Today in 1997, Dollard Menard died. As Lt. Col., he was wounded five times during the Dieppe Raid in 1942 while leading the Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal. Of all the commanding officers, he was the only one who landed at Dieppe to return to Britain after the raid.

I can see a lot of student getting a fail, sadly they will blame the university and not their own stupidity, we can't take responsibility for that can we.

I feel sorry for the students who put the effort in.

I can't boost this so will share this way

It is not the anti social stuff that worries me as much as the people who start huge fires just by throwing a lighted cigarette on the ground or leave BBQs around.

When i was in canada for a year, I learned the phrase

Leave only footprints, take only memories. wise words to anyone venturing in to nature.

@tf @alex_roddie@mastodon.scot

I am with you on this, it is just typical that the powers that be go after the easy solutions..

You probably get in more trouble for skinny dipping on a secluded beach in England than for bring drunk and disorderly in the street. go figure.

@witchescauldron

Indeeed, if we value what we have here we can build better. We all know what big tech is capabkle of, we can all see their lies, we know about embrace, expand and extinguish.

We can see these threats from early on and wont let that threat get very far.

@support

Really good policy and post here, yeah i get sick of the "it was a joke" excuse, it is used in the work place for trying to justify sexual harassment for example.

It may seem funny to the abuser, but the victim sees it as totally the opposite,

Keep up the good work as mods you do a really good job regardless of where you are on fedi.

⚠️⚠️⚠️IMPORTANT INFOSEC.EXCHANGE POLICY CLARIFICATION⚠️ ⚠️⚠️

I don’t feel like I should have to say this, but here we are…

Threats of violence, offers to kill someone, encouraging suicide, and/or any related awful comments, harassment, or related behavior is not welcome and will result in suspension without warning.

Claiming “it was a joke” is unlikely to help. Also, using the “appeal” functionality to take a parting shot at the moderators may feel good, but it just further evidence that person doesn’t belong here.

Accounts demonstrating such behavior on other instances will similarly be suspended and if moderators on the originating instance do not take action, we may suspend the instance.

I think the issues with wild camping are more complex, **a vast majority of people wild camp responsibly**, however as we have seen during the summer heat waves, one or two idiots spoil it for everyone else, hence we have had massive fires on open ground, or rubbish left strewn everywhere, human waste left on the ground etc etc.
We have even had a disposable BBQ left buried in the sand, found by a child standing on it (as it was still hot) child suffered horrific burns.

How do the national parks balance those of us who are responsible with those idiots who spoilt it for everyone else.

It is those of you who do things properly who end up on the wrong side of these rulings.

I don't see this as intrusive as such, I follow people based on interest. So if you're posting on Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy or some other science based topic then the subject matter is an important key factor,

Also bare in mind, following @nasa or @spacetelescope

foir example you are following organisations that are diverse, but they are more than 1 person so organisations don't generally have pronouns.

I think scripts such as this could be useful for personal research in to how many people from a particular group post about subjects but again, how scientific or accurate is that.

I don't think you will be judged based on your follow list.

#Medium, the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter now has a fediverse server.

Now might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the people who bequeathed you Twitter.

> A federated approach based on a protocol called #ActivityPub has proven durable and viable over the past five years.. different servers run by different people or organizations can host people's accounts, and people can see, reply.. boost the posts of people on the other servers. The most widely known software.. is #Mastodon but it is far from alone. #Akkoma, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Pixelfed.., #PeerTube.., Mobilizon.., and more all implement the #ActivityPub protocol.

I did read that years ago a hotel was saved, because the Beatles stayed there. Not sure where the hotel was though.
