The daily mail newspaper in the UK ran this headline story today
Freed Israeli hostage Mia Schem says 'EVERYONE in Gaza is a terrorist' and that she 'went through a holocaust' while held prisoner not just by Hamas but also civilian families in her first interview

Been watching some of the US civil war series by Tim Burns, excellent series.
Sounds good, we are making so much progress even cancer research are now saying we are beating cancer whereas before it was we will beat cancer

This is your reminder not to censor yourself because you're afraid you'll lose followers.
Only the people who stay are worth knowing who you are. Be you. Be as much as yourself as you want to put out there, but be yourself.
We need more sincere people who aren't trying to put on a show to get followers. People just being themselves. Sometimes goofy, sometimes angry, sometimes brilliant, but always true selves.
To me, that's what makes a great social media platform. People being who they are.

"Why don't people want to pay for streaming anymore?" cry the companies who split streaming into 40 different services that keep increasing in cost while randomly removing content without warning, and shoving ads into our paid services.
Yup, sure is a mystery. A real head scratcher.

Happy 452ⁿᵈ Birthday to Johannes Kepler!
He is a key figure in the 17th-century Scientific Revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, & his books Astronomia nova, Harmonice Mundi, & Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae, influencing among others Isaac Newton, providing one of the foundations for his theory of universal gravitation. @wikipedia
Sounds like the line Putin is taking, his narrative is that Ukraine is full of NAZIs, that need removing. We can make the world a better place without killing each other and radicalising the next generation as a result of all the truma inflicted on children by adults.

The UK government can't condemn this without surely also condeming the behaviour of the Isreali IDF parading adult men AND Boys (person under 18) in their underwear, holding people without trial and this is just in the West Bank.
The UK government does not want to be seen to be critical of Israel.
However if Russia does any of the above, the condemnation is clear and immediate, shows total lack of regard for humanity and total double standards.

So I got a Raspberry Pi 4 for Christmas and I think I’m going to use it to go #SelfHosted with certain services and educate myself on #DigitalSovereignty. Do any mastonauts have resource recommendations for me? Complete linux/networking noob here.

He recibido un #RaspberryPi 4 por navidad y estoy pensando en usarlo para aprender sobre #AutoHospedaje y #SoberaníaDigital. ¿Algún mastonauta con recomendaciones de recursos con los que aprender? Novato absoluto en linux y redes informáticas.
Yup, as I was taught on a rugby referee courses, if the maul is not going anywhere, the ref can say 'use it or lose it'. The same goes for library and similar services.

They can't differentiate between different forms of protest. They don't want decent, like with the Tory whip, we are meant to toe the line of government narritive and direction.
If we did that our protest would involve walking around in endless circles due to all the U turns they keep making.
I guess one solution to that, would be to find someone to take a nice photo and leave this with your last will and testament, with clear instructions to use this photo.
I generally use free software anyway (e.g LinuxMint), so I can free to copy that to people as required. I guess piracy is less of an issue, the problem is people can be so tied in to non free software and services such as windows, office, google it is much harder for them to leave. Others in a team would have to switch to alternatives too.
