So that's why the binary size for notepad jumped from 0.18k to 3.8Gb

The new world order.

... is no order, except the rule of might and violence.

Is this what you wanted from your governments?

@arstechnica

aside from the fact that this should not be "connected" anyway ...

.. isn't it a standard design principle that you need 2 vulnerabilities to be exploited before something serious can happen ?

@EUCommission

This is lovely and beautiful and hopeful.

Unless you're Palestinian.

----

Reminder that Von Der Leyen said Israel "made the desert bloom" which is Israeli propaganda that diminishes the actual presence and history of Palestinians.

@fsfe @EUCommission

Is software truly free, or at least independent, if it can't survive without state or corporate support?

Just thinking aloud ... not sure of the answer yet.

f**k #bidenharris for funding and arming this #genocide

and gaslighting us that they're sorry about it

Hi @libreoffice

Is this an issue that surprises you?

(which probably means the cause is at my end, but I have had it since 2018 when I reported a bug)

@aral

The UK is helping too by contributing to the bliss*.

* by arresting journalists who report on the horror of Israel's genocide, thereby making it easier to live in blissful ignorance

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral @FelisCatus

It's not complicated my friend.

What's complicated about :

* genocide and apartheid (ICJ, Amnesty, HRW)

* ethnic cleansing

* environmental vandalism

* targeting children, journalists and using human shields

* .. provably lying about it

* violating decades of UN resolutions

* bombing and assassination in other's territory

* $$billions and US weapons to Israel

* near total destruction of Palestinian territory (see map)

@Migueldeicaza

Are you listening #KamalaHarris #DNC ?

@rbreich

Palestine, what's left of it, doesn't.

What other #mastodon instances do people recommend?

Mastodon social has removed my posts three times now regarding the #genocide in #gaza.

My main topics - computing, generative art, python, human rights 🏳️🌈, climate emergency, food, coffee, pizza, anti fascism, anti imperialism, anti colonialism, music, dance, photography, graphics, UX design, typography, art and its history, .. and loving books.

And maths!

I like to discover new things, not sure if small instances limit discovery?

#mastodon social removed a post today.

It was a map showing the drastic shrinking of Palestinian territory since 1946.

I challenged it - and mastodon social agreed they were in error.

It seems some bad actor is going around taking down anything that highlights Israel's crimes - 75 years of crimes.

To that bad actor I say -- "The world is waking up to what Israel is, you can't stop that."

Here's the map again because the post was not restored.

#freepalestine, #BDS end the #genocide

@aral

I thought perhaps you had paraphrased, so I had a look.

You're right. The dev said "no".

What an ugly attitude.

Even if this doesn't effect me directly, I'm not going to recommend GNOME to anyone, because this attitude is not something I want to inflict on anyone else, nor reward it.

The word "centrist" didn't really sink in until I started seeing privileged people

- in the USA ignoring/denying the genocide their president has enabled

- in France not willing to work with the left to defeat the far right

- in the UK, speaking out against the disruption caused by environmental protestors because "economy", even supporting laws that erode our democratic rights to protest

to me "centrist" had come to mean dangerous through ignorance and selfishness

@arstechnica

Or we could just stop polluting so much.

57 corporations responsible for 80% of greenhouse emissions.

Just 57.

@itsfoss @nazokiyoubinbou

It is very revealing that this was designed to be in plain text intentionally.

It doesn't get past the many design reviews by accident.

@arstechnica

what could possibly go wrong?

@Mastodon oh boy!

" intellectual property matters .. digital assets* and quantum computing."
