transphobia, newsie.social is still listed joinmastodon.org 

Does someone want to get newsie.social delisted from joinmastodon.org? Because I'm pretty sure their admin's recent acceptance of transphobia is against what is required to be listed there. After all, it got some instances delisted from there, too.

Meet the #rainboweucalyptus.

These #gums are unbeliebable.

When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.

The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.

Rainbow eucalyptus is the only eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.

It’s found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

And funny enough, it is not native to #Australia!

FediBlock rec 

context: github.com/sgrigson/oliphant/i

the user (aeris) who opened this GitHub issue seems likely to harass other blocklist maintainers in the same way (demanding their domain be removed, citing the GDPR, threatening legal action and action from their country's data protection authority).

(plenty of pile-on from other users in that thread whining about illegal censorship. might want to see if any of them can be identified as admins too…)

re: politics, prisons 

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt It's one of those rare cases where the trolley problem actually becomes relevant, it seems. "Well yeah, it kills 3 people, but *I* wasn't the one who flipped the switch"

new rule: if a ceo wants to take “full responsibility” for a layoff, they must contribute at least 1 month of their own compensation to the impacted employees for every percent of the company laid off — responsibility without consequences is meaningless and insulting

@theresnotime This does not seem to account for the accessibility issues I've seen mentioned in a few places, eg. how it deals with forced colors.

politics, prisons 

A life sentence without parole is not remotely a "humane alternative" for the death sentence. It's just a death sentence with a long period of torture preceding it. They'll never see the outside of a prison before their death ever again.

@savanni I think you can just pipe ffmpeg straight into an audio device? Otherwise I believe there is a way to run VLC headless

Capitalists understand collective action.

The current layoffs *are* collective action. They're collective action *by the Capitalists* to suppress wages/rights.

Vanuit Woonopstand zijn we nog steeds bezig met de afhandeling van het excessieve en gewelddadige politieoptreden tijdens onze demonstratie in Rotterdam op 17 oktober 2021. Burgemeester en meerderheid gemeenteraad wilden geen onafhankelijk onderzoek, maar wel een 'dialoog'. Wij willen nog steeds een behoorlijke verantwoording van de driehoek. Het gesprek wordt inmiddels voorbereid. Fijn dat ombudsman Reinier van Zutphen heeft toegezegd de gesprekken te willen begeleiden.

Hey just a smol reminder... Don't boost non-cw'ed screenshots of bad, hateful takes. It's not funny to me and I think I can speak for a lot of people who just don't want to see that on their feed.

I just unfollowed a couple of people because I'm seeing the same homophobic shit boosted multiple times and it's upsetting.

Thank you for understanding!

I have zero stake in the #OGL meta going around, but I'm reading through WotC's 1.2 draft right now and it still feels like a pretty raw deal.

In one point among many others: As a queer polyamorous trans person I can't afford to trust any corporation with the unilateral, unchallengeable right to terminate my license if I "engage in conduct that is... obscene," with their sole right to define that. There are CEOs today who define my existence as obscene.

@savanni So something like this already *sort of* exists (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech) but it's also kinda crusty, more like the mid-2000s definition of "slick".

It would be nice to have something slicker, and that doesn't fall over on half the audio files :)

re: food 

@schratze Thanks! Will give it a try some time soon :) Can *probably* figure out the German, I don't speak a word of it but can usually read it pretty well

re: food 

@schratze Wait, how does that work? Where do I find a recipe?
