Staring incredulously at Europeans who claim that racism is only an American problem
@thomasfuchs also da weiß ich nicht. Was rasistischer ist. Man könnte einen Kinderschwimmtag sicher auch so organisieren, dass sie von vorneherein bunt sind, Schwimmlehrer und Betreuer in allen Hautfarben, Snacks aus jedem Kulturkreis...
I know that Elon Musk gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out.
I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.

Hey, I think *I'm* pulling my weight in the Hate #Musk Olympics! 😉
900+ servers.
1.5M accounts.
200K monthly actives.
That's my goal to reach before the end of the year, let's see how close or far I come
@dansup what is the reason that Pixelfed app isn't available at F-droid store?
FediForum Talk: How To Bullshit Your Way Through a Conversation about ActivityPub
@dansup will it be safe to skip a few releases?
@teledyn Oh yes, most def.
Each update is carefully provided by migrations that can be rolled back optionally, along with some other logic that runs (like clearing the cache of the version check once you update).
We are planning a big database migration that will ship next month, but instead of doing it during the update, we will prevent any downtime by gracefully running it in the background slowly, with intelligent automation that can handle most errors gracefully and keep on chuggin'
I was looking for a UI example of “pay what you want” and went to Gumroad for the first time in several years, only to discover its rebranded and so overrun with slop books it’s not even funny.
@diemkay yikes
Habt ihr auch diese AfD Wahlwerbung gesehen? Da seid ihr aber auf einen Trick reingefallen! Denn auch wenn es im Stil einer AfD Wahlwerbung gemacht wurde, klare Forderungen ausdrückt die Deckungsgleich mit dem jeweiligen Wahlprogramm ist und nur in Bundesländern zu sehen ist in denen gerade Wahlkampf ist, so ist es in Wahrheit gar keine Wahlwerbung der AfD!
Dies ist eine vollkommen neutrale Berichterstattung der AfD Bundestagsfraktion und somit von euren Steuergeldern bezahlt. Manch einer würde nun schreien „illegale Parteienfinanzierung”, aber nein! Schaut aufs Kleingedruckte: Liest man das Plakat neben der großen Forderung durch, so wird erklärt wie diese irgendwas mit irgendeinem Antrag im Bundestag zu tun hat. Das Kleingedruckte hellblau auf hellblauen Hintergrund nicht gesehen sondern nur das fette AfD Logo? Das ist der Punkt.
Spaß beiseite: Wir lassen das beim Bundesrechnungshof prüfen! Sendet mir gerne Plakate dieser Art als Bilder sowie wo und wann ihr sie gesehen habt. Das ist glasklar illegale Parteienfinanzierung und Wahlkampf mit Fraktionsgeodern, also euren Steuern. Das darf nicht, deshalb macht es auch keine andere Partei.
@ErikUden Nicht nur in Bundesländern, in denen gerade Wahlkampf ist. Genau das Plakat hing bei uns in Frankfurt am Main.
This article about an estate in Britain remaining green amid the drought has some striking images.
It came as a surprise to me to learn that the UK lost 90% its wetlands over the last century.
But the situation is similar in other places—lost to farmland that crept up closer and closer to rivers, including near us.
I came across Rewilding Europe while doing work for a Carpathian ecotourism operator. That’s how I’ve learned they’ve been doing research and work downstream on the Odra river near the German border Szczecin/Swinoujscie since 2020-2021 or so.
We’re much farther upstream but in an area once was lush with water and marshlands from Odra tributaries.
Without much time and physical ability to garden this year, we accidentally rewilded a large portion of our garden, including one zone I call “the marshlands”—where the previous owners dumped trash and bits of asbestos-laced roof tile.
This, coupled with our reluctance to cut trees meant our garden was cool and pleasant most summer long, even in 40C heat. We joked that it’s unfair some people work hard to achieve this level of growth, while we did nothing except let nature run its course. If it wants to be marsh-like, so be it. It really paid off, and a few butterflies and lizards now live in it too.
Though at some point all that trash trapped underneath it will have to go, but it’s incredible how fast nature will come back and take care of itself if you let it.

Idk man these new Android emoji feel like TEMU iOS. They’re so… shiny and unsettling. I’m sure I’ll get used to them (especially as they’ll likely trickle down into Linux distros), but I’m kind of bummed by it.
@cassidy I want the little green thumb aliens from android back.
At least give me the yellow thumb people.
So DHH (the racist and fascist) got 8 million USD for his foundation for his garbage half-baked config files that he claims are a "distribution".

@tante Proper joke, and I can see people eat it up because "omg pretty theme"
I took one look at a Linux space and they were like "Yeah this is awesome who cares who that is. Linux is tooo hard, even if my bestie Claude helps me"
I'm wondering if 95% of people are functionally unable to do internet search and are void of any curiosity tbh, because their mind may be blown if someone shows them Archinstall
@SaguaroLynx therein lies my conundrum—which one to default to. I do love a good, clear heading for a more technical group who wants clear labelling and to get to their answer faster. Hope it’ll be done by the end of the week. Thanks for the suggestions!
@diemkay @SaguaroLynx I would default to option A, and put the industry term in a parenthetical. Can't change the culture by prioritizing the default.
Especially when the default offensive jargon is also ambiguous. I've spent too much energy trying to get developers to tell me what they mean by "native software."
