I'm sure fedi is very opinionated about this and I personally can't figure it out, so it feels right to ask:

What DNS resolver should I be using?

We even have a real-life experiment that proves paying farm workers a fair wage can be done. And prices went up so little, PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.

In 2005, tomato pickers in FL struck a deal with Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, & others) to guarantee higher wages.

🚨 For the first time since records began, the UK is no longer classified as an “Open” country in a leading global ranking of freedom of expression.

This latest drop continues a pattern of decline since 2014, across indicators including media freedom, internet censorship, academic freedom, freedom of assembly, and the public’s ability to access information and criticise those in power. It now places the UK in a second tier alongside Colombia, Nigeria, Romania, and South Africa.

In a country often hailed as the birthplace of Parliamentary democracy, this downgrade carries undeniable symbolic weight.

"God calls us to place the most vulnerable and marginalized at the center of our common life, and we must follow that command regardless of the dictates of any political party or earthly power. We are now being faced with a series of choices between the demands of the federal government and the teachings of Jesus, and that is no choice at all."--Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church.

Question for #math and #ComputerScience folks: What search terms should I use to find papers related to transitioning graphs to other graphs. Kinda like graph cellular automata but more the basic operations. I want to think about code AST transforms but would like to learn about general purpose graph transforms first. Boosts appreciated.

Men are not ok. Imagine "loving" your girlfriend so much you want to fucking STRANGLE her.

Someone should strangle those men in their sleep.

Had a dream where the moon was taking up the entire sky.

Then a dream where a dog detective needed help solving a case. But he could only bark and honestly the clues didn't add up like he thought they did.

> No one told Daniel Xu about what the previous owner had made in the space underneath his home. He couldn’t believe what he found.

> When Daniel Xu shuffled through a tiny side door into the dark crawl space underneath his newly purchased Melbourne home, he sensed there was a bit more inside than he expected.

> After his eyes adjusted and light filtered through, Xu was stunned: he’d just stumbled into one of the biggest homemade model railway sets he’d seen.
