Could someone please help me get a safe home?🏳️⚧️🤞🏼
Please friends, I need everyone's help to be able to get a new safe home. I have been outside for many days, I am in danger of being beaten again and I have not been able to eat well for days. The little I have received is to be able to sleep in a hotel. Please, if you have something extra don't hesitate to donate🙏🏼💔 #MutualAid#TransCrowdfund#trans@mutualaid

Random talkback on Israeli news sites in response to current events.
This one in response to Foreign Minister Eli Cohen attack in UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after his remark, in a speech to the UN Security Council, saying Hamas' attack did not happen in a vacuum.
“If our public face, advocacy and status rests on one sentence replete with historical truths and one sentence said by a redeemed female captive whose unhealthy husband and hundreds more are still held in Gaza - then we are the opposite of a wonderful nation. This is a weak, miserable, pathetic nation, managed by a gang of fascist garbage, that is more excited about volunteers feeding soldiers hamburgers than about human blood flowing like water with no hope.”
Israelis respond to Gilad Erdan's ( Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations) shamless, tone-deaf display of self-pity at the UN, while #Israel is standing accused of killing more than 8000 civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Listen carefully, you "cutting board" who mistakenly advanced to become Israel's ambassador to the UN: we are not in the #Holocaust. You are an ambassador of the sovereign state of #Israel, a country that according to foreign publications can wipe out the entire Middle East with the push of a button on the nuclear weapon. We have our own army and our own air force and nuclear submarines. Remember that for next time https://nitter.net/MatanAlcalay/status/1719225102875738192
No one does more to trivialize the holocaust than the governments of Israel for generations. And even in Erdan's tiny brain, the thought can be inserted: if so many things are "like the Holocaust", maybe the Holocaust is not so terrible. https://nitter.net/idanlandau/status/1719227634486256071#m
Zertal, Idith. "Israel's Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood" (2005)
A book talk with the author in which she reflects on some of the issues around the use of the #Holocaust in political discourse in Israel, and the insistence of some on seeing the victimizers as victims.
Added userContent.css (fenix) to fix Firefox about pages to be better fit for Librem 5 as well as a color theme to match Firefox for Android, code-named Fenix.
Added fenix_colors.css for a color theme to match Firefox for Android, (Fenix). If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file.
Added fenix.css as an alternative to true_mobile_mode.css that more closely resembles Firefox for Android (Fenix).
Added extensions_menu.css to fix the Unified Extensions Menu.
Added dynamic_popups.css and several variations so that extensions expand into a big enough popup which also supports horizontal scrolling. Works best with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css.
Added alt-browser-alt.css to be used with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css instead of browser.css. It can also be used with other styles like alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen and the Nav Bar at the bottom.
Added single_tab_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, and fenix-alt.css, to be used without alt-browser-alt.css or browser.css in order to have the Nav Bar at the top of the screen.
Added true_mobile_landscape.css and true_mobile_landscape-alt.css to have a nice landscape mode that maximizes usable space and fixes flickering popups.
Added fenix_fox.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code except fenix_colors.css. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_fox-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added fenix_one.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code, including fenix_colors.css. If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_one-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added variables into many files so that they work in “Normal” and “Touch” density modes.
If you prefer having a single userChrome file, you can simply rename fenix_fox.css or fenix_one.css to userChrome.css. You can also copy and paste the contents of one of the dynamic_popups files to the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Whichever userChrome file or files you decide to use, you will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons I read your text snippet as "Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten und wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres noch große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald genug eingedämmt ist, wird auch für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen", even if the first sentence seems grammatically iffy (the word order is a bit uncommon, as if the writer perhaps rephrased the sentence during writing).
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons Mastodon's preferred translation service mistook the source language for Nederlands. Here is the German translation of the antisemitism, courtesy of DuckDuckGo:
"I am pleased that you have been able to achieve such great success to date. So I wish you great further success in the future. Now that Jewish music will soon be completely contained, a better time will come for our German artists."
My friend is joining mastodon and needs some accounts to follow. Need some suggestions for accounts that focus on #activism#lgbtq#books#education and just accounts y'all really like!
Friends please I need your help, I have been fighting for months to be able to get a new home and move out of this terrible city since the only thing I have received is mistreatment and beatings I need you to help me get out of here I am in great danger of being attacked again I only have funds left to be able to spend the night safely, please try to help my life is in danger this is urgent🏳️⚧️🤞🏼 #MutualAid#trans@mutualaid
Testing HTTP based adaptive bitrate systems such as MPEG DASH and HLS needs test content.
We offer a set of streams for this - and we've just updated them to include live, low latency, audio description and alternative language and webcast versions:
@BBCRD
None of my AVRs can handle these streams so I can't listen to BBC radio on my systems anymore.
I've tried contacting the manufacturer and they don't seem interested. Do you have a list of compatible devices?
@BBCRD I was trying to work out where I'd seen that image before, then remembered; I made this in 2014 from shots taken inside the Berliner Philharmonie! 👻 😱
The story is presented as a found footage montage 👍
This has been on my watchlist for years and I'm glad we finally watched it! One of the most genuinely freaky movies I've watched this year. If you're looking for interesting characters, tasteful jump scares, and lingering psychic damage, this is a must watch!
I finished my last novel for this spooky season this morning. Fittingly, it was "I'm Thinking of Ending Things":
No monsters to be found in this one 😐
The story kept me guessing for a long time 👍👍
The only reason this doesn't immediately beat "Red X" and "The Between" for the best novel this season is because I guessed the ending a little early. Still, a thrilling and interesting read!

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
I’m not the smartest bowl in the… bowl drawer, but wouldn’t removing port forwarding just affect speed? Or would it stop torentting with Mullvad entirely? I just topped my account off lol
The 3 VPNs I’d recommend for privacy are Proton, AirVPN, and Mullvad.
When it comes to torrenting, AirVPN is probably the best. It has port forwarding, a no logging policy, and general trust in the community. Proton is similar, but it’s port forwarding is not as good as AirVPN’s version.
When it comes to privacy, Mullvad is the best imo. You can pay in cash. They removed port forwarding recently, but they’re in a privacy oriented country, and when authorities raided them, they had none of the users’ data (the raid being the reason for port forwarding to disappear).
You don’t need port forwarding to torrent, but without it, you may have slower speeds and trouble downloading older/rarer torrents (it effects the number of seeders/peers you can connect to). I’ve been torrenting without port forwarding and have yet to run into a torrent I can’t download in a reasonable time. Highly overrated imo, but incredibly important if you want to seed (I’ve still had no problems, there might be a couple leeches, but the vast majority can be seeded to). Considering you have Comcast, however, I’m guessing you have a data cap, and with that seeding becomes rather difficult. If you really want to pass it on with the data cap, than a seedbox would be the easiest way. Without port forwarding or a seedbox, and especially with a datacap without either of those, you won’t be able to use private trackers (personally I don’t recommend them unless you can’t find content anywhere else, my advice running counter to many in the piracy community).
You’re not going wrong with any of those 3 VPNs. Mullvad for privacy (torrents work just fine, don’t believe the people convincing you otherwise, and if you’re concerned with seeding, then a seedbox will take care of uploading for you). AirVPN if you want a good privacy reputation and port forwarding, or Proton if you prefer them (their privacy is fine, their port forwarding is inferior).
I’ll also mention Windscribe, which is not as good as the above three, and I don’t know as much about. But it’s the only other one I can think of that might be worth it, though I strongly recommend one of the above 3 first.
Stay away from (most VPNS pay for advertising or astroturf, so always be careful when selecting):
PIA (yes, they were proven not to log… And then bought out by Kape (former name Crossrider), a spyware company. The parent company is not privacy oriented, no matter how much PIA simps want you to believe otherwise. Look into it yourself. I loved PIA before they were bought out!)
NordVPN (lol, just stay away, trust me. You can always search for previous NordVPN incidents.).
@BBCRD So awesome! Would be excellent to see (some time in the future) any public over-time stats of the #fediverse from your perspective, ie fediverse growth, countries, platforms, some sort of clusters by "topic" of other servers directly connected to yours, etc! #MakeInternetDistributedAgain : P
