I figured you were doing business in the US after your former post 2 weeks ago...

I just really really hope the ONLY non-american social platform in europe will not be influenced one-way-or-the-other by americans corporations.

Really.

See the power of US corporations (instead of EU products..) for europeans here in this 2 minute survey: https://www.lokjo.com/eu

Imagine really caring what gender someone is. The only reason you would really care is if you intend to treat one gender in a different way than the other.

"I don't know what to call them!"

Call them by their goddamn name.

@RickiTarr I'm still confused by what people want. First they say 'everybody's equal' and the next thing we have 'gay limpics', 'womans-nights', and 'TGQNB only'.

I'm fine with all of them but are getting a little bit confused about what the heck they want: equal or not?

Knowing corporations a bit, I wouldn't be surprised if soon windows 10 'surprisingly' would get some serious bugs/hacks etc.

See it as the Apple trick, trashing older phones to push people to get the newer one. (because god forbid people would be smart enough to get a fair product from another company.........)

Wer würde denn auf die Idee kommen, dass Waze auch ins Google-Imperium gehört? Ich erst mal nicht als Laie. Da könnte ich ja gleich bei Maps bleiben. Und bei Waze bin ich wohl teilweise sogar völlig gläsern, da andere Fahrer mich "sehen" können.

Was bleibt noch als Alternative, wenn man aus Google raus will?

Mastodon now supports automatic switching between the light and dark theme, depending on your system setting.

It will be available in the upcoming 4.3 version, or is already there if your instance runs the nightly code.

You can switch to this new automatic theme in your Appearance preferences. Instance admins can also set it as the default theme (I just did it on mastodon.social and mastodon.online).

This has been done in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29748, thanks a lot to @nshki for the initial PR!

@renchap How does the automatic switching actually work? I mean, what does it do?

Has any media reported about the gas and oil fields on Palestinian territory yet? You know, the one US (media) investors have interest in and might be the reason they're trying to justify a war?

Just raising a little point here.

Smelting Without Fossil Fuels: Power Shatters the 1,000°C Barrier for Industrial Heating

"Swiss researchers have developed a solar energy method using synthetic quartz to achieve temperatures above 1,000°C for industrial processes, potentially replacing fossil fuels in the production of materials like steel and cement."

https://scitechdaily.com/smelting-steel-without-fossil-fuels-solar-power-shatters-the-1000c-barrier-for-industrial-heating/

Caveat: this is a lab result, albeit a promising one.

This would be amazing and save TONS of co2 from being emitted.

The only hurdle now is to block oil & gas investors from stopping to use this method.

"The First Slam Dunk" von Takehiko Inoue - Heilige Scheiße, was für ein Müll. Absurd flache bis sinnlose Dialoge und eine Geschichte, die man in 25 Minuten hätte erzählen können (der Film dauert 2 Stunden). Der Regisseur weiß selbst nicht, was er da überhaupt macht - Sportfilm, Drama, over-the-top-Anime-Action? Worum geht es, was sind die Regeln, was wollen die Figuren? Niemand weiß es.
Ich hab nichts gefühlt - Außer Langeweile.

BREAKING: ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan announces he is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leadership Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, & Ismail Haniyeh, and Israeli leadership PM Benjamin Netanyahu & Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Both parties are charged with multiple specific war crimes. Both parties must stand trial. No one is above the law as this is how we protect international rules based order. Posting a detailed analysis soon.

stupidjim,
@stupidjim@mastodon.social avatar

@QasimRashid

Yes but has anybody ever sought arrest warrants for the US?

It's always other people, just never the US and the evidences are flowing over the bucket by now.

If nobody is above the law then it would be great to actually see the system work properly, unless it's 'nobody is above US law', which would be a thick scam.

“The University of York has been forced to divest from weapons and arms manufacturers tied to Israel after a series of protests from a student-led coalition.”

    Surreal moment: there was a dude shooting a rap video in Kensington Market, but what this looked like was him standing on a street corner holding a big microphone and rapping into it in complete silence. Just really going ham, big gestures and facial expressions but making no noise whatsoever. His cameraman was way on the other side of the intersection and I didn't see him at first so for a moment it just appeared this man was trapped in a pocket dimension in which a rap video was occuring

    @mcc Was it an older brown guy with a red fishing-ish hat? Cause I had one standing next to me a while ago on an crowded street, doing exactly that. (without microphone though)

    One word: US corporations.

    There's a lot of gas on palestine territory (just like in the Ukrain) and they'll do everything to justify a war, to get those juicy minerals through Israel/Ukrainian domination.

    This week in ✨

    If you are into languages, you are probably familiar with those conversations with your multilingual friends: you take arbitrary elements from the languages you both speak, and randomly squeeze them together into sentences.

    That is any regular Monday for the Swiss. Schwyzdüütsch, a.k.a. German is a colorful amalgamation of German, French and Italian.

    While living in germany not for long I once had a german friend telling me she build her own closet, so me in reply said 'wow, du bist schlimm!' (when 'slim' in dutch means 'smart')

    Her face skewed and she threw a rant but after some explanation we had a good laugh, but yeah, languages can be funny sometimes mixing them up!
