How to recognise a high quality lecture 😁🖖🏻 #StarTrek #CyberSecurity

@ics@tau-ceti.space wow 😂🤯🥳

@cjust@infosec.exchange only a 3 coming from a very non tech family. I used a dial up, chatted on ICQ and actually still subscribing to RSS 🥹

@GrueneBundestag@gruene.social es ist kein Angriff auf das ganze Land. Es ist ein Angriff gegen eine vulnerable Minderheit, so sehr angefeuert durch die Politik und die Regierung, die gegen allen Fortschritt den wir die letzten Jahrzehnte gemacht haben vorgeht, vom Hissen der Regenbogenflaggen bis zu bereits verabschiedeten Gesetzen, an denen wieder gesägt wird, dass auch genug Deutsche den Angriff feiern. Die lachenden und Party-Emojis sind schwer zu ertragen. Die Tatsache, dass es ein Islamist sein soll, wird jetzt aber freudestrahlend genutzt werden, um noch härter gegen Flüchtlinge und Einwanderer vorzugehen, bis man sich wieder in Ruhe dem Angriff auf die LGBTQ+ Menschen wenden kann.

It's fucking August. What the fuck.

#Erfurt 💜🌈 #NoAfD #Fckafd

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org EVERYTHING IS FINE

@Bundesregierung@social.bund.de man wird euch nicht vergessen. Ihr glaubt in ein paar Jahren kann sich niemand mehr erinnern, was ihr uns damit angetan habt, aber die Geschichte wird sich an euch erinnern, mit jeder tödlichen Hitzewelle, mit jeder Ölkrise, mit jedem Krieg bei dem Öl und Gaspreise ins unermessliche steigen, werden wir die Namen Merz und Reiche verfluchen.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu the planting trees is awesome, but how do you force cities to plant those trees in their streets when all they do is build more parking space for bigger and bigger SUVs.

@FoxesInLove@social.neonpaws.digital oh how I love these giant purple blotches of shit on my balcony 🥹🥹

@karlsruhe@vhs.social das lieb ich 🤣🤩

@FoxesInLove@social.neonpaws.digital damn clouds always doing this xD

@Bundesregierung@social.bund.de Todesstoß für Deutschlands Klimapolitik. Ich hoffe Karlsruhe kassiert das sofort und watscht euch verbal so richtig eine ab. Reiche gehört aus dem Amt gejagt und wegen Korruption verklagt. Und der Rest der Regierung gleich mit. Widerlich. Sowas als Fortschritt zu bewerben ist unter aller Sau. Habeck hat euch so eine scheiß Angst gemacht, dass er Jahre nach seinem Abschied immer noch Feindbild Nummer 1 ist.

In two weeks around this time I'll enjoy pinxtos and txakoli with two of my best friends in #Bilbao 🥳

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I love FediMeteo! I follow my own town and usually check my vacation spots before my travel days 😁 @admin

@ewos1986@norden.social @bsi@social.bund.de ein Schelm wer Böses denkt. Die tolle Publicity ist komplett umsonst. So wie Mythos. Erst zu gefährlich und nachdem ordentlich gehypt wurde und es jeder haben wollte, war es ganz plötzlich doch verfügbar für die mit tiefem Portmonee 🤪🤪 und alle fallen drauf rein. Immer und immer wieder 💀🤡

Stepped out of the building and into a 38°C oven. Biking home gave at least enough hot air blowing into my face to keep me dry, but now I'm swimming in my own sweat 🥹

@douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org I think I read that we're lagging by around 30 years. We are currently experiencing the climate catastrophe caused by the carbon emissions of 30 years ago. Climate moves very slowly. Just like the current super el niño won't actually properly hit us till next year 😬💀☠️

@eickefrohwein@social.cologne oo as in school, here in Germany 🤓

@clever_reports@mastodon.art oh those colours 🤩🤩

@FoxesInLove@social.neonpaws.digital I wished I could do that so often 🥹

@Pezito@mamot.fr yepp, very very VERY likely 💀💀 @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org

Started the Colour by Numbers painting my colleagues gifted me and I hate to say it, but it's once again a cheap Chinese grift from Instagram adverts. My sister already fell for one she bought for me. It's utterly abysmal quality. Half the fields are without numbers or so faint that I can't see them. Then there are endless tightly knit tiny fields where I can't make out the number that's squeezed into them. And I can already say that the colours look wrong and not at all like the tiny print that's supposedly showing the final product. Big sigh.

@Freiheitsrechte@chaos.social Youtube ist genauso ein Faschisten Moloch wie X, Meta und LinkdIn. Da in solchen Kommentaren selten guter Diskurs möglich ist, würde ich wahrscheinlich empfehlen die Kommentarfunktion zu sperren mit einem Hinweis in der Video Beschreibung, dass die Kommentare von Faschisten gekapert wurden und keine zivilen Unterhaltungen möglich waren.

@codingWombat@social.tchncs.de @eickefrohwein@social.cologne 🤣🤓

@buersten@mastodon.social I sent a reply to that and I got another answer: "Hello, thank you for your elaborate answer explaining TGTG's stance. I can see how there are advantages for the company, but in my opinion it fails to take into account the overall cost of the entire AI industry. Yes, generating a few images might cost less water and energy now, but the tech giants are still destroying our planet for it. Data centers ruining whole regions, stealing water, prolonging the existence of gas and oil and even nuclear plants. It doesn't matter that for you it's just a few pictures. The overall result of it is the AI industry destroying our planet, our democracy and underminding human rights and you are part of it. Your AI creating these pictures was trained with cheap click workers in Africa, Asia and South America without rights, just like every other AI. Once again, thank you for your reply, but it has not changed my mind." The reply I got to that: "Thank you for your thoughtful follow-up. I completely respect your perspective on the broader impacts of the AI industry, and I’ve made sure your feedback is shared directly with our sustainability and leadership teams.   We truly appreciate you holding us accountable and being such a passionate advocate for the planet." 🤪🙈 @atarifrosch@fedifreu.de

@atarifrosch@fedifreu.de mich auch! Das nervt mich gigantisch. Ich hoffe, dass es an den einzelnen Kunden liegt, die ihre Produktinfos bei den Angeboten so an tgtg weitergeben und es nicht von tgtg selbst so eingestellt wird. Vielleicht muss man mal ne Beschwerde hinschicken. @buersten@mastodon.social

Former colleague called on short notice for an evening out in the local irish pub. He was with a group of friends and one of them was the worst, most disgusting mysogonistic asshole I've ever had the displeasure of listening to during his drunkenly slurred abusive language towards women. Voiced my displeasure a lot and after I returned home, I texted my friend that he doesn't need to bother inviting me if this particular asshole is present. Also told him that their group of friends has the responsibility to tell him to shut the fuck up. Side note: my colleague's girlfriend doesn't like the dude and called him "suspect". Women know these things.

@danielgibert@mastodon.online main landing site will be tiny Urkiola and walking up to Urkiolagirre. We're staying in Gasteiz during that time and the evening before we'll decide if maybe we'll be able to see it from our rooftop pool as well 🤣

@me@social.ho1ger.de yepp 🫠💦

@bbsmooth@pnw.zone I have one that looks almost the same! It's also a mini dahlia, so maybe it's the same kind 🤩

@chrisch@bildung.social da graust es mir so richtig. Als ich das gehört habe wurde mir echt kack schlecht. @GrueneBundestag@gruene.social

@Guillotine_Jones@beige.party my apologies, you're so right, of course. My bad 🥹🥹😂

@dlr_next@social.bund.de kanns kaum erwarten 🤩 werde im Baskenland sein, also direkt im Zentrum 🥳

@atarifrosch@fedifreu.de hab schon eine Antwort bekommen und naja.... 🥹 Hi James,   Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on this. We truly appreciate that our community holds us to the high standards of our B Corp certification—it’s exactly this kind of passion that helps us stay true to our mission.   Our design team mindfully explores AI image generation tools for certain assets. While these technologies do have an environmental footprint—primarily indirect through data center cooling and electricity—it is actually significantly lower than many traditional alternatives, such as physical photoshoots, printing, or material production. Transitioning to digital-first tools allows us to create impactful visuals while avoiding the heavy logistics of traditional media production.   Furthermore, AI efficiency is constantly improving as the technology evolves. For example, Google recently shared with us that Gemini is now 33 times more energy-efficient compared to its earliest versions.   We are constantly learning, adapting, and looking for the most sustainable ways to spread our message of a world where no good food goes to waste. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and your deep commitment to the planet!   Best regards @buersten@mastodon.social

@evansky_arts@mastodon.social its smile brightens my life and boring office times every work day!

@evansky_arts@mastodon.social oh my goodness this is so cute. Love what you made of it 😍😍

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social one of our old cats came to us as a stray. Mum worked in one of the only shops in our small town, so she heard a lot of chatter and she was able to track the stray's wandering from street to street and door to door. He was always fed but moved on. So when he finally turned up at our place she knew right away it's "the stray". Might have been the reason why he decided that our house was the one to stay forever. 🤣 He still kept wandering through our neighbourhood tho, and had at least three different names 😂😂

@drbillbongo@brettspiel.space 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@danielgibert@mastodon.online 🤣🤣

@danielgibert@mastodon.online but what are we hoping for? For the cold and rainy weather I seem to bring along a lot, or are we afraid I'll cause another heat wave? 🥹 @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @admin

@drbillbongo@brettspiel.space this was definitely a case of a group of men making many excuses for an asshole. "He's not like that when sober." "He's usually a nice guy." Ugh, yeah, but he isn't now and the garbage coming out of his mouth comes out of his head and wasn't forcefully ingested via alcohol 🙄

@drbillbongo@brettspiel.space I'm afraid it's too late for that. And I wouldn't have had the heart to tell my colleague she fell for trick ad 😅

@sebwilken@mastodon.social aber früher war doch auch schon Sommer!!!1!!

@danielgibert@mastodon.online I've used a similar site to find a good spot 😁

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm definitely becoming an offline person with all the surveillance that's being implemented by spyware companies, I mean governments.

Since my best friend has a girlfriend he's basically MIA. I'm happy for him, but slightly disappointed how little space I'm apparently now taking in in his thoughts. Things that were as natural as breathing are now simply forgotten or need a dozen reminders ☠️
