Whether peaceful or violent, a protest that doesn't cause a ruckus is an ineffective protest. In order for a protest to be successful, it has to inconvenience society, whether it's a violent protest or a peaceful one.

A mind boggling admission that academic publishing is burned out. Can you imagine using a set text that's produced by a chatbot? Pathetic.
MDPI already make peer review a perfunctory performative exercise, and other publishers will adopt the 5 day super fast turnaround to make the whole thing a joke for ordinary academics. Gold standard will be super expensive APCs for real peer review for an exclusive club of rich universities.

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's #Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide
"Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn't consider it genocide?" said one researcher. "No."

"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

I don’t think I will ever write a better talk title or description than this one for my opening keynote at Dokutech¹ in 2016 (I’m going through all the past events Laura and I spoke at over the last decade and making sure the links work for the Kitten² version of the site):
Excuse Me, Your Unicorn Keeps Shitting In My Back Yard, Can He Please Not?
The matrix is inverted and my teddy bear is spying on me. Why am I covered in unicorn shit? I was only browsing the web. No, I do not want another cookie. Why are you feeding me cookies? Is that my treadmill? Am I the milk of magnesia to your unicorn’s constipation? How can you hear me when I’m not saying anything? I can’t seem to look away. Hello, White Man on the Cloud! Why can He see me, but I can’t see Him? Who, exactly, is getting smarter about whom? And why is Oettinger’s donut so red?

Israelische Luftwaffe attackiert Häfen im Jemen
Israel hat im Jemen nach eigenen Angaben mehrere von der radikal-islamischen Huthi-Miliz kontrollierte Häfen angegriffen. Dabei seien schwere Schäden entstanden, teilte das Verteidigungsministerium mit. Es drohte zugleich damit, Jagd auf Huthi-Anführer Abdul Malik al-Huthi zu machen und diesen zu töten. Der Huthi-Kanal Al-Masirah berichtete, die Häfen von Hodeida un…

Israel launched dozens of airstrikes across northern and southern Gaza on Friday, killing more than 93 people and wounding hundreds -- attacks that Israeli officials described as a prelude to a larger military campaign in the territory aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages.
Also on Friday, Israel struck two ports in Yemen that it said were used by the Houthi militant group to transfer weapons.
I am very happy that today we merged the pull request switching the Mastodon frontend build chain from the very old (and outdated) Webpack 4 to @vite ⚡️
It is not visible to end-users but it will greatly improve the developer experience with working on the Mastodon frontend and opens the door for many good things.
I started the initial work 2 years ago, then @chaosexanima took over and got it over the finish line 🚀

Pues mi fin de semana ha comenzado sacudiéndome otro grillete más de las cadenas que las grandes tecnológicas utilizan para atraernos a todes y atarnos en las tinieblas, en la Tierra de Mordor donde se extienden las Sombras.
Espera, que me he liao, que eso es de otra movida. Pero bueno, vosotres me entendéis.
@miguelespigado Gracias, Miguel. En mi caso no tiene demasiado mérito, porque mis contactos se reducen a un puñado de personas que ya se ha descargado Signal o están dispuestos a contactar vía sms (que ahora con los chat rcs resulta igual que Whatsapp). Es cierto que tenía algún grupo interesante, pero nada que me suponga demasiado problema.
Y ánimo si un día te lanzas a la piscina.

@forgejo my only gotcha so far is that lack of use of an sshkey for a couple of weeks invalidates it and you have to start all over again. I was working on my laptop and then sick and then this morning went to my office where my real computer is and boom, access denied. Annoying.
That being said, very happy with the switch to codeberg otherwise.
We are not aware of key invalidation due to inactivity. Can you elaborate on your problem?
@inventaire
wild tangent, but:
considering this recent news about "Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor", what is the policy of codeberg about this issues?

The image features a stark black background with bold red text. At the top, a quote is prominently displayed: "YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO START SLITTING THROATS ON DAY ONE." Below the quote, the name "Ron DeSantis" is written in red, followed by the title "Republican presidential candidate" in smaller red text. The text is centered and occupies a significant portion of the image, creating a strong visual impact. The overall color scheme is high-contrast, with the red text standing out against the black background. The image includes two blurred faces, one on the left and one on the right, with the right face partially illuminated in red.
