I‘m wondering if there were still people in Germany in 1933 who loudly abstained from voting because “the choice between NSDAP and everything else is like the choice between pest and cholera” and “voting does not really change anything”.
And did they feel some smug justification that “the political class” failed? #Trump#Biden
Because it was Parliamentary rather than our system, it was more about directing their votes for/within the coalitions. Within the analogy you made, this was Thalmann's theory when he was explaining why Nazis were the better option.
Although most parties thought that they would all be "next" after the Nazi collapse, Ernest Thalmann was the one who explicitly sought to ally with Hitler to destroy liberal democracy ("the political class") because he thought it would just hurt "the right people".
For his trouble, he was among the first thrown in prison and was one of the few for whom Hitler specifically ordered the execution.
I desparately need an emergency #Linguistics service to challenge my new-to-me-and-maybe-stupid idea that #pierogi (the most delicious food) and #pierogue (the boat) are relatives.
It‘s just too plausible, they are little ships!
I can live with being one of today‘s lucky 10‘000, just tell me it‘s true!
So #Covid vaccines are dangerous because #mRNA is dangerous. #Amatoxin stops mRNA synthesis in the human body very effectively, it is absolutely natural, organic and available for free in wild mushrooms. #bigPharma is hiding this fact from us and even managed to give the most common of these mushrooms a bad name.
“#FreedomCap not #DeathCap” may be a good campaign slogan!
I’d like to file a formal complaint on the total lack of documentation for something useful I set up half a year ago for myself.
I have no idea why it works.
For those who like #sql, here's an sql that looks for the currently used spam-images per instance, limited by the last 3 hours and at least 10 hits.
I’ll use this as a blocklist for now. #mastoadmin#spam
Edit to clarify: It looks for a hash of the blurred pictures created by mastodon, so it actually looks for the pictures in a way, not hashtags.
Gerade Message an #MastodonSocial geschrieben:
„Nix gegen Pornos, aber nach deutschem Recht ist halt ein Video eines erigierten Penis beim Abspritzen ins Gesicht Pornographie, und Ihr verbreitet die frei zugänglich.
Müsst Ihr selber wissen.
(Man könnte natürlich auch mal die verwendeten Tags zur proaktiven Suche auf der eigenen Instanz verwenden.)“ #Mastoadmin#tooBigToBlock#NixImGriff
Can we please have a feature that lets us block traffic of Mastodon servers that have not been patched?
The API gives away the version number of the server - I‘m close to hacking a script that creates blocklists based on Server versions. #mastoadmin#spam#feature
@shanie thanks for clarification.
Still I think this would be a useful feature.
Maybe Mastodon should expose whether registration is open, too, so we can react on this.
A #LoRa devboard with #ESP32 for #169MHz - does it exist? It seems that LoRa is allowed on 169MHz in EU with the usual caveats so it should exist, but I can’t find it.
@chris Well. there are quite some ESP boards out for "Meshtastic", a chat system using LoRA. Probably not dev boards, but like any ESP32 quite hackable, I'd say. Maybe you search there?
I had a stupid idea what to do during the holidays: #3D printing funny magnetic applications for #FFP#Mask s at #37c3. Unfortunately my printer jammed, thoroughly, so there is only one in existence, yet.😭😭
If anybody wants to pick up and extend on the idea, that could still be fun!
(Please post pictures and files somewhere and tag them #animask - like animal and mask, that was the plan - so they can be found.)

Now that‘s a cute fishing attempt:
The administrator of my email server writes from administrator@mydomain.tld to mail@mydomain.tld:
I need to follow a link and enter my password to affirm that my email is still in use, or else.
(I‘ve been hosting my email myself for about two decades now…)
Ich trinke einen weiteren Kaffee, belausche weiter den Nachbartisch und fühle mich bestätigt in der Überzeugung, dass alte, von sich selbst überzeugte Männer wesentlicher Teil des generellen Problems sind.
Da ist eine Mischung aus Mangel an Demut, Selbstreflektion und eine eher mässige Fähigkeit zum Nachdenken. Jedes Hirn in der eigenen Echokammer.
Und das waren jetzt nicht einmal Nazi-Opas.
Ich frage mich ängstlich, wieviel davon kulturell und wieviel durch das Altern verursacht ist.
#Suspended #kolektivaSocial for being part of the problem - even if this is just a tiny instance it will not transport instances that are tolerating profiles containing “from the river to the sea”.
@chris That's interesting, I also just had this exact conclusion with this instance and a quick search showed me that I'm probably not the only one who has this impression.
