#Conte contro #Trump: “Copre il genocida Bibi”.
“Quando parlo di #genocidio lo dico da giurista. Quando ci si preoccupa dell’#antisemitismo bisognerebbe contrastare la condotta criminale di #Netanyahu”. E il governo italiano “vergognosamente vigliacco e immobile: si è astenuto per tre volte sulla risoluzione di condanna di #Israele. L’ultima telefonata di #Meloni che ha chiesto un cessate il fuoco? Che vuol dire chiedere? Bisogna condannare come si è fatto con #Putin”.

The image features a stylized logo with a blue bird-like figure, which is part of the Mozilla Firefox logo. The bird is depicted in a circular motion, with its head facing to the right and its body forming a loop. The bird's wings are spread out, and it holds a white envelope in its beak, symbolizing email. The background is a gradient transitioning from blue on the left to purple on the right, providing a vibrant contrast to the logo. The overall design is modern and sleek, with smooth curves and a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.

in reply to Ingrid Glomp • • •Politiker wie Merz leben in einer gut abgeschirmten, wohlklimatisierten Blase. "Heiß" existiert für die maximal auf den drei Metern von der angenehm temperierten Limousine ins ebenso angenehm temperierte Gebäude.
Entsprechend fehlt ihnen auch jede Vorstellung, was es bedeutet, Hitze nicht ausweichen zu können. Und mangels Vorstellung können sie auch keine Empathie entwickeln (wobei ich bei Gestalten wie Merz annehme, dass sie aufkeimende Empathie sowieso als Schwäche bekämpfen).
