Hi, I am Darth ŠČ! Welcome to my PeerTube channel! As a gamer and geek with a passion for Linux and free software, I actively engage in gaming and Linux discussions. I started this channel to share...
The White Hats are culling the traitors out of the political herd for We The People & the world to see & ostracize. May they never be able to walk on the streets of this country without feeling the scorn of patriots.
so i shared a video of nintendo's luigi shooting people in a cartoon version of a "billionaire convention" and they completely deleted my account and all 7 of the accounts connected to it (some were parking usernames that bad actors liked to steal from me)
“I can’t leave Substack, the alternatives charge monthly fees!”
For a mid-sized paid newsletter, you will pay: Ghost Pro: $149–$269/month Beehiiv: $131–$218/month Buttondown: $239/month Mailchimp: $285/month Substack: $700/month
Cheapest option is self-hosting, though of course there is added time cost and a technical barrier to entry. I pay $100–$150/mo to self-host Ghost with a bit over 25,000 subscribers.
All of this is true, but I'd guess that most of those making that complaint have a small enough number of subscribers that they're "free" on the substack plan. To move from $0 to even a $50/month Ghost Pro entry level plan for the same number of users is a prohibitive jump in out-of-pocket costs.
Oh neat. I've been aware of this for a while and I'm glad in an academic sense that it exists. I guess I would need more people that I care about who are on Bluesky.
As an academic, there are several users on Bluesky I would like to follow. Sadly very few are bridged for now. Hopefully all Bluesky accounts will be open for bridging at some point.
Another advantage is that thanks to Bridgy I can convince my partner to join Mastodon instead of Bluesky to promote her work, as the reach is the same on either platform.
Somewhat selfishly, I'd suggest she try Mbin instead. It allows her to interact with both the microblog side of the fediverse (including bridges) and the thread side, from the same interface.
She's not interested in using any social media at all, she just wants a place to toot about her publications because it's part of the job. So some Mastodon instance specific to her field is pretty much as good as it gets for her usecase. As an academic the domain-specific Mastodon instances are pretty great.
THIS is what I keep telling people. The fediverse will win in the end as long as it bridges out to everyone. Because eventually the centralized services will die, or lose popularity. Myspace is dead. HotOrNot is dead. Digg is dead. Friendster is dead. Facebook is dying. YahooIM is dead. AOLIM/AIM is dead. ICQ is dead. MSN Messanger is dead.
All these communication services died because they were centrally supported. But if MissKey dies, the fediverse doesn't die. The MissKey users just migrate to a new service.
Now if twitter, and threads, and facebook, and reddit, and instagram, and all these other services integrate with the fediverse, the fediverse benefits. And if meta dies in 2042, that's fine. Threads will go away, and facebook, and whatsapp, and instagram will all go away. But the users will say "Now, I heard about pixelfed. Instagram is gone, lets just go to pixelfed."
Whereas HotOrNot users didn't have a fediverse they COULD federate with. So back then, the website just died, and nobody's heard of that concept for a website. There was no replacement. The userbase just ceased to exist.
The pillars for centralized services will fall in time with or without the fediverse. But WITH the fediverse connected before they fall, you implant the suggestion that there IS more out there to an audience that otherwise had no idea the fediverse existed.
Only reason I know of Lemmy/the fediverse is because I got autobanned from reddit. I went out of my way to search for a reddit replacement. Prior to that, I had no idea the fediverse existed. I think I vaguely heard of mastodon......but had no idea it was connected to a bigger network.
Blocking an instance is a powerful tool if it is what you have in mind. Blocking or defederating with such activitypub bridge may have unwanted side effects. It has been discussed before, when meta moved closer to the fediverse. Some kind of fediverse split may happen : those who connect with wallet garden platforms vs the others living in the fediverse as we know it today.
Doesn't make threads itself any more open. If the only thing that matters to be "open" is the individual's ability to block content from them why not "federate" with twitter?
I mean that's not the only thing, I can follow this MBin account that I'm using to talk with you from Threads, and I can interact with Threads posts as well, I've even gotten likes from there
Something like that is impossible with Twitter, altho I wouldn't be fully against the idea to reconnect with a few people I know who refused to leave it for whatever reason
Also, look at the bright side, people that use Threads at least don't use Twitter, I think it's a small step in the right direction, no?
You say that like I don't want to federate with twitter, and then choose who I block.
Because let's face it, 95% of the profiles ARE on twitter. Not everybody who uses social media gives one shit about open source. I'd say most on mastodon DO, but I'd say the vast majority on bluesky DON'T.
This will help you understand why bluesky has 24.5 active million users, and mastodon has 1.5 million active users.
Twitters new reputation is a rightwing hellhole. THAT'S why they're bleeding users. Bluesky is exactly like twitter in functionality, but left wing leaning.
Mastodon isn't political by nature, but functions very differently. The people who care about open source, and decentralized, and all these other things, those people signed up for mastodon. Everybody else who didn't care, didn't.
Now to be fair, mastodon has 10 million registered users, but only 1.5 active users. Compare that to blueskys 25 million users, with 24.5 active users.
Given mastodon's older age compared to bluesky, it suggests to me that at some point in the past, people signed up for mastodon as an alternative to twitter.....and by large have left the platform.
My speculation is that it probably happened when must bought twitter 2 years ago. Before bluesky became popular. Then they left when they realized mastodon works differently than twitter.
Threads is a great example of a company acknowledging that the open web exists and bringing content people want to places where they want to be. I'd like to be able to interact with everyone through one or two accounts, not have to maintain a Meta account, an Mbin account, a Google account, and all the rest.
You may not like it, but I believe the open web is about things like Threads being federated - individual platforms interacting freely, no matter who built them.
Threads acknowledges the fediverse like Microsoft acknowledged IRC. Their goal is to drain out the voices of all instances, since that is the only way to defeat a product not owned by a single entity. Will they accomplish it? Most likely not, but that doesn't make them any more appealing.
I don't remember MSN Messenger being able to handle IRC chats. If it had, I wouldn't have needed an IRC client. But Threads won't drown out other voices, they'll just add voices to the conversation. There's content on Threads that's worth following, and I don't think it's valuable to lose that because of a few engagement farms that you can either personally block or defederate.
Most social media has a leftward bias. Avoiding politics in any form of social media now is like trying to avoid plankton in ocean water - you might be able to do it, but you'll need a really tight filter.

Georgia senators want mental health funding and staffing to address prison deaths
“A lot of the deaths happening in the Georgia Department of Corrections are preventable,” said Nasir Jahid, who left the department’s custody almost two months ago. He told the panel that he saw two people die, including Garry Lloyd Gerald Matthews Jr. He and others had to repeatedly call for help and when officers finally arrived, they “stood by doing nothing,” Jahid told lawmakers.
A Georgia senate study committee released a report with nine recommendations to address long-running concerns about violence, deaths and neglect in the state’s prison system.

Christian SAINTE, promu à la tête de la toute puissante police judiciaire, est embourbé dans une affaire de violences familiales qui le rend susceptible au chantage et le soumet aux désidératas du pouvoir.
Visés en janvier 2021 par une plainte de son chauffeur pour harcèlement moral, qui dénonçait (photographies à l’appui) la présence de casquettes nazies et de trafics en tous genre au sein du service, Christian #SAINTE fait tout pour étouffer l’affaire avec sa numéro 2, Marie-Elisabeth CIATTONI, en s’attaquant notamment à l’avocat du plaignant.
Cet avocat, c’est moi, et la méthode utilisée a été très simple: Marie Elisabeth CIATTONI, directrice de la 1ère DPJ, s’est vue confier, en plein conflit d’intérêts, l’enquête sur mon vrai-faux kompromat, qu’elle a immédiatement publicisée pour faire pression sur la partie civile qui, rappelons-le, a affirmé à la procédure « ne jamais avoir porté plainte » et se sentir sous pression de la police.
Alors qu’elle se savait visée par une procédure pénale initiée par mes soins et qui l’amènerait à être longuement entendue par l’IGPN, Mme. CIATTONI décide de se maintenir à la tête de la direction de l’enquête, ce qui l’amènerait à falsifier des PV, faire disparaître des pièces et faire pression sur des témoins, parties et des experts pendant près des trois ans pour tenter de sauver une procédure aberrante.
Les informations recueillies par la 1ère DPJ remontaient à l’Elysée, plus précisément auprès d’Hélène Davo, conseillère justice de l’Elysée, et étaient ensuite disséminées de façon tronquée dans la presse pour tenter de me nuire et de faire pression sur la magistrature, mais également mon client.
Rappelons que ces individus ont joué un rôle clef pour étouffer les scandales de la #macronie, notamment l’affaire Laurent #Bigorgne (co-fondateur d’En Marche ayant tenté de droguer sa belle-soeur et employée, qu’ils feront échapper aux assises) mais également l’affaire #Benalla, sauvant notamment le directeur de cabinet de l'Elysée.
Dans la foulée, Mme. #CIATTONI a été promue auprès de M. SAINTE comme toute-puissante cheffe d’état-major de la #PJ, à l’échelle nationale. Voilà ce à quoi vous expose ce pays le fait de dire la vérité et de, sans crainte, défendre l’intégrité de personnes honnêtes.
En l’espèce, un policier de la brigade fluviale à la carrière exemplaire qui, après avoir servi au sein de nos armés, serait traumatisé d’avoir eu à repêcher le corps décomposé d’une collègue, Amandine, morte noyée dans la Seine du fait de défaillances incontestables de son service. Un homme qui, reclassé auprès du directeur de la PJ pour le tenir en silence, y découvrant la pourriture du pouvoir, aurait pour seul tort que de le dénoncer, se faisant littéralement jeter à la rue par l’IGPN après avoir tenté de porter plainte seul, avant de faire appel à moi pour l’aider. Une procédure pour prise illégale d’intérêts a été enclenchée à l’encontre de Mme. CIATTONI. Trois autres instructions sont en cours pour faire la vérité.
Elle est aujourd’hui protégée par le parquet de Paris, qui fait tout pour entraver les procédures visant à faire la vérité. Elle sera demain, si la France redevient un Etat de droit, poursuivie et condamnée, pour avoir monté une des affaires les plus scandaleuses du siècle, dont je peux vous assurer qu’elle ne fait que commencer.

Le cynisme de l'Oxydant est inqualifiable. Depuis qu'il a permis à ses bandes criminelles de détruire le dernier grand État laïc issu du nationalisme arabe, il n'y a plus de tintamarre sur #Daesh, #Al-Qaïda, #Al-Nosra.... Plus d'aboiements dans les #médias sur la lutte contre le #terrorisme. Rien ! Et dire que personne ne croyait les analystes avisés qui, depuis une trentaine d'années, affirmaient, preuves à l'appui, que le #jihadisme, c'est eux, Been Laaden, c'est encore eux, Al Qaïda, c'était leur créature, etc. Ces analystes étaient-ils des devins ? Non. Ils s'appuyaient simplement sur la naissance des Frères musulmans, une création des services d'intelligence anglo-saxons pour contrecarrer le nationalisme arabe, incarné par le Parti Baas. Les mêmes analystes se rappelaient également la montée des mouvements fascistes dans les années 1930-1930, où la grande bourgeoisie avait lancé ses gangs criminels recrutés parmi le lumpenprolétariat pour détruire le mouvement ouvrier et les organisations communistes. L'histoire semble se répéter. Nkolo Foé .

@tankdigital @Bandersnatch @msh That right there is the crux of it! We've accepted a very musical-chairs-to-homelessness scarcity approach to education. If we want a civil society, we must stand up and say NO every time someone says that the function of education is to prepare children for work. Even if they act nice and call it a profession. Education is not just for work. It is to prepare kids for a civil society and a good life. -Not blaming you, Tank.

Peter #Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The People #Johnstone
Billionaire Peter Thiel had a fascinating televised moment the other day when asked by Piers Morgan what he thought about the public making a hero of the man suspected of murdering #health-insurance CEO Brian #Thompson. The way he stumbled and stuttered when trying to answer the question gives a lot of insight into how terrified such people are of the public turning against them one day.
“And to those who think this shooter is a hero, because he did it because he said this healthcare executive is presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them?” Morgan asked. [...]
For those who don’t know, Thiel is a proper deep state oligarch who owes his vast fortune to his enmeshment within the US military-intelligence machine. His company #Palantir is a #CIA-backed #surveillance and data mining tech company with intimate ties to both the US intelligence cartel and to #Israel, playing a crucial role in both the US empire’s sprawling surveillance network and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. He backed #Trump in 2016, and Vice President-Elect JD Vance was a protégé of his, so this man is thoroughly entrenched in the halls of power.
Thiel’s blustering response when asked what he thought about the public support we are seeing for the practice of assassinating health insurance CEOs reveals a lot about the kinds of things that keep men like Peter Thiel up at night. [...] caitlinjohnst.one/p/peter-thie… #US #USA

Corporate #SocialMedia is like the Outrage-Industrial Complex.

That's good, isn't it? No one wants to go schlepping all over the place looking for disdain, only to find it's some cheap, mass-produced, foreign import that only lasts a day.

Here we show, based on our analysis of a newly identified genus, Anadoluvius, from the 8.7 Ma site of Çorakyerler in central Anatolia, that Mediterranean fossil apes are diverse, and are part of the first known radiation of early members of the hominines. The members of this radiation are currently only identified in Europe and Anatolia; generally accepted hominins are only found in Africa from the late Miocene until the Pleistocene. Hominines may have originated in Eurasia during the late Miocene, or they may have dispersed into Eurasia from an unknown African ancestor. The diversity of hominines in Eurasia suggests an in situ origin but does not exclude a dispersal hypothesis.
An 8.7 million year old ape from Türkiye shows that Mediterranean fossil apes are diverse and part of the first known radiation of hominines (African apes and humans). Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that hominines originate in Europe.

#Palestine / Israel’s Supreme Court orders demolition of illegal settlement construction on Palestinian land near Nabi Aner, 7 years after the case was filed
The case, filed in December 2017 by the head of Ras Karkar village council, two residents of Deir Amar village, and the human rights organizations Yesh Din and Emek Shaveh, challenged the illegal construction and takeover of the Nabi Aner archaeological site.
The site, partially located on Palestinian-owned land near Ramallah, contains significant cultural heritage including springs, a mosque, and ruins of historical structures. Since the early 2000s, Palestinian landowners have experienced severe violence from Israeli settlers, hindering access to the site. Israeli settlers subsequently transformed the area into a recreational site, illegally constructing pools, pathways, and other structures, even boasting about displacing Palestinians.
Despite repeated appeals to authorities, the illegal construction continued. The Israeli government attempted to delay enforcement by citing the “Regularization Law,” but the Supreme Court rejected this argument in 2020. Finally, on December 17, 2024, the court ruled in favor of the petitioners, ordering the demolition of illegal structures within six months and the restoration of the site to its pre-occupation state.
The court emphasized the state's obligation to protect Palestinian property rights and ensure access to heritage sites. The ruling also criticized the government and prosecution for their handling of the case.
Photo: Settlers after they encroached upon the Nabi Aner site, which served to irrigate the lands of the villages of Ras Karkar and Deir Amar. This is part of a widespread phenomenon of “settlement tourism”, which involves taking over Palestinian lands and claiming them to be public goods (while violently denying access to the rightful owners of course).
Nordids, a.k.a. "Nordics", are strongly depigmented, orthognathic and leptomorphic dolicho-mesocephals of northern Europe. The general Nordid type probably evolved through the blending of gracilized northern European Cro-Magnoids (robust broad-faced Upper Paleolithic types) with various types, including tall leptomorphs associated with the Battle-Axe and Boat-Axe peoples, who entered Europe from the Eurasian steppes (carrying the Corded type with them), penetrating the various Nordid-formative territories in several consecutive waves. The resulting blends were subsequently stabilized, and the resultant types further specialized, to yield the present Nordid varieties. The ancestral Corded type (named after its association with the Corded Ware culture), with its high vault and long head, was skeletally "nordiform" (approaching a Nordid), or perhaps Mediterranid (of a larger, more robust variety).

Este es el primer castillo que he construido, para ser el primero estoy bastante contento con el resultado. Poco a poco iremos creando cosas más complejas.
Hoy: la Torre de la Hechicera. En las profundidades del bosque se encuentra esta imponente torre. Construída hace generaciones por los elfos, se yergue hacia las alturas, donde los vientos de la magia soplan con mayor fuerza. Los elfos llamaban a esta estructura "Tol athellas", la isla de las hojas sanadoras. Pero los elfos hace tiempo que se marcharon, y ahora se supone abandonada... o quizá no.
El campo de justas, el lugar donde el señor del castillo gusta de celebrar cualquier acontecimiento, y a donde todos los caballeros del Reino se dirigen para batirse en duelo, lanza en ristre, para alzarse con el honor y la gloria y la admiración de la plebe.
Bueno, sigo con el #TinyGlade (perdón por dar la turra, si no queréis verlo os sugiero silenciar el hashtag).
Estos días he estado haciendo cosas típicas de poblado medieval típico. Por ejemplo, el típico pozo. También, y como no podía ser de otra forma, una taberna donde nuestros héroes se reúnen frente a una pinta de cerveza tras una aventura.
Otra cosa que me he fijado es que todo el mundo hace poblados medievales con sus puentes, fuentes, casas, posadas, castillos, iglesias, etc. Pero casi nadie (bueno, no he visto a nadie aún) repara en dos edificaciones típicas de los poblados medievales; el lavadero público (donde se lavaba la ropa a mano, aprovechando el rio) y el horno comunal (un horno de piedra a disposición de la gente del pueblo para hacer pan, por ejemplo).
No os penséis que he abandonado el #TinyGlade, yo sigo haciendo cosas. Por ejemplo últimamente he estado refinando este pueblo para incorporar su iglesia con cementerio y campana, una fuente de agua e incluso un hórreo:
Hoy mismo acaban de poner en el #TinyGlade la opción de mover, duplicar y rotar los objetos que salen aleatóreamente como ruedas, sillas, bancos o barriles, lo que significa que adiós a mi vida social.
Pero el juego este ¿tiene objetivos? o es en plan creativo que haces mapitas hasta aburrirte? me genera curiosidad y los pantallazos son muy bonitos pero me parece que sin objetivos/una dirección me aburriré pronto :/
Una pregunta, de profano a historiador: ¿Era muy común que hubiera lavaderos en las ciudades? Porque es la típica cosa que en los pueblos pequeños es construcción del siglo XIX, regalo de algún indiano.

Another very important testimony on what happened in the now infamous #Russia - #Ukraine peace negotiations in Türkiye, 6 weeks into the war.
This time by Jean-Daniel #Ruch 👇, who was Switzerland's ambassador to Türkiye at the time.
He confirms other accounts that it is the West - specifically "the Americans with their British allies" - that "pulled the plug on the negotiations" when they were "on the edge" of succeeding. He says they did so because they thought it was too early and they wanted to "first weaken Russia".
As he describes it, he found the decision "deeply immoral" because "it was clear at that time that if the war continued there would be an escalation and the dead would be at least in the tens of thousands, more likely in the hundreds of thousands".
He asks, rhetorically: "why did all these people die?" because now "they may have weakened Russia but they weakened the whole West at the same time, maybe not the Americans but certainly Europe." Also, if a peace deal was done today, it would still "pretty much be based on what was negotiated in Istanbul", assuming the Russians are still willing, a tall order given he's "not so sure that the Russians are prepared to compromise today."

Un autre témoignage très important sur ce qui s'est passé lors des désormais tristement célèbres négociations de paix entre la #Russie et l' #Ukraine en Turquie, 6 semaines après le début de la guerre.
Jean-Daniel #Ruch, qui était à l'époque ambassadeur de #Suisse en #Turquie, confirme d'autres témoignages selon lesquels ce sont les Occidentaux, et notamment «les Américains et leurs alliés britanniques», qui ont «interrompu les négociations» alors qu'elles étaient «sur le point» de réussir. Selon lui, ils l'ont fait parce qu'ils pensaient qu'il était trop tôt et qu'ils voulaient «d'abord affaiblir la Russie».
Selon lui, cette décision était «profondément immorale» car «il était clair à l'époque que si la guerre continuait, il y aurait une escalade et les morts se compteraient au moins en dizaines de milliers, voire en centaines de milliers».
Il demande, de manière rhétorique : «Pourquoi tous ces gens sont-ils morts ?» car «ils ont peut-être affaibli la Russie, mais ils ont affaibli en même temps tout l’Occident, peut-être pas les #USA, mais certainement l’Europe.» De plus, si un accord de paix était conclu aujourd’hui, il «serait toujours basé en grande partie sur ce qui a été négocié à Istanbul», en supposant que les Russes soient toujours disposés, une tâche difficile étant donné qu’il n’est «pas si sûr que les Russes soient prêts à faire des compromis aujourd’hui.»

You know ‘the time’ has come: you must wake up now: our salvation is even nearer than it was when we were converted. The night is almost over, it will be daylight soon – let us give up all the things we prefer to do under cover of the dark; let us arm ourselves and appear in the light.

☕️ STILETTO ERA ☙ Wednesday, December 18, 2024 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
NeverTrumper sudden and unexpected about-face; Pelosi's high heels end an era; Ukraine terrorist assassinate Biden investigator; Biden joins useless feds dismissing drone story; and more.
If you think the current democratic party is anything but useless you haven't been paying attention. Do they represent your interests? They haven't represented mine. Ever. If I'm being honest. The only reason I'm in this fucking party is because I hate the Republicans even more.
It doesn't matter what I think, or what you think. It's the majority that matters and the majority of Democrats are NOT going to all switch to this new hypothetical party you propose.
Of course not, because there is nothing for anyone to switch to. But our current political system isn't working for a lot of people, and a lot of people are frustrated and fed up. One of these days the shit will hit the fan. #USpol
Life pro tip: People won't know how you feel unless you tell them.
If you like someone, tell them. If you're mad at someone, tell them. If you've got a crush on someone, tell them. If you're disappointed in someone, tell them. If you're confused by someone, tell them. If someone makes you joyful, tell them.
Whatever emotion you have that you want someone else to understand, you're going to have to put on your big adult pants and actually tell them what you want them to know. They're not going to just figure it out any other way.
