Men understand consent.

If you agree to a boxing match and your opponent continues to hit you after the bell, that's assault.

If you agree to a boxing match and your opponent suddenly whips out a gun, that's assault.

If you agree to a boxing match and your opponent and six of his buddies all climb in the ring together, that's assault.

If you agree to a boxing match and your opponent drugs you and hits you after you pass out, that's assault.

So let's stop pretending like men have no idea where the line is between consent and assault. They know. They just don't care.

@barbra An alternate DNS root only helps to the extent that anyone uses it. Since few people use those, it's unlikely to help much. And the challenges are far wider than just losing DNS names: A/I will lose bank accounts, hosting space, and most other services provided by businesses at risk from US secondary sanctions on those doing business with A/I.

When it comes to the shutdown of Autistici/Inventati we really should reserve most of our anger for our leaders right here in Europe. They allowed this to happen.

Sure, the US government is beyond evil and before that, optimistically, merely problematic. But they only hold this power over Europe and European companies, initiatives and whatnot because we've allowed for it. That's on us.

The shutdown of A/I saddens me but it is also the only reasonable choice they had and they should be commended not wanting to cause harm to their users.

Europe needs to do better. Today. There's absolutely no reason for us to be in this embarrassingly submissive position.

I think this perspective is the problem. We should reserve most of our anger for *ourselves*. We keep on speaking about "leaders" and "governments", continuously forgetting that in a democracy WE, THE PEOPLE, ARE THE GOVERNMENT. We don't have "leaders": we have government – our – representatives.

We keep behaving like 10-year-old kids who wait for some mummy or daddy to do something and tell us what to do, instead of adults who understand that unless *we* do something, nobody else will.

We wish so much for a daddy to lead us? OK, no worries, a daddy will surely come to take the burden of responsibility and government from us. The we can simply follow and obey daddy.

And that's what we deserve; that's our choice.

@pglpm You're not fully wrong and you can find plenty of posts where I talk about 'we' instead of just our leaders, but...

Our leaders keep claiming to do one thing and then do another. Whether is when they're campaigning or while in office. Most of them can't be trusted and this is nothing new but at the same time I struggle to judge people for trusting a politician to keep their word, especially as most people just don't have the time to constantly engage with politics.

Many if not most people are also being manipulated into voting one way or the other, believing things will be better. People are responsible themselves for their actions but they also lack the education and live in a media ecosphere that is not regulated. Both are things politics needs to solve.

This is a downward spiral that becomes increasingly difficult to handle and, frankly, is at a point where it may well bring society to collapse.

The situation is not as black-and-white as you portray it and requires a much larger context.

Pay me UBI and maybe I can finish one of my ambitious adhd projects within the next few years instead of the next decade.

Part of my job is taking old research code and trying to turn it into something more production-ready. A lot of that job is optimizing, but also removing a whole bunch of accidental complexity. The original author often didn't know what the solution looked like when they started.

But since the new code had to exist alongside the original code, I had to copy and paste a lot. So ... a whole bunch of naming-things-is-hard instances popped out. FooWidget often became SimpleFooWidget, for lack any more prominent property to describe.

In hindsight, it was a terrible naming scheme. I guess I was only into the S, not the M. :blobcatgooglyshrug:

If hosting gay porn makes the Fediverse unpalatable to capital & media, I feel that it should be mandatory for all instances to so host.

If an instance doesn’t have gay porn in their public feeds, I’m requesting that they get a better user base.

It’s wild and depressing that in the space of 20 years, we went from:

“I can now share my furry fanfic or my penis puppetry show with the entire world without worrying about any government or tv channel censoring or gatekeeping me out.”

To:

“I can’t spell the word s*x, or anything a 1960s Mormon housewife might object to, must keep my no-genocide politics on the down low, and constantly beg technofascist corps to let people read what I write”

heat stroke victims may be confused or incapable of seeking or reaching help, so be prepared to render first aid and find help for them. Get them to shelter or shade, lie them down in a cool / low a place as possible (hot air rises) and help them hydrate. A cold bath or shower can help lower core temp quickly. Keep their skin wet and prioritize cooling their head, neck, armpits, and groin with water, ice, cold packs, damp towels, anything available.

Austria-Hungary had a complex internal structure. The head of state was Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary at the same time, or "Kaiser und König" in German. This was often abbreviated as "K. u. K." when talking about institutions that applied to both Austria and Hungary.

So, technically, it would not be wholly inaccurate to describe the Austro-Hungarian throne as "the K. u. K. chair"

Can we please all stop the "newcomers to Mastodon should visit this and that site, follow these rules" etc? Social networks evolve. Trying to control the behaviour of newcomers is condescending and counterproductive in my opinion. I don't want the Fediverse to become a walled garden. #UnpopularOpinion, maybe. So be it.

@aj We apparently have a choice: an eternal-September big-bang where the unassimilated normies become the majority and the culture becomes thoughtless Facebook boomer culture, or keeping the HOA strong and absolutely insisting that everyone who joins watches the viewing list of Star Trek episodes before posting and puts a CW on photos of pet eye contact in case anyone finds that traumatising.
