It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.

Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.

Which is a war crime.

“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…

Edit: You’d think I’d know to check what autocorrect does to what I type by now.

Being able to identify the characters might help some, but otherwise no. It’s a two part capsule episode

Essay Tea, eh!

Nope nope nope nope nope

Are you trying to erase Odo?

No idea, but the realGulDukat Twitter account is active on Mastodon: @realGulDukat

Yeah, 4/12 in my astro classes was definitely a significantly better ratio than the same 4 out of 80 in my general physics classes.

Time to go watch Junkball videos all morning.

Glad to hear the explosion has been contained and that you can stand down red alert.

There’s nothing wrong with graphs whose y axies don’t start at zero. They can be used to misdirect people, but if you’re capable of actually seeing the numbers in the axes and doing a little bit of thought, they tell you exactly what one that starts at zero does.

Plus, the opaque spike is shown on the secondary y axis, which does start at 0. It’s the translucent layer that’s mapped to the primary axis.

I don’t want to. I just want to have them in my home feed.

Fair enough. I’m glad there’s something out there that meets your need, then.

I like the “antennas” feature a lot

For the uninitiated, Firefish’s antennae are saved searches, where you can specify lists of keywords and users and come back to them over and over again. It’s similar to Mastodon’s hashtag follow feature, only more flexible. Though, IIRC, it doesn’t add the search results to your home feed; it keeps them separate, and undiluted.

From an administrator’s point of view, Firefish’s Recommended timeline is super cool, and is similar to Akkoma’s ‘bubble’ feature. It lets you specify a list of other federated servers to display posts from, creating a kind of “super-local” timeline. It’s the kind of thing I’d love to see in Lemmy and kbin.

Firefish is definitely a bit of an unfortunate rebranding. Though ‘Calckey’ wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire, as a name, either. But at the end of the day, we really need to learn to recontextualize fediverse plataforms as software that runs a service, not the service itself. They’re website engines that power social websites, not a social brand in and of themselves, kind of like how WordPress is a quasi-static website suite that is used for a huge number of blogs and quais-static websites.

No one shares something from, say, the TechCrunch website, or Time website, and goes “Hey, Iook what I found on WordPress!”

Can confirm. I find Firefish (formerly Calckey) a much nicer, much more refined, and much more expressive piece of kit.

I’ve liked Akkoma, too. And there’s something really comforting about Friendica, with its “Facebook as it should have been” interface.

I need more info! Was it a scoop slam? A power slam? A press slam? A sidewalk slam? A spinebuster slam? HOW DID THEY SLAM IT, GOD DAMMIT?!?

I thought her fans were mostly young girls

Uhh, that was 15 years ago. The core of her fan base is, like, in their 20s and 30s now.

Or just be less paranoid. You have to register to vote in Canada, but you can do it automatically when filing your taxes, or at the polls with your government ID, OR at the polls with a piece of mail and an already registered voter to vouch for you. They just write your name and address down to forward to the federal or provincial elections agency, nave your voucher sign a form, and then give you a ballot.

They’re referring to “Let me stop talking about the topic of this video to tell you about Shadow Shark, thr VPN Game” type sponsorships. Is YouTube planning on disabling the scrub bar now or what?

I wonder how much Putin paid for Elon. I can’t help but imagine it was as little as a scratch behind the ear and telling him that “he’s a good boy, yes he is! Yes he is!”
