Aral Balkan (@aral@mastodon.ar.al) Are there any admins on social.tchncs.de.? Is anonymously spreading lies about over 30 families in Gaza allowed on this instance? This anonymous coward has been chased off of every server he’s been on and yet he’s still here, still attacking people suffering from genocide and famine. (And yes, some folks copy posts from others. We’ve asked them not to. But they’re trying to survive genocide, not win social media awards.) Also (see his second post) we’re not attempting to raise anything (another lie). We raised and distributed $40K to 16 families several weeks ago. “Linux is Best” – what an absolute dreg of humanity you are, whoever you are. #fediblock CC @staff@mastodon.social https://social.tchncs.de/@Linux/115385420063078893

Got to pet a lovely soft black greyhound called Lance whilst walking to work this morning.

He deserves all the snoot booping.

What’s the hell is wrong with British conservatives? Were they made to give up the thinking part of their brain or something.

The Conversation U.S. (@TheConversationUS@newsie.social) The U.S. Chemical Safety Board — the agency that investigates refinery fires and chemical explosions to prevent future disasters the way the better-known NTSB investigates plane crashes — is shut down and may soon be eliminated entirely. Scientists who study chemical disasters say this dangerous move will save the federal government a mere $14 million. https://theconversation.com/refinery-fires-other-chemical-disasters-may-no-longer-get-safety-investigations-265546

Nooooo…. Don’t take away my CSB videos.

I genuinely enjoy learning from their post-accident videos about process engineering failures and human stupidity.

Really wish there was a polite way to tell the person standing above you on a train that their breath should be considered a banned weapon under the Geneva Convention.

Sequence of images from The Simpsons, "Simpson Tide" Season 9 / Episode 1; where Bart enters the Springfield Mall on the way to get his ear pierced, where every second store is a Starbucks, and one in between them is being turned into a Starbucks.

It’s that joke from The Simpsons in real life…

It can be. Mercifully, rclone is making it reasonably painless to get stuff uploaded.

The challenge will be the time spent housekeeping, deleting, etc once uploaded.

A US fascism expert’s warning to Australia: ‘You guys are probably next’ The US’s slide towards authoritarianism is part of a global trend, says professor and fascism expert Jason Stanley. And distant Australia, far from being immune, is uniquely vulnerable

Thanks to the repellent Dutton, we dodged the bullet last election, but Newscorp, Daily Mail and 3AW working overtime to correct that next go round. Sky broadcasting a Thomas Sewell speech uncensored makes their intention plain. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

New DB boss and transport minister announce plan to improve punctuality German Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder has announced Deutsche Bahn’s new boss and the government’s plan to improve punctuality across the rail network.

Ok, good to see both the German Govt. and DB want to fix the punctuality problems plaguing the counties’ passenger rail - but will it achieve the desired outcome?
