Almeno da Qoto possiamo seguire chi ci pare da qualunque istanza, mentre nel resto del Fediverso ti servirebbe una mappa per districarti, per quanto è frammentato. Ah, ma molti neanche si rendono conto di essere ostaggi dei rispettivi admin e che esistono porzioni del Fediverso che non vedranno mai.
In più si potevano seguire gli hashtag prima che venisse rilasciato Mastodon 4.0 e abbiamo i boosts con citazione che Mastodon sta riconsiderando di introdurre vista la grande richiesta.

Primer AI.
In 2020, Primer AI became a contractor for U.S. Special Operations Command.
Primer AI claims it will develop the first AI platform to automatically identity suspected disinformation agents.
Sean Gourley, the founder, worked for the U.S. military creating AI systems to "track insurgency" in post invasion Iraq.
His focus is now on "domestic disinformation", so citizens of western countries. Sean Gourley asserts they must be a "Manhattan Project for truth". He suggests governments should create centralized, government controled, Wikipedia style databases, which will be updated by intelligence agencies to create baselines of truth.
Gourley claims that 2020 is the year that begins the "weaponization of the truth"

The trolley problem: your imagination versus the even sadder reality. (Just got this from a friend who also collects trolley problem variants.)
Please no, let people follow who they want. On most instances other than Qoto you can't follow specific people on liberal instances because of this defederation bullyism.
Just stand on the shoulders of giants and read liberal thinkers of the 1600/1700 like Voltaire.

I think the fediverse really needs to hear this:
Hate the sin.
Love the sinner.
This was extensively discussed in Marx's Das Kapital and even the two thousand years old Bible has monitions on this.
In particular, separation of powers principle has its roots in Plato and was discussed by Locke and Montesquieu.
But to the legislature, executive, a judiciary powers you need to add at least the informative (already known as the fourth power), the economic and the technological ones.
The problem is not that the politicians can be bought but that enough economic power is political power and today it is mainly carried out through the financing, and therefore the control, of the mass media. Not only news but also movies, books, TV series, shows and so on.
And when I say political I don't mean only parties, elections etc. For example medical research being privately funded will only develop profitable products, such as drugs that chronicize a disease and the development of those that cure permanently are discouraged.
Same with other scientific fields like the economic one, funding the absurd doctrines like the NeoClassical one while burying Keynes.
Not to mention cultural impoverishment, the promotion of ideologies such as social Darwinism, individualism, materialism, nihilism, positivism, scientism: all functional to the preservation of power and the control of the masses.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
A randomized controlled trial involving 102 patients with IBS showed that those who were randomized into the physical activity group had significantly fewer symptoms compared with the control group.[1]

Statin Drugs Ineffectual
Statins (cholesterol meds) were not associated with a reduced risk of heart disease or death from any cause in healthy people over age 75, the study found.

Viruses are known as notorious killers, but to some organisms, they’re a tasty snack. This virus-eating could have a meaningful effect on how nutrients and energy flow through ecosystems. https://www.quantamagazine.org/with-nothing-to-eat-except-viruses-some-microbes-thrive-20230221/

Another day, another miracle:
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered an entire new class of synthetic antibiotics - these compounds do not invoke bacterial resistance! If proven, is absolutely some of the most important medical work of our time.

Do you know it first hand like I know most climate activists are not vegan or is this something you heard somewhere? In my experience, AGW skeptics have no conflict of interest just like me.
Let me point out that AGW is decades old; for many years vegan people tried to stress the huge impact of animal farming on greenhouse gas emissions, only recently some climate activists started to promote a plant-based diet and that happened because there was real evidence.
Instead there is no evidence for AGW itself, this is why many people don't accept it and the way climate activists argue, full of scientism and positivism ideologies, won't convince them.
Don't bring in the fossil fuel industry to hide the inadequacy of climate activists.
#NZPol #ClimateChange
There is no mountain of evidence and you just said you are believing to someone else and in particular to an abstract idea of scientific community. This is an ideology called positivism. I do science instead and check by myself.
About doing something good anyway: sorry but it's just rhetoric; you don't know if every measure taken in the name of reducing CO2 emissions has no bad side effects.
Anyway, of course you are vegan, right?
#NZPol #ClimateChange
I am sorry but she is right, no one has produced that evidence.
Please don't call me ignorant, right-wing or something else. I am vegan for ethical reasons (while most so called climate activists are not despite how bad animal farming is in term of emissions) and I know enough about physics and dynamic systems not to be convinced at all.
For more than a decade I asked to so called climate activists to convince me but they are only able to say "science says so", "check IPCC reports" (that they have not read) and so on.
