FYI, someone just asked me, "Could you please put a CW on those US politics posts?"

I said no sorry,, just mute me.

I don't understand CWing political posts. And that doesn't mean you need to @ me explaining why. I know THEIR reasons, I just disagree with them and won't do it.

I respect CWs for other things, but not politics. Politics is news and people need to be aware of what's happening. It's not gory or violent, it's politics.

Kthxbye.

@GottaLaff @peterainbow @nicolesandler filtering is excellent on Mastodon. Politics can be triggering, but I don't feel there is general consensus it should be CW. Also each instance and user abide their own rules :)

With the 2024 election, Black people are not the people anyone needs to worry about. We’re not the idiots, we’re not the nazis. It’s white people. FOCUS.

peteriskrisjanis,
@peteriskrisjanis@toot.lv avatar

@StillIRise1963 Yeah I found that focus on black people being doubtful about Biden a bit strange. He lost 7% at worst. Considering his limits on helping them, or not fully willing to do so, that's impressive.
White people. Yep. Get ignorant kids and thirty sometings out of their comfort zones, scare them, make them face reality. Because they are next.

You get the impression from today's Tories (Sunak, Truss et al) that they don't really like Britain or its people very much. They regard the British people as lazy, "woke", workshy and ungrateful.

Hence all their talk about doing away with doctors' sick notes, discouraging work-from-home, "Singapore on the Thames" etc. They would much rather be governing an imaginary authoritarian country somewhere in Asia with zero workers rights.

@danjac Sunak is sociopathic billionare with no real identity or belonging. He is so distant from even top earner working for normal wages that he could be from entirely different planet.

@GottaLaff so anti Ukraine move blew up in GOP face and no one wants to keep this Vlad train going, at least for now. I will get popcorn.
Also will get a drink because I thought help for Ukraine is a bust. Hope it passes today 🤞

We've seen four episodes now of the "new new" and RTD's take/vision of this era and I have to say, with the exception of , I remain very much on the fence. It's too "magical" for my liking, it doesn't do a lot of sci-fi stuff or concepts. And it has the usual silliness dialed to 11 (or 12), all amplified by RTD's sledgehammer writing style. It's somewhat ok and at times interesting, even charming, but overall I still don't know if it's for me. Which is fine.

@jynersolives I feel it is specially made to expand into USA, like first hook to reach younger audiences. And as you say, that is fine in general. Fact that Who can refresh and go on like this is remarkable.

@jynersolives I think worries about threads are still valid, but Fediverse is built to withstand some of that, and for some of other problems we will have to build tools.
Fact I can follow someone on Threads still feels amazing and I hope this sticks.

Looks like the US "originalist" Supreme Court is not only overturning the founding principles of the US Constitution, but the 1689 English Bill of Rights that bound the King under the law.

Any constitution, after all, is just a piece of paper subject to the whims of whoever is in power at any time.

peteriskrisjanis,
@peteriskrisjanis@toot.lv avatar

@danjac it is really not. The majority of constitutions are codified, so if someone wants to grab power, they eventually will come in conflict with it.
It is way UK and USA does it is plain wrong and has been wrong for centuries. It has ensured rich people rule. Fact that they start to openly embrace fascism is because they have means to BS half of the populace.

Inspired by talks, I tried nightly GNOME Web build. So smooth and responsive. Trying out NewsFlash as well, just need to find time to read 😅 . And last but not least, Fractal 5.0 now does not lag anymore when switching rooms, so I am very close to ditch Matrix web client, yaaaaay! 🎉 😀

While GOP blocking Ukraine help might help putin in short run, it will revitalise the EU role and make the USA's role in support even smaller. If that is the cost of Europe starting to boost up its defence production, so be it. It might not to be as cunning plan as much as trump trying to offer putin something, hopeful in return.

Denial phase of many people about fact that we have to phase fossil fuels now makes for excellent comedy, but highlights same issues essentially as pandemic. Humans are not driven by logic. We are driven by mess of associations, hopes, dreams, expectations. Quite a few people in West can't imagine their lives without cars, or traveling on too regular basis, despite not requiring it for sustained living.

Tried Half-Life 2 on Steam Deck - Valve has really gone an extra mile to polish it specially for a device, which feels obviously for them. Menus all have integrated gamepad support, you can change settings in Steam control schema system if needed, and default set feels right at home. Game has been obviously tested and visually look stunning. I also started to use gyro for aiming and shots I pulled despite using gamepad controls and small screen was impressive
