Alan Turing bday, suicide mention
Alan Turing was born today
He was gay and neurodivergent, famous for 'Turing machine,' a model for modern/general purpose computers
he was also chemically castrated by his government for being gay (instead of prison time), and later committed suicide at 41
Rest in Power, Alan ![]()

Das mit der #CoronaWarnApp artet mir schon wieder zu sehr in Grabenkämpfe aus.
Es ist zum Glück die freie Entscheidung eines jeden Menschen in Deutschland sie zu nutzen oder eben nicht. Das Garantiert mir das #Grundgesetz.
Niemand sollte deshalb angefeindet oder benachteiligt werden.
Damit sind für mich jetzt alle Diskussionen abgeschlossen! PUNKT

Ideally with focus on poetry, I'm trying to convince my sister to start posting hers somewhere. A list with possible instances would also be good, I couldn't find one.
Can somebody recommend good instances that run #writefreely?

Is there an #Android keyboard out there that doesn't suck?
Basically I want a 1:1 replacement for Gboard, basically same layout but doesn't snoop on you as you type.
AnySoftKeyboard sucks because of confusing layout
Simple Keyboard lacks a built in spell checker or Emoji board
Hacker Keyboard sucks because of too many keys, and bad layout
ZDF baut Angebot frei lizenzierter Bildungsinhalte aus
Es war ein Experiment. Im Oktober letzten Jahres veröffentlichte die ZDF-Dokureihe Terra X erstmals Videos unter einer freien, Wikipedia-kompatiblen Lizenz. Die kurzen Erklärvideos zur Klimakrise wurden kurz darauf in diverse Wikipedia-Artikel zum Thema eingebunden, unter anderem in die vielbesuchten Artikel zu »Klimawandel« und »Klimamodell«. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2020/06/2020061001.html #ZDF #freieBildungsinhalte

I am reading an article thanks to @design_RG !
And in this article, it talks about how technology has impacted our brain functions.
And this is not only technology as we know it.
The use of clock for example has influenced us in ways that changed how we relate to our own rythm and action.
I'm leaving here a small part of this great article extracted from https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-us-stupid/306868/ and send to me by @design_RG :
>In Technics and Civilization, the historian and cultural critic Lewis Mumford described how the clock “disassociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences.” The “abstract framework of divided time” became “the point of reference for both action and thought.”
>The clock’s methodical ticking helped bring into being the scientific mind and the scientific man. But it also took something away. As the late MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum observed in his 1976 book, Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, the conception of the world that emerged from the widespread use of timekeeping instruments “remains an impoverished version of the older one, for it rests on a rejection of those direct experiences that formed the basis for, and indeed constituted, the old reality.” In deciding when to eat, to work, to sleep, to rise, we stopped listening to our senses and started obeying the clock.
Hello qoto!
Can someone explain to me how the #search function of #mastodon works in regards to #federation? I've read some guides but am still confused if for example the search for a hashtag only searches the toots the instance knows of or magically more of the Fediverse. Thanks!

Been playing this for the past week or so, and hanging out in their Discord. It's a free, open source project, and anyone can contribute (whether that's dev work, art, music, whatever). I started sending in some voxel artwork, and now I've got artist rank in their Discord :D :D
If you liked CubeWorld as it initially released a few years ago, check this out. #Veloren
Natürlich ist Polizei nicht frei von strukturellen Rassismus. Sie ist Teil einer rassistisch geprägten Gesellschaft.Aber die Polizei übt staatliche Gewalt aus und trägt damit besondere Verantwortung. Sie muss alle Menschen schützen. Deshalb ist Debatte hier besonders wichtig. https://twitter.com/Ricarda_Lang/status/1270616205938888705 #Germany
