I'm posting this graph by Eliot Jacobson here because I think it's truly remarkable how strong this outlier is growing to be.

It means that #sea temperatures are extremely unusually higher than normal, and the departure from the historical record is almost off the charts. #climatechange #heat

The effects? I couldn't tell you, but I do get the idea that it won't be very pleasant

AI Art Copyright Class Action hearing: Judge Orrick's tentative is to dismiss almost all of the claims against Stability AI, Midjourney and DeviantArt with leave to amend. Seems skeptical that Stable Diffusion plausibly incorporates the plaintiffs' works given how small the model is vs the 5B images it was trained on.

After 8 months working on Mastodon, in particular on infrastructure for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, I have been able to articulate my vision for the future of Trust & Safery for Mastodon : https://renchap.com/blog/post/evolving_mastodon_trust_and_safety/

We need better tools to go along the growth of the Fediverse, and they need to enable multiple instances to work together on those topics and keep our loved network safe for everyone!

"It may seem positive that Islam is being discussed by former detractors beyond the prisms of #extremism and #terrorism, but this exchange is part of a growing trend of something more ominous that involves #ideological borrowing in both directions.

The language of the #incel “red pill” #movement has been translated into Arabic, and its #terminology can be found in Arabic #chat rooms and on other #websites.

Conversely, conservative #male pundits in the West are hosting #Muslim voices on their #podcasts and #shows.

And while these #groups have historically been at loggerheads, the overlaps in their values are also clear in their opposition to #feminism and the #antisemitism that is rife in both #communities."

My message for #GlobalEncryptionDay... for every entity interested in #surveillance:
I will resist and it's my human right.
Encryption is not for bad actors only, it protects innocent people every day.
We are not criminals.

#privacy #encryption

Sometimes people ask me how inconvenient is being a #privacy paranoid and avoiding spying corporate services. And of course they say they couldn't do the same, because they want convenience and everything Just Working™.
So for me being #corpfree isn't inconvenient itself. I don't even feel this. I didn't even feel it when I fully finished #degoogling.
But using #encryption is something I feel, when I have to repeat every step every time to access my stuff. And MFA - with not storing cookies and browser history it is real pain in the a**

When 24 Farban executives were tried at #Nuremberg for the slaughter at Monowitz, then argued that they had no choice but to pursue slave labor - it was their duty to their shareholders. The judges agreed: 19 of those executives walked.

Anticommunism hamstrung denazification. There was no question that German elites and its largest businesses were complicit in Nazi crimes - not mere suppliers, but active collaborators.

Recall that in the USA, the bizarre epithet #PrematureAntifascist was used to condemn Americans who opposed Nazism (and fascism elsewhere in Europe) too *soon*, because these antifascists opposed the authoritarian politics of big business in America, too:

Farben broke the historical orthodoxy about slavery: until Monowitz, historians widely believed that enslavers would - at the very least - seek to maintain the health of their slaves, simply as a matter of economic efficiency. But the Reich's rock-bottom rates for fresh slaves liberated Farben from the need to preserve their slaves' ability to work.

Can we just replace "influencer" with "internet dipshit" for clarity's sake?

I think Abe was right.

Bee balm is one of the biggest attractions for pollinators in my garden.

Flower-like conidial heads of an LPCB-stained fungal strain (#Aspergillus?)

A hike in search of #wildflowers, so I may have gone a little overboard showing them. However, I was looking for one specific flower and none of them are it! The search comes with a nice peak.
