Israel is committing a fucking genocide. This is not a judgement call, this is not a debatable question.

It's a fucking genocide.

Committed by the most famous victims of genocide in western history.

did you survive #Whamageddon

Librarians get it ...

"Yesterday, President Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu and openly endorsed the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. He called it “voluntary” even as Israel enforces a medical siege, blocks food and fuel, and leaves children dying of hypothermia in flooded tents.

“More than half of Gaza will leave if given the opportunity,” Trump claimed, suggesting Palestinians would choose to abandon their homeland for “a better climate.” He praised Israel for “living up to the [ceasefire] plan 100 percent” even as authorities have documented 969 Israeli violations over 80 days, including 418 Palestinians killed and 1,141 wounded since the so-called “ceasefire” began.

Mainstream media has largely ignored this monumental moment: a US president openly supporting ethnic cleansing while Israel weaponizes humanitarian deprivation to force migration."

An act of civil positivity. Bravo. Up a side street in the small coastal village of Portmahomack lives this handsome beast. Most of the full time residents don’t know it’s here! #dragoninahedge #easterross

@sxa @ben I couldn't find a way to do this with signal for my tablet sadly, not sure if I tried WhatsApp after that failed

This could be huge... Looking forward to details, if anyone knows of it not behind a pay wall

@Tattooed_Mummy I've been meaning to move off it for ages, mostly still unsure of where to move to.
I don't really want to block threads and bluesky as ideally I'd like to see that goal succeed, but realistically they don't seem to actually want to federate but only exploit, so probably should just move anywhere else and be done with it.
Project for next week perhaps...

When was the last time you used actual money in a shop? #poll

Think Office365 is just about Word, Outlook and Teams? What if we told you it can also be used by your employer to spy on you? https://privacyinternational.org/long-read/4909/wfh-watched-home-office-365-and-workplace-surveillance-creep

I’ve been gifted this handy reference. Honestly a bit surprised by how much stuff is lickable.

Public service announcement

What are the currently maintained fediverse android clients, and have any of them implemented quote posts yet?

EDIT:

Has them: official mastodon client, fedilab, moshidon, phanpy, Pachli (Tusky fork)

Does not have them: Tusky, Elk, Trunks, Subway Tooter

Side note - wow there are lots of mobile fedi apps!

@sxa JetBrains (pycharm and Rider to match python and dotnet). It supports github prs but not bitbucket which were moving out of

@sxa I've been using it for migrations recently, but otherwise mostly don't see the need as cloning is rare and the git commands work well. Might use it more for prs I guess, but more likely to use my ide support once we've finished migrating

@killvore @stuart pretty sure the Mythical Man Month made statements about this in '75, and Bill Gates criticised IBM paying per line of code in early DOS about then too...

Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people. 💕

@kim @Tattooed_Mummy oh haven't actually tried that. Thanks for the idea
