    I will never stop being amused at how FOSS types, who believe so strongly in freedom, such as those who created Mastodon, don't understand that freedom means bots can overrun and destroy your place

    which, far as I can tell, is what has happened to mastodon in th last year, the bots have taken control

    RE: mastodon.online/@streetartutop

    Can anyone who has actually been to Gaza, or who speaks Arabic, verify that this widely shared image is real ?

    if you google
    Al-Rasheed Street gaza
    with a custom date range, before Oct7th, you don't see anything that looks like the image below
    given how striking this mosque is, I find it odd that there are not more images of it

    ditto if you search G for images of
    mosques in gaza strip

    the wiki article
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Rashi

    has many links about the destruction in the gaza strip, I didn't see an image that looks like this

    Similar to Iceland, there are several other countries where women recently have gone on strike to fight for gender equality.

    (1) In Argentina, women went on strike in 2019 to protest violence against women.

    (2) In Poland, women went on strike in 2016 to protest an abortion ban.

    (3) In Spain, women went on strike in 2018 to demand recognition of their labor and an end to gender-based violence.

    (4) In Belgium, women went on strike in 2019 to demand equal pay and an end to gender-based discrimination.

    (5) In France, women went on strike in 2019 to demand equal pay and an end to gender-based violence.

    (6) In Italy, women went on strike in 2019 to protest the government’s failure to address gender-based violence.

    (7) In Mexico, women went on strike in 2019 to protest gender-based violence and inequality.

    (8) In Chile, women went on strike in 2019 to protest gender-based violence and inequality.

    Also history shows that sex strikes are a surprisingly effective strategy for political change.

    does anyone else think that most of the posts from lemmy are crap ?

  10. OddOpinions5 @failedLyndonLaRouchite ·

    far as I can tell, most of us here on mastodon think google is evil

    but is there a *real alternative ?

    people often mention duck duck go, but far as I can tell, DDG is based on microsoft Bing, and MS is as bad, or almost as bad as G

    given that a modern search engine has to cost enormous sums of money to setup and maintain, I don't see how one can have a truly indepedent search engine

  11. OddOpinions5 @failedLyndonLaRouchite ·

    right now, this post (image) is the top post when I click on the "trending" button

    It has 493 reposts and 246 likes

    not sure, but far as I can tell, the top image is fake

    not a good look for fedi , IMO

  12. @failedLyndonLaRouchite I use Beyond Compare for *source* comparison. As a #technicalwriter I author in #DITA which is an xml specialization; nice because I can use the same toolchains and repos as my dev teams.

    And BC *can* diff PDFs almost as well as Acrobat (in some cases better), so long as you're ok with it having scraped all the text out of it to do so. Which may or may not be what you want, but in that case, y not just diff the source.

  13. @failedLyndonLaRouchite
    Absolutely. #mAbs are a net plus, certainly for the person.

  15. @failedLyndonLaRouchite My Dad worked for the #ITU and then the #UNDP as an electrical engineer in the #thirdWorld. One of the highlights of his life was to establish enough engineering schools in Africa that an uninterrupted telephone call could be made from Egypt to SA and he could see that this would be an on-going facility. So much for the UN being a “tool of the USA”. #unitedNations

    if we banned electronic to do lists, and you had to keep your to do list on paper, is that good or bad ?

  17. your reminder that at least in New England, these birds are not cute - because there are no predators, they have become an invasive, detructive species, destroying all the parks

    sorry

    Some people want to believe the far right is about hate. But I have maintained this not the case for a long time: The hate is only a tool, not the core.
    Hate functions as an enabler of an ultra-strong group #identity. It is the wedge that pushes people into one unified hierarchy of violence under one leader.
    The unity is the point, hate only carries the water.

    Question
    When I donate money to a charity, one thing I look for his how much the CEO is paid

    eg, the ACLU is doing a lot of good work, but according to their 2024 tax return, the CEO was paid over 1.3 million dollars !!

    So in 2024/2025, I did no give money to the ACLU, cause I thought the CEO's salary was absurd

    According to the 2025 tax return, the 2highest paid people are paid US $600,000/yr
    which to me is still grotesque, so no money to ACLU !!

    now, lets look at Amnesty international

  20. OddOpinions5 @failedLyndonLaRouchite ·

    the top two people at Amnesty International, US, were paid close to US $400,000 in 2024 (I didn't see the 2025 return)

    To me, that is still to high, so I won't donate to amnesty

    but maybe I'm being an asshat

    RE: mastodon.hongkongers.net/@glca

    I can't read the article due to my adblocker, but the post doesn't say

    "ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION "

    WHICH IS A RED FLAG FOR CLICKBAIT !!

    it says a lot about American "liberals" that the all know about Kent State, where white kids were shot, but very few know about this

    I think the spam detection software must be getting a little better, cause all the spammers have to resort to using weird, obviously suspicous email account names

    like jacobr1996b3jpmu3

    nothing wierd about that email name !!

    I've been away at bluesky for awhile

    and now that I am back here, I find my "Home" feed dominated by bots like this

    which is kind of sad
    but block is good !!

    on the one hand, it is unacceptable

    but OTOH, as the NYT explained about a month ago, given existing laws, it is very hard to prosecute anyone based on the #epstein files

    one of the *many wierd things about the internet is that the websites for ultra hi priced luxury items are always the worst websites

    eg
    rolls-roycemotorcars.com/en_US

  28. @failedLyndonLaRouchite Exactly. Relativity tied a bunch of strange results together in an elegant way. The same applies to some of the other examples on my list—e.g. the reason the Alvarez hypothesis gained widespread acceptance relatively quickly is that none of the other proposed mechanisms for the #KPg #extinction (formerly #KT) fit the rather odd data.
