mention of anti-trans rhetoric in order to refute it
Our stance on the 'transgender question' is that it's not a question. Trans rights are human rights. Trans lives are precious. Trans people are beautiful, and endlessly worthy of love, respect, and care. That is an unequivocal, simple truth.

Happy Terry Pratchett Day, on what would have been his 77th birthday.

Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.
Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.
Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.
A few things to be wary of:
- People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
- People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
- Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.
New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable
A groundbreaking study published in the journal PNAS is overturning traditional wisdom regarding the origins and inevitability of wealth inequality. Based on a massive dataset of over 50,000 houses in some 1,000 archaeological sites worldwide, the study suggests that economic inequality is not an inevitable result of societal advancement, agriculture, or population...

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.
If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.
If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.
This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.
In 2025 - when someone in a minority sounds alarm bells about someone with a HUGE following entering a (mostly) diverse, welcome hobby space - LISTEN TO THEM.
The Racist & Fascist activity of a particular YouTuber / Twitch streamer are well known by now.
Go look for yourself.
Minority groups are too busy surviving to give Racism and Fascism 101 lessons to the 'Well Actually' crowd.

Da muss man sich in der Tat fragen, warum sich die meisten Politiker wenden und sträuben, faule Ausreden benutzen, Relativierungen verwenden,, und alles tun, um ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD zu verhindern.
Dabei könnte ein Antrag zum Verbot längst gestellt sein. 🙄
"Es gibt auch keine gesetzliche Vorschrift, die eine Einstufung als „Verdachtsfall“, „gesichert extremistisch“ oder ein Gutachten des Verfassungsschutzes fordert."
Der Brand. Am 26. April 1937 flog die deutsche Legion Condor einen verheerenden Luftangriff gegen die baskische Kleinstadt #Guernica.

The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;
- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)
- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days
- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity
And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label from 20 June 2025, which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score.

Ich habe in meinem Umfeld einen Menschen, der lange Zeit in einer Behindertenwerkstatt war. Er ging dort ein. Ein MA beobachtete das und verschaffte ihm ein Praktikum in einer Meisterei für 3 Wochen. Daraus wurden 3 Monate und am Ende stand das Angebot einer Ausbildung.
Und die Behindertenwerkstatt? Hat erklärt, man könne ihn nicht rauslassen, sie haben ja schließlich einen Vertrag.
