ICC:
“We acknowledge that Hamas’ attacks against civilians are crimes too.”
Netanyahu and Hamas in unison:
“What do you mean, ‘crimes too’?”
Meanwhile, the slaughter goes on because nobody wants to risk open conflict with the US and they* have a raging hard-on for genocidal imperialism.
*Not all of them, of course, but enough are either complicit or at least complacent that it remains a tenable political position.
Fair point
The (ideal) most reasonable approach for public information organs, in my opinion, would be to use all the channels that are available - Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, but also X for the share of people that can’t be arsed to move (or don’t want to, because the people and communities they care about haven’t). I’d even count Facebook, Instagram, Reddit among those channels, as much as I resent those companies, as well as Lemmy and the other fediverse services (I’m not super informed here), a blog, RSS feeds, maybe an email subscription service too, just to be sure.
In fact, I think diversifying your presence would be a great thing in general - platform exclusivity is turning out to be a quite toxic and disadvantageous concept. Well, it has been for a while, but it’s starting to become more visible.
The real restriction is of course the technical infrastructure and personell to maintain all these presences. You could use of a content distribution system that takes a picture, a long text and a short summary to generate appropriate posts for all these platforms, but you’d still need people monitoring and responding on the various platforms, ideally people sufficiently familiar with the respective culture to communicate effectively.
Couldn’t you set an alert in your calendar tool of choice with the comment link in the notes or title?
If you put things in triple backticks ```, it’s formatted as a code block
Like this
I believe you can specify a language for syntax highlighting at the start of the code block.
SELECT *
FROM passwords
WHERE storage_method = 'plaintext'
-- TODO rename storage method to something less obvious so the IT-Sec guys get off my case
<p class="bold">Stop storing password in plain text, dammit</div>
<!-- TODO clean up the tags so the linter stops complaining -->
if (true) this.code.makeCringe(this.reader);
else
{
throw new NullPointerException("Unreachable code"); }
// Why, yes, I do love creating terrible code
I don’t know what or how it guesses the language otherwise.
if (highlighting == "Python"):
System.out.println("Wait, that's not a Python command");
std::cout << "Also not Python"
print("This one is")
CASE highlighting
WHEN 'SQL' THEN 'I dont know any dialect-specific ways to check which one this is'
WHEN 'sql' THEN 'Apparently its case-sensitive'
ELSE 'No clue'
END
(concatenate 'string "I can't be arsed to try everything I know" "So this will have to do")
That’s the permanent arms race between attack and defense: Every time the defender comes up with a way to protect themselves, the attackers go find a new way to deal with that defense. Unless some superior force makes the attackers sit down and shut up, or the cost of attacking becomes greater than the return on investment.
Much as we hate to admit it, Trump appears to have democratic legitimacy (for some definition of democracy). Unless you expect Biden to suddenly admit “The whole election apparatus is bullshit and undemocratic”, he has to accept the results and act according to his Democrat principles:
Bend over and spread wide.
GOSH I was just JOKING, fucking WOKE CANCEL CULTURE won’t even let me make a JOKE anymore, people are so SENSITIVE these days…
REEEE WHY IS THERE A BROWN PERSON IN MY GAME shitshitshit tell me there’s a whitewashing mod for this, I’m having a panic attack… sees a playable female protagonist mod, instantly dies
As a German, yes, please
ActiveSheet? Please no
When your own soldiers come back to attack you: “Stop hitting yourself”
As a thin veil of excuse, the DCRI incident involved what they considered military secrets rather than defamation charges. Still dumb to do that extrajudicially, of course.
The article on the lawsuit is blocked, which is standard procedure for participants of an ongoing lawsuit: Talk to your lawyer about it, and nobody else, because anything you say without your lawyer’s counsel might jeopardise your legal position. Even if it’s just people editing that article, the foundation will want to protect itself until the matter is settled.
Don’t forget that non-profits, too, are beholden to laws. If they want to continue offering their services in India, they don’t really want to be charged for contempt on top of the other case.
People here prefer the federation of Mastodon
Huh
Bloody hell, from making a joke to actual advice. Sleep quality might be the issue, because I’ve tried various sleep lengths, no caffeine, no hectic stimulation or all the other advice you’ll read online. I’ll have that checked out. Thanks for the tip!
I mean, if it’s a one-off thing, sure, but I’ll suddenly spent an hour of my afternoon fighting off mini-naps at work
Don’t worry. If he gets to power, he’ll take care of that.
I have occasional narcoleptic spells. I’ll just nod off for a few seconds at a time.
But I’m not running for president while pretending that I’m the healthiest person to ever have been healthy.
But the best people - all the best people - and these really are good people, you know? They’re good, the best, just wonderful people, and they say - I didn’t ask, they told me!
