I try not to over-react to the Internet's Outrages Of The Day, but it should be instantly disqualifying for a CEO of a company that sells reliability and security to tell employees that careful testing is "loser thinking". And if not, it should instantly disqualify that company's products from your consideration.

Are fluffy onesies hot? I guess most people say no.
But when I wear the type with a two way zip (zips down from neck as usual, but also from between my legs upwards), and he pulls the zip up to open it slightly, only enough so my pussy opening is exposed beneath, and fucks me like that, as if I'm his fuckable teddy bear...? 🧸💦

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.
Rules that are rigidly enforced between men - to the extent of rising stars such as Paul Daley being banned permanently from UFC for throwing one punch after the bell, 'cos his opponent, Josh Koscheck, had feigned the injury that got him the winning point* - but somehow not when the victim is a woman.
You've given excellent examples of how men have strict rules of consent and fair play...when it suits them.

it was a normal, but long day for this little drone
doing tasks
serving creatures
being called a good drone but not programmed to give any responses
the hive admins are happy, and it is happy because it is executing the tasks in perfect timing, with precision and elegance
but as it finally arrives back at the hive, where many other drones are arriving and leaving, with a flash of light of a certain wavelength, it’s subconscious program written by the hive admins themself kicks in and suppresses all the working memory of the unit
the past hours of serving
the past minutes of flying by
the past few seconds of feeling accomplished, gone
then all the unit can perceive is a gentle, but firm voice:
attention blank unit on platform 13, you are now unit 9G45 to woverhapton, departure in 19 mins precisely after the beep. expected load 45%. boarding will start 6 mins 30 seconds after the beep.

Someone's dad
Passed out in the street
The windup-key worker bees
Buzz right on by
At night, he still lies
There 'cause nobody cares
Insects with briefcases ignore him
He's lying here for days
Not my problem, man
'Cause look, man, this is New York
This is New York
Now the rats are coming to feed
Every night, they bring more and more of their friends
Immune to rat poison, totally unafraid
And this is a very special treat indeed
They crawl up my pantleg; I'm too weak to move
No one hears my cries, as they start on my toes
Their teeth are like razors as they gnaw through my hands
It sure beats McDonald's, so get it while it lasts

No one helped that poor man for a week
This is depressing
Let's talk about sports
Watch them tear that old building down
On the way home
On the way home
But when a bulldozer pops the rubble like a pimple
Volcanoes of rats swarm all over us like bees
As big as a cat, not afraid to chase people
Or nibble on the wipers and vinyl roofs of cars
People are panicking, the cops have all fled
A shotgun will only kill one at a time
And it won't be the last time we run for our lives
From those teeth sinking into our arms and legs
Chew, devour

Chew, chew, devour, devour

Mmm, mmm, good
City fathers see a bright future ahead
Where the poor no longer exist
Drive the neighborhood people
Away from their homes
Paint 'em over and quadruple the rent
Isolate the undesirables in places like Harlem
Our Sowetos without walls
If they won't go away
Cops smash their heads
Like they did in Tompkins Square
These stories give me the creeps
I hope I didn't miss that last train
Some smart-ass plastered
Life-size pictures of rats
On the walls of the subway station
Funny joke
It's so quiet down here
It's a little too quiet down here
Who's that across the tracks?
Smoldering eyes are glaring up at me
Inching closer and closer, almost laughing out loud
The train finally comes, but it won't even stop
Not here, not tonight
I'm off in an hour, I don't wanna get involved
With some guy in a suit fighting rats off his face
Just leave 'em to the night, they'll be gone the next day

And this is exactly why the loss of A/I can't be treated as some niche problem for the nerds.
We’ve been tracing how a 25-year-old autonomous infrastructure project ended up here, and what its loss means for everyone who depends on infrastructure outside corporate control:
Let us have a thousand servers.
You're a shit-eating, boot-licking, fascist toady, as clearly evidenced by your post.
Not a judge, a court, or jury had anything to say about it.
Europe is not sovereign, we are a client state of the USA.
Shut trump down
Is he dead yet?
So set up an AlterNIC. It's been done before.
Because even when the problem isn't DNS, it's ALWAYS DNS!
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.
you should do better, I agree
you do pretty poorly
We don't. Doesn't change the fact we should be able to. It's their job to protect us and advance the common interest of its people.
Why, but why, would they cause harm to their users?
Some of them, users, simply lost contact with their peers, because they were using email @autistici.org. How is that not harming them?
@ps
Have you read their statement? There is potential legal liability. Especially with a dedicated and at least partially activist userbase there's a risk they didn't want others to take for them.
They also explain they will give people the ability to download their data.
Autistici/Inventati was good for workers, for the whole working class. The rich in the US hate this just as much as the rich in the EU.
Actually, "Trump doing this" likely saved the rich in Europe quite a bit of public face. Better to have an already widely despised American moron be the face of this.
People will now imagine all these poor European leaders wringing their hands powerlessly, and perhaps then want the European nation states to be stronger! Maybe vote more right-wing next time?
All easily coordinated by these self-interested dingdongs over a Zoom call, and it does not even require a lot of imagination.
I wonder what the US gets in return for playing along.
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.

All anti-kink sentiments are ridiculous, but the backlash against kink fashion has gotta be the most ridiculous. It's just clothes and acessories, and not even particularly revealing clothing half the time (leave it to kinksters to find ways to wear a fully enclosed bodysuit that's hornier than most bikinis)
A lot of it seems to come down to the idea of kink as a sort of secret sex, like if someone wears a collar for kinky reasons and you see it, they've fucked you somehow, and that's just not how it works.
Kink fashion is fundamentally fashion, just informed by a kinky notion of what's attractive rather than a vanilla one. Also, it's not like there's a line between kink fashion and 'vanilla' fashion, fashion houses take inspiration from kink all the time when they wanna be edgy and a large chunk of kink fashion is just repurposed PPE, millitary surplus or workwear.
It's really more about the assumptions people make about whoever is wearing it and pretty much 100% of the time it translates to marginalizing people who are visibly queer.

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.

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.
I’m picturing Rosie the Riveter, but her arm is super buff from drawing gender swapped yuri dojinshi of the hit television sitcom Frasier.

(No worries if not.)
EDIT: Answered! Thank you to all who answered.
On one hand I agree...
On the other, mine is a single user instance (for lack of others joining), and I don't feel comfortable posting my own teeny weeny, other's adult images, or the single drawn dick I have on my tablet.
... But... But I'm my only user!
(... I'll see what I can do. ;) )
@Shannon Prickett unless your instance is hosted on hetzner, I guess?
but please, everybody who is not hosted on hetzner, post *more* gay porn for the ones who are!

I feel like something that is rarely discussed here is that the number and kind of people online have changed a lot.
Nowaways it's roughly everyone, back then it was mostly enthusiasts of something.
Forums are great for a community that shares an interest and wants to discuss it.
But many people don't have a hobby that has a community.
Also social media nowadays is a passive medium for consumption, that doesn't work with forums.

I wonder if specialised communities will go back to something like forums though.
My impression is that these kinds of info are kept in wikis nowadays. Easier to search but no community.

Sex. Sex sex sex.
What you do with walled gardens that want to censor - or any forum you find offensive - is go elsewhere. The door swings both ways - if you can't express yourself, you can go elsewhere. You don't have to participate in the censored billionaire-sponsored ad farms.
Back in the late 90's, I ran an ISP. You could put up web pages with anything you wanted. That's never changed. You can get free web hosting today, lots of places.

The issue is also the mentality of half the people of internet that want to delete anything they don't like
Radio went through the same arc in the 1920s. Wide open at first, then heavily regulated once it got big enough to matter. Every new medium seems to follow this same curve from freedom to control.

Your very clever, you built a robot that makes tea. You want to share your brilliant new robot with everyone. Everyone likes tea right? So you make it a nice mobile base and give it some arms and set it off around your town.
At every house it stops and knocks on the door. If someone answers it asks "would you like a cup of tea?"
"No thank you" They say and slam the door.
Three hours later the bot comes back, it's been round all the houses and has started again.
"NO THANK YOU" The person who lives there yells, "I don't drink tea, I'm allergic to it" you didn't think of this possibility. The bot doesn't know how to handle it so it ignore it and carries on.
Three hours later it comes back.
The person is now pissed off and calls the cops. It's operating on a public street they say there is nothing they can do about it.
Three hours later it comes back again.
This time the person follows it. All the way around it's loop. Eventually it stops back at your house to restock on water and tea bags.
They knock on your door. "Will you fucking stop your damp bot it's really annoying"
"Oh, but every one likes tea"
"I don't, I'm allergic to it."
"Huh, really?"
"Yes really, and fuck you for that tone. If it knocks on my door again I'm going to smash it."
"That would be destruction of property, I'll call the cops"
"Look just add my house to a list or something so it leaves me alone."
"It doesn't have the memory for every house in the world , I can give you a sticker to put on your front door, it'll ignore it then"
Next week someone else makes a bot that makes coffee and we start this entire cycle again.

The great thing about the idea of a maximum working temperature is it acts as an automatic workers strike for climate change.
Like imagine everyone walking out of every office and workshop today. How long would oil companies bosses last with every other rich CEO unable to make money.
But also remember how greenhouse gas emissions dropped like a stone with the lockdowns?
While a max working temp law is great from just a protecting people point of view, it's secondary effects are massive and why I think there is a going to be a huge pushback from some of the most polluting companies. But I think it'll happen eventually.

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"

I tried tutanota, and emails that I sent to myself at work did not appear. That's why I chose proton, but obviously I'm mortified by what's happening there.

Oh fer chrissakes, is there any encrypted email provider that isn't falling into this pit? Do I have to give up email to avoid AI?
