I'm old enough to remember the outrage and hand-wringing from western politicians and media when the Taliban destroyed ancient cultural and religious sites in Afghanistan.

Now? You could hear a pin drop.

I tried to type a post about a mistake I made in a program, and my phone changed to "in a problem".

And yeah, I get it. Many programs would be better referred to as problems

@_elena @mcc @mhoye This chimes with my anecdotal experience of seeing some former Twitter mutuals turn up on Mastodon. They receive multiple Welcome! greetings and the usual simple tips about following liberally, following hashtags etc. Then they follow nobody; complain it's 'too quiet' here; sometimes moan out loud that 'you can't build an audience in here'; and leave. It's as if they wandered into a café where people are mingling and chatting, but they mistake it for a stage with an audience.

@mathiasx I’ve always been a big fan of signs - on trails or historic buildings. I think a community wiki might include important places or plants in the community and the history of their significance. I like to think of it like putting residents and visitors on the map both physically and historically. Perhaps that’s getting out of the scope of what you had originally envisioned, but it excites me. Otherwise, community “businesses” - where to eat, get a window fixed, walk a dog.

has anyone already made a captcha meme that asks the user to prove they're human by selecting all tolerable candidates, showing the pictures of harris and trump side by side?

This is how to do it…

Running #chatmail servers is <2h effort per month, according to an ad-hoc poll with 10 operators responding. Some have 10Ks of #deltachat users. Typically 300MB ram is used and max 60gb disc space per server. And all interoperate safely based on high security standards (DKIM and TLS enforced, and only no-metadata #openpgp encrypted messages allowed) .... with typically 0.5 secs end-to-end delivery. Who said again that email is insecure, cumbersome and slow? :)

This website refutes many of the invalid accusations against Richard Stallman that were used to cancel him. It's the result of careful research from a rational and objective standpoint. It shows the truth, backed by the testimony of conscientious and thoughtful people. We invite you to explore it and join our efforts to give Stallman's visionary voice in the free software movement the space it deserves.

Disgusting? Now it's 16, and with France, Italy, Germany, Portugal... it used to be
the same as Spain, yet no one said any bullshit like you except EagleTM Prudelandia.
Maybe the US should learn a thing or two. Oh, btw, you are the ones allowing 16yos to
drive a huge chunk of metal not giving a shit to the rest of drivers/pedestrians.
Which is scarier. And don't let me start on guns...

@report_press@mastodon.social Can I also just say that personally attacking people through an anonymous report is also a very lame thing to do?

Hello again,

I've been out of the fediverse due to technical reasons with the server I was previously (castilla.social) and wanting to leave the social media for some time.

Now, I'm back at a server, which I hope it ends up being more stable in the long term.

My interests are:
- Software development, with particular interests in #Prolog, #Emacs and #Rust
- History about all periods, although my favorite topics are contemporary and pre-Roman cultures.
- I'm learning #Chinese. I'm still a newbie, so don't expect a lot.
- Bikes (I usually post photos with my trips), trains, planes and also cars
- Videogames. I've grown up with games like SimCity, OpenTTD and similar. I also enjoy racing games and some action games are fine too.

I also have a website and a blog (mostly in Spanish): https://adrianistan.eu and https://blog.adrianistan.eu

@YakyuNightOwl @CptSuperlative currently reading this. It tells a very different story from the Hollywood version as well. A lot of unnecessary sacrifice, mass murder, desperate attempts to hold on to colonial interests and practically zero concern for local or indigenous populations. And that's just the allies. For me, Palestine and the Middle East show that none of the above has gone away when it comes to the morality of the US, Germany and most of the West and they're about to do it again.

@peterbrown @gerrymcgovern @jgkoomey Hard to see a system that celebrates the acceleration of the destruction of our own habitat as anything but a death cult.
