To anyone else in the immersive web space who's gotten curious about the Fediverse after joining Mastodon, I'd encourage you to check out what the folks are doing over at Immers Space (web.immers.space/). @webxr

A lot of people are saying LGBT people are taking away other people rights but we aren’t the ones taking away your freedom to do what you want with your uterus #roevwade

@atomicpoet On the other hand, I wonder if Blue Sky will survive a Musk takeover of the company.

@atomicpoet I'd have to look into it. It might reawaken an earlier suspicion, from reading Mike Masnick and a few other sources, that this may possibly *not* be vaporware after all.

In my view, she is no more legitimizing the religious views of the SCOTUS than Bartolomé de las Casas, a Dominican friar, was in opposing the (similarly religiously couched) colonial abuse of native groups in the Spanish Empire.

Just because both groups here are using religion does not mean that they legitimize each other. In your friend's case, she uses religion as a moral guide; on the other hand, SCOTUS is using religion as a cudgel and a cloak.

OK who can help take Matt Mullenweg up on his offer to bring #Tumblr up to full #indieweb standards? cc: @humanetech

The makers of @pixelfed, the Fediverse photo sharing platform, have just created a slick new guide to the Fediverse at:

fediverse.info

It's got a list of Fedi projects, a list of mobile apps for Fedi platforms and an opt-in directory of people to follow.

The directory is particularly interesting as it works very differently to FediFollows or Trunk. You add hashtags to your profile plus a special extra hashtag #Fedi22, then submit your profile to the site, and it will become searchable for the tags in your profile.

(And, yes, Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, see here for details: mstdn.social/@feditips/1082159)

While I agree that religion itself is a net negative, and am an atheist myself, this ruling is entirely about subjugation and authoritarian impulses to establish control, with SCOTUS and the GOP using religion as a cover for their true motives, much like they are doing with their legal justifications in this decision. I doubt they care about their professed religion or its teachings any more than they care about interpreting the Constitution correctly.

Your friend may be Christian, but she is correct to oppose this ruling even if she is framing it in her mind in partially religious terms. It is a ruling without compassion, mercy, or understanding of the other person; a deeply unethical, and as your girlfriend would probably put it, deeply unchristian ruling. The fact that she uses a long dead Jew as a source of moral guidance is immaterial to the fact that she has correctly seen evil; indeed, it would not surprise me if her precise reasons match your own.

The issue of religion is one that cannot be settled quickly or forcefully, but must be correct over long stretches of time with subtle methods like debate, discussion, and inquiry. It is a subtle disease, and those who have it can be good as well as bad. The issue of authoritarianism, however, can and must be corrected swiftly. It is a virulent poison, and those who partake of it fall swiftly into evil and corruption.

When evil is advancing with fangs bared, claws outstretched, and bearing shackles of oppression ready to be slammed onto its victims, all good folk must put the subtle methods away and fight the encroaching evil in unision. Do not fault your friend for having religion, but be thankful that she can see through the façade of the court and see the same monster you see.

At first, the left-leaning government of #Spain seemed to be in serious danger of losing its majority in parliament when news came out about representatives from #Catalunya and the #BasqueCountry having been targeted by the #Pegasus #spyware.
Now it turns out that the current prime minister #PedroSanchez and his defense minister also had been targeted.
This needs to be investigated properly as Spain has never really purged the state from supporters of #Franco's #fascism. #alertafascista

Spain detects Pegasus spyware on PM, defence minister’s phones

Monday’s announcement followed intense pressure on the government to explain itself after digital rights group Citizen Lab said more than 60 people linked to the Catalan separatist movement had been targets of Pegasus.

The Israel-based NSO Group, which owns Pegasus, claims the software is only sold to governments to target criminals and terrorists, with the green light of Israeli authorities.

The major ISPs have nothing to fear from a deadlocked FCC, which is why they are investing so much dark money in preventing the confirmation of a 5th commissioner seat. Call your Senators and ask them to vote for Gigi Sohn.
