Just feeling like dropping some ❤️ 💙 🧡 💜 💚 into my timeline.

I feel truly privileged to have so many incredibly kind, wildly passionate, funny and fucking smart people here!

You all have a wonderful weekend (whether you're resting, working or doing otherwise)!

#FantasyLeserPrompts am 24.04.:

Liest Du fantastische Texte lieber als erfundene Geschichten, die in der "realen Welt" spielen? Warum (nicht)? Wann entscheidest Du Dich für das eine, wann für das andere?

Das ist für mich eine Frage wie "Wen magst du lieber: Mama oder Papa?"

Ich mag beide, jede auf ihre Art und Weise.

Für die Entscheidung, was ich lese, spielt nur eine Rolle, ob mich die Geschichte interessiert.

Vom Gefühl her gibt es bei Genre-Literatur weniger Top-Autor*innen als sonst.

I love #topology!

Übrigens gab es seit 1990 deutlich mehr Todesopfer rechter Gewalt in Deutschland, als Bundeswehrsoldaten im Kampfeinsatz gefallen sind.

Einen jährlichen Gedenktag für die Opfer des real existierenden Faschismus wird es aber wohl nie geben.

Gibt es eigentlich irgendjemand, der #Loriot nicht absolut großartig findet?

Do you know Stanislaw Lem, the fabulous Polish #SciFi author?

He wrote several stories about #robots and artificial intelligence (real one, not #ai).

Among many others, I love the hilarious "The Washing Machine Tragedy", as it highlights the relationship between #technology, #capitalism and #law.

Written in 1963, it foreshadows prophetically many of current developments.

In the story, two corporations begin to "enhance" their washing machines with all kind of "smart" tech to the point,

Does anybody know how to switch to "readers view" on mobile #Firefox?

Edit: it is, where it is supposed to be (in the address bar). Apparently it was just deactivated on this extremely annoying website, I had just opened.

So forget about this.

Watching youtube videos with adblocker is such a pleasant experience that I wonder how long until Google will make it impossible to watch videos outside their app (or a chrome based browser).

We should talk more about owner #liability

If you own part of a corporation, say through stocks and shares, CEOs and board act on your behalf and commit crimes (e.g. corruption, tax fraud, environmental damages etc.) you should be liable for those, at least until the sum of the worth of your shares, past paid dividends and profits by share price increases.

If you feel, you have been lied by the board and are innocent, you have the right to sue them for compensation.

Dear Friends, I'm heading towards bed.

If you also do, have sweet dreams.

Everyone on this platform (actually, it is also a thing on other platforms) should be aware of the importance of image descriptions.

What would you think of the idea, to have one day in the year, where we don't post images, only descriptions?

Does anybody know a PeerTube instance which does accept registrations and uploads?

I'd be willing to pay a few Euros.

Or a really cheap web hoster, where I could install my own?

The instance, I was using has apparently gone away.

Update: The instance, I was using was only temporarily down and is back up. So: no urgency.

In the long run, I will probably just run my own instance.

Anoche me fui a dormir muy temprano. Por lo tanto, me desperté en medio de la noche y terminé viendo un video de Franco Pisso, un profesor de comunicación, que a mí me parece muy capo, sobre lo que está cambiando en el manejo de la #política latinoamericana a nivel comunicacional y lo quiero compartir con ustedes.

Toma como ejemplos los presidentes de #México y #ElSalvador.

Constata que los pueblos del continente están hartos (añado: no solo ahí) de los juegos de

Question: Is there a Mastodon-App where I can scroll up in a thread whilst composing an answer to a toot?

As a mainly web user, it annoys the heck out of me that I can't do that in Tusky.

Gibt es hier Leute, die sich ein bisschen mit #Instagram auskennen?

Kann man da auch Threads (also miteinander verbundene Posts) machen oder ist das wie hier, dass man einfach auf sich selbst antwortet?

Habe keinen Account dort, kann also nicht ausprobieren und frage für einen Freund (wirklich diesmal).

There are quite some religious and spiritual people I like a lot and deeply respect.

I would never judge a person based on their #faith.

The same is not true for #religion itself and esoterics. I was always convinced that such belief systems are poisonous to the mind in the sense: If they can make you believe something for life, because you were told so as a child or by a guru or a book (these are the common entry points) without evidence, you can basically be taught anything, if somebody
