If your platform bans consenting adults posting pictures of their own bodies and their interactions with other consenting adults bodies but does not ban Nazis, you can't tell me that you don't censor content. You do censor content, you're just okay with Nazis.

Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building a $100 million compound in Hawaii — which includes more than a dozen buildings with 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms in total. It also includes a a huge underground bunker.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

I remember my early computer simulation teachers explained about "garbage in, garbage out" models and I think, beneath the hype and the marketing this fits most of the supposed AI I've tried.

thank you @Tutanota 🤗 for your service and sponsoring @Tusky too

How brainwashed, and let's face it, stupid, do you have to be to think refugees are the problem when, say, your energy provider puts their prices up by 400% pushing you into debt and pursuing you through the courts?
Thanks #Eon #EonScumbags

More than 100 Palestinian journalists and cameramen have been killed in Gaza in less than three months. Journalists are classed as civilians by the Geneva Conventions and are to be protected in times of war. The Israeli state and it's military are deliberately targeting journalists in Gaza and the killing is being enabled by Israel's allies.

Trump's presidency was -- by far -- the most corrupt in at least a century. If he gets back in, the corruption will be infinitely worse. We'll be living in what is accurately called a dictatorial "Mafia state".

This isn't speculation. It's simple reality.

I should note that not even one journalism organization even attempted to keep detailed track of the breadth and depth of the corruption in Trump's circle.

Why expect better now?

New measurements show that about 10% of the aerosol particles in the stratosphere contain aluminium and other metals that originated from satellite re-entry, but their environmental impacts are not well understood.

@Barrikoi1 I have donated to the MSF in the past. I should again. I have a good friend who worked with them in Africa for a long time. Incredible people work for that organization (including her). Thank you for supporting them.

Adblockers are legal, German courts ruled. Their argument: users not only have the right to receive information but also to refuse it.
That sounds about right. It'd be positively dystopian if companies can claim the right to force-feed information. A win for internet user freedom :).
One of the downsides of the ruling is that a company can exclude users with an activated adblocker from accessing its website.
@fsfe wrote an interesting article about the case

☣️ Posted today: Video overview of massive moderation failure across all #Meta networks filled with criminal activity and abuse.

Yet somehow countless #MastoAdmin folks still think we need to "give them the benefit of the doubt" and "wait and see".

We have seen more than enough abuse to exclude them. For nearly two decades.
