We speak with the UN expert about efforts to stop the genocide, the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" and activist convoys trying to reach Gaza. It was also one of the costliest weeks for the Israeli army.
Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.
What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.
Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.
(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)
i absolutely agree. thank you for this! I received this same message a few days back for responding with an image. And the image did not fall into any of the categories listed in this response from the admins!
reading the wiki…how Jews get to have The Holocaust, instead of just your regular everyday Holocaust without the The. 🙄 It could also be called a holomodor…a genocide by deliberate starvation.
Shall we make up new words no one understands? Personally I don’t like the use of Holocaust because of the ‘burnt offering’ connotation. It’s a gross term for it. Jews and Palestinians alike.
stop calling every genocide a "holocaust", an holocaust is a sacrifice, an offering, it's the total opposite of a genocide
The jews were not genocided as a some sort of sacrificial ritual, and neither are the palestinians
That's why we call the genocide of the jews "Shoah" which means "disaster", and we should use the same vocabulary when speaking of the palestinian genocide, it's not a sacrifice, it's a genocide
Language essentialism is a big sign of Nazism/Fascism. As per Umberto Eco:
"Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.[...] [E]lements of Ur-Fascism are common to different forms of dictatorship. All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show"
Okay minor terminology rant incoming (not even gonna TOUCH some of that stuff): "Holocaust" includes Romani people and also it is a very bystander-centric term, (I could rant more if you want but I'm tired of writing threads) I prefer referring to the Nazi genocide of Jews as the 'Shoah'. Also, tbf, an integral part of Nazism is antisemitism. if someone is jewish (not bobby-fischer-style-'I'm a Jewish antisemite' Jewish), most you can say is cheering on a genocidal fascist (say, Kahane).
This is another of those scenarios @pluralistic is fond of reminding us of, where those responsible were warned, loudly, before the damage & forged ahead anyway.
It's bad enough that we, modern humanity, collectively, can't stop pissing where we sleep, but rewarding the biggest bed pissers with billionaire status might be just a little over the top in terms of bad idea'ness...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu often speaks of 'historical changes that will be talked about for generations' – and his real ambitions for this war against Iran certainly fit the description
Implicitly addressing #Israel, #EU says diplomacy is best method to address #Iran nuclear program
Foreign policy chief Kallas: "We all agreed the urgent need for de-escalation. Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, and diplomacy is the solution to prevent this, and EU will play its part"
Analyst in #Tehran: "For years, #Iran civil society had been fractured: student activists demanding freedoms, ethnic minorities decrying repression, women resisting the mandatory hijab and a middle class crushed by inflation. Yet #Israel aggression transformed dissent into solidarity"
@bifouba Yes, that’s the basis of legal contract-you voluntary agree to something. IMO we should not argue here against each other, because I see you also support #Palestine, #Iranians who fight for their freedom on their own this whole time and do not need #US or #Israel lecturing them and killing them at the same time. We should focus our energy on the real enemy-the rich people&colonial #empires - we live in a world constructed for them and by them.
@bifouba Look, I do not think that 15 people on your poll is statistically valid to give any conclusion about my opinions or myself as a person-it mostly serves to reinforce your echo chaimber and your personal opinion-at least it looks like that. I have the right to have mine and respect yours. The EU is comprised of 27 countries, she has to represent their positions-I am sure Hungary and Ireland don’t have the same about Israel or british colonialism.
About 99% of Wikipedia zim files are now back on a monthly update schedule. The remaining 1% (24 wikis) are impacted by a variety of edge cases, listed here.
I just realize we do not have an issue to track the status on wikimedia recipes restart, so let's do it now. Here is the status as of today Focusing only on Wikipedia: 554 recipes in total 7 still ...
Roughly 2/3 of the failed recipes are related to errors preventing the retrieval of a given article; we've chosen to replace these errors on a case-by-case basis, only after analysis; we continue to discover new errors (InvariantException, etc.).
Some of these are actually on the Wikimedia end of things, but we are talking and they have people working on them as well.
1/3 of the failures remain scraper bugs to be fixed - some are fairly trivial and are being hot-fixed in 1.15.1, some are more subtle and will be fixed in milestone 1.16.
The problem is that we don't when/where failures will occur.
As a reminder it takes anywhere between 6 to 20 days of crawl and compute to generate a zim file with 7M entries. It this happens at the beginning of the crawl, it sucks. If it happens at the end of the crawl, this sucks big time.
Seeing how long it has been (and how many have been asking/waiting for an update) we are also seriously considering accepting a number of missing entries : 100? 1000?
Out of 7 million entries it is peanuts, but if for some reason some of the missing entries (which we can not predict) are on this list
I just got a new laptop, put Debian 13 on it, installed Plasma, started configuring all the tools. Everything works great but when I get to set up the screensaver I realize it's Wayland. So no xscreensaver. So no IFS.
I had those fractals welcoming me when my computer wakes up probably for 20 years now. Now I'm supposed to just setup normal lock screen and move on? Nope. xdm, .xsessionrc, xscreensaver. Now it feels like home again.
But it's stupid, right? Just use new tools. They have more features. Better integrations. I'm still thinking about switching back to Wayland...
So, do you suffer from software nostalgia (a term I just made up)? Do you stick to good old tools even when the modern replacements are better? Or do you always chase the latest tools without looking back?

Como sé que Mastodon está lleno de gente lista y activista vengo con una petición de ayuda: si la empresa de aguas de tu municipio te cobra un gasto de agua desorbitado (estamos hablando de una salvajada cercana a los 1000 euros) y tú dices que es imposible que exista ese gasto por más que ellos digan, ¿hay alguna manera de demostrarlo? ¿de reclamar y que te den la razón?
Estamos alucinando con la factura y lo peor es que allí nos han dicho que la lectura del contador está bien, así que a lo mejor fue de una pérdida de agua ya arreglada porque este mes la lectura vuelve a estar en valores normales. Les hemos dicho que es imposible, que no ha habido ninguna pérdida, así que como no se arreglase por arte de magia, tiene que ser otra la razón. El fontanero nos ha confirmado que no hay pérdida. Ellos insisten en que la factura es correcta. Les hemos dicho que para ese gasto de agua tendríamos que tener una piscina olímpica en casa o algo así, que no hay forma posible, es que están de coña. ¿Opciones? 😖
We all know the tricks with the "serving suggestion" photos on #food packaging, right? Same ingredients, but prepared by a professional chef - and then often coated in something to make 'em shiny, cotton pad dipped in boiling water for steam, the old glue instead of milk trick...

Because you highlighted it in your 2nd picture. They included those magical words "generated by AI". They're not being shady. Now, it's up to the consumer not to buy the product.
Guys I trust you more than random search results. How do you deal with an avoidant woman? A woman who won't say yes or no even though there's chemistry and tension, how do you break through her shell ("break" shouldn't conjure images of force it's a gentle cracking of a suffocating dome, it's saving her) and make (again, so many people think this implies some sort of force, no no no, when you make someone get out of the way of a speeding bus at the last second is that bad??? No it's heroic!) her understand that the two of you have permission from the universe to be together and to enjoy your time together and to be devoted to each other???????? You bros seem to have it figured out I know at least some of you faggots are married and shit.

Any suggestions on how to get non-tech oriented people to switch from WhatsApp to Signal? I'm having trouble; political arguments and worries about encryption via incorporating AI don't seem to work for many people, who just go "I don't want to have to install a new app/check two different texting apps" and that's it. #technology #meta #signal #whatsapp
Well what I'm doing is offered myself to install Signal or Deltachat on their phones. Specially to people who are normal users (friends who don't care or don't know how to) and by now a few had say yes. Some just install these apps without a problem. Sometimes I just tell them:"you probably have a dozen apps that you don't use, so why not this one so we can message?" There's probably other options.

Mes amis, voilà une question qu’on n’entend jamais sur les plateaux des « grandes démocraties » : pourquoi, lors de la création de l’entité nommée Satanique en 1948, les villages chrétiens de Palestine ont été rasés, leurs habitants massacrés ou chassés vers le nord du Liban et la Syrie ? Les fameux défenseurs des droits de l’homme étaient où à ce moment-là ? Silence radio, pas un mot, pas une résolution. Pourtant, il n’y avait pas de Hamas à l’époque, pas de roquettes artisanales, et certainement pas de chrétiens armés qui menaçaient qui que ce soit. Ceux qui ont fui, comme les habitants de Kafr Bir’im (expulsés en 1948, village détruit en 1953), d’Iqrit (expulsés en 1948, village rasé en 1951), de Ma’alul, al-Manshiyya, ou encore de Saffuriyya, étaient des familles chrétiennes ou mixtes, délogées sans autre forme de procès. ** **Et aujourd’hui, qu’est-ce qu’on voit ? Les pays qui se disent « culturellement chrétiens » n’ont jamais levé le petit doigt pour permettre à ces familles de revenir sur leurs terres, ou même de réclamer un État chrétien en Palestine. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui motive les décideurs occidentaux, ce n’est pas la justice, ni la foi, ni la mémoire, mais bien la haine de l’Arabe, qu’il soit chrétien ou musulman, ça ne fait aucune différence. On a ouvert toutes les portes pour les ashkénazes venus de Pologne, de Russie, d’Ukraine, de Hongrie – souvent même avant les juifs natifs ! mais les chrétiens et les musulmans natifs ? Qu’ils aillent croupir dans les camps du Liban ou s’exiler en Syrie, ça n’intéresse personne. ** **Au fond, pourquoi ne pas réclamer un État chrétien en Palestine ? Et pourquoi pas un État palestinien musulman aussi, sur la même terre, pour ceux qui y vivent depuis toujours ? Les trois ont autant le droit d’exister dans cette région, et sûrement bien plus que ceux débarqués d’Europe de l’Est avec des valises pleines de mythes et d’idéologie. ** **Mais tant que la seule boussole sera la géopolitique du mépris et de l’amnésie sélective, il n’y aura ni justice ni paix. La mémoire des villages disparus Kafr Bir’im, Iqrit, Saffuriyya, Ma’alul, et tant d’autres restera gravée, bien après les discours hypocrites et les grandes messes sur la coexistence.
