting company where we have the dedicated server at, gave us 24h to resolve it.
The problem?
The video in question, a documentary about "aliens", a garbage piece of content, was NOT hosted on our instance, of course. But since Peertube is federated the idiots sent the claim to our hosting company. Even if UNDER the video you can see that video is "Posted By:" and the instance and username. It takes a few seconds to see where the video is hosted.
But who cares...maybe Amazon has "AI Agents" employed and they simply find a video of theirs on a URL and see the IP of that URL and submit a Copyright claim to the hosting where that domain is registered?!
Bunch of idiots.
But it is very concerning the fact that they can do these and we, the ones who hosts (and for free for that matter), need to quickly "fix" these things even if the claim has nothing to do with our server.
We eventually had to block that URL, thanks Peertube for allowing that, else these idiots cannot understand that it was not us who were hosting that video.
A Short Story Inspired by Recent Conversations
“Important Work”
“We are archivists,” the alien explained, “we travel from solar system to solar system searching for events worthy of recording to add to our library.”
“I am responsible for archives of moments of great happiness.” The alien explained, “I seek beings in a perfect state of joy. That is why I have come to earth.” She beamed at me as if this made perfect sense.

not quite sure if people have also reposted this story, but it's important to note how the vision of free access that #TheInternetArchive has is being bombarded by corporations like USA Today CO (they operate USA Today)

I am both unqualified for a job I'm looking at and also think it doesn't pay enough. Weirdness.

@matt putting it at 1. Place.
now nicolium+iceshrimp.net users can browse other instances' timelines by clicking the instance favicon next to account username (just as with pleroma)
@mkljczk How it works? Just a timeline of known federated posts but filtered by instance?
