Should we have taken an incremental approach to the industrial scale massacres of the 20th century?

@jeffowski

I wish "each other" included Palestinians too.

@WarnerCrocker @dennyhenke

if we were arguing about mortgage rates or the balance of income vs wealth taxes .. sure, we can go all "it's complicated"

but this is genocide

and 75 years of absolute blood soaked humiliation, murder, oppression, apartheid and ethnic cleansing

the usual arguments of "oh well, it's complicated" don't stand up in that context

but I do welcome your calm and considered approach - thank you

@WarnerCrocker @dennyhenke

"liberal interventionism"

@rbreich

Palestine, what's left of it, doesn't.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel

I'd like the #mastodon social moderators to reflect on their recent removal of posts and ask themselves if they are on the right side of history.

@BeAware

Who or what is Eugen?

What other #mastodon instances do people recommend?

Mastodon social has removed my posts three times now regarding the #genocide in #gaza.

My main topics - computing, generative art, python, human rights 🏳️🌈, climate emergency, food, coffee, pizza, anti fascism, anti imperialism, anti colonialism, music, dance, photography, graphics, UX design, typography, art and its history, .. and loving books.

And maths!

I like to discover new things, not sure if small instances limit discovery?

"US Democratic Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris has condemned Israel’s attack on a school in Gaza"

Did not expect #KamalaHarris to do this.

Maybe things are changing? Maybe I'm being too optimistic?

@gvwilson

In my experience starting from the conceptual "big picture" of risk (assessment, appetite, management, etc) ...

Then within that painting the picture of common tasks, governance, controls, validation, etc .. provides a useful "map" that is applicable to any scenario.

Then finally "instancing" these with examples specific to data science, engineering and app dev illustrates the concepts.

The bottom up approach too often seen in the dev community isn't helpful in my experience.

#mastodon social removed a post today.

It was a map showing the drastic shrinking of Palestinian territory since 1946.

I challenged it - and mastodon social agreed they were in error.

It seems some bad actor is going around taking down anything that highlights Israel's crimes - 75 years of crimes.

To that bad actor I say -- "The world is waking up to what Israel is, you can't stop that."

Here's the map again because the post was not restored.

#freepalestine, #BDS end the #genocide

@aral

I thought perhaps you had paraphrased, so I had a look.

You're right. The dev said "no".

What an ugly attitude.

Even if this doesn't effect me directly, I'm not going to recommend GNOME to anyone, because this attitude is not something I want to inflict on anyone else, nor reward it.

The word "centrist" didn't really sink in until I started seeing privileged people

- in the USA ignoring/denying the genocide their president has enabled

- in France not willing to work with the left to defeat the far right

- in the UK, speaking out against the disruption caused by environmental protestors because "economy", even supporting laws that erode our democratic rights to protest

to me "centrist" had come to mean dangerous through ignorance and selfishness

@adamconover

does that mean a gap has opened up for a new quality search engine?

@pvonhellermannn

For those who don't know.

1. The West Bank is not Gaza. And there is no Hamas there.

2. This didn't start on Oct 7. We've had 75 years of it.

@thomasfuchs

For anyone who doesn't have the context, the rector is an experienced surgeon and was providing medical aid under the Israeli onslaught.

What Germany and others are afraid of is his testimony.

The truth.

@Mastodon oh boy!

@blogdiva Western media is so depressing when it comes to any issue regarding the middle east.

Even with low expectations, they have surprised even me on how low they will go.
