06:14 lxo; mastodon is not the fediverse. mastodon.social even less so. there's bad behavior throughout society, the answer is not to step away from society.
06:16 TR News; Nowadays the concept of "toxic masculinity" seems almost synonymous with the belief that masculinity exists and more extreme or radical extensions of that presume men are guilty just for being men. Sort of like Catholics assert every baby born - male or female - is sinful and must repent. This is a sick and counterproductive ideology.
06:16 lxo; censors will also protect their bubbles from bursting, it's not a fediverse or mastodon exclusive. the only way to not get censored would be to not say anything worth saying, but that would probably amount to self censorship
06:17 TR News; When you appease extremists you unwittingly encourage their behaviour and enable it to spread, begetting bigger problems that appeasement cannot cope with (it no longer scales)

14:11 TR News; Jamie Love (James Packard Love) is still around, but getting old (about 75) and barely visible anymore. We need him in the fight against patents and mobsters like Bill Gates.
14:12 TR News; Knowledge Ecology International is barely even visible anymore
14:13 TR News; "In 1996, Love worked with Richard Stallman to create the Union for the Public Domain, which focused its attention on defeating a proposal at a WIPO diplomatic conference to adopt a treaty for the protection of non-copyrighted elements of databases."
14:14 TR News; "In 1997, Love worked with Ralph Nader to push the U.S. Department of Justice to bring an antitrust case against Microsoft for anti-competitive conduct relating to web browsers and other software products running on Windows. Nader and Love later asked several computer manufacturers to offer consumers the choice of Linux" -GatesPedia/Pedophile

He had spent years focusing on drugs that were just coming to the end of their patent life drugs that were by that time almost two decades old. But better cancer drugs are being developed every year"
14:17 TR News; "For the sake of women like his wife, Love realised he needed to be working on access to new drugs, not just the ones coming to the end of their patent protection."
14:18 TR News; "Jamie Love has never worked in healthcare. His crusade for access to medicines developed out of an early recognition that the drive for profit of big corporations was harming the poor. After graduating from high school, Love left his home town of Bellevue, across the lake from Seattle, and went to Alaska to work in the fisheries"
14:19 TR News; "Love had been working on the question of what constitutes a fair cost for medicines, on and off, since 1991. But the moment that would shape Loves career came in the spring of 1994, when he got an invitation from Fabiana Jorge, a lobbyist for the Argentinian generic drug industry."

17:21 lxo; schestowitz[TR2], nothing changed at FSFLA. I changed. I used to only speak about Free Software. now my interests are more diverse, and my blog doesn't belong there any more, so I'm moving.
17:23 lxo; but my social media history is different. I've long wanted to run my own instance, and I was aiming for GNU social, that I've used for 16y, but PHP is not my thing. just when I was about to make the leap, I came across snac, and because it's so lightweight, so easy to install, and implemented in C, I gave it a try, loved it, and now I'm switching to it for good
17:25 schestowitz[TR2]; i see
17:25 schestowitz[TR2]; so it's opposite of what i thought
17:25 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not them diversifying topics
17:26 lxo; nope. no change there. as sharp a focus as always

19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Well, I see the State government of Indiana has decided that they'll scare even more businesses and labor and conferences out of the State.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; This morning came more executive orders. Every cop in the whole damned State is going to be part of the ICE mass deportation program.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; So anyone vaguely brown should probably not go there or you may well find yourself being accosted by the police demanding "papers".
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; I read over Mike Braun's executive order this morning. It's so completely over the top that it had to go on for three pages detailing all the ways they plan to collaborate with ICE.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Including bringing in a joint terror task force (the Fusion Center).
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; And then the President tried to shut down almost every domestic program, including one that people who have HIV will die without if they can't get their medicine.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; So there's an extermination of, largely, gay men and racial minorities.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; A federal judge in DC put an emergency injunction on it, but I heard that all 50 States are now shut out of their Medicaid payment sites.

19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Hi folks. Just a note that I have been away for a bit. I know I started a big topic in December and then totally ghosted Matrix for a while I had a lot of personal stuff going on in my life over the last few weeks and I am just getting caught back up on everything.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; I say this, as I am about to attend conferences and events all of this week
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; But I'll do my best to catch up. And I'm glad that we are still moving forward as a team. I'm excited to think more about a project-centered way of organizing our planning.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; today
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; JWF (he/him)
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Carl Brutananadilewski: May I ask that you please do not bring up political topics here unless it has a direct relationship to Fedora or our community work? I understand the situation in the US has a lot of implications on DEI work everywhere. But this channel is not meant to be a general chat room for all political commentary from the world. We also have a lot of people from countries that are not the US in our community. Lots of
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; people may not understand the context of political news from every country.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; I won't say political topics are off-limits, but if we are going to talk about these topics, they should be about Fedora somehow.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Carl Brutananadilewski
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; I thought it might be worth mentioning, but I suppose I was just frustrated as it reminded me of about 13 years ago when a bunch of conferences got canceled and an offer was retracted over something else they did.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; JWF (he/him)
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; I understand being frustrated. I think venting is important. I just ask that you please do not use our team planning chat for venting. If you'd like to know more about how to participate with the team, we have some pointers on how to get involved.
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Speaking for myself, working on DEI efforts like what we do in Fedora is a bit of my therapy to handle the heaviness of everything going on.'
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Fedora DEI channel bans politics
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; even DEI politics
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; they say it must be about Fedora
19:41 schestowitz[TR2]; in t hat case, they break the rules all the time
19:42 schestowitz[TR2]; they just want it "gentle"
19:42 schestowitz[TR2]; sugar-coated
19:42 schestowitz[TR2]; if you bring up "T", they panic

21:34 IsambardPrince; Well, 20 years ago George W. Bush's torture lawyer, John Yoo, pretty much convinced SCOTUS to rule that people kidnapped and taken there by the United States had no rights.
21:34 IsambardPrince; If you have no rights, how far away is it before you put in gas chambers?

21:48 IsambardPrince; The SCOTUS said people the US kidnaps and sends there have no constitutional rights.
21:48 IsambardPrince; The only reason I can think of to send them there is so that they can commit a Holocaust.
21:48 IsambardPrince; There's not enough of a news media left to report on it and the American public is largely indifferent at this point.
21:48 IsambardPrince; I can't think of anything good that will come from this.
21:48 IsambardPrince; I just literally had the argument with my dad that Stephen Miller, who is a Jew, is also a Nazi. He stated that Jews could never be a Nazi. I said, he absolutely is one.
21:48 IsambardPrince; They learned well and people like Miller (Netanyahu) are the current governing party in Israel following a very brief coalition government that did not last."
21:50 IsambardPrince; "All the Jewish people I know are either like Netanyahu/Miller, you know, fascists, or the other half are just the nicest people you'll ever meet.
21:50 IsambardPrince; It doesn't seem like there's a middle ground, which is how the United States is becoming too."
22:15 IsambardPrince; MinceR, There's an ICE ERO officer on Reddit who complained he'd have to move because of Trump's executive order and he might have to resign.

22:20 IsambardPrince; A lot of Venezuelans I talked to were very pro-Republican and pro-Trump, and this sentiment was echoed in interviews and articles across their community. Because of their socialist government, they equate the Democrats to Maduros government simply because both are on the left while ignoring all the problems with the Republicans. They believed they would be exempt from Trumps rhetoric because they thought they w

22:26 IsambardPrince; Like he did in Chicago with Tom Homan the other day.
22:26 IsambardPrince; There's no trial. Dr. Phil shoves a microphone and camera in your face and asks you why you raped a little girl I guess.
22:26 IsambardPrince; Much faster that way.
22:26 IsambardPrince; Make an accusation and then it goes straight to demonization and punishment.
22:27 IsambardPrince; It's very quick. I'll give them that.
