Don't donate cash to anyone, simple as. Make deliberate choices about who you donate to, do research, budget it, keep receipts, regardless of which organisation shows up at your grocery store. You should always give money to beggars, just not to predatory charities.

Noooo this is possibly the worst case I've seen of why the fuck did you complicate things this much?? I blame Claude/Cursor mostly for this one, it seems they steered a lot of the design decisions. Seriously though, if you think you need a bare bones kubernetes setup on 3 small hetzner vpses, only two of which being worker nodes, with a grand total 16gb of RAM, to support fedi instances with around about a single user... Stop. Just stop it already. I obviously feel bad that everything crashed down on them, but if they had taken the time to actually talk to other small instance maintainers, they could've spent more time doing proper backup and recovery than messing around with, and I shit you not, I counted 11 unique tools. Nobody needs 11 monitoring, containerization, volume management, dns tools, fucking cloudflare?? To run a single user instance.

For anyone curious, Rosalind Franklin did get a mention... In the 17th and 18th paragraphs. Might as well be a footnote, just like the original paper. He was an awful, pitiful man, when you read the fine print.

Splitting a heavy U-235 atom, given perfect conversion to electricity, could power a 1 Watt nightlight for around 7.5x10^-13 seconds

That's such a psychopathic response. It is not acceptable behavior, and you won't win any arguments that way.

Oh no, the thing that is already happening could happen if we don't settle down.

Extremism for migration and race probably hinges on whether you believe in due process

I'm not upset about a work retreat held during a Senate recess that was likely scheduled at the beginning of the year. This trip has likely been planned long before the threat of a shutdown, and the focus on 'Tuscan vibes' or whatever and 'wine caves' strikes me as pure rage bait.

Republicans were like, do these crazy things or we'll cut your funding. Harvard said no. This comes after Columbia mostly acquiesced to similar demands.

A graphic illustration of a right hand gently grasping a large arrow pointed diagonally upward. The thumb is up pointing in the same direction as the arrow. A smaller arrow underneath the hand indicates the direction to wrap the fingers around the large arrow. The title of the image is File:Right hand rule simple.png

A look at a user profile using the various front ends for lemmy.blahaj.zone in each one, a majority of images are not rendered.

Where are all my transhet sisters?

I love the queer community and I feel like the more I work on myself, the less accepted I will be as a queer person.

For example, I joined a queer friend-finding app recently which didn't have an option to label myself heterosexual. At first I went stealth and didn't list my sexuality, and I got lesbians calling me a tease. I made a public post about being transhet and I mostly got messages from weird cis men.

I'm going to look for friends only under the trans umbrella for now, online and irl.

To that end: I like pop music, knitting, and politics. Please tell me your favorite online communities and people to follow!
