Word is Trump and Musk are to speak this week-end. A call has been scheduled. The next Reconciliation Bill out of Congress will have benefits for Musk's companies and others in the genre.
Usury is a cornerstone of capitalism. Before capitalism the church prevented Christians from charging interest on loans.
Private ownership of the means of production is a cornerstone of capitalism. Before capitalism commons existed where regular people that don't own land could hunt forage and gather natural resources.
state enforced monopolies are a cornerstone of capitalism. The monarchy and nobility were replaced with corporations.
Mediaeval peasants worked less hours each year than the average worker under capitalism does today.
Real capitalists accept this, you won't see them arguing in favour of capitalism. They understand their wealth comes from exploiting society.
Only wage slave cucks will argue in favour of capitalism, the capitalists themselves are too busy enjoying their privilege to waste their time arguing.

<<EU and Mexico criticise Trump's proposed 30% tariff>>
Why criticize it? Why even care? I live in Europe and I don't give a flying fuck. If the US citizens want to be taxed extra it's their business. Dafuck, yo! I mean, maybe increasing the price of BMW in the US will make the sales drop, but fuck Germany anyways. They deserve it for dropping off sand niggers in my backyard!
It probably affects you mostly through lost sales of Italian wine, cheese, supercars. But here's the thing, if they devalue the dollar by 20% to pay their debts, and then they slap 20% tariff on all imports to level the field, I don't know if that'll be good or bad for Europe...
@cjd the way i see it, it doesn't affect me at all. I mean, it's not like people in the US buy Italian, French, Swiss or pretty much any other Europea imports because they're priced competitively. That's basically the expensive shit you buy because you want something boutique to flex. I mean, think about it. If you're buying 30+ bucks bottle of wine, you'll buy it all the same if it's 40 bucks. The target market isn't exactly the folk living on a budget
You make a good point there. I think the biggest export from countries like Italy and France to the US is vacations, which are completely unaffected by tariffs...
Behind an obsession with body image, there can lie a deep narcissistic need for control and validation. Eating disorders may become an extension of this inner struggle: the body turns into a showcase, a tool of power, yet also a battlefield within. 🪞✨ Recognizing this can be the first step toward healing and self-compassion. #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealth #BodyImage #HealingJourney

Die palästinensische Flagge steht nicht für „queerfeindlichen Terror“, sondern für den Widerstand gegen koloniale Vernichtung, Apartheid und die tägliche Gewalt des zionistischen Besatzungsregimes. Dass unterdrückerische Strukturen auch innerhalb palästinensischer Gesellschaften existieren, etwa Patriarchat oder Homophobie, ist kein Argument gegen die Befreiung Palästinas, sondern ein Aufruf, diese Kämpfe verbunden zu führen.
Die Logik, dass Kolonisierte erst „fortschrittlich“ genug sein müssen, um Unterstützung zu verdienen, ist zutiefst imperialistisch. Kein Volk wird befreit, indem man es unter Besatzung lässt -queere Palästinenser:innen kämpfen nicht nur gegen Homo- und Transphobie, sondern auch gegen Bomben, Vertreibung und Entmenschlichung durch Israel. Der Vorwurf des „Antisemitismus“ dient dabei oft als Totschlagargument, um jeden Widerstand gegen israelische Staatsgewalt zu delegitimieren, dabei sind jüdische Stimmen gegen Besatzung und Antizionismus seit jeher Teil der Bewegung.
Nationalismus? Es geht um Anti-Kolonialismus. Die Forderung „Free Palestine“ ist kein Bekenntnis zu reaktionären Regimen, sondern eine Anerkennung, dass Befreiung untrennbar ist: Kein Ende der Queerfeindlichkeit ohne Ende des Imperialismus, kein Feminismus ohne Sturz der Besatzung. Wer sich auf CSDs gegen Genozid positioniert, handelt im Geist des Stonewall-Aufstands, der auch kein Bittgesuch an die Mächtigen, sondern ein Aufstand der Unterdrückten war.
Und dabei ist noch nicht einmal berücksichtigt, dass Israel queere Palästinenser*innen mitnichten irgendwie unterstützt, sondern ganz im Gegenteil identifiziert, um ihr Leben zu zerstören, indem sie zur Kollaboration erpresst werden.
Was wiederum umgekehrt den Punkt mit den verbundenen Kämpfen stützt: der Befreiungskampf ‧profitiert‧ vom innerpalästinensischen Kampf gegen Homophobie — nicht abstrakt und theoretisch, sondern ganz konkret, wenn queere Palästinenser*innen dadurch weniger erpressbar werden.

Michael Shanks has claimed there's no such thing as Scottish electricity because it's generated by "GB wind". An extraordinary statement from a so-called Scottish MP.
In October 2023, Shanks urged people to vote for him saying Rutherglen needed "a local champion who will fight for our area. I want to be that champion."
That aged well.
We expected nothing from him and he's still managed to disappoint us.

Replies and favorites on that post show up as comments and likes on PeerTube, and following the account that posted it subscribes you to my videos.
Heads up, though! While some platforms might allow you to respond with custom emojis, gifs, images, polls, and reactions, most of that fancy stuff won’t show up correctly on PeerTube. The same goes for any edits you might want to make to your response unless you delete & re-draft.

PeerTube videos, like YouTube videos, are HLS playlists of separate video streams (at different resolutions) and audio streams.
Your Akkoma server ingests my PeerTube videos and tries attaching the first .mp4 link listed in an HTML5 video element, but this won't have audio as that's the just the fragmented 1080p video stream.
I don't believe there's a way to combine separate hls video and audio streams using HTML5 video elements.
What Akkoma should do is create an embedded player for PeerTube links (this is how Mastodon behaves), or simply link to my external PeerTube video without trying to attach any media (this is how Akkoma behaves with YouTube links).

The new "Mastodon account verification" scam going around is yet another reason why Mastodon SHOULD NOT HAVE A DM FUNCTION.
AT ALL.
An unsolicited on-platform communication channel that admins have no entitlement to inspect, but some responsibiity for the misleading contents of, is ripe for abuse.
Private communication belongs on private e2ee personal comms channels.
What's the difference to the same scammers just sending people an email? Most people use the same email address for everything, so it's trivial to find out what email address to send the scam to.
@khm If people fall for these DM scams, what are the chances of those very same people noticing that the scam email must be a scam/phishing attempt because they never actually entered their email address when they created their Mastodon account several years ago?
The majority of people are not as tech savvy as you might hope, and doesn't even distinguish between the activitypub protocol and implementations of that protocol, let alone different instances/servers of an implementation.
sorry, having a hard time taking you seriously. is this a real opinion or just sealioning? because this "well that slight improvement might not help this other, even dumber idiot I just invented" stuff combined with your implicit assertion that you know more about "the majority of people" than I do is starting to smell pretty bad-faith over here
if you don't collect email addresses, then you can safely say "any email claiming to come from us is fake"
it removes ambiguity. ambiguity that currently exists because webshits have a habit of outsourcing account management to email. removing email from the platform and loudly announcing it helps people understand.
@evacide@hachyderm.io I've already removed Gemini via adb once. I'll do it again if it comes back after this forced opt-in.

at best, it's the lesser evil right now. And the more invested anyone gets in it, the more stridently they'll defend it when it makes that next step down the enshittification track. Apple's hiring the same folks that Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and all the other wannabe mega-evil corps are, so they're all in a race to the bottom. The only way to have a hope of winning... is not to play.
I know you remember when Google said "do no evil" - for a few years, many of us tech folks gave them the benefit of the doubt. How foolish were we? Apple's already done plenty of evil, just not (so far as we know) *that* kind. And, yeah, in general they have a bit more panache. For now. But, as we know, things change. Because that's where all the incentives point. Just like there are no worthy & admirable billionaires, there are no worthy corporations.
I’d rather not have to trust corporations not be evil, and instead know that if they do evil some well-funded government regulatory body will catch them and rain hellfire down on them.
We have allowed corporate lobbyists and propaganda to weaken government regulatory powers and that’s been a big mistake. Without that balance, corporations don’t need to benefit society, just their shareholders.
Capitalism incentivizes abuse by valuing profit above all else. Corruption begets corruption. Wealth and power are used to capture regulations and bend them to gain more wealth and power that is used to bend regulations for more money and power round and round we go and the final, inevitable form of this type of system is corporate feudalism. That's how it works by its inherent nature.
