Bin bisschen genervt, alle bewerfen sich mit Beiträgen, die sie ununterbrochen teilen für Petitionen auf Campact und WeAct, 100.000e haben da gezeichnet. Petitionen, die von der Politik übersehen werden können. Aber die Petition, die wenn sie NUR 30.000 Mitzeichnende hat, vom Bundestag wahrgenommen werden muss, kommt grad mal auf 2500
Können wir mal alle mitmachen:
Sicherstellung einer langfristigen ausreichenden Finanzierung für zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen

Mozilla have published an update to this:
> "UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice."
I want to break this down.

I've been pretty comfortable in what others have delineated as "queer mastodon" for years now. I don't see most of the behaviors people decry about "tech mastodon", despite talking about technology with other people that are also interested in technology. But the same reciprocal attitude of respect permeates our interactions.
But then, once a week or so, one of my posts will reach escape velocity and a bunch of strangers will flood my mentions with arrogance or needless hostility. And then I'm like, "Oh, this must be what other folks (often from different marginalized groups than myself) mean when they say Mastodon has a ____ problem."
So I'd just like to thank everyone that I interact with for not being jerks all the time.
That goes especially to the folks that moderate the instances I mostly interact with. Whatever volumes of bullshit y'all deal with, you've managed to curate healthy environments. It makes a difference.
Hätten Kinder und Jugendliche die Wahl, dann würde sich die Mehrheit für die Linkspartei entscheiden. So das Ergebnis der U18-Bundestagswahl, an der sich fast 170.000 junge Menschen beteiligt haben. Von J. Eberl und M. Krczal.
Testwahl: Kinder und Jugendliche würden links wählen

Storytime: Queers make the world a safer place
A straight white guy friend was complaining about not being able to find any gaming groups for WoW that weren't full of MAGA assholes. He said he keeps joining guilds with older (60+) casual gamers like himself because he can't keep up with the kids, and he'll start to make friends, but then they will reveal themselves to be Trump-lovers. He asked, "What am I doing wrong?"
I said, "First of all, your screen name is Russian. Leftys are gonna be wary of that, and the Alt-right loves it.
Second, you should put some social signals in your bio, like pronouns."
"Okay, but how do I tell people I'm cool, but I'm not gay or trans?"
I explained to him what "cis" and "ally" mean. He had never heard of this before, which showed me what kind of online spaces he was landing in.
Next, I said, "Look for the furries."
"But, I'm not a furry?"
"Yes, but the presence of furries are like lichen. They are a sign of a healthy ecosystem."
This was about 3 months ago. Now, he tells me he joined a guild labeled as LGBTQ-friendly and has made several new cool friends. He says, "I thought they would be talking about sex all the time but it's just a regular group." He mentioned that there are many women and PoC in the group too, and "Everyone's so nice on dungeon runs, telling people they did a good job and being supportive, sharing loot."
I didn't tell him that this is what the whole world would be like without patriarchal toxic masculinity, because I think he figured it out himself.

Persönliches erleben von Anschlag, Politik und Rassissmus
Hallo liebe Freund:innen,
ich bin jetzt langsam so weit darüber schreiben zu können:
Ich war am Donnerstag auf der Streikdemo von Verdi als der Anschlag passierte. Das Auto kam dort zum stehen, wo mein Kollege und ich gerade noch gelaufen waren. Die Situation war sehr unübersichtlich. Wir wussten nicht, wer von uns verletzt war. Ob jemand sterben würde. Die Situation war und ist schwer zu ertragen. (1/x)
Here’s what the assholes attacking Codeberg to try and make it unsuable don’t understand:
It doesn’t matter.
I can’t push to Codeberg right now? So fucking what?
You think I’m going to go running back to Github because you’ve temporarily inconvenienced me?
You think I give a couple of hundred euros to Codeberg every year to demand perfect service?
I support them by hosting my code there and by donating to them because I believe in what they do and because I want to see them succeed and to support alternatives to the likes of toxic trillion-dollar corporations like Microsoft.
So go ahead, take them off the web for as long as you can. When you’re bored, or out of money, or whatever, I’ll still be there, on Codeberg, happily supporting a local and ethical alternative to your US/Silicon Valley/Big Tech bullshit.
Das ifo hat berechnet, wie sich die Steuerpläne der Parteien auf den Bundeshaushalt auswirken würden. Keine Gegenfinanzierung gibt es bei BSW, CDU/CSU, FDP und AfD. Bei SPD und Grünen bleibt nix übrig!
Übrigens: das ifo ist nicht links-grün, sondern arbeitgebernah

Borders are an evil, stupid, anti-human technology. Nothing in the world gives any government in the world any MORAL right to say 'you aren't allowed in because we don't like you'.
"ZDF wirft Moderator (FÜR HEUTE!) aus "Die Anstalt" – wegen Parteiwerbung"
"In der ZDF-"Anstalt" kommt es am Dienstag kurzfristig zu einer personellen Veränderung: Der langjährige Moderator Max Uthoff, der seit 2014 nur ein einziges Mal bei der Aufzeichnung der Satireshow gefehlt hat, darf nicht auftreten. Das hat das ZDF auf Nachfrage von t-online bestätigt. Zuerst hatte der Journalist Thilo Jung auf X über den Vorgang berichtet."

Introducing Trans Europe Planner: Planning long, cross-country train trips can be super frustrating. Perhaps there is an easier way?
Prototype running live at https://trans-europe-planner.eu/ (works on mobile but best viewed on desktop)
See demo video below:
200.000 in München (320.000 laut Veranstaltern). Das sind sicher wieder alles diese Linksextremisten und von der Regierung finanzierten NGOs, nehme ich an?
Oder haben die Leute womöglich freiwillig und ganz echt keine Lust auf rassistische Symbolpolitik für AfD-Wähler?

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-
American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.
We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.
So we made a wiki.
We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are availible at the moment.
The fedi needs to have a conversation about its values.
The Pixelfed project raised 100k within a few days despite the numerous incidents of its founder displaying the behavior we, allegedly, condemn because it resembles the leadership of the platforms we are trying to get away from.
Meanwhile, I’ve been struggling to raise the same amount for the last two years to complete projects that have been proven to be effective tools against hate and abuse in an attempt to keep the fedi from hemorrhaging Black and Brown folks to Bluesky.

Does the fedi actually want to be an ethical alternative to centralized platforms or is that just something people say to feel good about themselves while it continues to replicate the same issues from predatory services?
We really need to have a long talk about what the fedi really is beyond the fluff.
This is really disgusting.
Again, if decentralized project maintainers are going to have the same values and attitudes of the sociopaths that run centralized platforms, what’s the point? https://mastodon.art/@Curator/113961394402916501
