@Mabande jag tror att det är godhetsfällan. YJ ser sig själv som En God Person som slåss för barnen, och med den skeva självbilden blir det lättare att avfärda fakta. Dunning Kruger spelar nog också in (dvs inte "dum" men definitivt “läser fakta som fan läser bibeln)@Krux_22 @samuel

If you're living in Sweden, you can sign a petition against #ChatControl that Ylva "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire” Johansson is trying to push through despite experts saying that it’s unbalanced: https://agera.skiftet.org/campaigns/stoppa-chat-control

@helloandy I love that they're moving to USB-C. The iPad already did it, and soon we'll be able to get rid of all the lightning cables!

@troed that stood out to me too. I find it’s the easiest ones among USB cables, and the slight advantage lightning has is negated by the fact that only iPads and iPhones used them. MacBooks have used USB-C for a good while now, no complaints there either on my part. @helloandy

@troed det här påminner mig om att jag borde kolla upp hur den bensindrivna generatorn vi fick med huset funkar …

@troed det är samma här, och den är nog bara avsedd att driva saker som vattenpump och kyl/frys när de oplanderade avbrotten blir långa. Peppar, peppar, så har de många avbrotten vi haft under de tre år jag bott här varit max en halvtimme. Hittills 😅

I reread "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson over the summer. It has a core idea about memetics that is very interesting, and it was much more fun than I remembered. I was only 19 when I read it the first time, and a lot of the satire was lost to my inexperience of the world in general and the US in particular.It's a great read that still holds up today. I'd love to do a book club discussion around it.#bookstodon #SnowCrash #NealStephenson #scifi

@troed there are so many good books out there that I'm easier surprised by someone having read it. If you do get a chance to read it, I’m really interested in hearing what you think!

@troed block borde du kunna se genom att titta på personens profil via den (web)app du använder (dvs inloggat läge) och sen jämföra med att kolla personens profil på deras server (dvs icke inloggat läge). Mute däremot finns nog inget sätt se.

800 dollars for a reservation. People making five figures per year on making reservations and then selling them. So. Many. Different. Services. This is rent-seeking on restaurants, because they don't get paid, and take the losses on no-shows.Fascinating read about the morally ambiguous ecosystem of table reservations in New York.If you're met by a paywall, Archive.org has your back: https://web.archive.org/web/20240422130317/https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-local-correspondents/why-you-cant-get-a-restaurant-reservationhttps://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112314884800329617

TIL that there is a word for when rich people procreate with close relatives.No, it's not “inbreeding”. That's for animals and plebs.When aristocrats do it, it's “consanguinity”.

If you have any doubts that Israel is involved in war crimes, read this report from 972 Magazine (written by Jewish and Palestinian journalists) about ‘Lavender’, the AI that makes kill decisions for the IDF. One thing is clear and that is that they accept collateral damage of women and children.https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

"I think, therefore I am" has aged like milk, and I think this makes Descartes overrated as a philosopher (this being his first principle and all).As late as last Friday, a group of academics in relevant fields, signed “The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness", which says pretty much the same thing as the Cambridge declaration from 2012: consciousness is likely possessed my most, if not all, animals."I feel, therefore I am" is a statement that would have aged like wine.#philosophy

I am also convinced that a lot of the suffering animals and humans (like babies) have endured in the hands of trained doctors can be traced back to Descartes:The conclusion of “I think, therefore I am" in mainstream practice has been “I think, therefore I can feel pain”.It's preposterous, really.

Ellen DeGeneres: “I got kicked out of show business”.No, sweetie, you were cancelled because you are a horrible person to anyone you deem below you, while stroking the egos of anyone you consider above you.You bullied people on your show, both guests and coworkers.You were cancelled because people saw the real you and realized that you're petty, unkind, and a sociopath who posed as a good person.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c89zy07x40no

U.S. maternal death rates almost doubled between 2014 and 2021. Black women are disproportionately harmed by this: black individuals are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related deaths than white individuals. https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2024/03/u-s-maternal-death-rate-increasing-at-an-alarming-rate/

L Ron Musk (my current favorite internet nickname for Apartheid Clyde) has now come out as a GOP supporter. He has met with Cheetolini, so I assume there's some dealing going on there: both are enormous narcissists, surrounded by yes-men, hooked on drugs, and with a grasp of science that is tenuous if you average the two of them, both with a savior complex …Donnie D’oh might not have gotten money, but he must've offered something valuable to earn Space Karen’s public support.

@futurebird amen. A big source for my schadenfreude is that the horse L Ron bet on is a flailing one-trick pony whose tricks no longer bite on the opposition. Forbes and Bloomberg have had multiple articles questioning Musk's ability to keep X without triggering a decline in the Tesla stock by 5% or more. Managers at Barclay have lost 40% compensation because cofinancing this was such a bad deal. When Wall street guys fail downwards because of him, you know he's in for helluva hangover.

Swedish government going down the Zionist path:Members of parliament called Jews protesting an IDF-soldier's talk “odjur" (the translation would be something like animal/vermin)One of the *ministers* amplified the message. As far as I can tell, nobody has apologized and when journalists ask they just double down on it.Like a Jewish person said: in Sweden, Jews are both the racket and the ball, being used and being hit/abused at the same time.#sweden #zionism #antisemitism

Today I learned that there are adoptions where the dog chooses their human. This is the stuff I need to see when the world is sliding into cruelty and insanity.If you too need a good cry but for the right reasons, there's a lot of videos from the various places that have tried this.https://youtu.be/Ap3ukbO_KZo#DogsOfMastodon
