Jubel und Skepsis in Israel nach Trump-Vorstoß zu Gaza
"Das ist die Lösung", jubelt Israels rechtsextremer Politiker Ben-Gvir über Trumps Gaza-Pläne. Die Opposition bleibt zurückhaltend. Und es gibt auch warnende Stimmen: Der Vorstoß könne Waffenruhe und Geiseln gefährden. Von Bettina Meier.
Aber er ist ideales Präsidentenfutter: er lenkt hervorragend von der wahren Macht ab. (frei nach Douglas Adams)

Bauschaum im Auspuff: Russland steckt wohl hinter Sabotageaktion
Unbekannte hatten bundesweit Bauschaum in Auspuffe gesprüht und Habeck-Aufkleber hinterlassen.FUNKE Mediengruppe (Berliner Morgenpost)

Remember the coup attempt in South Korea two months ago?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Sou…
It started with late night declaration of martial law. Proceeded to military being actually deployed.
People came out into the streets in the middle of the night and physically refused to follow directions by military personnel enforcing the martial law.
Policymakers voted to end the martial law, inside the National Assembly building that was being stormed by the military.
Coup ended within 6h.
There are so many elements here that I feel people miss – or refuse to understand – about coups.
For example, none of what the South Korean president did was legal. But that alone would not have stopped the coup.
If people just waited, twiddled their thumbs, and thoughtfully commented how "this is illegal", the coup could have probably succeeded.

Entendo que é unha broma porque Musk é un inútil, pero non pouca xente pensa que os nazis eran bos enxeñeiros e por iso conseguiron o que conseguiron. Pero os nazis non conseguiron nada pola súa intelixencia superior, simplemente tiñan muitísima man de obra baratísima ou directamente forzada a traballar para o rexime.
A idea dos nazis bos enxeñeiros é pura propaganda nazi.
No, I do not think you have done something wrong. Your instance "mastodon.gal" -- may not have turned on the translate APIs in their install of Mastodon, for example.
@FediTips is a wonderful account, they may be able to explain how better than I.
Good luck on reaching more readers.
👍
If your server offers translation features, there will be a "translate" button at the bottom of posts in other languages.
However, the translate feature depends on people choosing their own posting language correctly.
Also, your admin has to pay for the translation service as it depends on a third party service, so some of them may have it switched off. Ask your server's admin if you're not sure.

I mean, animals are exploited by other animals all the time... The relationships can be mutually beneficial though or at least commensal (one species benefits while the other neither benefits nor is harmed)
There are wasps that mimic bees and take over their hives for their own breeding purposes.
Some prairie dogs use bird calls as a predator warning system, which the bird exploits to steal the prairie dog's food.
Cuckoo birds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds to be raised by them
Some ants farm aphids for their sugary secretions
People were able to live side by side with so many animals over millennia without destroying entire populations. So I'd say that humans using animals instead of machines can be quite solarpunk.
and animals rape each other all the time ....
Mot stupid things ever said ....
I know you mean well, but the first part of your comment is an appeal to nature - the assertion that because some thing is natural, that it is good, or at least unavoidable. In reality it sidesteps the question: is animal exploitation part of solarpunk?
I believe in harm reduction and imperfect solutions, so I would say yes, to a certain degree.
But I don't want to be all negative (doomerism is the antithesis of solarpunk after all). You raise some good examples, and for my part, if we can show that animal suffering under human care is less than if they were left totally free, then I would feel a lot less gross about it.
I never said that animal exploitation is good, just that it is 'natural' in the world. Solarpunk, as an idea, has everything to do with nature. Coexisting and living with it, rather than against it.
Is it wrong to use ladybugs as a form of pest control instead of harmful chemicals?
It's it wrong to ride a horse around a farm instead of an ATV or even an electric UTV?
Additionally, the definition of exploitation can vary wildly from person to person, and even moreso between cultures. So imo, pretty much everything that happens in the animal kingdom is party of solarpunk. The "good" and the "bad." As nothing is all good or all bad. Even murder can be justified in the most extreme cases (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, Trump, billionaire CEOs, etc )
Consent to be loved, and protected from predators and disease? Or their consent for me taking a margin of their labor?

It's totally a personal thing! Some people have accounts on many different types of server so they can use the different servers' features. They may specialise in certain types of posts on one account, and different types of posts on another.
For example Friendica lets you do very long posts, so this could be used as a kind of blog account.
But if you just want to have one account that's often enough for a lot of people.

Is there another evil sinister plan luring or is it just enough options.
I have to check the Project 2025 manual for that.
