The situation in North Gaza is beyond catastrophic.
Entire neighborhoods are being wiped off the map — home by home, street by street.
People have no electricity, no clean water, no food.
Displaced families are sleeping on rubble. Children cry from hunger. Disease is spreading.
There are no hospitals left. No aid. No safe zones.

Hello Fediverse I want to make a short announcement about the social.trom.tf Friendica instance run by my friend @tio
Currently that instance is going through a big server migration process and it will take a couple of hours for it to get finished. So if you mention or send anyone messages during this time it might not reach them.

Let's see if releasing this on labor day weekend was a good idea...

Genuine question:
If I hosted my own private analytics tracker (something like Matomo (née Piwik), e.g.) just so I could have funny numbers to look at because I like to look at numbers but do nothing meaningful with them, would that require a cookie banner?
I'd pondered about just having a static notice in the footer of my site that just says "This site uses some functional cookies and one (1) tracking cookie for a self-hosted analytics dashboard because I like to look at Numbers™."
"If you have a cubsona/kidsona then you're sexualizing a child"
Ah, the sweet sounds of projection.
I’ve heard that general sentiment before and it never made sense to me. Like even people who use their cub/kidsona in spicy art, like… they’re kidualizing themselves, an adult sexual being. The character is still representative of an adult at the end of the day.
No kids are hurt by an adult playing pretend by themselves or with other consenting adults so the best time to give a fuck about what age their self-representation looks to be is never.

Eurostar security is great, the pulled my bag aside and opened it. - “What’s in this toiletry bag?”
- “My toiletries”
Agent then found my Lovense plugs. Spent a good amount of time trying to put them back into their drawstring bag while I stared at them impatiently. 😼
Then they got to my Densha de Go Shinkansen controller, looked lost for a bit, then waved me though. 😸

The image features a social media post with a black background and white text. The post is from a user named "katepaintspaws" and is timestamped "1d" (one day ago). The text discusses the number of migrants in hotels awaiting asylum decisions in the U.K., stating there are approximately 32,000. It then compares this number to the capacity of Wembley Stadium, suggesting that a third of the stadium's 90,000 seats would be equivalent to the number of migrants. The post criticizes the use of this comparison by groups like Reform UK Ltd to influence public opinion. The background of the post includes a fiery image, possibly symbolizing unrest or conflict. The bottom right corner of the image has a watermark with the letter "X" inside a circle.

I think the real Nazis don't like being associated with strong, independent women LOL
UBI is unconditional and universal. We can build support for it by removing work requirements from any existing program and/or making any existing program universal and paired with higher taxes on those with higher incomes. When it comes to amount, I'd like to see any unconditional universal amount. #UBI

Interesting point. 😃
However I do think attacking dead people won’t solve any problems associated with the other 2 mentioned.

My mom taught me that people are poor because they were too lazy to help themselves get a job. To give them money would just let them not have to work, and they would go buy beer with it.
Now that I am poor due to being disabled, I know the truth. I am poor because I did not get the help I needed.
Independant human, a lie. We all still need help. Sometimes people need the help because they CANT do the things to get out of poverty.
Some of us cant work, because there are no jobs they can do.

I've started doing a bit of streaming over on Joystick. Not worked out a steady schedule yet, just playing a few games when it feels like a good time.

This is the perfect example of why in this trade-based society things get fucked. Because people are focused on trading, making a profit. And these idiots did just that. Cut corners, then cut their lives short and of those who paid for their scam.
Tragic. But a very important example of how #TradeRuinsEverything

Most of what governments have done in the UK since Thatcher have been huge overreach.
We live in times where disagreeing with the government is sufficient to be branded a terrorist.

Also what a wild thing to just randomly say to someone in line at the vet clinic on a Monday morning? Hey your whole life is a lie, your amputation you've had since your a baby was just part of a conspiracy. K'ay bye!

I’m still like deer-in-the-headlights frozen since a colleague earlier this week just casually threw into a discussion about a complex, consequential, and costly legal question “well I checked on ChatGPT and it said…” as though that was some kind of mic drop.
I just wasn’t prepared for this. My jaw was on the floor.
Spoiler alert: ChatGPT was 100% wrong, like exactly the inverse of the true fact, of the complex, consequential, and costly legal question. A yes/no question where the answer was ‘no’ and ChatGPT said ‘yes’.
I bet they’ll keep using it though 🤷🏼♂️
