Authorities in Moscow on Tuesday designated Yale University as an “undesirable” organization, accusing the U.S. institution of trying to destabilize the country and training Russian activists to oppose the Kremlin.
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/b… 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/up…]. I label this as behavior undertaken to reduce cognitive dissonance. Many delusional beliefs are in this service. I think "modern ennui" is cognitive dissonance
3/ arising from the natural understanding that structural inequality is unreasonable. I believe we know right from wrong naturally. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice," inspires some but strikes me as a self-serving excuse for slow progress. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississi…] I believe that community is an essential element of humanity, that there have been moral human societies throughout history. We happen to live in & be most familiar with
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.
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.

Have you ever thought to yourself "wow, I have these (CPUID|MIDR|marchid) values and have no idea what they mean"?
Now there's a Rust library to solve your weirdly specific problem!
Introducing #libcpuname, a Rust crate with no dependencies that can translate between those values and the name of the referred-to vendor, chip, and core!
The goal of this is to provide an easy way for projects like CPU-X to fetch the name of a CPU's microarchitecture and chip without needing to maintain their own lookup tables.
By default, the only module enabled is the module that matches the compiler target, but all modules can be toggled if desired. There's also a no_std mode (via the "std" feature) for embedded environments.

Do you remember when that obvious nazi and mediocre intellect was going on about his "X: the Everything App" as he acquired Twitter and started sacking off all the workers?
Guess that's something else of his that came to nothing but the Press gave him the benefit of a doubt over....
