I think you are hand-picking numbers here. The most current CDC Report on Intimate Partner Violence does not support your claims. https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/NISVSReportonIPV_2022.pdf

I can recommend the movie “the man from earth” on the topic. I think he switches identities every 20 years or so…

Fun fact: in Germany, anything “unexpected” they write in TOS is not legally binding, because everyone knows noone reads it.

While i do get this vibe from the headline, the article actually closes with a call to be mindful of the shortcomings of generative AI (while using it)

In the article it does not seem like automated messages. Rather guess that their fake news detection triggered, because links to these government sites spiked even though the sites were seldom mentioned before.

Well if it naturally gravitates to inequality, l would call it an inherent property.

I actually see street cleaning teams here in Germany regularly where one person blows the dirt out from bike racks and from under parked cars and the other person sits in the big street sweeper to pick up the dirt. I think this is a very valid use for blowers. The blowers are electric, but I sure would.not mind them a bit more quiet.

The gallery is here: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/

why do you dislike the name? I like it actually!

I don’t think the new owners can just pull it from F-Droid, I hope the F-Droid team has a code backup. I think they will migrate everything to fossify. With the gallery this already happened, the SMT Gallery vanished from my phone and the fossify gallery appeared. I guess that’s a good way to go, since for now fossify is just the same thing with a different name.

Thats why we call these things “crown corks” in German…

In that case: excellent suggestion. :)

I mostly agree with your rules, they seem well thought out. I have two objections: Firstly altered versions of AP seems hard to enforce. I think if the versions of AP are compatible enough for federation to work, we should let it run.

Secondly, and more importantly, the part were you want to defederate with servers that do not follow these rules is a really bad idea. If some small instance wants to consume the content from threads, their users may still add content to the fediverse. I think these rules would be a good recommendation for any new server admins and committing to these rules would be a good reason to join a server. But I don’t see any reason to turn this into a “you’re either with us or against us”-type conflict.

It’s not new actually. Maybe revived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

The interesting thing here is: this missleading headline comes from the official state news outlet of Germany…

That is actually a great idea for a fake sign to put up… 🥸
