Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK - No Way I Trust any Social Network with my ID

I don't live in the UK, but my point just is that I would never upload my government ID to any social network. I don't even like having to upload it to government sites, as they have a tendency to get hacked.

Diese ganze Corona-Aufarbeitung, Enquete-Kommission und auch wie @tagesschau darüber berichtet hat für mich zu sehr einen "Liebe Schwurbler ihr hattet doch die ganze Zeit Recht" Vibe 😩

Especially as the global effects of El Niño have faded, global temperatures have come down in the 12-month running mean perspective. Unfortunately, this is only temporary, and the long-term trend remains clearly upwards.

“Earlier this year, the Trump administration digitally erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument, scrubbing them from the history they helped shape. […]

Now, new signs suggest the administration has set its sights on another target: bisexual people. Key historical and cultural pages associated with the Stonewall site have been updated to describe the uprising as a milestone for ‘gay and lesbian rights,’ […].”

After Trans People, Trump Now Erasing Bisexual People From Stonewall National Monument

The "History and Culture" page no longer includes bisexual rights.

"At Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence, the establishment of humanitarian zones will also proceed during any ceasefire, should one occur. According to the plan, each Gazan entering the humanitarian zone will undergo inspection to ensure they carry no weapons and are not affiliated with Hamas. Consequently, those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination."

Israel is planning to exterminate all the Palestinians who will not voluntarily enter their concentration camps, and literally nobody cares.

Report: Israel considering partial withdrawal, ceasefire to be announced over weekend

According to the Saudi channel A-Sharq, the Israeli delegation has refused to withdraw from areas captured after March 2.

yesterday I learned that repositories on github can have a .github/README.md file which will be shown in place of the regular readme when people view the repository on github

this is really useful for all your projects you're moving github where you still want to temporarily leave a mirror behind; instead of changing the default branch you can just have it render the github-specific readme that explains the situation, but people cloning from git will still see all the regular content:

«The UN Made AI-Generated Refugees»

Sure, the authors will frame this as 'we needed to explore this technology', but tell me that "getting a publication on a 'sexy' topic" and "potential funding" didn't play a role…

The AIs are designed to teach people about atrocities in Sudan.

Ich bin gelangweilt, horny und muss dringend hier aufräumen ... was eine nervige Mischung 🙄

If you wonder what you can do for #Palestine, your time will come sooner than you are ready for. Dock #workers in #France, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to load military equipment destined for #Israel. A #genocide requires a lot of logistics/resources, so much so that all levels of society are involved. Be there and be counted when it creeps into your meetings, your procurement reviews, your accounting, orders, shifts, artistic opportunities...

Ist #Deutschland noch ein #Rechtsstaat?

Es gibt einen Rechtsanspruch darauf, dass #Einbürgerung​santräge innerhalb von drei Monaten bearbeitet werden. In Wuppertal besteht ein Rückstau von sechs Jahren.

Der Stadtrat bezahlt lieber erstmal ein paar „Berater“ die sich das angucken sollen, statt (viel zu spät) endlich mehr Menschen einzustellen um die Anträge abzuarbeiten. Konsequenzen für den Rechtsbruch scheint es keine zu geben

Dem Vernehmen nach sieht es in den meisten anderen Städten und Landkreisen auch nicht viel besser aus.

In other news it seems bluesky is going to require age verification for UK users from the end of July.

Shrug, it was always a burner account anyway

The 'Bluesky Is Over' party is beginning over on the platform.

“THE US IS imposing sanctions on a United Nations expert who published a report last month recommending sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and penalties for companies enabling its human rights violations in Palestine.”

Also, big headlines 2 days ago about genocide-enabling USA hosting genocidal Israeli leaders to discuss possible "truce” in the genocide of an entire people and culture.

Small headlines yesterday to inform us that those talks went nowhere. Quelle surprise.

Boycott the USA.

Irgendwie sind alle Schüsse der Schweizerinnen auf das gegnerische Tor vollkommen ungefährlich.

Diese "Enquete-Kommission" anstelle eines Untersuchungsausschusses ist erbärmlich.

Der einzige Zweck ist, #Spahn zu schützen, und dabei Aktivität vorzutäuschen. Viel Geld, um die Korruption der Union zu vertuschen.

Immer wieder. Gesetze? Nur für die anderen.

Das ist Klassenjustiz.
