There is nothing quite like the stillness of an old-growth #rainforest shrouded in morning #fog on a workday 😊 ...

The most important climate action you can take isn’t obsessing over your individual carbon footprint.
We need to change the system so the easiest, most affordable choice for everyone is also the best choice.
How do we change a system?
It starts with your voice!
Meryl Streep Say It Louder
"Since before the first treesit, from each encuentro to the songs of the original stewards of these lands, our actions have continued to determine space and time. Today, many prayers, a few songs, and a dance was all it took to experience a life without borders.
We will continue our prayers for as long as it takes to turn this imaginary border into a distant memory. We are calling all to pray with us. We are calling all to act with us.
This empire is more fragile than we could have imagined. Come, dance, sing, and pray while we topple it together."

Mastodon/Fedi is the social network for people who read the encyclopedia for fun as a kid 🤔
Do you use a non-hierarchical mind mapping software?
Hi @cwilcke,
was genau ist den kaputt? Aktuelle Version ist 3.34.1.

In meinem Uber gab es heute ein Karaoke-Mikrofon. Ich war kurz davor den Fahrer zu fragen, ob er auch passend "Schnappi das Krokodil" spielt, denn das war hier in Taiwan um 2009/10 tatsaechlich ein kleiner Hit 😀
Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Alles wird gut!
@pallenberg Geht's denn schon Richtung Airport?
Ich muss mich anschließen: Danke für den Ohrwurm. Manchmal braucht's nur ein Riff, manchmal reicht aber auch schon ein Titel. 🤦♀️✌️🐊
Are You Sure You Want a Car With a Giant Touch Screen? https://tech.slashdot.org/story/26/08/20/2030251/are-you-sure-you-want-a-car-with-a-giant-touch-screen?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon
@slashdot I want the touchscreen, just not the crap that plugs into it. Give me CarPlay and Android Auto. Maybe CarPlay Ultra if you’re feeling generous.
Wow. "AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. " https://mastodon.social/@gvwilson/117123155597432737
Who would’ve thought that getting AI to do your assignments would result in lower levels of knowledge & skills? Amazing!
@decryption all computers cache DNS lookups to speed things up.
@prefec2 yes but that’s not what I’m complaining about - I’m complaining about the initial lookup takes 3-5 seconds, for every domain.
This is not normal. This is the climate emergency happening right in front of us, right now.
Across the globe, people are suffering from wildfires and floods caused by the impacts of worsening climate change, while the world’s wealthiest polluters are still earning billions of dollars.
Enough is enough. Make them pay

"Certainly, compared to the situation of critical disability theorists, eugenic philosophers enjoy far more publicity, institutional support, and financial security.
Now we have a better understanding of *why* these hateful bigots have been so successful..."

#Fedihood looks like a really interesting experiment on the Fedi. Think basically like a simple version of Mastodon, but organized around places, so you can see people and conversations around specific towns / cities. Chat with your real world Fedi-neighbors, or the people living where you might be visiting. The interface is lightning fast, too!
I suggest creating an account not linked to your other Fedi accounts to maintain privacy. It's super quick and easy and doesn't keep location more granular than the city.
@hipsterelectron When half of these so-called libertarians stan Curtis Yarvin, you've gotta start wondering if it's "you played yourselves" or "your ideology is just proto-fascism and accordingly your actions will generally help the fascists."
@lykso i'm mostly pissed off about stallman having the line about the NSA and snowden in his email signature for a decade+ and then seeing the fsf blatantly used to push broken crypto and propaganda about iran. you're absolutely right that there was no defense built in against hostile takeover by the security state
Doing it doesn't make someone trustworthy but if someone doesn't immediately collapse into ritualized babytalk when arriving home to their pets then they definitely are not to be trusted.
i adopt the value system of my cat when choosing what to be proud of her for and after visiting a number of other cats i am so proud of her for being so fast and ferocious. she is like 3x as fast as the other cats.
