‘Ilker Erdogan, a 20-year-old university student and LGBTQ activist, has known no leader other than Erdogan and AKP-led governments.

"From the moment I was born, I felt that discrimination, homophobia and hatred in my bones," he told AFP before Sunday's vote.

"I feel deeply afraid. Feeling so afraid is affecting my psychology terribly. I couldn't breathe before, and now they will try to strangle my throat," he added.’

“Turkey's leader Mr has a bond with his followers…religious …

‘We were blessed by the fact that our president is again leading us,’ said Hatice Duran, 50…smiling broadly beneath her headscarf.

Now he is newly emboldened…and the Kremlin is celebrating…

In his victory speech he insisted ‘only was the winner’—but he lost no time in attacking the opposition and the community…”

Many predict…more and less ”

🤔 Why I Stopped Tracking Traffic on My Personal Sites https://ayos.blog/stopped-tracking-on-my-sites

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@ayo @Shini92 > I realized that I was never happy about being tracked. Why should I do that to others?

This. And not to mention, when you add Google Analytics to your sites, you’re not just tracking people who visit your site, you’re enabling Google to track people across the web. That’s why it’s free for you to use. You’re helping build their global surveillance network one site at a time.

Thank you for writing and sharing this. I hope other devs are listening.

If you're between the ages of 20-25 in Turkiye, and voted for Kemal, you don't have to be a part of this sinking ship anymore.

Get out of the country while you still can... That's my message.

@pokermask Not bad advice but, also, easier said than done. Many people want to but have you ever tried entering a Western country with a Turkish passport?

There is no evidence ... NONE ... after over half a century of intense research ... that challenges that modern climate change is caused by us ... especially from the burning of fossil fuels.

Folks, if you see this character creating accounts on your instances, please block on sight. They’re a nuisance to say the least:

Thanks.

(I know this isn’t actually but we likely need a separate hashtag for folks who create spam accounts across many instances. Any ideas?)

@scottmatter @elizabethveldon Citations often come retrospectively, once it’s too late to do anything about the tragedy that has already transpired.

Some of us would rather try and prevent a genocide than write a fucking Wikipedia article about it after the fact.

    Sitting at the hotel bar in Paris, sipping some red wine and adding a new database command to the Kitten¹ command-line interface.

    You can now tail JavaScript Database (JSDB)² tables with:

    kitten db <table name>

    (Remember that JSDB writes its tables as append-only JavaScript logs.)

    My wife found this one somewhere. This is why open-mindedness is the underpinning of the Scientific Method and people who lack it will never comprehend the Method. If the goal is the instant gratification of certainty and always being right, the Method will disappoint and the only recourse becomes self-delusion.

    aral,
    @aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

    @VulcanTourist I understand the sentiment but I’d phrase it more as “it’s never about you being right or wrong.” In other words, once you’ve understood a thing (to the degree you’ve currently understood it) – and on subjects that affect the welfare of people, other living things, and the planet – ethics demands that you very much make a value judgement on whether it is a good or bad thing. We must ensure scientific detachment doesn’t become a justification for moral neutrality.
