Deutlich mehr Angriffe auf Amts- und Mandatsträger 2024

Sie werden beleidigt, genötigt und auch mal tätlich angegriffen: Die Zahl der Angriffe auf Politikerinnen und Politiker ist im vergangenen Jahr einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge um fast 20 Prozent gegenüber 2023 gestiegen.

There once was a man with a plan
To get rare earths from a faraway land
He demanded from Kyiv
Causing quite a upheave
In exchange for aid, a risky demand

The secret to a perfect morning routine probably isn't what you think

sciencefocus.com/comment/celeb…

We're often told all about the daily routines of 'rich and successful' people, but have you noticed how many of them are... bonkers?

I explain why for BBC Science Focus Magazine. What better way to start the week, eh?

(1/N) MUSK COUP INFORMATION: Here are the collected information links that I have on the ongoing Elon Musk administrative coup. These cover Feb. 2-5.

1. Yale historian of fascism Tim Snyder:
"The Logic of Destruction"
snyder.substack.com/p/the-logi…

"The federal government has immense capacity and control over trillions of dollars. That power was a cocreation of the American people. It belongs to them. The oligarchs around Trump are working now to take it for themselves."

Im Austausch für US-Hilfen: Trump will Rohstoffe aus der Ukraine

US-Präsident Trump will die weitere Unterstützung seines Landes für die Ukraine an Bedingungen knüpfen: Die Ukraine soll den USA im Gegenzug wertvolle Rohstoffe liefern. Kanzler Scholz nannte Trumps Forderung "egoistisch".

New UK data sends nuclear warning for Australia
Australian Liberal/National party nuclear cost estimates way below reality. UK Sizewell C nuclear power plant project will now cost around GBP40 billion ($80b AUD) to construct. This is 2.5X capital cost per kW proposed by Australia's Liberal/Nationals Coalition.

Bei n-tv als Quelle bin ich ja immer ein bisschen skeptisch. Wär nice, wenn man diesen 10-Punkte-Plan irgendwo selbst lesen könnte, vielleicht ja auf sowas altmodischem wie der fucking Website der Grünen…?

Das Sharepic im Anhang (Quelle: gruene.social/@heilrath/113942…) liest sich schon weniger extrem, und auch beim ZDF klingt's nicht ganz so geifernd.

Das soll keine Verteidigung sein, cool find ich's immer noch nicht.

I have written a short piece on "How to use Mastodon as a Facebook replacement", mostly for my friends on FB, but worth sharing.

I hope it's useful for people. If so, please share. Feedback welcome. Full text with links here:

Also, Bluesky has something like 100 times more funding than Mastodon, and that funding comes from Bluesky selling itself to VC investors.

Those VC investors aren't charities, they are buying the network with an expectation of massive profits, which will have to happen through exploitation of users ("enshittification").

Mastodon hasn't sold itself to anyone (and cannot due to its structure), so it isn't on a path to exploit users.

Als Antwort auf Fedi.Tips

You cannot have your cake and eat it. Centralisation and VC money comes at a horrible long term cost.

If you want a network resistant to Musk-type takeovers, Bluesky isn't it.

The only network which cannot be easily bought out is the Fediverse (which Mastodon is part of). This is the place to be if you want a different kind of future.

I know not everyone cares who owns their networks, but if that's the case why bother leaving Twitter or Facebook?

Imagine being locked in a small cell, cut off from meaningful human contact, sunlight, even for years. This is the grim reality for at least 122,000 people each day across the U.S. in solitary confinement.

Solitary isolates individuals for up to 24 hours a day, inflicting profound harm. Recognized as a form of torture, solitary confinement remains pervasive in U.S. prisons. Here's how bad the situation is, and moreover, how we end this form of torture.

Many Pixelfed servers have an Instagram import feature that lets you import a certain amount of Instagram posts into Pixelfed. However, due to the unprecedented numbers of new people joining Pixelfed recently, a lot of Pixelfed servers have temporarily switched off the import feature as it uses a lot of server resources.

Keep in mind that almost all Pixelfed servers (like almost all Fediverse servers) are run by volunteers who personally pay the costs of the server, they don't run ads or sell people's data. They may simply not have enough money to enable the import feature when so many people are joining. You can help your server cope with the influx by donating to the person who runs it, you can ask your server admin how to donate.

If it's unclear when importing might be switched on, you can perhaps ask your server admin about it. This is especially easy to do on smaller servers.

Also note that if you do want to import your Instagram account, make sure you have downloaded the JSON archive from Instagram. Do NOT use the HTML archive, it won't work.

@Pixelfed Unofficial Help I know you might not have the knowledge, but have you thought making your pixelfed posts more insta-like? Like, you can create multiple pics with one sentence on each of them, and have the user swipe through them. I think it would look cleaner in a way :D

You could do something like:
Pic. 1:
A white background with the text having the color of your choice: Wanna import your account on Pixelfed?
Then a screenshot neatly framed below the text and an arrow to the side of the screenshot pointing to the right, indicating there are multiple other pics if the user is interested.

Pic. 2:
A pic with the white background and the text having the same color as on pic. 1 with the text:
Step 1: do this

Pic. 3:
Same as pic. 2:
Step 2: do that

And so on for the next pictures, probably with some screenshots as on Pic. 1 if needed, resized and/or cropped, but in a way that the text/content is still legible to the users.

What do you think? :D

(also pinging @Fedi.Tips for visibility of my comment) :D

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

It's tricky because although I set up the account to help Pixelfed users, for some reason most of my followers on the account are on Mastodon 😆

So... still not sure whether to format it in an Insta kind of way, or in a more traditional social media kind of way, because the way the posts are displayed depends on where people are following me from.

This is new to me, I will try to experiment, thank you so much for the detailed suggestions 😃

Global stock markets feeling the gloom,
Thanks to Trump's tariff tantrum, they swoon,
Investors are wary,
As markets turn scary,
Uncertainty spreading, like a monsoon.

On the Danish island of Bornholm, farmer Knud Andersen have cancelled his agreement to host American cruise ship tourists on his farm, which he has been doing 15 times every year.

In a post on Facebook Mr Andersen explains that American tourists are no longer welcome, because Donald Trump's statements about Denmark are "completely unacceptable" and "we will not open our doors to that kind of an attitude."

as an #american, i encourage #canada, #mexico, #panama, #denmark, etc to put the biggest middle finger up to any and all #americans and #usa interests as you can

we deserve it

my only hope is #america can try to begin to recover some good will in 4 years time

but that's a long way away

for now, the hell is just starting

and to minimize the hell you need to push back on #trump bullshit as loudly and as forcefully as you can

show the spirit and brains too many americans lack

Nun auch US-Zölle gegen Kanada für 30 Tage ausgesetzt

Hi Frank, welcome 👋

Feel free to ask if you want help with using this place, and there is also lots of help for new people on the website at fedi.tips (especially the Quick Start section at the top).

I think c0c0bird was suggesting you could add an "alt text" description to your photo. A lot of people do that on here as it helps blind people know what is in a post. When you post a photo, there is an option for adding a description 🙂
