@Piousunyn @enoch_exe_inc For minorities and the native peoples, it’s been like this since before founding of the US. But for everyone else to whom the phrase “We the People” refers, the Red Scares, the Reagan regime, and the early Bush years are periods of political repression and constitutional crises.
Huh. I know that one as a joke that ends "after four hours, the Met [1] come out of the woods with a rabbit covered in bruises saying "all right, all right, I'm a squirrel!"."
Citizen stops by the same Moscow newsstand every day, glancing at the newspapers, never buying. Eventually the news agent says, what are you looking for?”
Ooh, I heard another one the other day: Man goes to newsstand every day, asks to see the front page, then says “nevermind” and gives the paper back without buying it. Newsman finally asks him what he’s looking for? Man: An obituary Newsman: Those are in the back of the paper Man: Not the one I’m looking for
I've been wondering something and recently Foreign Man in a Foreign Land make a joke in his stream / video about it so now I wonder if there's a term for this idea and maybe some studies.
It's the idea that default people (whoever is catered to and normalised, wherever you live) have delayed development for risk aversion, to summarise FMiaFL's phrasing.
I'd put it more like "WTF is wrong with people that they don't treat anyone in out-groups like actual gd humans worth considering before shitting all over them?"
@MxVerda I understand that seeing your own privilege can be difficult, but the lack of empathy just baffles me. Empathy was a core part of my upbringing.
In 1989, at the border crossing to East Germany, I was 18, and the border guard launched into a five-minute tirade about how terrible everything in America was (I was from West Germany, so there was no reason to bring up the US, but hey). Anyway, the man described a dystopian world full of crime, rip-offs, and abuse—and voilà: just 35 years later, I find exactly that world in the news. Crazy. And of course, our provincial fascists in the european governments are following along. yay 🥴
Some of us have known since the First Trump Administration (FTA) than something had gone horribly wrong. A few had been aware since decades before that this disaster was inevitable, given the course of our sociopolitical identity. It's built into our Constitution… as is the means by which we might improve that document to "perfect the Union." Seems we are in the process of burning it down to rebuild… What are we going to make next?

Trumps Liste an Ländern, die künftig Zölle an die USA zahlen sollen, ist lang. Wie die Auswahl zustande kam, lässt sich zumindest in diesem Fall nicht nachvollziehen.
Ende des vergangenen Jahres spaltete sich die Jugendorganisation der WerteUnion ab und gründete eine neue Bewegung, das „Junge Freiheitsbündnis“. Sie befürchteten, dass die WerteUnion durch den Eintritt des ex-AfD-Chefs Jörg Meuthen nach links rücken würde. belltower.news/das-junge-freih…
' eine zunehmende Orientierung nach Links – die man wegen Meuthen befürchte.' Da hab ich erst schallend gelacht, und dann gedacht: Oh Mann, noch eine rechtsradikale Organisation!
Die U.S.-Botschaft verlangt in Briefen, dass Geschäftspartner in Deutschland sich an die Trump-Dekrete gegen Diversität etc. halten und droht sonst mit Abbruch der Geschäftsbeziehungen?
Ok, können sie haben. Die Botschaft könnte sofort konsequent handeln und jeglichen Strombezug einstellen. Der Berliner Stromnetzbetreiber unterhält nämlich ein großes Diversitätsprogramm, sogar auf Englisch nachlesbar: stromnetz.berlin/en/for-berlin…
Ja was! Dann schreiben wir mal alle an die U.S.Botschaft, dass sie sich an die Menschenrechte halten soll, die allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte, die sie auch unterschrieben haben. Oder sie sollen sie ausdrücklich kündigen und damit ihr wahres derzeitiges Gesicht zeigen. Schreiben wir alle einen oder jeden Tag einen Brief, so wie von T jeden Tag ein Dekret kommt. Wir lassen uns NICHT GLEICHSCHALTEN!!!!
@Regez Au ja. Alle schreiben bunte Briefe mit bunten Briefmarken an die Botschaft, mit der Aufforderung, sich sofort an die Vorgaben des Präsidenten zu halten. Ich würde noch eine CD von Rio Reiser und den Scherben dazu legen.
Make the american embassy dark again Make the american embassy dry again Make the american embassy freeze again Make the american embassy unreachable again
Ähhhhhhhh, seit wann hat der Kontinent Amerika EINE Botschaft für alle Länder auf diesem Kontinent. Ich glaube z.B. die Bewohner von Kanada, Mexiko und Panama kriegen da noch einen dickeren Hals.
Gilt das auch für die Stützpunkte die sie hier unterhalten? Einfach mal den Oberst von Dienst schreiben, das der Stützpunkt vom Strom genommen werden muss. Als Argument "Sorry aber die Stromanbieter/ Netz Anbieter hat ein Diversitäts / Eingliederungs - Programm für im Einsatz verwundete Veteranen." Mal sehen wie schnell das geht.
Könnte man der Botschaft verwehren ihre Energieversorgung auf fossil betriebene Notstromagregate umzustellen? Ich fürchte, da sie Diversität fürchten wie der sprichwörtliche Teufel das Weihwasser, sind sie bereit die Kosten dafür zu tragen; Hauptsache man entscheidet "ideologiefrei"!
Wäre auch genau das Verhalten, dass ich von allen angeschriebenen Unternehmen erwarten würde: Unverzüglich sämtliche Geschäftsbeziehungen mit diesen Primaten abbrechen. Sollen diese America-Alone-Spinner doch sehen, wie sie zurecht kommen.
Ich hatte früher eine große Abneigung gegen Regenbogenflaggen bei Konzernen. Bei zu vielen war die Verlogenheit offensichtlich. Z.B. Disney, die die lahmen Star Wars-Sequels mit oberflächlichem Virtue Signalling zugekleistert haben, aber John Boyega wegen seiner Hautfarbe von den Plakaten für den chinesischen Markt zensierten - für ein und denselben Film! Mehr Opportunismus geht einfach nicht. Widerwärtig. ABER jetzt können Unternehmen zeigen, dass es ihnen Ernst ist. Nice.
Wasser vergessen? Ach, und was ist mit Lebensmitteln? Gut vermutlich finden sich da schon ein paar rückgratlose Gesellen, aber Ami-Eiskrem ohne Strom? Die dürfen ja wahrscheinlich, dank "Drill Baby Drill", noch nicht mal erneuerbare Energie auf dem Dach erzeugen.
@Nike_Leonhard @benny Es gibt aber nur einen Stromnetzbetreiber, das ist ein Monopol und der hat ein Diversitätsprogramm. Bleibt für die Botschaft nur noch, off grid zu gehen
@leobm Genau. Entsprechend effizient wurde da auch beantwortet. Eigentlich hätte die Bundestagsverwaltung das gar nicht alles durchgehen lassen dürfen. Manche Dinge konnte man auch im Internet recherchieren. @JamesBont @ulrichkelber
@leobm Doch. Deswegen hab ich auch nicht gefordert, dass das Unternehmen den Anschluss kappt, sondern die Botschaft soll die Politik des Präsidenten konsequent umsetzen und von ihrer Seite aus alle Geschäftsverbindungen beenden.
If we tax billionaires out of existence we run the serious, inevitable risk of a healthy middle class & elections decided by voters, not fascist oligarchs.
Do we really want to give up 800 billionaires for universal healthcare, free college, & climate justice?

pan = 'irgendwas mit Getreide oder Teigwaren' poki = 'irgendwas zum was reintun; Gefäss, Behälter' uta = 'Mund'
Ich hab's wörtlich übersetzt: Maultaschen ;)

Copilot meint dazu:
--- Beginn Schauen wir uns „pan poki uta“ an:
pan → Getreide, Brot, Reis, stärkehaltige Lebensmittel
poki → Behälter, Box, etwas Eingeschlossenes
uta → Mund, Lippen
Wenn dieser Ausdruck etwas Essbares beschreibt, könnte er auf eine Art von gefülltem Brot oder Teigwaren hinweisen. Mögliche Bedeutungen könnten sein: - Ein Sandwich oder ein belegtes Brötchen - Eine Teigtasche wie ein Piroggi oder Empanada - Ein Burger oder ähnliches Gebäck mit Füllung

Eine sehr großartige Antwort auf die Frage "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” von Nate White, "british writer", irgendwann Ende 2020, vermutlich zuerst erschienen im London Daily; inzwischen an vielen Stellen im Netz veröffentlicht und noch immer aktuell:
--- zitat --- A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Eine sehr großartige Antwort auf die Frage "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” von Nate White, "british writer", irgendwann Ende 2020, vermutlich zuerst erschienen im London Daily; inzwischen an vielen Stellen im Netz veröffentlicht und noch immer aktuell:

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set. --- zitat ende ---
I was homeless when the Cat Distribution System recruited me. Camped under a bridge alongside the old canal, I shared my food and blanket with some homeless kittens.
“You’re a good person” a voice said.
I jumped and clutched my blanket, backing up against the concrete. “Leave me alone! I don’t have anything to steal.”
“Sorry to startle you. I’m here to offer you a job”
“You don’t know anything about me.”
The stranger indicated the kitten nose-down in a nearly empty tuna can. “I’ve seen what i need to see.”
“What’s the job? I won’t do evil.”
“Kitten smuggling. We get them to a safe country, find them homes. Subsidised accommodation but a lot of travel.”
That was six months ago. If you’re on a train, plane or suborbital and you see a kitten poking its nose out of a human or augmented human’s jacket, no you didn’t.

Die US-Regierung und Elon Musk scheinen einige Ideen der Technokratischen Bewegung aufzugreifen. Deren früherer kanadischer Leiter dürfte dabei auch eine Rolle spielen
Über Musks Sci-Fi-Missverständnis und seinen technokratischen Großvater:
Harvard-Historikerin Jill Lepore über Trump-Berater: »Elon Musk ist ein Mann von gestern«
»Im Silicon Valley von heute herrscht die Ideologie der Technokraten von damals. Natürlich gibt es dort erstaunliche, wunderbare Menschen, die an allen möglichen Projekten arbeiten. Waren Sie mal da? Wenn man mit den Start-up-Gründern dort ins Gespräch kommt, muss man feststellen, …
Jill Lepore hat Elon Musk erforscht. Er präsentiert sich als Futurist, identifiziert sich aber mit Comichelden des vorigen Jahrhunderts. Seine Ideenwelt ist noch älter und gefährlicher: Sie stammt von seinem Opa.
… dass viele dieser Leute keine andere Art von Wissen wertschätzen als das ihre. Viele finden es bizarr, dass sich jemand ernsthaft für Poesie, Musik, Philosophie oder Geschichte interessieren könnte. Und sie sind davon überzeugt, dass alle Probleme durch Technologie gelöst werden können.«

Not to discredit this but I feel like maybe there should be a directory about all topics with shelf numbers and not just about hard to talk about topics? As a library, you should give me a directory where I can find anything I want. And these topics could be included in that one directory and not singled out in the middle where anyone looking at it can be targeted by some fucking bigot.

Not if im crippled with social phobias, or dont want to bother a busy person at their desk. Also, the librarian at our school 30 years ago was an evil bitch which made me swear off reading books altogether.
Every library I've been to in the past decade has had computers everywhere that can search their catalog, and even check out books & media yourself. My library also has a 3D printing and craft room, an esports room, and lots of accessibility tools and conveniences for both mental and physical needs.

You're probably not telling the total truth, but maybe consider that one person being unpleasant 30 years ago isn't a good reason to abandon an entire form of media for your entire life. Let it go. The librarian is probably dead by now, and they don't have to matter to you anymore.
Friendly Mod remider to keep our community welcoming to all and please adhere to the guidelines on our main page and engage in discussions without using using sexist terminology.
no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia;
And there generally is, most libraries have a catalogue or at least a directory explaining the numbering system at a topic level. Thing is, this sign doesn't just help people come to the library wanting help with these things. It helps people in the library who are experiencing this and didn't know they could find a book to help them.
Hell some people don't even know they need help with these things until someone offers.
If someone is going to single you out for looking at list that includes "cancer", "divorce" and "loss of a parent" they didn't need a reason to target you in the first place.
It's just the Dewey Decimal System, so you could look up whatever topic you like to find what it would be classified under. There's thousands of topics that are covered here - there's a reason it's used for every non-fiction clarification in a library - that would be far too numerous to list on a single shelf listing. This library has chosen to prioritize the awkward questions as a way to help someone who otherwise may not know how to get help.
Alternatively, most libraries have a catalogue you can search by keyword and it will give you book results which will let you know where they are on the shelves. But again, that requires you to know that the catalogue exists and how to use it. It's always going to be easier to ask a librarian, who can make sure you find something to help.
I say this all the time! I use it to try to discredit conservatives when they make up reasons why we can't have good things. Like, look, you love the library, and you know conservatives would make up all sorts of reasons why it couldn't ever work. When they're going on about how free buses (or whatever) couldn't work, it's the same
Benjamin Franklin was a lover of life, and he seemed to think that books helped to love life...I honestly can't believe he was so influential as to create one of the finest institutions on the planet. Remember, he hung out with slavers....
Our state is trying. The trash have some coward called 'Book Ban dan'. The coward doesn't like free speech and has the morals of a serial killer. He is just working his way up to the name 'Book Burning dan' Trash gravitates toward power and there are no checks and balances left for that. That idiot is selling that books about 'the gay' are making people that way. I wonder what book he read that made him a spineless coward?
In order for things like this to keep being offered, please keep an eye on your local library's board and director. Ours are terrible, and gleefully destroying all our similar initiatives... Recent events have them feeling very empowered to do so.
Also, consider picking up a job like that too or running for a seat on such boards. There's always too few applicants for such roles and extremists have an easy time enacting change.
wtf who will go to library and read a book about rape or hiv while they are still nervous or tramatized by it? shit makes no sense. You will either search the internet or see a therapist.
Dieser Beitrag wurde bearbeitet. (Dienstag, 1. April 2025 um 16:26)
The internet is full of bullshit advice (ESPECIALLY around sex and health issues). Doctors and therapists cost money, and frankly aren't the best way to just get basic facts and education.
My small local library has kiosks near the exits where you can check out a book completely unassisted. I could walk in, pick out the most embarrassing book, check it out, and nobody would ever have to know.
Thanks to a sign like this, someone who didn't know the library had such resources, and/or was too embarrassed to ask, has a better chance of accessing that info. And they also know that the library staff WANTS them to be able to access that info, further reducing any stigma they might feel.
Kids/teens whose at-home internet usage is monitored by strict parents, and who can’t seek therapy without their parents’ consent/knowledge. The parents may even be complicit in/perpetrators of the rape.
Domestic abuse victims who live with their abuser.
Homeless who can’t regularly afford internet access or a therapist. Many homeless people regularly rely on public libraries for internet access, and are common victims of rape and abuse. So why not direct them to other resources while they’re there?
Elderly victims, who still fall back to books instead of the internet, and who grew up with a heavy stigma surrounding therapy. Elder abuse is a very common problem, as they’re often a very vulnerable demographic with few friends and limited mobility.
People who just like to read. For many people, books are a source of comfort. Not everything has to be done on a smartphone or desktop.
Just to name a few…

You're a troll, but I'll entertain you. "Books about rape or HIV" can also be books that are meant to be an emotional help instead of just a book with facts.
Some examples for books about rape: - I Have Been Raped, Now What? by Susan Henneberg - Sexual Assault: The Ultimate Teen Guide by Olivia Ghafoerkhan - Shout! by Laurie Halse Anderson - Strong at the Heart: How It Feels to Heal from Sexual Abuse by Carolyn Lehman
Books such as these are meant to help against the trauma.

It isn't comic sans though. It looks sort of like comic sans but it's much cleaner.
It's difficult to tell really because the quality the image isn't best but if you zoom in there's quite a lot of variation of the same letter form so it's an adaptive font.
Look at the two L's in bullying. They're not the same both times and the two t's in cutting merge into each other but not any of the other characters. So there's some custom letter forms going on there which comic sands doesn't support.
I see what you're saying... It's still comic sans adjacent and it bugs me.
My father uses it on everything and he teaches 1st grade so I just associate comic sans with kids. I used to help out a lot in his classroom growing up.
Seeing stuff like "rape" written in a font that my brain has tied to small children is unpleasant.
Federal library funding is under threat--- So go support one of the last remaining public spaces. It's an outdated idea, somewhere a human can exist without having to spend money.
I took my young kid to a recent library event - the first time I've been to a library in several years, to be honest - and overheard the organizer (or leader or whatever) of the event saying "that's why we're here: to give people somewhere safe they can have entertainment for free."
I didn't have much in the way of an opinion on that person prior to that, positive or negative, but I respected the hell out of them after hearing them say that.
For people dealing with or processing systemic trauma, this directory isn't a luxury or a stretch goal feature, it's an essential accessibilty feature.
There are a few things I'd add to that list, like burnout, disability, and neurodivergence, but it's a good start.
We gotta raise the bar, it's been in hell for too long now.

So refreshing seeing those words actually used in a public setting. Suicide instead of "self unaliving", rape instead of "grape", etc. Maybe I really am chronically online
You cannot "get addicted to almost anything." That's nonsense. The DSM-V does not recognize masturbation, porn use, or sex as causes of addiction. There's no such thing as "porn addiction," for example. On top of that, it's not as if masturbation addiction is a new idea that science has yet to accept—it's the opposite, with psychology recognizing that the concept doesn't hold up to scientific inquiry.
People who compulsively or excessively masturbate almost always have an underlying cause. Masturbating is the symptom of that cause, and addressing the root should bring any excessive behavior into balance.
The issue arises, though, that the internet often thinks that being horny more than their peers means there is something wrong with them. People tell them they're "addicted" to sex, and purity culture spreads in earnest. There's now entire industries that have sprung up based on this pseudoscience, and often because of cultural or religious upbringing, people do not question it.

38 upvotes 1 downvote. Theres always going to be people who downvote things. Could be someone who doesn't realize that system isn't used everywhere, or maybe their app uses a swipe feature they haven't turned off. Sometimes when I scroll down I'll accidentally have it slide left or right and up/downvote something without me ever really noticing it happened. I wouldn't hate on all of Lemmy because 1 downvote though, seems overzealous
The problem with this software as it exists now, is that I see your message in isolation in 'messages', and if I want to see the context I link to the overall thread, then I would have had to scroll down through the entire thread until I found the actual post, which I just did now, but a prolific poster is just not going to do that with every response. It is a glitch in Lenny itself that leads to these confusing return replies.
The problem is, Boost for Lemmy should be built in, not an add on. have a thing about apps riding on other apps riding on other apps. Eventually, security is compromised.

Heute morgen waren wir zum trans* Day of Visibility vorm Städtischen Krankenhaus. Wir wollen damit Sichtbarkeit für trans* Menschen in Krankenhäusern generieren, weshalb wir vor dem Eingang geflyert und uns mit Transpi und Flagge auf das Dach gestellt haben.
Wir wurden schnell vom Dach runter geholt, aber durften weiter vor Ort flyern. Dabei wurden überwiegend gute Gespräche geführt. Auch Pflegekräfte freuten sich über unser Dasein und bestätigten uns, dass die Verhältnisse für trans* Menschen im städtischen Krankenhaus sehr schlecht sind, denn das System kennt nur männlich und weiblich, kein divers, dazwischen, daneben oder außerhalb. Es kann nicht sein, dass sich trans* Menschen im Jahr 2025 noch immer fragen, „Wo sollen wir hin?“, immernoch täglicher Diskriminierung im Gesundheitssystem ausgesetzt sind, für geschlechtsangleichende Maßnahmen noch immer lange Wartezeiten haben und sehr weite Wege auf sich nehmen müssen.

Trotzdem können wir empowered aus dem Tag herausgehen, denn viele Menschen bestätigten ihr Entsetzen über die Situation und zeigten sich solidarisch mit trans* Menschen. Eine Person will ihrer trans* Freundin davon abraten, dieses diskriminierende Krankenhaus zu besuchen, während andere Menschen sich den Flyer nochmal in Ruhe durchlesen wollen.
Für uns ist es noch immer nur ein Anfang. Wir werden nicht aufhören zu kämpfen, bis es Gerechtigkeit gibt!
Im April gibt es eine Aktionswoche zum Thema trans* Gesundheit. werdet aktiv! 🙂

> Say you've written the code, in Java 5 or whatever, that launches nuclear missiles. You've tested it thoroughly, it's been reviewed six ways to Sunday because you do that with code like this (or you really, really, really should). It launches missiles and it works.
> A new version of Java comes out. Do you upgrade? No, of course you don't upgrade. It works. Upgrading buys you nothing but risk. Why on earth would you? Because you could blow up the world 10 milliseconds sooner after someone pushes the button?
> It launches fucking missiles. Of COURSE you don't do that.
> There is zero reason to ever do that, and to anyone managing such a project who's a grownup, that's obvious. You don't fuck with things that work just to be one of the cool kids. Especially not when the thing that works is life-or-death (well, in this case, just death).
> Another case: In the mid 2000s I trained some developers at Boeing. They had all this Fortran materials analysis code from the 70s - really fussy stuff, so you could do calculations like, if you have a sheet of composite material that is 2mm of this grade of aluminum bonded to that variety of fiberglass with this type of resin, and you drill a 1/2" hole in it, what is the effect on the strength of that airplane wing part when this amount of torque is applied at this angle. Really fussy, hard-to-do but when-it's-right-it's-right-forever stuff.
> They were taking a very sane, smart approach to it: Leave the Fortran code as-is - it works, don't fuck with it - just build a nice, friendly graphical UI in Java on top of it that *calls* the code as-is.
> We are used to broken software. The public has been trained to expect low quality as a fact of life - and the industry is rife with "agile" methodologies *designed* to churn out crappy software, because crappy guarantees a permanent ongoing revenue stream. It's an article of faith that everything is buggy (and if it isn't, we've got a process or two to sell you that will make it that way).
> It's ironic. Every other form of engineering involves moving parts and things that wear and decay and break. Software has no moving parts. Done well, it should need *vastly* less maintenance than your car or the bridges it drives on. Software can actually be *finished* - it is heresy to say it, but given a well-defined problem, it is possible to actually *solve* it and move on, and not need to babysit or revisit it. In fact, most of our modern technological world is possible because of such solved problems. But we're trained to ignore that.
> Yeah, COBOL is really long-in-the-tooth, and few people on earth want to code in it. But they have a working system with decades invested in addressing bugs and corner-cases.
> Rewriting stuff - especially things that are life-and-death - in a fit of pique, or because of an emotional reaction to the technology used, or because you want to use the toys all the cool kids use - is idiotic. It's immaturity on display to the world.
> Doing it with AI that's going to read COBOL code and churn something out in another language - so now you have code no human has read, written and understands - is simply insane. And the best software translators plus AI out there, is going to get things wrong - grievously wrong. And the odds of anyone figuring out what or where before it leads to disaster are low, never mind tracing that back to the original code and figuring out what that was supposed to do.
> They probably should find their way off COBOL simply because people who know it and want to endure using it are hard to find and expensive. But you do that gradually, walling off parts of the system that work already and calling them from your language-du-jour, not building any new parts of the system in COBOL, and when you do need to make a change in one of those walled off sections, you migrate just that part.
> We're basically talking about something like replacing the engine of a plane while it's flying. Now, do you do that a part-at-a-time with the ability to put back any piece where the new version fails? Or does it sound like a fine idea to vaporize the existing engine and beam in an object which a next-word-prediction software *says* is a contraption that does all the things the old engine did, and hope you don't crash?
> The people involved in this have ZERO technical judgement.

In 1991 When Carl Sagan met Dalai lama, Sagan always the skeptic asked Dalai lama,
"What if scientific investigations were to conclusively demonstrate that reincarnation does not happen? Would you stop believing in it?"
Dalai lama replied,
"If science can disprove reincarnation, Tibetan Buddhism would abandon belief in reincarnation. But it's going to be mighty hard to disprove reincarnation."

I get really annoyed by that poem because it is so trite and so lacking in understanding of how power works.
It needs to start with something like: First they came for the criminals and I did not speak out Because the criminals had been a problem for a long time. Then they made some group, that I knew nothing about, out to be criminals and I did not speak out Because I had no way of knowing they ere false accusations.
By the time they work their way down to a group that is obviously not criminals you have long since lost because by that stage they have everything practices and anyone with a conscience removed from the enforcement arms.
And if you do speak out ... Then they came for me because I had spoken out and was now an enemy of the state. Then they came for my family and friends because they were known associates of an enemy of the state and they needed to make more examples to encourage people to shut up.
Rarely do we get the luxury of seeing an obvious hate victim group being a first step. And yeah in modern times it may well be pos

@Steveg58 Yes, you have it exactly. The nuance of the original poem is lost in most retellings, as well as the context that the author actually supported the oppression of the first groups mentioned and didn't realize until later that he was part of the problem.
Ist ja fast peinlich, aber mit Copilots Erläuterungen - die Sinn ergeben - verstehe ich die äusserst dichte Sprache von Preciado deutlich besser (aus "Can the Monster speak")
Wenn du denkst: "So schlimm werden die Rechten ja nicht sein, sie treffen ja nur trans Personen, Migranten usw." wirst du böse erwachen. Das erleben die Menschen in den USA gerade. Du wirst nicht verschont, auch wenn du sie gewählt hast. Du hast deinen Zweck erfüllt, zu mehr brauchen sie dich nicht.
Ich finde an Bannon und Dugin sympathisch, dass sie offen und zitierfähig immer das Programm der nächsten Jahre erläutern. Sie sagen den stillen Teil laut. Schon seit Jahren. Ihnen glaubt nur nie jemand.
Wo gehen neue Windräder in Betrieb? Woher kommt der Strom? Reicht das Gas für den Winter? Der komplett überarbeitete ZEIT-ONLINE-Energiemonitor gibt Antworten.
Nach den drastischen Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen im Irak 2015/16 war für mich klar, dass ich auch als Familienvater nie wieder ein Auto mit Verbrennungsmotor kaufen wollte.
In vielen Industrieländern nehmen Golfplätze mehr Raum ein als Wind- und Solarparks – auch in Deutschland. Wissenschaftler der Jülicher Systemanalyse zeigen, dass auf diesen Flächen hunderte Gigawatt erneuerbarer Energie erzeugt werden könnten.
Zum Thema Nazis u.ä. an Wahlurnen oder "inhaltlich" stellen hab ich gestern in einem Beitrag dies hier von Marsha Gessen zitiert:
--- zitat --- "Lies can serve a number of functions. People lie to deflect, to avoid embarrassment or evade punishment by creating doubt, to escape confrontation or lighten the blow, to make themselves appear better, to get others to do or give something, and even to entertain.
However unskilled a person may be at lying, they usually hope that the lie will be convincing. Executives want shareholders to think that they have devised a foolproof path to profits. Defendants want juries to believe that there is a chance that someone else committed the crime.
People in relationships want their partners to think that they have never even considered cheating. Guests want the host to think that they like their fish overcooked. These lies can be annoying or amusing, but they are surmountable. They collapse in the face of facts.

The Trumpian lie is different. It is the power lie or the bully lie. It is the lie of the bigger kid who took your hat and is wearing it while denying that he took it. There is no defense against this lie because the point of the lie is to assert power, to show I can say what I want, when I want to.
The power lie conjures a different reality that demands that you choose between your experience and the bully's demands. Are you going to insist that you're wet from the rain or give in and say that the sun is shining?" --- zitat ende ---
Das ist "Wie viele Lichter, Winston?" aus "1984“ (bzw die TNG Kopie davon). Der Podcast ist aktuell, der zitierte Teil schon ein paar Jahre älter, von 2018 IIRC.
Für die Bullies - Trump, Putin, Orban, etc - ist die Power Lie einerseits Loyalitätstest und Machtdemonstration. Andererseits bewirkt sie eine Erosion der Wirklichkeit: Wenn die Führung eine beliebige Lüge zur Realität machen kann, spielen Fakten faktisch(!) keine Rolle mehr.
Ganz wichtig, nochmal: Es ist egal, ob die Lügenden selbst ihre Erzählungen glauben, also für real halten. Es ist sogar ziemlich egal, wie viele ihrer Anhänger*innen sie wirklich glauben. Entscheidend ist nur, dass sich die Mehrheit der verordneten Ansage fügt. Insbesondere jene, die die Anweisungen ausführen.
Deshalb ist es auch reichlich sinnlos, diese Phantasmen (also irrationalen Weltbilder) "inhaltlich stellen" oder einzeln faktisch widerlegen zu wollen(1). Es kann nur das System an sich verdeutlicht werden.
Zum Beispiel so, wie Jason Stanley es in "Wie Faschismus funktioniert" tut. Und dann dagegen angehen, wie Timothy Snyder es in "Über Tyrannei" empfiehlt.
(1) Brandolinis Gesetz ist ein Internet-Mem: „Das Widerlegen von Bullshit erfordert eine Größenordnung mehr Energie als dessen Produktion“. Deshalb funktioniert Steve Bannons "Flood the zone with shit". Sie können schneller neuen Unfug erzeugen, als er widerlegbar wäre und ihre Anhänger*innen wollen ja die Erzählung (Stanleys 10 Merkmale) glauben. Egal welche Details (an Falschbehauptungen) dazu benutzt werden.
Aus der wundervollen Abrechnung "Can the Monster Speak?" von Paul B. Preciado mit insbesondere Psychoanalytikys, aber eigentlich generell mit dem Regime der zweigeschlechtlichen Gesellschaftsnormierung:
"Medicine and the law of gender binarism portray the process of transsexuality as a narrow and dangerous path, a definitive, irreversible mutation, that can be achieved only in extreme conditions, such that few people, as few as possible, would be able to follow that path.
I, however, would say that the path is easier and more pleasant than most of the experiences and experiments that the dominant discourse suggests are desirable and obligatory and which have been legitimized by medical and judicial institutions.
In itself, gender transition is easier to accomplish than going to school every day at the same time throughout the long years of childhood and adolescence, easier than a faithful monogamous marriage, easier than pregnancy and childbirth, easier than starting a family, easier than finding a rewarding full-time job, easier than being happy in a consumer so

I would go so far as to say that, contrary to what is routinely claimed, the mutation process that accompanies gender transitioning is one of the most beautiful and joyous things that I have ever done in my life.
All the things that are terrible and terrifying about transsexuality and gender transitioning are not found in the process of transition itself, but in the way in which the boundaries between the sexes punish and threaten to kill anyone who dares cross them. It is not gender transitioning that is horrifying and dangerous, but the regime of sexual difference.“
Bernie for President. Was waren die USA dämlich letzten November … Naja wir waren auch nicht viel besser. Die besten Politiker werden hüben und drüben beschimpft und verfemt.
You are making all of us #Democrats look like right wing corporatist traitors and genocidal imperialist warmongering assholes !
And this damn Cuban agent Ocasio-Cortez will NOT become the hottest, most authentic, uncompromising and respectable future presidential candidate US has ever known under our watch !
Eine absolut großartige TV-Sendung von 1989 aus den USA. Interessant vor allem wegen "Toby", inzwischen besser bekannt mit dem echten Namen als Jim Sinclair.
Sinclair ist intergeschlechtlich und erklärt nichtbinär - "I remain openly and proudly neuter, both physically and socially" Quelle. Ausserdem autistisch und in dieser Richtung seit den 1990ern ganz besonders aktivistisch unterwegs. Das kommt in der Sendung noch nicht so raus. Etwas deutlicher wird, dass Sinclair auch asexuell ist.
Ich bin absolut beeindruckt, wie klar und schlagfertig Sinclair alles beantwortet. Auch die Nachfragen dieses Psychiaters, der hartnäckig wissen will, wie Sinclairs Chromosomen sind. Sinclair: "Wenn ich ohne Augen geboren worden wäre und Sie mir sagen, 'ja wenn du welche hättest, dann wären sie grün', welchen

Fünf kurze Teile, alles englisch, ich hab es sehr gefeiert. So weit war es schon mal 1989. Leider leider sähe das heute immer noch nicht viel anders aus.
Kleiner Sicherheitshinweis: Wenn ihr Auto fahrt und Musik per Shuffle Play laufen habt, dann sollte möglichst nicht der sentimalste Song von eurer Hochzeitsfeier recht laut laufen.
Mir gerade passiert. "The Power of Love", Fanky goes to Hollywood.
Und ich brauchte erst mal Scheibenwischer hinter der Brille 🥲 Mein wunderbares Ehewesen neben mir auch.
NDR: "Stoppt Gendern in Niedersachsen": Initiative ist gescheitert. Innerhalb eines Jahres kamen nur 21665 Unterschriften statt der nötigen 70000.
So wie schon in Hamburg.
Ich interpretiere das mal so, dass das Thema die breite Öffentlichkeit einfach nicht interessiert. Wahrscheinlich ist es den meisten zu egal, als dafür eine Unterschrift zu geben. Die positivste Interpretation wäre, dass viele die inklusiven Formen sogar gut finden. Aber das wäre wahrscheinlich übertrieben.

It's the idea that default people (whoever is catered to and normalised, wherever you live) have delayed development for risk aversion, to summarise FMiaFL's phrasing.
I'd put it more like "WTF is wrong with people that they don't treat anyone in out-groups like actual gd humans worth considering before shitting all over them?"
