I see myself in everyone.

(not much the ego at work but pieces we all have and share together... in 1 humanity - Awesome!)

At long last, the Thunderbird blog now has a "Share To Mastodon" button!

A hearty round of applause and eternal thanks to @micah, @oopsallnaps, and @devmount for making it happen 💙

#Mastodon #Community #OpenSource

Whether they die in a slaughterhouse or drown at sea when the ship taking them to that slaughterhouse sinks the animals always lose.

God bless the people who in turn provide me. (a poem and thanks whether it's Sunday today or not)

God bless the people who in turn provide me.
For even if I don't believe in God
I have to make time to thank thee

As people may confuse that which they don't see
I still have to say, "I thank thee"

(Thank you all.)

#Mastodon #Suggestion for incompatible instances / blocked servers 


If you can't follow someone due to incompatible instance / block servers (other instance may have blocked due to a few users or politically) - you can still follow users using this way...

Add those people to a list (Subscribe via RSS)... I think this is the way or simplest how to say it

(someone please check me if I'm correct if they use it daily that this works as I've said)

Amazing!! Analyzing a tesseract , to stretch your mind into the fourth dimension ! ciechanow.ski/tesseract/

One must have a strong will to save wood or anything one has a lot of and seemingly doesn't costs much to 'use a little more'.

Asterix and Obelix comics, characters and themes... 

Asterix and Obelix comic and themes...

Hard to say what was my favourite as memory and mediums changed / overwritten somewhat...

But characters and themes were always larger than life with Asterix and Obelix book / comics when younger anytime I saw them in school library or newspapers (anywhere else?).

I have to recall but for now I note this memory and more to come!

",,,15 board games, 18 films, 40 video games, and 1 theme park " !!!

And hope you can share too!...

+ Ethnic Stereotypes sections isn't too far off my cultural experience or just plain really similar to all cultures with sub-types of people ! Might be seen as racist or hard to accept in these political time but least harmful is this:

█ "Normans (Vikings)... don't know what fear is (which they're trying to discover), and in their home territory (Scandinavia), the night lasts for 6 months."

█ More examples pasted below (from same Wikipedia link)

☺Greeks are chauvinists and consider Romans, Gauls, and all others to be barbarians. They eat stuffed grape leaves (dolma), drink resinated wine (retsina), and are hospitable to tourists. Most seem to be related by blood, and often suggest some cousin appropriate for a job.

☺Normans (Vikings) drink endlessly, they always use cream in their cuisine, they don't know what fear is (which they're trying to discover), and in their home territory (Scandinavia), the night lasts for 6 months.

☺Belgians speak with a funny accent, snub the Gauls, and always eat sliced roots deep-fried in bear fat. They also tell Belgian jokes.

☺Egyptians are short with prominent noses, endlessly engaged in building pyramids and palaces. Their favorite food is lentil soup and they sail feluccas along the banks of the Nile River.

☺Persians (Iranians) produce carpets and staunchly refuse to mend foreign ones. They eat caviar, as well as roasted camel and the women wear burqas.

T☺he Jews are all depicted as Yemenite Jews, with dark skin, black eyes, and beards, a tribute to Marc Chagall, the famous painter whose painting of King David hangs at the Knesset (Israeli Parliament).

Using the #fediverse is both like browsing and email. We can go look at whatever we want on here, but people can also tag us with whatever they want. This is what makes server level blocking/silencing complicated. We don't like anybody limiting what we can see, but we also don't want the world to be able to send endless shit into our inbox. A healthy fedi will be full of servers fully federated and dedicated to balancing these concerns for their users and the larger network. #fediblockmeta

My post was referring to commonality of clever people spreading more about the obvious lies in the media qoto.org/@LouisIngenthron/1119

and even spreading bad media links! (which achieves their goals of more eye-balls and more shit-show coverage instead or people loving stuff!)

(my conclusion to why people would go back to looking for more of the bad stuff)

MASTODON POLL -To show / defend a bit using sign that scraping user data is not ok? (no consent disclaimer or sign somewhere?) 

MASTODON TO SHOW and defend (a bit) that scraping user data is not ok? (A 'no consent' disclaimer or sign somewhere?)

Mastodon should / could at least attempt to discourage sites from data scraping by putting a sign and notice (in the footer for example?)
-------------------------------
█ Yes / No / Maybe
to make any attempt to block those kinds of habits / not to leave it unchecked?
-------------------------------
Last poll (when it was more than 1 reply) = 6 people
Yes 66% / No 17% / Maybe 17%

2nd Last poll = 17 people
Yes 82% / No 12% / Maybe 6%

At least something to say to Google or other sites that this behaviour is not what Mastodon is for and its users are not allowing / wanting it UNLESS THEY SAY.

(We wanted to get away from these things right?)

ADDED INFO:
ℹ️ Also Eugene not wanting to encourage using better links for Mastodon (like instead of youtube links the option to use yewtu.be instead - so that milions of links FROM MASTODON are less Googlified (LESS $ AND DATA TRACKING) - so not being interested is a worry and future thing I think we need to use now
(Invidious and other software if you don't know is the same but blocks bad code and filters adverts from EXACTLY the same pages)

example:
invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=R3ptZ

⬆️ same youtube link but the url before the video ID R3ptZ1W-FRA is different

same link with another server yewtu.be/watch?v=R3ptZ1W-FRA

After all Invidious Federation is similar to Mastodon and we should use them all to redirect to better links OR AT LEAST GIVE OPTION (nothing about Eugene)

See all the glorious instances here!
redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

Many assume we need more intelligence & power to fix the world's human-caused problems.

Maybe we actually need better epistemology & ethics?

Because arguably intelligence & power, untethered from "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings", caused the problems?

Questions reveal your level to others.

(People don't ask me also in fear, because asking shows how little I might know but also how little they might know - the only difference being I don't have much fear AND I'm willing to plough through / battle any understanding ...or just simply admit it! Others are not so able therefore ask less / delay / leave things silent)

Being in the cold voluntarily makes you think with more determined 'fire' in your mind / life.

Explained: The cold ❄️ voluntarily in the morning or later evening for me makes me keep working at a kind of optimum because even though I have wood for fire I'm operating like there is none...
I'm in the same mindset of "cold shit fuck!" but without desperation and know I can light stove anytime 🔥 which is like a "oh yea baby heaven" when lit.

A mix of concepts customised for myself as a / consumption rate and creative output etc

"In responding to Sagan, Thorne pointed out that venturing into a black hole, with the hope of finding a spatial shortcut to elsewhere, would not be a good idea. Astronauts would be stretched like taffy due to its intense gravitational field, bombarded by lethal energy released by infalling matter, and accelerated to a dangerous level like the most unsafe thrill ride imaginable."
