Beautiful picture, my historian sense tells me it’s probably one for the history books.

I was wondering why Musk would bother with AfD in Germany.
Then I realised he would like to get away with murder there too.

Americans have woken up to FO, but out here we’ve been suffering through your FA for decades.
Honestly, I’m mostly just tired of it all.

I’ll have to do some serious planning around cutting all of my US ties. ~Joy~

The good thing about the Passivhaus concept is that they work (with small adjustments) in both cold and warm climates.
Which will really help, because Europe could quickly become either (actually: both), and nobody knows for certain when and how much.

Logged in to a #facebook account (in order to help someone delete it), and I suddenly got all kinds of ad preferences I had to okay.
Doing this from the EU, so now I'm left wondering: stricter EU laws = good sign, or FascistBook want more data = bad sign.
I cannot reconstruct or take screenshots, because, well..., the account is deleted and I don't want to reinstate.

As an historian, I cannot in good conscience let this go by uncommented. (Like some words put into the Fediverse matters, but still. 🤨)
My heart goes out to the people of America, who will have to decide whether they want to support or fight fascism by next Tuesday.
Wisdom and courage to you all.
For context:
"Prior to the war, the Nazis had focused on encouraging Jews to emigrate from the Greater German Reich through their antisemitic policies and actions. By 1939 in Poland, the Nazis escalated their actions, and segregated and imprisoned Jews for future deportation. At this stage, the Nazis planned to deport Jews to Madagascar or lands further east. Later, in 1941, as both of these options were realised to be infeasible, the Nazis created extermination camps to liquidate the populations of the ghettos instead."

PS: just like with the Nazis, there isn't a big plan. These people don't use violence strategically, they'll just escalate because it works and make up excuses afterwards.

To those who want to preemptively block #threads (in case your instance admin hasn't done so already):
Search for "@zuck@threads.net", click on that profile and then there is a menu item (under the ellipsis "..." button for me) with an option to "Block domain threads.net".
That's it.
Why? Why not? Also, see this article:

Something of a public pledge to myself.
I'm taking a hard, long break from (social) media, including news, series, and movies, but also this place.
I'm off to enjoy books, listen to music, and take care of myself and the people I love and like.
Have a nice one, and be kind to yourselves when you can.

Just a gentle periodic reminder that #TruthSocial is by any way I can legally determine, still running the 3.4.1 version of Mastodon.
3.4.1 was released on 2021-06-03 (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.4.1) which means it very likely includes the #CVE202423832 vuln, as well as many others.
The 3.4.10 release (9 updates later!) had its End Of Life 2 years ago (2022-11-06), so 3.4.1 is shockingly ancient.
It is an accident which has likely already happened.

Them: “This may sound like spiritual garbage, but if you touch someone, they also touch you back.”
Me (but only in my head): “that’s not spiritual garbage, that’s one1 of Newton’s Laws of Motion.”
1 Third Law, after looking it up.🤷🏻♂️

There is, bhikshus, that place where there is
no earth, no water, no fire, no wind;
no base of boundless space;
no base of boundless consciousness;
no base of nothingness;
no base of neither-perception-nor-non-perception;
neither this world nor other worlds;
with neither the moon nor the sun.
Therein, bhikshus, I say, there is
neither coming nor going nor standing;
neither dying nor arising;
neither the established nor the occurring;
nor even this sense-object.

In honour of Schrödinger’s cat, I’d like to suggest that once a post of a cat picture with the hashtag #Caturday appears, that day is immediately observed across the Fediverse to be a #caturday.

I hate to say this, but if a state actor gained access to a wiretap setup, and they passed that access to knowledgeable operators, the metadata compromise is not what those targeted should be most worried about.
I do understand that is the framing both the FBI and Verizon would want us to focus on though.
Also, compromising the LI or network environment of a telco is very different from a device compromise. Let's keep that in mind when we read things like "Chinese hackers targeted data from phones."
Here's hoping everyone uses e2ee, in which case any potential LI compromise will have been just a little less valuable.

Tying to explain time dilation and gravity to a ten year old, and reducing it to their world made me finally put in the effort to google some shit and also helped me actually understand things.
