@4WPub "I have a “Non-Crime-Hate-Incident” (NCHI) recorded against me by Avon & Somerset Police, [...]" what kind of dystopian shit is that?! either it's a crime or it isn't.

Should Political Cartoonists Ever Self-Censor?

From Islam to gender identity, it turns out some topics are off-limits for political cartoonists. Last year, The Morning Star’s @ArtistBristol was cancelled for one of her own cartoons. Now, she’s questioning the entire culture of self-censorship in media, and who satirists are allowed to criticize.

@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org maybe you should change your DE then ;)

@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org you have the wrong view: gnome is perfect, everything else hasn't arrived in the future (according to our red hat overlords) yet ;)

@kushchan they are biting you for the mosquito babies!

but yes, they can be a real plague :) on the other hand, you have a reason to get a mosquito net. really cozy, imo ;)

@kushchan yeah, only homo sapiens can knowingly destroy it's habitat and doesn't stop ;)

@skells @FailForward

as german:

> It's a cliché but they do take rules quite seriously without the ability to "play" with them quite like the French do (or ignore them like the British.)

i'm pissed if i consider rules to be bullshit, on the other hand i value rules very much and am _really_ pissed if someone doesn't adhere to them, especially if those actions bother/harm others, like littering. i have a soft spot in my heart though for creative use (in the classical hacker sense) of rules.

> a German may become either deeply conflicted or unreasonably dogmatic about it - you'd probably never see it though, just someone steadfastly doing it "their own way."

yes, and it's fucking exausting. i can't just do things if it is against my values. that said, i have heard that i'm rather extreme in this. i can't stand for example doing work which is obvious bullshit, it really drives me mad, while others seem to have no problem doing it for the money.

Here is my own contribution to the #RMS debate, about the open letter and #fsf and so on.

Comment on the open letter to "remove RMS", based on the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines

This is not another escalation, it's something else. It's about how we communicate. I thought a lot about it. Hopefully this can reach some of the people who signed the open letter.

Boosts welcome.

@kushchan :/ maybe catnip tea could help, but i'm just a rando from the internet who has spend too much time on erowid.org ;)

what helps with panic is counting random numbers, it occupies your brain.

@kushchan chamomille tea acts on gaba receptors, it might help. don't expect wonders though ;)

Would you imagine in 2019 that we will have to deal with such fucking Chinese-totalitarian ideas here in the EU?

And no, the fact that you have to vaccinate is not a problem. The problem is the centralized system of such sensitive data and the social credit style surveillance that comes with it.

And really, if you think that such surveillance is good, because of safety – you are a virus much more dangerous than SARS-CoV-2 – the virus on human privacy and human dignity.

@thor i think there is good traditionalism which acknowledges the gender differences but doesn't say one is better than the other. one could even argue that women are considered worth more than men as they have the ability to create life.

then there is the "women are inferior" bullshit, the same as there is the current "men are evil" bullshit some people peddle.

tl;dr: assholes will be assholes, regardless of gender or how they live their life.

tinfoil? 

i watched a michael yeadon interview. i don't get how the guy get's called anti vaxxer. in the interview he points out that

a) we should test new technologies thoroughly before we roll them out
b) vaccinating non-risk groups while the vaccines aren't really tested for long term effects is a bad tradeoff
c) the electronic vaccine passports are a bad idea for societies
d) the "classic" vaccines (dead pathogens) are proven and good technology

the part where he talks about the "topping up" vaccines maybe getting misused in the future sure _feels_ tinfoily. this doesn't make his other statements false though.

sidenote: it's kind of unsettling that i have to go to non-mainstream video platforms to watch it.
