The Washington Post backed out of a $115,000 ad buy from Common Cause and the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund when they saw the message: "Who's running this country: Donald Trump of Elon Musk?"

Here are the ads that Jeff Bezos's newspaper refused to run.



What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

#Musk would be very unhappy to see this ad, which was accepted and then rejected by the #fascist cowards at #WaPo. Would be a shame if it got a head of steam on social media.

Permanent ice caps have been quite rare in geological history. This new study suggests that's because you need to right combination of paleogeography (which affects weathering rates), exposed lithology (different rocks draw down more/less CO2 as they weather, and plate tectonic configuration (which affects volcanic degassing), all working in the same direction, to get into an icehouse.

'Many of those who wind up in therapy are nihilists, or depressive realists, rather than existentialists. (Yes, the latter may still seek and need treatment and may even fluctuate between nihilism and existentialism.) And when they do, more often than not they place the burden of proof on the therapist, expecting the clinician to create an airtight case against their views while not acknowledging how their commitment to irrational thought precludes a successful rebuttal. At once, the patient indicates that he would and wouldn't change, setting the bar so high that it necessitates the inevitable "I told you so." It isn't that people want to be unhappy; it's that they don't believe they can tolerate their fears or have good things. Fundamentally, to them, the existential choice is between hopelessness and eventual disappointment. So, as they evade, they project their anger onto the world and say, "It isn't me who's awful; it's all of you."'

Yeah, they start out that way, steal your heart, gain your trust and then ambush you, steal your socks, and pretend they didn’t knock that item off of the shelf. I can see it’s already too late to warn you.

@Friendica Support @Tuxi ⁂ So oft ich auch die Namen meiner Feeds personalisiere (meinrss@anonsys.net) personalisiere, sie werden immer wieder ohne mein Zutun vom System geändert.
In diesem Bespielfall ist der personaliserte Name Neues Deutschland, wird aber immer wieder in nd geändert. In anderen Feeds läuft es ähnlich ab.
Gibt es dafür eine Erklärung?
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

@Tuxi ⁂ @Rainer "friendica" Sokoll Dieser Feedreader muss selbst aufgesetzt und gepflegt werden. Da bin ich dann schon draußen. Macht aber nichts - Firefox bietet die Erweiterung Feedbro an, die ich jahrelang genutzt habe und zufrieden war.
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

Ja, es ist ein anderes Konzept: FreshRRS ist /auch/ ein Reader, zuerst aber ein Aggregator, der die Feeds sammelt und dann den Clients zur Verfügung stellt.
Ich verwende vier Reader (3 Computer, ein Telefon) gleichzeitig, und alle bedienen sich bei meinem FreshRSS. Es ist wie ein Mailserver, der ganz unterschiedliche Clients mit denselben Mails versorgt, und alle Clients sehen, was schon gelesen wurde, in einen Ordner verschoben etc.
Solange Du nur einen einzigen RSS-Reader verwendest, bringt das natürlich nichts.



Hallo @Friendica Support mir ist im Monitoring vor ein paar Minuten aufgefallen, dass meine Instanz gerade viel zu tun hat. Also wesentlich mehr, was sonst los ist. Ein Blick im Adminpanel bzw. in die Warteschlange sagt mir, dass aktuell wieder viele "UpdateContact" Jobs am laufen sind. Verstehe ich das richtig, dass diese Jobs einfach nur die Kontakte aktualisiert? Wenn ja, wieso verursacht das so viel Last auf der Maschine? Oder steckt da mehr dahinter?
Cc.: @Michael Vogel
in reply to Tuxi ⁂

I've had up to 10k jobs in queue with "update contact", with a tremendous load on the system.
I ended up disableling completely the "auto discovered contact directory" thing in the admin panel. This thing seems to go in endless loop or something like unregulated jobs spawning.
