[00:00] MinceR the closest orbiter of the king performed a nazi salute at the coronation and publicly endorses the afd

[00:00] MinceR that nazi party.

[00:00] Sompi_ do you really believe that Musk made a "nazi salute"?

[00:00] MinceR yes

[00:00] MinceR did you not see the video?

[00:00] Sompi_ that's so easy to debunk...

[00:01] Sompi_ I have seen the video and it is clearly not a nazi salute

[00:01] MinceR it clearly is a nazi salute, as performed by a retard.

[00:01] MinceR which is the whole point of the nazi salute

[00:01] MinceR it comes from a retard (called mussolini, iirc) trying to replicate the hand gesture of roman emperor statues and missing the mark by miles.

[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)

[14:17] TR News "Resss fight for survival shifted Loves perspective, he explained to me over a pint of lager on a chill evening in London last spring. 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."

[17:55] lxo I got rid of some weight after I started with a nutritionist, a couple of years ago. I've put it back on, alas, because of returning to some bad habits

[17:56] lxo having gone mostly (but not strictly) vegetarian may have helped lose weight; regaining it is most definitely associated with going more often to places that serve mainly meat

[17:58] lxo I stopped eating out in the first few years of the pandemics. eventually my family returned to eating out, and that got me off balance, food-wise, it took me a while to adapt

[17:59] lxo but why would any one of my haters care if I got rid of or put on weight?!? :-)

[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] 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.'

[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.
