Did you know @Unilever is only “making a better world” for their investors NOT the planet? Their use of “sustainable” #palmoil destroys #rainforests causing #extinction. Fight back and #BoycottPalmOil 🌴🪔🔥☠️ #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/…
in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

I'm always a little uncomfortable about this issue. The UK used to be covered by woodland but most of them have been cleared over the last centuries leaving farmland and a biodiversity desert.

Malaysia where I am at the moment went through mass clearances for rubber production and now they are mostly cleared along with more rainforest for oil palms.

I suspect the alternative would be clearance for other forms of agriculture which is probably even worse.

Palm Oil Detectives

@X31Andy This argument fails to account for a major issue - #extinction risk. Other crops can be grown on land far less biodiverse than #palmoil. Palm oil can only be grown on razed and destroyed tropical rainforest, where the highest number of animals and plants live. That's ONE THING. Another is that there is now #palmoil made from microbes, carbon dioxide, fungi and algae being generated and commercialised. This is made in a lab and requires ZERO DEFORESTATION to produce. So which would you prefer? More here

Storytelling, World Building, and Establishing a Better United States


I know things seem dark right now, but creators have the means to point people in the right direction, so that we can pass through the challenges we now face in the US and out the other side to a better world. And I do mean world, not just the United States.

We have to have clear and hopeful dreams for what can be. The clearer our dreams, the faster our changes can come into being

I am calling upon our patriot storytellers to join me for a talk on Hopecore worldbuilding. What would a United States worth living in look and feel like? What would we need to do to make it a reality? What national and cultural changes would we need to pursue? And how do we build these ideas into stories that inspire?

This is an extension of my Hopecore talk, but the focus is solely on world building.

I would love to have you join us! You can sign up here: mobilize.us/indivisible/event/…

Thanks for checking this out!

A few weeks of X’s algorithm can make you more right-wing – and it doesn’t wear off quickly


A new study published today in Nature has found that X’s algorithm – the hidden system or “recipe” that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order – shifts users’ political opinions in a more conservative direction.

Led by Germain Gauthier from Bocconi University in Italy, it is a rare, real-world randomised experimental study on a major social media platform. And it builds on a growing body of research that shows how these platforms can shape people’s political attitudes...

Wrote a blog post, instead of another GitLab Snippet, on upgrading our two #Tor relays to use the new Happy Families feature that was released yesterday in Tor 0.4.9.5. All in all, it was extremely uncomplicated to set up, and maybe that can encourage more people to try it out sooner rather than later! 😎

The post assumes some likely #Debian and #Ubuntu specifics, but most should apply to other distributions as well. Blog post at ahf.me/blog/2026/02/13/upgradi…

in reply to Alexander Hansen Færøy

Awesome to see more operators upgrading to #Tor 0.4.9.5, but also to see the number of Happy Families increasing! Over the weekend, the following has happened:

- We have gone from 185 to 952 unique relays uploading Happy Families keys. Of those, 104 are Happy Families only.

- Of the Directory Authorities, Babelmoo and Bastet joined Moria1 in running 0.4.9. We need consensus method 35 for HF to show up in microdescriptors.

Progress on all fronts 😎

At Mastodon we have most certainly reached out to other projects to coordinate on quotes with authorization...
in reply to Eugen Rochko

instead of being defensive we could take this as an opportunity to see that there is a lack of communication on a bunch of fronts. The roll out of quote post support across the fediverse has been great to see but there are a lot of frustrations with it still and I think a lot more could be done in future standard upgrades with inter-project communication
