@Pia Danke! 🙏
Wir haben für CeMAS eine bevölkerungsrepräsentative Umfrage durchgeführt, um besser zu verstehen, wie stark sich Verschwörungserzählungen rund um den russischen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine in der Gesellschaft verbreitet haben. Das Research Paper mit den Ergebnissen haben wir heute veröffentlicht.
I'm a #European #federalist (who used to be young, too).
*What does it mean?*
1.) I believe that #Europe can only overcome it's violence ridden past (internally as well as externally - yeah, I'm looking at you, #colonialism) if it is united in a shared framework of positive values: #democracy, human rights, social rights (yes, #socialism is actually a good thing, but so is #emancipation), #ecology, #participation. None of these are European per se and should not be viewed as such. They can very much be universal but don't claim to be complete or in any way exclusive. But they are an important part of European history. I identify a lot with the European Union as the implementation of much of this framework. But it clearly has biiiiig flaws and can not stay the way it is. I'm aware that "Europe" is just as arbitrary in its boundaries as are nation states. So, what makes Europe Europe is the deliberate, free choice to work together and integrate. Oh, and clearly and objectively the best #food on the planet (fight me).
2.) I believe that political systems are never monolithic. They need to tackle both the most mundane and smallest, and the biggest and most complicated topics. This, in my opinion, is best done by putting topics on appropriate levels. While you should put one as low and hence local as possible, you should put it high enough that it can be tackled effectively. Many topics won't fit on a single level. And while you may find a configuration that suits you at a time, this may become obsolete. #Federalism means you #unite in #diversity and try to keep things local and approachable wherever possible. You move the big things up where you have the collective power to do good. And as such it is constantly evolving and intrinsically complicated (that's an objective downside that I think we should be willing to accept).
And that's that. I encourage everyone to #federalise (or to "Fed up!", I guess 😅) and to consider why this could and should work on a global level to (yes, world #federalism is a thing).
Quick Transfer Functions with SymPy
SymPy allows quick and (relatively 😜) easy manipulation of algebraic expressions. But it can do so much more! Using the sympy.physics.control toolbox, you can very inspect linear time-invariant systems in a very comfortable way.
I was looking at a paper (Janiszowski, 1993) which features three transfer functions of different properties and wanted to look at their po

🤯 Wow, this is insane.
I hoped that since my physics course in school (3 out of 17, I think, were women) things had changed and that maybe Germany sucked particularly badly at this, but I guess I was wrong.
For what comes after school, I can say with confidence that large parts of the repelling effect at least my discipline (electrical engineering) has on women is deeply anchored within and has a lot to do with behaviour and structures that are in no way questioned.
"Oh, we expect the engineer for that job to work 40h a week." - Part time? - "Nah! Too much to do!"
"Did you actually have no women applying?" - "Yes, we had a few." - "Why were all rejected?" - "I can't really tell you..."
I once got told in a literally 100% men company, that "women don't really fit here". I mean, duh, if I was the only man amongst thirty women I might think I don't belong there. But I might not. So who are they to decide that?
@FediFollows
That's cool, thanks!

@FediFollows
You are absolutely right, I completely missed the non-binary aspect. Not sure if it's just my impression, but many seem to not disclose gender at all (which I fear I've seen examples of reasons for that happening, so it's not just anybody's choice but probably a measure of caution).
Anyway, it seems there is currently quite a bias towards men in many posts (I noticed that in paticular with CGI, game.dev and programming). This may reflect the distribution of users. But I wanted to share my approach, because I think it made a difference.
Hey @FediFollows!
I like your posts, it helped me a lot to find my way around the #FediVerse.
But I've got a metric: I try to follow about as many womes as I follow men on social media, so I stay balanced on topics and issues (I'm an engineer, and well that balance is waaay off there and you can tell by behaviour and topics).
On the birdsite it was already pretty difficult to keep balance, but in the #FediVerse so far I fail miserably.
So, here's my request: could you make a thread where you feature interesting feeds by women? Poltics, engineering, arts, science, shitposting, you name it. I think it would up the conversation a lot!
Hey, do you speak German?
There is an account called Mast-O-Help which is giving advice on using Mastodon in German:

Check them out!
@trinsec
I think that's their recipe for success. Anyone can do explainer videos. They do them stylish and, yeah, in this case rather uuuurgh.
@rastinza
Thank you very much! I wasn't seeing the forest for all the trees.
Aaaaaaahhhhrggggg!
So far found only one very annoying thing about #FediLab: it's opening links in-app and I don't seem to find where this can be turned off.
@SuricrasiaOnline You mean `htop`?
Always had it from F-Droid.
Today I used it to generate an SSH tunnel from my mobile phone through a Linux server onto my work PC. Nerdy and neat.
Fire up Termux.
