#Fascism is growing worldwide

Its strength is #ignorance and #bigotry. Those aren't new but #socialMedia accelerates them

Politically weaponized indecency

But a weakness of fascism is it's built on #hate so it has to consume endlessly. It can't create. New enemies must be made forever

Thus:

Infighting

Example:

Nazi edgelord manchild #Musk isn't bff with #Trump now

And:

"Russian #propaganda outlets reportedly ordered to target Trump after he criticised #Putin"

Stephen O'Grady talks about how Gen AI tools break two common constants with developer tools: they are willing to flit between Gen AI tools and they are willing to pay for them. This implies that it's not too late for new tools to appear, and that enterprise adoption will be slowed by a lack of consensus on which direction to go.

I think the recent interest in Claude-code is partly because it isnโ€™t an IDE, itโ€™s a command line building block that can be built into other existing tools and as a basis for new open source tools.

Das Bild zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus einer Zeitung, auf der in groรŸen, schwarzen Buchstaben der Titel "Feenstaub in der Schweizer Bahn" steht. Darรผber befindet sich der Name "GLร–SSLI" in blauer Schrift. Der Text ist in deutscher Sprache und scheint sich mit einem Thema zu befassen, das mit der Schweizer Bahn und mรถglicherweise mit Feenstaub zu tun hat. Der Hintergrund des Textes ist weiรŸ, und die Schrift ist klar und gut lesbar.

Arpineh Masihi, a mother of four children born in the U.S., was born in Iran but has been in the United States since she was 3 years old. She became a target for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers due to crimes committed 17 years ago, and was arrested in June as part of Trump's controversial immigration crackdown.

#throwbackthursday to 2012

The first pair of socks I've made from handspun yarn. I was a rather novice spinner back then and the yarn wasn't quite up to the task so the socks didn't last very long.

But I learned a ton through this project.

And it was real slow fashion - spinning the yarn (a 3-ply), took as long as knitting the socks.

The image shows a pair of knitted socks worn by a person, with their feet resting on a surface. The socks are a light green color with a mix of shades, featuring a detailed openwork pattern that includes small holes and intricate designs. The texture of the yarn is visible, indicating a soft and cozy material. The socks have a ribbed cuff at the top, which appears to be snug around the ankles. The background includes a grassy area and a metal railing, suggesting an outdoor setting, possibly a patio or garden. There are also metal buckets visible in the background, adding to the outdoor ambiance. The focus is on the socks, highlighting their craftsmanship and design.

Announcing: badges.fediverse.games!


We are now running an instance of the wonderful badgefed from @vocalcat! Badgefed is a federated credential issuing platform. We'll be using this to recognise contributions (financial, material or intellectual) to both our platforms as well as the Fediverse as a whole, with a focus on contributions to gaming community here across the Fediverse.

The software is still in fairly early development, so you can consider this service to more or less be pre-alpha. There may be breaking changes, and I'll be doing my best to help the project along the way with my (decidedly amateur) skills.

I've issued one test badge to myself (since I contribute financially to the services, surely I should get a badge too ;) ), you can check it out at badges.fediverse.games/grant/bโ€ฆ to see what they look like in the wild.

What do you want to see recognised? Let me know below!

2/special purpose.] Cognitive dissonance is the opposite of peace of mind. I believe that cognitive dissonance is existentially painful; reduction of or distraction from cognitive dissonance is essential. The notion of white supremacy was invented to legitimize the greed for unlimited slave labor [reference sceneonradio.org/wp-content/upโ€ฆ]. I label this as behavior undertaken to reduce cognitive dissonance. Many delusional beliefs are in this service. I think "modern ennui" is cognitive dissonance

4/ societies built on immorality. To ascribe the inequities of our society onto the entire universe is narrow minded hubris. I can understand taking comfort from the adage. We know that the moral stances we take may not bear fruit until after we have passed. Belief that the arc is long & bending towards justice offers solace & encouragement to try our best anyway. My critique stems from a separation of means & ends. It is always the time to do good works, no matter the results, now or ever.
in reply to Rob ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ Rartsy Humanist

Fedi weirdness broke the thread. If I had piece of mind this would evolve into a longer essay on peace of mind vs. cognitive dissonance being the core driver of human behavior.

In a toot conversation a month or so ago I compared my self care to the lack of societal progress, because I see so many others also suffering even if they appear privileged. It's all relative.

5/5 for now
