Docker implemented in around 100 lines of bash. Has science gone too far?.. :scaredycat: h/t to @czesiekhaker for pointing it out to me

PSA: there is a new fedi instance called mastodon[.]tech. Confusingly, it is running Pleroma. People behind it set up a @Tech account, and reached out to me (and I can only presume others). I told them in private what I am telling everyone in public now: I find it very sketchy, based on the interaction with that account, and on mastodon.technology-lookalike domain. I have on good authority they are in no way affiliated with or endorsed by mastodon.technology. I will stay away from them.

Just to be very clear, there is nothing wrong with using Pleroma! But calling an instance mastodon[.]tech and using Pleroma to run it is something I find somewhat sketchy.

@rysiek It seems that @Tech blocked me so I’ll repeat it publicly. As I told them privately before, Mastodon is a registered trademark and permission to use it in a domain name is only given to those running Mastodon on the domain. You cannot run Pleroma and call it Mastodon. Trademarks are meant to prevent confusion and this is a clear cut case of infringement.

It just hit me... Same people who complain about how #Gemini is "limited" ("no styling! no in-line links! no nested lists!") and ridicule it for that, tend to happily publish their opinions on :birdsite: , often in long threads of tweets — with no styling, no in-line links, and no nested lists (or lists of any kind), of course. :thaenkin:

When defending sites like kiwifarms by saying something along the lines of "but there was so much good/important/etc stuff there, the horrible stuff was only a tiny minority!" please consider: 1. if you add a glass of wine to a barrel of sewage, you get sewage; 2. if you add a glass of sewage to a barrel of wine, you also get sewage.

So, @edri is looking for creative writers: We all need good, positive narratives. If you write, apply!

https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/short_news/russian-duma-questions-lithuanias-independence/ > A draft bill submitted to the Russian State Duma calls for repealing the Decree of the State Council of the USSR “On the Recognition of the Independence of the Republic of Lithuania.”

I work at a ccTLD (.IS), and lately we are seeing a *lot* of new accounts immediately registering multiple domains that all had been registered in the past. I suspect we're not the only ccTLD that sees this. We know of at least two instances of this being used to take over social media accounts that had e-mails in expired domains set as backup e-mail addresses. This seems to be organized and well-resourced. Please double-check you don't use e-mails in any expired domains anywhere.

What do we want? When do we want it?

I dive deeper into my reasoning in the blogpost (inb4 "like and subscribe"). Sorry about the subtoot (kinda-sorta), but didn't want to jump into the artist's thread and do a reply-guy thing. Obviously everyone has the right to choose whatever license they like and feel suits them best! But I feel there is a lot of mythos around what No Derivatives can and cannot do, and I believe it is harmful to the broader libre culture movement.

For your consideration: If you go around asking random people on the streets about X, in a country where criticizing X might land them in jail for 15 years, you will only get responses that are pro-X. This does not, in fact, prove that all these people are pro-X. Jumping to such conclusions is not just bad journalism, it is simply disingenuous and borderline malicious.

I never had to hide my real opinions from the secret police, under threat of jail or worse, but my parents most definitely have. This is a lived experience of 50+ people in Poland, and a *very* real thing for their children (simply because it was so present during our upbringing). Watching armchair sociologists / political scientists pontificate on how deeply the population of a certain Slavic country supports the state that is oppressing them is something I just cannot stand, on a very personal level.

It's been exactly one year since the #Fagradalsfjall eruption started in #Iceland. 🌋 My old thread about the experience of visiting that eruption site while it was still active:

People are protesting and otherwise voicing their opposition to the invasion in Ukraine in Belarus and all over Russia. there are protests, vigils, petitions, public statements. Let me be very clear: this is nothing short of heroism. For people in #Russia or in #Belarus, doing any of this is dangerous, including physically. They get arrested. They get beaten. They get blacklisted, and put under state surveillance. Russians and Belarusians are not attacking #Ukraine. #Putin is.

The #Ukraine situation is getting heated. There are fedi discussions about this, and there will be more. It is worth being mindful of the fact that there are plenty (if not a majority) of Russians who do not condone nor support the aggressive course of action taken by the Kremlin. They have protested in the thousands on the streets when they were denied fair elections. Many have paid the price for trying to have a voice. It's easy to drop into using "Russians" as a mental shortcut. Let's not.

You click a link to a news site, to read an article that seems interesting. On the page that loads there is the article, but also, somewhere on the right, often near the bottom, there is a small video player. Inexplicably, it was not blocked by your ad-blocker. It is auto-playing a news video that is not connected to the article. Sound is often on. You: Anonymous poll

I really wish browsers would come with a way to block <video> elements. As in, literally pretend they have no idea what a <video> is. Back when flash was a thing, you could usually set it to only load when you click the element, with per-domain exceptions.

@rysiek @czesiekhaker So "in 1 line of Perl" is the next logical step, right?
@rysiek@mastodon.technology @czesiekhaker@mastodon.social sounds like something @domi@donotsta.re would make
@rysiek @czesiekhaker love to see it, actually.
I'm often of the opinion that most of the things that exist in tech are just excessive anyway...
