I don't think people do understand what an autistic talent looks like. Yeah, one person can break the entire magic system, but what does it actually mean? Does it disprove some huge rule of the universe? Does it mean, that anyone can do it with few years of training? NO!!!!
Just think about it. Because I am an IT guy, and I can say with absolute certainty, that in IT, it literally works the same fucking way.
Because 80% of population barely can gasp how to use the computer to do some math for them. Excel tables are the peak of computer knowledge, they can possibly achieve.
Then you have the 1%ters, who can work in IT security. Who understand the code, and can possibly even work on a hacking protextion software........
And then, there is that ONE FURRY, who can out-troll the entire fucking industry, and hack his way around that software made by 1 000 talented individuals on his own anyway. . . . I hate IT power scaling.
@sidalsolgun Mastodon can’t ban you, it’s just a piece of software. Your instance banned you. Which one, so we can tell people to stay away. (Zionism isn’t a religion and neither is Israel.)

Jacksonville, FL – On Saturday, July 19, workers answered the call by the North Florida Future Labor Leaders to protest HR 86, the NOSHA Act, which would abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Union teachers, plumbers, electricians, warehouse workers and city employees gathered at the steps of Jacksonville city to demand, “No to NOSHA.”
Shayne Tremblay, president of the North Florida Future Labor Leaders (NFFLL) and a rank-and-file electrician with IBEW Local 177 stated, “Prior to the Occupational Safety and Health Act being signed into law, this country was facing an epidemic of workers getting injured and dying on the job. OSHA was passed to stop this by holding companies accountable for the safety and health of their workers. Abolishing OSHA would set us back in time to a period where companies can treat workers as disposable again.”
Though OSHA protections are often thought about in the context of heavy industry and construction, OSHA covers all workers in the U.S.
Ashleigh Rondon, a rank-and-file plumber and member of UA Local 234, stated, “Workers won’t be safe unless we have regulations requiring their safety. The companies we work for are only looking out for themselves. And that goes for any industry – healthcare, construction, factory workers, anybody. Everybody needs OSHA. We need OSHA to ensure people make it home in one piece.”
Alysin Allmon, a rank-and-file Teamster, described how unorganized workers are especially at risk, “Many of us here are covered by unions that guarantee us safe working conditions and even healthcare. But many people who would be affected, if they got hurt, may not get help because they can't afford to, may not ever receive compensation because the companies possibly wouldn't have to. Agencies like OSHA prevent these accidents that could easily put people out of work, or result in deaths.”
Mike Sterling of IBEW 2358 and a member of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists told the crowd, “OSHA is a government that we pay for; its purpose is to ensure that companies don’t put profit over people. Let’s send a message to Washington that worker safety is nothing to mess with.”
Between speeches, anyone within earshot of City Hall could hear union workers chanting “Who’s got the power? We got the power! What kind of power? Worker power!” The rally concluded with a booming chant of “No to NOSHA! Kill the bill!”

A favorite recent @globalvoices.org story: I love this article about telenovela cross-over and creative responses to digital authoritarianism, a collaboration between two of our contributors from different parts of the world able to analyze together the connections!
I asked our community to share some favorite @globalvoices stories from over the years, so here's a 🧵: (and if it makes you sad to think of losing access to this kind of reporting and essays, please donate! globalvoices.org/donate/)
Kanav is proud of this story: " Even though the Court ultimately decided not to recognize same-sex marriage, it did call for the constitution of a high-level committee to work toward drafting a national law on the matter, and I’m glad to have been part of the conversation in some small way." globalvoices.org/2023/10/20/la…
On October 17, 2023, a five judge bench of the Supreme Court of India has ruled against legalizing same-sex marriage in a unanimous verdict. This judgment has sparked concerns among LGBTQ+ activists.
Kelly: "With this story, I became a GVer: part of a vibrant, collaborative media community that empowers me to speak up and write with clarity and purpose."
At Torkham, a busy Pakistan-Afghanistan border crossing, young children navigate heavy traffic, carrying burdensome loads. Their presence amid bustling trade highlights stark issues of exploitation, survival, and a precarious shadow economy.
A former editor wrote: "I loved this one… such a rare find. I honestly don’t know if any other EN language publication looked at Turkmens in Ukraine. Also in the broader brush strokes it says so much about how far apart two former Soviet republics could grow in terms of democracy and autocracy."
Julia: "bc it consistently ranks as 1 of, if not as the most popular post on GV German. It shows how a seemingly simple question can hold many different realities & layers which is 1 of the aspects I love about GV-it looks beneath the surface & illustrates how there's often not a definitive answer."
Is Singapore a city or a country? This question seems silly since Singapore is globally recognized as an independent state. But for Singapore Law Minister K. Shanmugam, Singapore should be treated as a city.
Emma recommended this by @sankuchy : "Because of my personal passion for the protection of our respective natural and cultural legacies, I especially loved this article, which explains our human-ness and interconnectedness with our environment."
The Ghodaghodi Lake Area, home to Nepal's first bird sanctuary, is culturally important to the indigenous Tharu people and this may have played a significant role in its preservation.

I’ve got one case figured out for my War of Words exhibition next summer (though it’s the case that comes last) on the Revolution in memory. Featuring the manuscript of Paul Revere’s Ride, Douglass’s What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?, a button dug up from the Battle of Bunker Hill (currently in Conservation) and a label from Houghton’s exhibition for the Bicentennial.
LOL, a colleague just reminded me of something that's perfect for this case, a wooden book carved from the "Washington Elm", the tree in Cambridge where Washington took command of the army, made for the 100th anniversary. id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990133…

#PIX is the future of #money! "I can’t help noticing that Pix is actually achieving what #cryptocurrency boosters claimed, falsely, to be able to deliver through the blockchain—low transaction costs and financial inclusion. Compare the 93% of Brazilians using Pix to the 2% of Americans who used cryptocurrency to buy something or make a payment in 2024. Oh, and using Pix doesn’t create an incentive to kidnap people and torture them until they give up their crypto keys."
When Trump's fixer Todd Blanche visits Epstein's partner-in-sex-trafficking Ghislaine Maxwell in prison to offer a get-out-of-jail free card, it's not because he's seeking the truth. It's because he knows the truth.
Todd Blanche has now made clear how he intends to help Donald Trump out of his pedophile problem. Having fired the prosecutor competent to discuss cooperation with Ghislaine Maxwell, Blanche has announced he will conduct such a discussion himself.

Unfortunately Mike Yeadon is a paid Ml6 Agent. I've tried to write directly to him countless of times for many years now begging him to stop with the vaccyne and virus dissinfo., and start with the truth about Al and NANO bots etc. He always refused to talk about any of it, and continued with his lethal shƴtte. Stupid, fake and eviI. He is still involved in Iethal Al "medicine" making with his own company, just like Robert Malone,
Oh we had such high hopes for Mike! We even called him “Mr. Sparkle“ in our neck of the interwoods For a time. He was one of the last people we had to cross off the good guy list.
Like all the controlled opposition meddler-types, he gets quite a bit of the story correct, but not enough to get us out of the mental trap.
He is correct to doubt viral theory—it is an absolute mess of pseudoscience.
Unfortunately if you listen to Mike and repeat what he says, you will be mislead, especially if you take his message to be an endorsement of the ”NO VIRUS” position (the Baileys, Andrew Kaufman, Tom Cowan) which is also controlled opposition.
I watched this FINAL warning, and the dead giveaway here is his heavy promotion and endorsement of Sasha Latypova who is a certified controlled opposition meddler and nasty piece of work.
She is a former pharma big shot, like Yeadon. He is clearly trying to get OUT of this operation and pass his character’s script over to her. This is basically all you need as proof that he is not a good guy.
Edit: (h/t @OisinPage) The second dead giveaway that Mike is con-op is the conspicuous absence of the words ”Transfection / transformation”—words which lead you right to the heart of understanding the synthetic recombinant technologies behind the creation of all biologics (like mRNA jabs) and exposes the con behind virology at the same time. Mike knows how biologics are made and understands transformation / Transfection, but won’t teach it to his audience despite being Implored by @jjcouey for YEARS.
Any so-called truth teller should be educating their audience about the realities of synthetic recombinant DNA / RNA technologies. NOT confusing people or leading them to make fools of themselves when interacting on social media wirh “experts”.

Interessantes Interview mit Katharina König-Preuss das man sich durchaus mal durchlesen kann, wenn verstehen will, wie eine Position pro israelischer Staat und Linkssein zusammenpasst. Ich denke da wird einem dann eine Menge klar, vor allem wenn man es mit der realen Situation kontrastiert.
»"Eine Armee ist eine Armee ist eine Armee"« >>Katharina König-Preuss erklärt, warum links der Mitte hart über Israel gestritten wird – und wann sie ihre Partei verlassen würde<< nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1192760.…
Die Thüringer Linke-Politikerin Katharina König-Preuss verteidigt ihre proisraelische Haltung trotz des Gaza-Krieges. Sie kritisiert Genozid-Vorwürfe und vermeintliche Nahost-Experten, die sich über Tiktok informierten.
Es geht viel um sie, um ihre Bedürfnisse. Eine linke Analyse findet nicht statt. Die Realität - die tatsächliche Situation in Gaza, in der Westbank, in Israel lugt hervor, aber sie wird eingehegt, verzerrend, verharmlosend kleingeredet, gerechtfertigt. Kritik findet nicht statt.
Was dazu aufgeschrieben hat Yossi Bartal, dessen kurze Analyse dazu ich dazu empfehlen möchte bsky.app/profile/yossibartal.b…
>>Thread: Das Interview mit Katharina König-Preuß ist ein typisches Beispiel für die diskursive Strategie progressiver Israel-Unterstützer*innen angesichts des immer offensichtlicheren Genozids in Gaza und der fortschreitenden Faschisierung Israels. Diese Strategie umfasst drei Elemente:<
>>1) Emotionale Selbstinszenierung: Ganz zuerst kommt die performative Betroffenheit – "Diese Bilder machen mich traurig, wütend" –, um moralische Integrität zu signalisieren. Das Mitgefühl bleibt aber folgenlos: Palästinenser*innen verdienen Empathie, aber nichts weiteres.<<
>>2) Relativierung : Israel wird als Teil eines "normalen" globalen Gewaltzustands dargestellt ("Alle Armeen machen Kriegsverbrechen") - schlimm, aber nicht wirklich schlimm. Eine klassische Schuldabwehr, bekannt aus der deutschen Nachkriegsrhetorik ("Die Amis haben auch die Indianer ausgerottet").<<
>>3) Leere Pazifismusfloskeln: Man verurteilt den Krieg – aber ohne Konsequenzen. Kein Wort zu Waffenembargos, Sanktionen, Boykotten oder zur Verantwortung des deutschen Staates. Wer konkrete Maßnahmen fordert, wird schnell als antisemitisch diffamiert. Denn Israel und Juden sind letztendlich gleich.<<
Fragt man sich ab wann man nicht mehr so tun kann als müsste man sich nicht entscheiden.
Außerdem:
"Antisemitisch wird es dann, wenn jemand das Existenzrecht Israels infrage stellt oder an Israel Standards anlegt, die an andere Staaten nicht angelegt werden"
Also wenn man an Israel die Standards anlegen würde, die man z.B. an Russland anlegt, dann wäre das Land bereits isoliert.

Great protest and great victory in #Syros #Greece. Locals protesting against the genocide in #Palestine in response to the arrival of Israeli - owned cruiseship Crown Iris to the island, forcing it to leave the island. Israeli tourists onboard were provocative, chanting. Some disembarked and tried to aggressively face the protesters, but were pulled back by security forces. We cannot carry on with business as usual with the genocide ongoing.

The Trump-regime's anti-humanities and pro-genocide insanity continues with more culture war: "Trump to withdraw U.S. from UNESCO over alleged bias against Israel", because, they claim, it "supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes" like diversity and referring to occupied Palestinian territory (oPt, the actual established legal term) as "occupied". npasyria.com/en/127567/
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that it would withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said
@bifouba The one does not contradict the other. If one considers Palestine to be a State, the territory one considers to be its then becoming occupied makes it occupied Palestinian territory, which is certainly then applicable both on the West Bank of and in the Gaza Strip of Palestine. Then if one doesn't consider there to be a Palestinian State, then it can and has still been called occupied Palestinian territory based on the people residing in the territory and that it is, still, in both locations occupied.
Buuut... I very much doubt the Trump-regime knows or cares about any of this. They just want to crush every non-WASP-supremacist person and derived culture in existence, everywhere. Just like Putin, but then non-Muscoivite-supremacist instead, and so on elsewhere likeminded too.
Yes, of course, but it's still the case that the UN in the past used “oPT” in places where it otherwise used country names (e.g., indicator tables), but now uses (State of) Palestine instead.
Indeed that neither contradicts nor changes the fact that it also recognises the territory of the State of Palestine to be illegally occupied.
The point was more that Trump is trying to re-litigate old questions while everyone else has already moved on.
@bifouba That regime does seem to strive to get back to the past, like a fictionalized version of the 1200s sometime maybe, so yeah, might be not so much interested in what is happening in actually real reality now. Sigh. Good times... 😕

It blows my mind that in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty five, the most efficient and effective way of transferring a file from one device to another remains emailing it to yourself as an attachment.
I'm sure local send is very good if (a) you install an app and (b) you are on the same network at the same time with all your devices. Still quicker to just email the goddamn attachment. Just gonna leave this here. anotherangrywoman.com/2023/01/…

there are some edge cases where it is more efficient to message it to my partner so that i can then access the chat program from the other device and save it.
For a brief time, phones at least had perfectly cromulent mass storage, and now they got MTP. (While Apple is doing its own thing, as it is wont to.) And linking two PCs using something like the nullmodem of yore? Forget about it.

Now it's fuckin impossible unless you install 9 copies of Corporate Dan's Special Wanking Club (not spyware) and let them all take pictures of your house somehow
*dingdong* hello could I have some minutes of your valuable time to speak about our lord and savior, LocalSend? It's an app/program and it is very easy to send files to other devices when they are in the same network. I love it.
Still the best way TBH. Even if at some later point the file is lost from both the source and destination, it's still there in email as long as I just archive that email. I used my email as a handy backup and version control for years. Still do at times, though more likely to mostly use cloud storage now.
is this why sending the file with a hand flick from one device to another features heavily in sci-fi/futuristic telly programs? Because in the bright future we will surely have figured that out?
Having N+1 rival companies all forcing their own ecosystems while being intentionally incompatible with the others is the same as having zero ecosytems at all... 🙈
You do know @syncthing exists? In lieu of just rsyncing files between SSH'd boxes, it is a very good system for setting up a (number of) shared folder(s) and being able to get at these files with versioning. And, using global relays, it works even if you're not currently on the same network as your home box.

It happened a couple of weeks ago, but I have been busy moving things ahead. Here's some news! I got my Canadian citizenship certificate!
Since my mom was born in Canada, the process was very fast. The effective date is retroactively... the day I was born! It was extra fast since I wrote a letter saying I was transgender and would really appreciate it expedited. They did a 5 month process in two weeks!
If you have a parent who was born in Canada, it's very easy to get certified as a Canadian citizen, since it's verifying that "you were one all along". Here's more info: canada.ca/en/immigration-refug…
But we are in an unusual position where if you have *any* born-in-Canada ancestors, you can probably be certified as a Canadian citizen. This won't be true forever, so don't wait!
If you are trans, write a personal letter saying so and asking it to be expedited.
For more information on being a US resident/citizen trying to get out of the US, and what your options are in various countries, I highly recommend Trans World Express transworldexpress.org/wiki/Mai…
The info there isn't necessarily *only* useful to trans people, but mostly is aimed at trans people, since trans people are very vulnerable right now.
Canada has many of its own problems and no place is fully safe or good. But currently Canada is looking pretty good in terms of "taking the risks to trans people seriously". We have yet to see how these will play out but:
- A transgender woman's case is being considered for asylum archive.is/j8twE - A nonbinary person's deportation to the US was halted because they petitioned they wouldn't be safe being in the US as nonbinary archive.is/j8twE
Also when the limited-time-opportunity ends it will hopefully be replaced with law that makes a bunch more people into Canadian citizens, those who had grandparents or great-grandparents (or maybe even great-great-grandparents) born in Canada. Not as generous as current grants, though, but still helpful to some. Final law may be worse than current draft, but we'll see.
