Impunity is never a good idea.
With soldiers posting their war crimes on social media it gets even worse.
This is impunity and rubbing it in.

Received an email from vimeo.
"Your video may contain music thatโs protected by copyright"
An AI had flagged it.
This is completely untrue. In the video description i had specified the music used. It is creative commons licensed music from ccmixter.
The AI wasn't even able to read through the video description.
Wrote them an appeal. An employ cleared the flag the next day.
This nonsense made me and a vimeo employ waste time.

"Instead of holding the state accountable for what is a world-historical failure to control disease, instead of demanding a new approach to begin mitigating these unprecedented levels of public illness, the public is distracted with mocking, marginalizing, criminalizing, and attacking disabled people. Who, to be clear, are already completely excised from most forms of public life."

Tamberi, who threw up blood all night and does not have a diagnosis what it is, is competing in the high jump competition tonight in #Paris2024.
Similar message to Lyles running the 200 meters with COVID.
Here we agree with @broadwaybabyto:
"Normalize resting when sick!"
@beadsland Damn, forgot the link.

"Throughout the nearly seven-hour hearing, masked attendees were subjected to ongoing harassment. Some immunocompromised individuals were intentionally coughed on. Ban supporters told mask-wearers they couldn't wait for their masks to be removed. Ban supporters pointed at, laughed at, filmed disabled attendees. They made discriminatory remarks, even yelling out to arrest those in masks"
Mask bans are a symptom of impending fascism. Fight them. With all u got.

"1.5C is done. 2C is probably done. But we arenโt yet committed to the worst futures. Because how we respond to conditions plays a huge part in what the future looks like, even with lots of greenhouse gases in the air & a far more dangerous climate.
But there is absolutely no evidence that we can do this solely within the confines of liberal reformism.
Because liberal reformism, alongside its environmental failures, is leading us to fascism."

Endlich stinkt es beim Morgenspaziergang nicht mehr nach verfaultem Bรคrlauch, stattdessen riecht es himmlisch nach Baldrian.
"the Kanak people are still fighting against colonial rule, with barricades & clashes all over the main island. The most recent upsurge of resistance began with a French government attempt to give voting rights to a large number of white French settlers, which would lead to fewer obstructions on policy issues. Kanaky is treated like a resource colony that France exploits mostly for its nickel reserves. Tesla & a Swiss consortium are both involved in nickel mining there."
Communication habits among leftist #activists that i no longer understand:
Why still use twitter, instagram, facebook to promote stuff? Steal your data, you are their product.
Use the Fediverse instead. (Blsky no better)
Why still use telegram, whatsapp to chat, organise? Encryption iffy, cannot be trusted.
Use @signalapp instead.
Why still use GoogleDocs to collaborate on texts, documents? Steal your data, track you.
Use @cryptpad instead.
We have the tools for better #OpSec.
"Understanding that capitalism is inherently unstable, we can observe that it comes into crisis when the contradiction between accumulation and exploitation reaches a level that is unsustainable, expressed as overproduction, diminishing profits, and unemployment, on the one hand, and widening wealth gaps, racial segregation, policing of poor communities of color, on the other."

@puniko Blende die meist auch aus, aber manchmal dringt sie doch noch durch zu mir.
Liebes coop
Wie lange wollt ihr uns eigentlich noch mit eurer Tsch Tsch Werbung nerven?! Die war รผbrigens nie nicht cringe.
"I have been reporting on political dissent and violent policing for 15 years, particularly in New York City. Compared to Tuesday night, I have never witnessed, at the scene of a protest, the use of police power so disproportionate to the type of demonstration taking place.
Make no mistake: This is an authoritarian escalation."

At least they did not use a bedbug, me thinks.
@pfefferle I am probably too stupid and this is already possible. But how can NOT post certain articles?
Gamification is dangerous, some people are going completely nuts on #Duolingo.
I think i survived april fools day without falling for a hoax. But on hyperallergic they sure had some zingers.
