@Fayedray So how is this sort of thing handled in schools. Surely kids want to talk about it, should this not lead to debates / discussions on guns, mental health etc.

@Fayedray

I think the US is possibly desensitised to all this carnage now.

Measles seems to be on the rise in the UK as well as various conditions relating to the virus that causes chickenpox.

At one time, children who had chikenpox were exposed to each other so everyone got it at the same time and as a result built up immunity.

This is all the reason we should teach science in schools and tell kids they can decide for them selves after being presented with science based facts, which they should base their own arguments on.

The European Gregorian New Year is too close to Christmas so I propose we embrace East Asia's New Year instead

Happy Lunar New Year Everyone 😀

@vaweisman @Jaden2 Here's another memory: House hunting with my parents in Orange County circa 1970 (years after federal and state civil rights laws were enacted), I remember a real estate agent matter-of-factly describing all the various tricks and lies he used to keep Black people from moving into white neighborhoods.

Data liberation is the act of reconquering data held hostage by big tech. By copying them, reprocessing them, and making them accessible through the #fediverse. This is aimed at breaking their monopoly, and is an example of adversarial #interoperability.

I'm looking for help: we don't have a development team yet, but you can test a working prototype.

If anyone feel to contribute, in any capacity and skills, please reach out or spread the word!

@kllewellin

Congrats, and you're a fellow OU student too, great stuff, onwards and upwards. as they say.

@somegirlprivacy@geekdom.social

Indeed, lets hope it does not spread too much over there now.

@angusm @pluralistic so in the physical world, fungi prevent the literal enshittification of everything. Where are the fungi of techno-finance?

@HeidiArjes

In the meantime will boost for reach, hope you find the right person.

@elliebgomersall

So far the argument in Westminster is this bill will interfere with the equality laws, but that is it. So very little attempt to back that up with examples, evidence etc.

The equality act is dated 2010, surely it is time for that to be updated to reflect live in 2023. 13 years is a LONG time.

"I’m tired of my identity being used as a political football. While the bill will have no effect on most of the population, it will make the lives of trans people like me that little bit easier."

@Mrfunkedude

I don't but others seem to be. I prefer to be able to listen to the sounds of my environment, the sound of birds is great for example.

You ever walk around for hours with your earbuds in, not listening to anything. You just forgot they were there and went on with your life?

Is that just me?

@hauntedhideaway no one understands this and that is because they imagine that they would simply “do the right thing” and take any amount of punishment.
