"The idea that technology can provide a silver bullet to solve complex societal issues does not stand up to examination"

The Online Safety Bill will make a bad situation worse. Having context-blind algorithms scan our chats and images for whatever any government says is harmful will put all our privacy at risk of overreach.

Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

yeah, other problems like plastic and toxic waste are often completely ignored.

i think this focus on things everyone needs - food, heat and short-distance private transportation - is misguided at best and evil at worst.

there are many other things one could point to, which aren't touched, like subsidized kerosene. people trying to police my food and car who themselves fly around the globe all the time like greta and the cop27 gang are a dime a dozen. why are there still cruises across the ocean?

that these bullshit vacations are still allowed while cars and food are policed feels like a dystopian novel where usually everything is verboten but once a year you go on vacation and indulge in all these things.

@squell it's no turf war, it's a war of policing speech and giving away decisions to higher powers. on qoto and many others you have to block things yourself. some people hate this idea and exclude e.g. qoto for not having a massive instance wide blocklist of "dangerous" servers.

it's not a turf war, it's a war of how you want to live your online live.

Yet Another Cool Kid's List. Tag yourself!

They *still* haven't learned their lesson on just aggregating lists; Existing in a "top 100" list is a valid reason for this one.

@SpaceElf @Becassine a little infinite artificial pregnancy can't hurt! _everyone does it!_

@bonifartius @nt5tm butter made without driver and on marginal land (like here in Switzerland) is definitely carbon neutral if top soil persists.

Import soy and corn driven is a carbon source and thus unsustainable. Top soil over there gone - inputs gone.

@bonifartius das sollte in der Untersuchung klipp und klar stehen.

Anno 2008 haben sie an der Uni Papers, die nur zitieren und nchts ausweisen, nicht als Quelle akzeptiert.

Kreiswichserei heute: "Man" weiss ja...bekanntlich....wie im UNESCO-Bericht steht... usw.

@bonifartius @nt5tm What they'll never tell you about the methane is that healthy soil fixes it, transfers it into feed, which cows then eat and process. It's a self-solving issue that is only a problem because these retards look at forests and go "yeah let's grow soybeans & canola here."

Today I will blow your mind. 🙂

Most entomologists refer to bees as vegetarian wasps, as bees evolved from carnivorous wasps about 120 million years ago.

But did you know that there exist species of Vegetarian Wasps called Pollen Wasps - Pic 1 (Wikipedia), and Carnivorous Bees called Carrion Bees - Pic 2 (Ricardo Ayala)?

The wasps don't have pollen carrying hairs so they eat the pollen and regurgitate it at the nest.

The bees have special gut bacteria to digest meat.

also the machine learning is always an approximation with _unknown uncertainty_. with other stochastic or heuristic algorithms or you could at least give an uncertainty value. here it's usually just "trust the machine". fine with enhancing images, not the thing i'd trust my life with or base decisions on.

So it looks like the delisting might mean we arent even showing up on the official mastodon app for apple now.

Shame on you @Gargron you are a disgrace!

Does anyone know why the Apple mastodon app doesn’t know #qoto ?
Adults don't understand that school isn't just jocks, nerds, and bullies anymore. It's an actual prison.
