@pbloem@sigmoid.socialThere is a pernicious trend in leftwing discourse where a person correctly notes that somebody is being given privileged treatment, but then immediately implies that the right course of action is to take that privilege away.
More often, the right thing to do would be to afford everybody the privilege and encode it as a right.
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaDST this, DST that, pff. That whole discourse is washed, chopped, and unc. What we REALLY need to be doing is slowing the planet's rotation!
@adulau@infosec.exchangeGCVE will be at hackathon.lu - April 14th and 15th, 2026

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgBeen re-reading Langdon Winner's "The Whale and the Reactor".
Winner published this in 1988 and it still 100% applies. His criticism of "values" discourse, of certain strategies of trying to defend important structures by adopting the language and thinking of the opponent. The focus on numbers while devaluing experience. The hollowness of the decentralization discourse.
Damn.
@jrm4@mastodon.socialPresent thought
Mastodon's the right model. But to be truly *useful* politcally - the Bluesky/Mastodonian idea of "we will make our safe space over here" might be pleasant for many and that's fine
But they're not healthy for useful political discourse, which is often ugly, but generates the necessary talk.
The discussions I'm seeing on Twitter/threads e.g. left v. liberal are finally getting "good." (among others)

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialRe: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.

@cdarwin@c.imRumors flew in the hours after a shooting at Brown University killed two students on Dec. 13.

Another was that it had been a terrorist attack, a claim that made the rounds when a Palestinian student was identified as a possible suspect two days later and hounded on the internet.

@gwire@mastodon.socialThe UK National Risk Register (last published Jan 2025) is the "external" (public) version of the National Security Risk Assessment.
You suspect that there are risks listed in the internal document that would seem undiplomatic, perhaps impolitic, to admit to considering.
I think, in 2026, we should have a risk register that's updated to address actual public discourse.
