📣 We need translators!

We are about to publish the version 2 of #LiberaForms, and we need the help of translators to complete the translations. Any language that is translated more than 90% will be included into the next version.

We are looking specially for Catalan translators to finish up the work of previous translators. French and German translations need to be finished up too.

Thanks to @NGIZero for the help they are giving us

The problem is it's hard to find because a lot of the tech industry types are all about fads and social conformity. Nobody has the balls to get shunned like Eich, ESR, RMS, Terry, or others did. Before Terry died and his history was rewritten in many ways, he was absolutely shat on by HN, Somethingawful, and more sites. They saw him as someone to be shunned completely because he argued with everyone and said the bad words.

It's especially bad when it comes to news aggregating sites that circlejerk around upvotes and username post history. Terminally online losers love their posting history and also use it to win arguments.

@hpr Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship .... James Webb Space Telescope.

OK better listen to @perloid and @mcnalu as they know what they're talking about.

Yepp. It is a real tragedy that boys suffer under toxic masuline roles as well. Additionally, violent and toxic family dynamics cause violent and toxic families in the future, since children learn what is right and wrong at home, not by teaching but example. An evolutionary advantage of human biology that is going to bite us in the ass.

@bonifartius
@thor stated that "leftists created incels", and that's wrong. The image of a "real man" was created by other men, and that is toxic for all men unable to conform. If more are driven to suicide (if that's true, since once upon a time they could simply enlist in a war and let themselves be shot) then maybe because they can't let their frustration and feelings of being inadequate out by violence?
BTW: Boys are victims of the education system, no leftists there.

real bad when 10% of US boys gets diagnosed with ADHD (CDC, 2016) without experts questioning the underlying reasons.

Thank you for boosting this forward! I appreciate it!

It definitely seems like the failure of price controls and the rapid inflation on prices for fuel have been the immediate driving force. But, as you said, I have the sense that wider dynamics of capitalist inequality, and its relation to the regime and the natural gas trade are very much in play here

I'm tracking events in Kazakhstan with some people right now. Information that we have been able to find is pretty scarce, and of course bound up with any number of online propaganda campaigns. I have been seeing the looting and the seizure of weapons from the military and police, but the main factions are a bit hard to identify.

Does anyone here have a sense for what is happening there now or any contacts on the ground?

If you think about it, we programmers are linguists: we speak computer and teach computers to speak human.

@sim @brian @thor @zleap

I think the two go hand-in-hand, since our problem here is that a lot of the content is regular updates, and some of the exceptional stuff gets lost in the flow when no one interacts with it enough to boost it.

As I said: the Fedi is run by hellthreads.

@amerika @brian @thor @zleap Yeah. Posting more quality content was something that I wanted to see on the fediverse more since the degeneracy is so common and I decided unconsciously that I should at least contribute in this way over time. Would be great to see more content like this and to interact with the people contributing in that way.

Listed a 50-yr-old microfiche cabinet on local email list (Front Porch Forum) and guy who picked it up (on-time!) have me bottles of his homemade vinegar as a thank you.
