I love the implication that only Americans speak English.

Why has TikTok got to be the carcinisation of websites. YouTube is TikTok, Instagram is TikTok, fucking porn websites are TikTok. Soon you’ll be looking up a solution to a video game puzzle and the website will be a 9:16 video of text-to-speech reading out 8 paragraphs of what should’ve be text.
I think it’s generally a bad move trying to explain the technology first, it’s how people tried to advertise Mastodon when the Tumblr exodus happened and I bounced straight off it. I looked at the list of instances and they were all stuff like “a Mastodon instance for sci-fi nerds” and I couldn’t get over the inertia of tying myself to that designated interest.
What we need to do is get people to create accounts and experience the fediverse and then we can point them at examples of the tech if they want to know more, stuff like “that person you replied to is on a different instance and you’re able to speak to each other because of ~federation~”.
What do you mean by handwriting features? I’ve played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn’t call them handwriting features.
That’s what the author says IANA will do based on the precedent of .yu, but IANA hasn’t actually said what they’ll do yet.
I doubt they’ll kill the domain outright, there’s too many long established websites using it and too much money behind those domains. It helps that the Chagos Island transfer is a lot less messy than the breakup of Yugoslavia (hopefully at least as it hasn’t actually happened yet).
This looks a lot like the government trying to get ahead of a story, because I’ve never heard anyone accuse him of having a women problem (well, anyone credible, Duffield doesn’t count).
handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications
To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.

So it does, apologies to Gary Overacre. I don’t know why, but it just triggered my AI image alarm.
Honestly, battered broccoli would probably go hard.
I enjoyed Howard Jacobson’s piece in today’s Observer on one specific form of it that’s found a new prevalence
This is a bad article that conflates wanting Israel to kill less children with antisemitism.
Here we were again, the same merciless infanticides inscribed in the imaginations of medieval Christians. Only this time, instead of operating on the midnight streets of Lincoln and Norwich, they target Palestinian schools, the paediatric wards of hospitals, the tiny fragile bodies of children themselves. Even when there are other explanations for the devastation, no one really believes them. Reporters whose reports are proved wrong see no reason to apologise. No amendment of their calumnies. What is there to apologise for? It could have been true.
The difference is that Israel has bombed schools and hospitals, this conflation of the proven actions of Israel with medieval pogroms is frankly vile. Would have been nice if he could’ve provided an example of the ‘reporters proven wrong’, because in context he seems to be implying that Israel’s targeting of schools and hospitals is the thing that’s been proven wrong, which would be weird given that Israel itself will tell you it’s targeting schools.
Ask how Israel is able to target innocent children with such deadly accuracy and no one can tell you. Ask why they would want to target innocent children and make themselves despised among the nations of the Earth and no one can tell you that either.
I’ve yet to see any journalist claim that Israel is deliberately targeting children.
Only compare reporting from Gaza with reporting from Ukraine. Bombs have fallen there, too, but how often is the burial of Ukrainian children the lead story?
Because Russia has killed less children, 2,000 according to UNICEF compared to the 12,000 that have been killed in Gaza despite the Ukraine war starting in 2022. I don’t think this is because Russia a more moral actor, but Israel clearly isn’t trying to avoid child casualties.
Yeah, I can imagine watching the west endlessly debate how you’re allowed to defend your country is quite frustrating when Israel is given carte blanche to start a regional conflict.
The red is probably for communism, the colours are the same as the anarcho-communism flag. Personally, I’ve always associated fascism with black, no idea why.
But wouldn’t three of the lines need to be red for that? Something like this:
Why are all the inner lines black but one? I hate it.
I did read it, I just think it demonstrates the same problem as Stramer’s freebies, rich people pushing money around in policies to buy influence.
Tbf, there is like 350 million of you lot, that’s like 75% of the Anglosphere, so it makes sense you’d have the most news.
