@darrenmorin If you're serious about upsetting the manchild, rather point out his xenophopia, racism, anti-semitism, etc etc

It's 2024, you don't have to say "X formerly known as Twitter" anymore. If someone still doesn't know that, they never will.

@directhex Your payment methods are teh stink.

@mawkler @signalapp Just shows you how messed up the police are everywhere.

Here is the South African complaint against Israel to the International Court of Justice in full: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231228-app-01-00-en.pdf

Statement from the ICJ: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231229-pre-01-00-en.pdf

Since ICJ is a judicial organ of the UN, I'm not sure if it's subject to veto from the US, so the charge itself might not go far, but it's still the right thing to do.

@neil Need to play ads to telemarketers before rejecting their call.

I used to love this song as a child, and the older I get the more I learned about the stuff they're singing about. https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g?si=RjZxkfiOs72REBuq

@dansup Sounds very reasonable! An all out block would be too much. At least having to unblock it will give users a chance to pause and think about the dangers.

Today is going to be a loooong day.

More attacks by Israel on journalists, I hope they are made to pay for all their war crimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFTrZbP-KTQ

The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is the day we threaten the continuing of our species
In that bleak world, arms-bearing, resource-hungry people and nations would be prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices, and would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment
Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again embraces the cosmic perspective: a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither above, nor below; but within." -Neil deGrasse Tyson / Avenged Sevenfold

There are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on the worldโ€™s beaches
More stars in the Universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed
More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived
...

When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets and planets
Each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet, choreographed by the forces of gravity
I see beyond the plight of humans
I see a Universe ever-expanding, with its galaxies embedded within the ever-stretching four-dimensional fabric of space and time
However big our world is, our hearts, our minds, our outsize atlases, the universe is even bigger
...

Do we admit that our thoughts and behaviors spring from a belief that the world revolves around us?
Each fabricated conflict, self-murdering bomb, vanished airplane
Every fictionalized dictator, biased or partisan, and wayward son
Are part of the curtains of societyโ€™s racial, ethnic, religious, national and cultural conflicts
And you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers
...

"We have one collective hope: the Earth; and yet, uncounted people remain hopeless
Famine and calamity abound
Sufferers hurl themselves into the arms of war
People kill and get killed in the name of someone elseโ€™s concept of God
...

@danie10 I would've never missed it hah!

re: A Debian DM...
@kathenas I believe your question has been thoroughly answered. Again, DDs and DMs are two completely different concepts. A DD is basically a synonym for a project member, DM status only grants some upload rights and nothing more. The purpose of DM status specifically needs to be light to grant new uploaders some autonomy, show that they can work alone and take some load off of their sponsors, and it has proven to work well.

re: A Debian DM...
@kathenas Yes, gaining DM rights requires some trust and technical skills. This is needed so that not just everyone can upload and abuse upload rights to the archives. DM also only get very limited upload rights compared to an uploading DD. As for the debian-project list, it is open for anyone to subscribe to.
