I understand that newspapers need support through subscriptions, but I often worry about about how this makes reliable information a luxury for those with the means to afford it.

Meanwhile misinformation & disinformation are widely accessible & free. #news #journalism

As the knives sharpen around the #Luna25 crash I am reminded of the time #NASA crashed into Mars because the #metric system was too much for American subcontractors to deal with.

I've said it countless times before, if you're working on an #activityPub project and would like more visibility, DM me!

I know how lucky I was, and how hard it is to get noticed now, we all started from nothing and I get that

People over profits is what makes the #fediverse so special ❤️

Physicist Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry without her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://whyy.org/articles/lise-meitner-the-forgotten-woman-of-nuclear-physics-who-deserved-a-nobel-prize/ #science #history

During my one year activity on the #Fediverse I've now seen at least four instance admins quitting from being an admin or shutting down their server. Half of these cases were admins being dickheads and the rest of them were mostly about users being dickheads leading admin getting burned out.

Both outcomes are unfortunate, but the latter makes me sad. Why do we have to harass and doxx an admin here for such pseudetical reasons like extensive open text search feature? I don't get humans sometimes.

I repeat: We are not free from toxicity on the Fediverse. Be kind. Make a chance.

"[UK] Government ‘cooking the books’ to cut asylum backlog as thousands of claims removed from system - Number of applications ‘withdrawn’ by Home Office quadruples after Rishi Sunak’s pledge, with 6,000 removed from list in three months"

So Sunak has turned out to be a dishonest and duplicitous as Bozo. Who'd have thought it?
