EU leaving Fediverse (Mastodon & PeerTube) because no one wants to operate the servers
“In recent years, a total of 40 institutions have opened an account with EU Voice, including the EU Data Protection Supervisor, the European Court of Justice and the EU Commission. The video platform, on the other hand, was used by six institutions … the EU institutions were thus the largest group of public institutions in the Fediverse worldwide.”
Blackthorne: Daily showers are purely ‘performative’ and have no real health benefit, experts insist.

I've been lying to my dogs for years. Every time they bark I say "I know, I know".
But I don't know.
I don't know at all!

People who think it’s a good idea to let police/national guard on college campuses haven’t paid attention to news in the last 50+ years.
🎙️ Fresh Fusion #Podcast:
A tale of two Threads: one—the #Threadiverse—is a subportion of the Fediverse dedicated to replicating the kind of experiences we’re familiar with on Reddit, Hacker News, and the like; the other is Meta’s fast-growing competitor to X. Not confusing at all! 😂
And in Fusion+: my spoiler-light review of Alex Garland’s heady movie #CivilWar and the fascinating metanarrative it offers on the nature of journalism, activism, and the quest for Truth.
Most BLM protesters were white people advocating for Black civil rights.♥️ All their lives, they thought that they had the 1st amendment right to protest, because they had seen white supremacists march without being beaten by cops. They didn't realize that the right to free speech depends heavily on what you are speaking about, and who you are speaking for.
Now I'm seeing college professors and students learn the same lesson about what US cops will do to you if you speak up for the wrong thing.

Like, let's not forget that Obama threatened to withhold weapons from Israel and Netanyahu was still able to circumvent Obama and get the weapons that he wanted. That's the system that people are fighting against.
If there's one thing I hope that people have picked up on, it's that they're not just fighting Biden for change, they're fighting decades old institutions which are well connected and funded for change, which is a lot harder than trying to convince 1 person to change their policy.
When you can understand why there weren't mass arrests of the proud boys, or mass arrests at Jan 6, but there were mass arrests at BLM protests, and there are mass arrests on college campuses... you'll be one step closer to understanding free speech in America.

Israel has accused more than 2,135 of the agency's staff of being members of Hamas or #Palestine Islamic Jihad...But the UN's independent review, led by a former French foreign minister, said Israel was yet to provide "supporting evidence" for this claim.
#Israel has also been accused of slowing deliveries by subjecting trucks to complex and arbitrary checks, and last month the UN's top court ordered it to enable the unhindered flow of aid into #Gaza
So on iOS 17.5 beta 3, #Apple has changed the name for the Pride wallpaper collection to just “Rainbow” and the description to “Inspired by the colors of the rainbow flag” when you change the language to Mainland Simplified Chinese AND Malay.
Strangely, the original name and description is unchanged in Arabic and Russian.
The name & description remains the same if your phone language setting is in English in Malaysia.
