#Fediblock manganiello.social

Reason: the admin is a nazi who says we need to close all Holocaust museums because Jews did not “learn their lesson” from it.

You just called "nazi" the "n word", I'm not sure if that's more or less outlandish than calling for the takedown of Holocaust memorials.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Oh Eugen, ¿it was possible, that the owner of mastodon.social, will do the right thing for once?

Asking for the temporary close down of Jews museums, to separate themselves, from the #Israel #Zionist is a great idea. Many Jews are against israel.

Zionist killed 60000+ people and are #starving a couple of millions. Commiting #war #crimes and commiring a #genocide in #gaza and an #ethnic #cleansing, according to the #ICJ in #hague.

Stop programming for a few hours and read what the world says in mastodon. And don't pretend to be more clever or witty than the rest of the world and the ICJ judges.

Germany and germans are loosing this argument, big time, all over the world.

Israel are #criminals and #murderers since 1948. That is an historical fact as big as the Jewish Holocaust.

@fabio @staff Does the money other museums get also get reinvested in specific external causes or it this a bar you have invented exclusively for commemoration of Jewish suffering? You are proposing the erasure of history, not only of the Jewish people, but Roma and Sinti, the LGBT and the disabled, as revenge for what the Israel government is doing, as if all Jewish people are responsible for it. This is not a normal opinion.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @fabio @staff

With respect, no he isn’t. He’s expressing an opinion that using an historical tragedy to mask abhorrent behavior now is unacceptable. He is entitled to his opinion, as are we all.

He is not suggesting that the offending museums should be closed or that their portfolios should be distributed elsewhere or erased.

The ‘different bar’ is a fair comment, but argue this point, not some other invented offence.

it's more reason to boot Ubuntu out of my team and switch to Arch or Manjaro for development.
in reply to It's FOSS

Ubuntu has been confusing me lately. They keep making sweeping changes that rework their entire distro away from the common standards. Yet they seem to be doing so based on extremely shallow reasoning? Why streamline? What bug are your trying to resolve? I know it ain't a size problem cause server isos are tiny. Are they bored?

TLDR; Why they streamlining and please tell me they have a default alias for wget to wcurl?

"turn your audience into a business." - mmm... are you sure you thought it through? i am pretty sure mastodon tries to be an antithesis of multiple, well know companies trying to turn people into a business.

@fmn I think you misunderstand our company ethos. We're against platform monopolies that inevitably exploit users. We're not against people using social media for business! Plenty of artists, musicians, YouTubers and journalists here on the fediverse for whom social media is how they earn their living.

People are talking about leaving Spotify because the CEO is a douchebag, so let me remind you that you can stream radio stations from all over the world for free with Radio-Map. It's been my primary source of music the past few weeks. I'm a little biased because I built it, but I've never invested in a company that's building dystopian killing machines, so you can stream guilt-free.

I'm updating satellite numbers for yet another talk.

There now 8,077 Starlink satellites in orbit, 1,240 have already been burned up in the atmosphere, depositing all their metal, plastic, and computer bits in the stratosphere as weird vapour (data from planet4589.org/space/con/conli…)

12,238 active satellites now catalogued. The fraction of Starlinks is actually holding pretty steady lately because so many other operators have started launching. Over 200 satellites launched this month.

It's been 3 days since I put in these numbers and just to make sure I am super angry as I go to bed, I checked again.

There area now 8,093 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 12,308 total active satellites. 1,243 Starlink satellites have burned up.

As with almost everything else happening, this is so fucking stupid, and I'm going to keep yelling about it. To calm myself down, I'd go outside and look up, but guess what I'd see?

I was recently very surprised to find out that an oil palm can be harvested every 4 weeks or so. This is an incredibly productive tree so if the tree is sustainably grown then you can get a lot of nutrition from it.

apparently unicorn horns were also reputed to have medicinal qualities, so I wonder if extinction was the same fate that befell them?

Thank you SO much Conversation! I've been trying to tell people for a number of years now that their worries about a declining birth rate are not well founded.

Fears that falling birth rates in US could lead to population collapse are based on faulty assumptions


"...The population collapse narrative hinges on three key misunderstandings. First, it misrepresents what standard fertility measures tell us about childbearing and makes unrealistic assumptions that fertility rates will follow predictable patterns far into the future. Second, it overstates the impact of low birth rates on future population growth and size. Third, it ignores the role of economic policies and labor market shifts in assessing the impacts of low birth rates..."

I would add to the faulty reasoning:

~ the replacement theory concerning POCs.
~ fear of women in the work force
~ loss of a base for pyramid scheme capitalists
~ environmental stress from loss of habitat to housing, etc.



EXTREME adorbs!

Playing Video Games Has an Unexpected Effect on Kids' IQ, Study Discovers


Scientists Discover Games Do Exactly What Gamers Have Been saying for Decades Is True & Applies To Video Games

#News #ScienceAlert #Humans #Intelligence #Learning #Games #Gaming #VideoGames #Children

in reply to Joseph Teller

I suspect it's the problem-solving needed to beat the games. I firmly believe that puzzles boost and (for us old folks) maintain intelligence.
in reply to Joseph Teller

@Jay Bryant I agree, its not just video games, but games of any sort have this value in maintaining and boosting intelligence, advancing neuron connections, pattern recognition, mathematical prowess etc. Video games add the ability to do so at one's own timing pace when there is no one locally to participate with.

This why games like Scrabble, Chess, etc. are also important learning tools, whether in traditional form or as videogames. The same of course applies to even more complex games and systems in computer games and online games where you have to deal with numerous other factors and adapt and develop strategies on the go due to random things like terrain in movement, resource management etc.





Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman

I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.
