Replied to: ⚠️ This is the post that Mastodon Social took down. Can you see any harassment? Can you see any violence or sexual imagery? Can you see any hate speech? No. What you see is a very polite comment suggesting the lessons of history have not been learned. Those disgraceful mastodon social admins have done this too often - undermining anti-genocide voices. I have told them I will take formal action via the relevant German regulators. Shame on them. Shame. #mastodon #germany #gaza #genocide

Replied to: During my days in Croatia, one of the best things I did was take a ferry from Split to Supetar. Here, you can see some people chilling on the ferry while we waited to arrive on the island. I took two film cameras on this trip and used all my film. I was especially curious to see how this one would behave since it was heavily expired, but it worked fine. 📷 Lomography LC/A+ 🎞️ Ilford HP5 Expired #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #analogphotography #ftrcgoestoSplit #visitsplit #travel #visitcroatia

Eurovision is always a fun stress test for the fediverse. Across #esc, #Eurovision, #esc25, and #esc2025, over 15K posts have been been made today. For comparison, 863 posts have been made in another trending hashtag, #Caturday.

About 40% WE ARE SO CLOSE KEEP GOING, 40% WE DID IT, LET'S KEEP GOING and 20% SOME SIGNATURES ARE ALWAYS DISCOUNTED KEEP GOING, the whole thing is beautiful and amazing and inspiring and if you're in Europe just go put your name down. https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

Boosted: I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service. If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them. If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever. This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney. The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States. https://www.ft.com/content/743c1dec-0c5c-4c39-a940-830ce156c235 #tech #canada #cdnpoli #twitter #x #elonmusk #misinformation #cdnelxn #cdnelection

Boosted: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: My non-algo feed on @Mastodon that is time-based and enhanced by boosts from people I follow is the most enjoyable method for consuming social posts and it improves my mental health versus how every other platform approaches it. I pretty much use Mastodon >90% of the time now. It’s worth taking the time to slowly build your network and liberally mute, unfollow, and block who you don’t like. I’m on a single-person instance and I was able to do it.
