Please stop bypassing people's filters by adding * in the names, for example I filter out "Prince Andrew" changing that to "Prince Andr*w" means I need to see that nonce's name in my timeline.

I was reading @pluralistic 's recent blog and was reminded of this quote by Martin Luther King, Jr:

"The law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

@ChrisWere @JRHorsting indeed it is a lot of money in some countries, and I know some can feed 1 child 1 meal for 25¢ each day. That's what a few of the school lunch programs are able to do it for. 1 meal for 25¢

@JRHorsting how can we feed a child for a year with $92?

@aral thanks, I didn't fully understand Turkish requirements before posting. This is indeed a career limiting move against his political rival

@aral this has been happening in the Netherlands too, mostly with the degrees of the far right. They seem, after investigation, to have plajurized their bachelor's or master's thesis

Happy Holi

@thekitmalone Martin Niemöller was actually a Nazi, and after everyone was rounded up, he was rounded up because he wasn't enough of a Nazi

The "first they came for …" isn't a call to speak up for minorities, it's a warning that even if you are a Nazi and wanted to minorities rounded up, they will come for you anyway

@dalias found another one, a secure note keeping app, with e2e. Their privacy page says they have no external tracking. I'm sure the site believes it does. CloudFlare, however, is injecting all kinds of things.

@dalias someone shared an ephemeral ee2e messaging system in JS. They were very proud of it

I questioned the security, as it was hosted by CloudFlare and CloudFlare inserts arbitrary JS. I asked them about that, as it doesn't matter how secure the protocol is if the end is compromised. They stopped responding

@Natasha_Jay @aral I tried one of the test images, they suggested that the person lived in a reasonably high priced US neighbourhood and earned a not very high paying salary, yet subscribed to lots of luxury subscriptions

Annoyed to discover that I was blocked by @ErikvanStraten for boosting the Auschwitz Memorial account. The Holocaust is no excuse for the genocide in Gaza, neither should we ever forget the Holocaust

Not like we've conveniently forgotten all the genocides that happened between then and now, including in Asia and Africa

@GossiTheDog you forget that we measure with two standards. One for us 😇, and one for them 👿

@screwtape isn't this called polish notation? I remember when I first learned bison/flex (GNU YACC/lex equivalent) it got me to write a polish notation calculator which was basically this

@VeroniqueB99 @HistoPol if you only add English in a toot or AltText which is marked English, you can ask Mastodon to translate it if you default language is not English, I do believe it's only if your instance supports it. And as far as I've been able to find out most instances support it

I've found it handy to read toots posted in Chinese or Japanese

@C0redump good morning 🌄

@Radical_EgoCom I'm not familiar enough with Venezuela to give an answer. I know the US don't like him, so he must be doing something good

@farbel @Black_Flag innovations come from people, it doesn't matter what political system they have. You'll be horrified to read the technical, medical, and other scientific advance that has come from murderous fascist states, like 1940s Germany, and is still used in these fields today

Just because a system is communist doesn't affect innovation

@glow that's why I have a crate of Mate an home 😄

@dalias I haven't played with it in a while, and I believe it was also possible to set it from a website in JS with a xml config
