What I need from the general populace is a vast understanding of the fact that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is nowhere near as cut and dry as we are pretending it is.
It goes back millennia and requires so unbelievably much historical and theological understanding that jumping in feet first on the latest active conflict and demanding this, that, or the other thing end in your favor will be the fastest way to be laughed out the door regardless of which side of the aisle you land on.
The largest folly I come across is people forgetting that by and large— both Judaism and Islam are ethno-religions.
You see it so often in public forum rules… “remember the person.”
Why are so many forgetting the people now??
No matter what, Palestine/israel/ or fuck let’s call a spade a spade… CANAAN… is a society built around religion— in that sense, whether you agree with either religion or not… you need to take care in what comes out your mouth— internet or otherwise.
Real people who are actually affected by these things can see you.
Do any of the various #federated socials have the ability for a user to "watch" a post for updates (replies) without replying to the post yourself?
Sometimes I'll see a post where someone asks an interesting question, the answer to which I hope to see - however I have nothing of value to contribute, so I don't post.
So I've decided to start that #blog I was pondering a couple of weeks ago. I'm probably going to go with #WriteFreely due to it being #Foss, #Federated and #SelfHosted. Unfortunately, not the simplest thing to set up from the #Docker image available (I think I should be able to tweak the Dockerfile to fix that though)
So Tumblr is struggling to be sustainable with 0.2% of users? Didn't they decided not to integrate ActivityPub? I'm not saying they are meeting their downfall, probably not for another year but it doesn't look good. The same thing was said by Flickr dev to add ActivityPub support but seems to also have abandoned that idea.
Today's adventure will be making kimchi and figuring out what to do with my bok choy and shishito peppers.
I'm thinking of adding some of the Bok Choy to the kimchi... I've only got normal green cabbage, not Napa... so it's already bastardized-- not worried about that.
What should I do with the rest of the Bok Choy, though? My husband and I bought a bunch of heads, and since I forgot to cook him some to take to work this week, I have to figure out what to do with it. I don't particularly want to just stir fry it, but I suppose I could.
As for the shishitos... I'm not a big fan, myself... that's my husband. I gotta figure out something I can do that will hold til Friday at the very least.
FUCK. I also have a butternut squash and two acorn squash I need to figure out what to do with.
Discord being down is a reminder and good a time as any to try out some decentralized alternatives.
Have you ever heard of @matrix or @element ?
The protocol is run by a nonprofit foundation and it shares similarities with #Discord except it's self hosted and #federated.
Made a "Space" that works kind of like a Discord server here:
I had positive experiences with Local Hubs in "Computing within Limits", hackathons, Wikimedia, #CCC Congress everywhere... now looking forward to testing this out with #RIPE!
