Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.

Not sure if it counts as technology but it was a Ford Focus.

I think it is generally a bad idea to support sites that promote hatred and fascist ideas by providing them traffic and content.

I'd love to but would need a lot more training to do so. Which I fear I won't get due to time and financial constraints - you know, being the bread winner of the family, full time job, a child... But on the other hand, I do love my current job and it earns me the money to buy all the expensive text books, so I won't complain. :D

Was into mini painting for a while when my partner and his friends still used to play BattleTech. I did play a bit myself but painting was much more exciting. :D I'd love to get back to it - always looking enviously at the Warhammer displays in our games store.

My weird hobby is reading textbooks on forensic medicine and other forensic sciences. Like how to perform an autopsy, how to identify the cause of death, how to take and interpret fingerprints from different surfaces and such. I am a trained toxicologist but unfortunately only had basic training in forensic toxicology as part of my curriculum (and not working in that field now). 🙂

I am here, too. Unfortunately I still have problems w/ Voyager app (can't upvote, don't get notifications and such) - my favourite way to use Lemmy... But I love it here anyway. :)

Hey... I've updated Voyager to the newest version (1.18.0 on android) but now I have masses of posts in my Home tab from communities I don't subscribe to. How is that even possible? Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

EDIT: Okay, thx everyone! Then this might again be a problem with discuss.online.

I have the same issue with Voyager on Android. Starts normally, briefly shows the UI but then everything disappears and I am left with a white screen.

Also already re-installed. Doesn't change anything.

"Mindestens 5.000 Content Moderatoren in Deutschland säubern derzeit für kaum mehr als den Mindestlohn die Sozialen Medien von brutalen Bildern und Videos [CW!], damit wir diese Bilder nicht zu sehen bekommen und uns sicher durchs Netz bewegen können. [...] Seit November 2018 arbeitet [Cengiz Haksöz] in Essen für Telus International, ebenfalls ein Subunternehmen von Meta und neben Majorel einer der größten Arbeitgeber in der Branche hierzulande. Bis heute seien sein "Kopf, Körper und Herz" 4.000 Stunden Material, das Gewalt zeige, ausgesetzt gewesen. "Das schrecklichste, gewalttätigste Material, das Sie sich vorstellen können", sagt Cengiz. [...] [Z]usammen mit 300 weiteren Content Moderatoren in Deutschland [habe er entschieden], sich von Facebook nicht mehr einschüchtern zu lassen. Das Klima der Angst, geschaffen durch stark einschränkende Geheimhaltungsvereinbarungen und prekäre Verträge, wollen sie nicht länger hinnehmen. Sie haben ein Manifest verfasst, in dem sie sicherere Arbeit fordern, unter anderem psychologische Betreuung."

Hätte wirklich gedacht, daß das in Deutschland in der Form nicht erlaubt ist.

"According to an August 29 news release by Human Rights Watch, a civil rights non-governmental organization based in New York City, 54-year-old retired Saudi teacher Muhammad al-Ghamdi was sentenced to death this year by a Saudi court on a series of charges related to his online political activism. [...] Al-Ghamdi's trial judgment claims he used his accounts on the Musk-owned platform X, formerly Twitter, as well as the Google-owned YouTube to commit his alleged crimes. [...] Musk's silence is particularly jarring given his self-professed commitment to free speech, which he often expresses in critiques of the U.S. government and institutions as complicit in an Orwellian plot to restrict free speech. [...] Some online have alleged his reluctance to wade into al-Ghamdi's case could stem from his close and long-standing financial connections to the Saudi royal family."

Taylor Lorenz hat ein Buch geschrieben (www.extremelyonlinebook.com)

Taylor Lorenz, die schon oft im Haken dran Podcast erwähnt wurde, Kolumnistin bei der WaPo (und nicht nur) hat "Extremely Online" geschrieben - ein Buch über das Internet und soziale Medien. Wie ein Blurb sagt: "An expansive look at how social platforms have radically altered literally every aspect of our lives."

Das klingt doch sehr spannend.

It is also extra ironic, because one of the arguments for not giving artifacts back to their home countries is "They can't handle and store them properly."

Bissl unangenehm, daß das überhaupt eine Nachricht wert ist, aber naja. Er hat sein erkennungsdienstliches Foto (so heißt das wohl auf Deutsch, fast so griffig wie mugshot) gepostet. Das war es auch schon. Das ist die Nachricht. Guten Tag!

Der Pixelfed-Entwickler @dansup@mastodon.social baut gerade an einer Fediverse-messaging App, die dann auch Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung können soll. Man darf ganz gespannt sein.

Why is the BBC still using this disgusting photo for thumbnails? Could've just used a photo of Rubiales alone.

It is mostly complaining about the hardships of life as a creature without any responsibilities whatsoever.
