My favorite pastime is learning.

If something is unconventional it's typically better for it.

Music is crucial and experiencing it is mandatory - be it through listening or creating.

Reducing suffering is the best life goal I've come up with.

Netanyahu defies Biden, insisting there’s ‘no space’ for Palestinian state (www.theguardian.com)

Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident....

wildginger,

That we allow religion to hold such massive sway is such a point of shame for our species, and out countries.

Three years after the January 6 attack, propaganda about the insurrection is poisoning the American public (www.cnn.com)

The U.S. will mark the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection on Saturday, a milestone that will confer upon the reality-dwelling citizenry a grim reminder of the potency of propaganda and how quickly it can warp perception when introduced into the public square....

MotoAsh,

Three years later, the ring leader and main benefactor is still free and openly lying.

This country is a joke. Literally incapable of defending itself from the inside. The US is beyond pathetic and will go down in history as such. We are so capable yet choose corruption.

Why Is One of Trump's Fake Electors Still Overseeing Voting in Wisconsin? (www.thenation.com)

“Wisconsin voters have been awaiting accountability for three years, and it is beyond time to hold those who perpetrated this scheme responsible for their actions,” explained Jeff Mandell, an attorney for the Law Forward firm that brought the suit. “This settlement agreement provides one piece of that accountability and...

huginn,

I 100% agree with him: nobody should subsidize the health insurance of anyone else.

… because all health insurance is a scam to extract the maximum money from the most desperate and instill fear of unexpected bills in the rest.

Fuck health insurance, we need a public healthcare system.

There is an international fascist movement. It is not quite accurate to call it Putinism, but that’s a start. It keeps showing up like a pathogenic fungus in different countries, but often with the same poisonous doctrines:

  • Your country is great because of your ethnic group.
  • There are some Rejects From Elsewhere who keep wanting to get into your country to steal the stuff that your ethnic group has made.
  • There is a Great Leader who is willing to speak the Forbidden Truths about your ethnic group’s awesomeness.
  • The Deep State Woke Eurocrats hate your ethnic group and your Great Leader because you’re awesome. They want to help the Rejects From Elsewhere take away your awesomeness.
  • Also they’re gay, and Jewish, and maybe even Californian.
  • The Great Leader’s Party should get to do unconstitutional things in order to beat the Deep State Woke Eurocrats; because if they don’t win, your ethnic group will be oppressed by the Rejects From Elsewhere.
  • Let’s take a moment to smash the queers. Smash them in Italy, smash them in Florida, smash them in Poland. It’s really, really important to smash the queers. If you want to follow the Great Leader into reclaiming your country’s awesomeness, you MUST pause to smash the queers.
  • By the way, the Great Leader is specifically allowed to destroy the court system, just to make sure that the queers and the Deep State Woke Eurocrats don’t get to hand your whole country to the Rejects From Elsewhere.

AI and large language models: what do they reveal about our current education system?

Something that struck me about recent “large language models” is how their answers resemble those of students who work (on purpose or unawares) by memorization. I mean students who learn that specific patterns, appearing in questions, require particular answers. Such students can be extremely skilled at this. But they...

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

OKbinBuddyChicanery,

Transphobia, racism, etc aren't an opinion. They are hate speech. Full stop.

I am absolutely against silencing opinions. I am also absolutely in favor of silencing hate speech. Understand the difference.

CTA: Create a thriving Fediverse without relying on Reddit

The Fediverse must be very careful to avoid getting branded as the "alternative to X". In my experience, platforms that have historically branded themselves as "alternative to" or "anti-" have generally not done well. Learned this from the last Reddit exodus: let's make this one different!...

The immediate future of the subreddit [r/chess] is in question after our latest subreddit poll. Results and the situation so far (www.reddit.com)

Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin. However, the top mod changes his mind, unilaterally decides that the sub should open, and threatens the rest of the mods with...

Codeberg is currently unavailable for technical reasons

Codeberg is experiencing stability issues today. I love this place, the entire ecosystem that helped me integrate repository functionality with Matrix chat room, translations, and everything in the spirit of Free and Open Software. Lately, we've been making a lot of noise there. Today, I decided to provide a small support, and I...

/kbin contribution and information for instance owners

The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It's time to...

Don't be discouraged by people saying these protests don't work, or by subreddits going public

People discredit every type of protest, IRL or not. I think back to every major protest that's happened in response to some major event, and the response every time is "That won't ever work", "You're wasting your time", "Imagine caring about that"....

People in their desire to see Reddit "hurt" lose track of what should be the real goal: carve out a new platform, where those that do care can work towards building something that suits us better. Even if it never rivals Reddit, and there isn't mass adoption.

/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

Personally I'm not here for a slick interface and lightning fast performance. Those things can be fixed. I'm here for the community -- that's something Reddit doesn't have, and can never be fixed.
