oh, huh, polls don't work. Well, other than the install being perpetually borked, I guess there has to be one L for Friendica in comparison to Mastodon.
man, when even Calgary is putting out material like this, you know you done goofed. Trump's going to do a better job of uniting west and east in this country than any Canadian official ever has.
Trend of booing U.S. national anthem at pro sporting events continues as trade war heats up Fans at Scotiabank Arena loudly booed during the American national anthem before the Toronto Raptors hosted the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. #sports #politics #music #Toronto #LosAngeles cbc.ca/sports/fans-booing-amer…
The original developers of Disco Elysium that got booted by their corrupt CEO have uploaded the game to Archive.org, with the labels "anti capitalism" and "communism" and encouraging people to grab it for free.
Support the original creators, such as Martin Luiga on Patreon, instead of lining the pockets of the CEO that illegally used funds from the company's own...
People will criticize countries they've been taught to hate for censoring the internet — protecting themselves in part against American bad actors. We don't censor anything, they say. We can access any part of the internet we want!
Yeah, well, that's because when the United States wants to censor something, it just stops existing. And now we're living through the greatest bout of American censorship likely in history. Protect your data. Back up what is important to you. This isn't going to end nicely.
Given how fast valuable information is disappearing off the web under the new US administration, I wrote a short note about how to make offline backups of websites, from simple screenshots and PDFs to full backups using wget.
The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal.
The move aims to ensure that no “forbidden terms” appear in the work. Banned terms must be scrubbed.
but we Nazi name-callers were alarmist. After all, the Nazi movement was in the early 1900s! Precise semantics mean *everything* when you're collectively being poured into a meat grinder.
#GeneralAction now! It couldnt be any more obvious that we need to shut this down before it hurts anyone else. STRIKE NOW, before neoliberals find compromise with fascists and sell us all up the river.
good thing I don't tend to publish in US journals. And I am going to start requiring authors to use these terms in my capacity as editor (e.g. when describing their samples)
when the nazis rose to power the first thing they burned were the elaborate scientific data on gender and transgender research
this is the digital version of the same thing. Just because the same info exists "somewhere else" doesn't make it less bad to remove it from the central perhaps most easy to find library
If I were in their position I might use synonyms (e.g. "pregnant individuals" instead of "pregnant people") or homoglyphs to make the banned terms impossible to search for (e.g. "ᏞԌΒΤ"). It would take someone reading through the entire paper to catch the substitutions.
I hope scientists take the opportunity to be sneaky or maliciously compliant/incompetent to defeat the intention of this order.
A great way to promote the scientific journals of the rest of the world. Being a European, I only can thank #Trump for doing that. The European Gouverments were not able to come up with something similarly effective.
Okay, so in Friendica, you can give your posts titles — which is awesome, makes it feel more like a blog potentially if you wanted to use it that way. But those titles don't work along with text in Mastodon, and maybe other ActivityPub settings, so unless you want your post to only be a hyperlink title to the microbloggers, you gotta just do the text thing. Which is fine I guess.
I'm still not actually sure if my profile picture is showing up for anyone but me. On my Mastodon account, I can't see it, which is odd. I wonder if it'll refresh at some point.
Oh, it's working for me now. I guess the servers just hadn't shared you yet. Yours, that is, not mine. How did you set your profile picture? Upload or link?
No posts is normal, it's just how federation be. Try posting something now, it should come through.
Tried again. Now to get the dang MSMTP shit to work... I set up a Mailu server and while I can access the admin control panel through the Cloudflare tunnel I have set up for its HTTP and HTTPS ports, I can't seem to get the mail account to resolve in Thunderbird. The alternative is just using my Disroot account as an admin account for Friendica but I can't seem to get that working either.
I'm a #Marxist #marten ( #furry ) here to talk about politics, #tabletop games, #Linux, and to help along my fellow anticapitalists.
My politics are probably a little more insane than yours, but that's okay; workersofthe.world is open to all revolutionary anticapitalists who stand by the entirety of the working class without discrimination.
Give my Youtube channel a look; you'll get to know me pretty quickly through my incredible #Blender skills and unabashed #socialism .
