@elonjet Berlin & Brandenburg are mutually exclusive, so "Berlin, Brandenburg, DE" doesn't exist. "Berlin Brandenburg" is the name of the airport, located in the state of Brandenburg, just outside of Berlin.
This Sunday, remember, remember...

I usually have one writing book in my reading rotation. They vary based on what I need & the state of my writing. My reaction to Pressfield's The War of Art is always the most telling.
As a freelance writer pre-grad school, it resonated deeply. I needed that "get over yourself & get to work" message.
But during other periods, I'm really turned off by it. That usually means I need to slow down, think through tough ideas, and/or seek out guidance.
Currently I'm re-reading Howard Becker's Writing for Social Scientists.
The "Terrorized by the Literature" chapter is a little too spot on. And the Risk chapter (Pamela Richards) hits a lot harder than it did my first year of grad school.
"Arab 48" (عرب48) is an Arabic-language news site, considered a platform for national Palestinian intellectuals in #Israel -- often those identified with the "Balad" political party, which supports a two-state solution and advocates a more Democratic and inclusive Israel and equal rights for its Palestinian citizens.
Dr. Hassan Jabareen, General Director of #Adalah, an independent human rights organization and legal center.
Our dialogue with Dr. Jabareen uncovers the unsettling realities faced by these citizens, highlighting the institutionalized persecution intensifying amidst the war. We explore the stark consequences of expressing solidarity with the besieged civilians in #Gaza, revealing how such simple acts of empathy are met with drastic retaliations. From legal actions and academic exclusions to job terminations, the repercussions are tangible and terrifying, as hundreds face arrests and countless others suffer for their benign acts of compassion.
I am a PhD candidate in Tartu, searching for the imprints of dynamical friction in different environments, and how through this there might be a possibility to constrain the properties of dark matter and other dynamics in galaxies. Supervised by Rain Kipper.
I am very interested in galactic dynamics, computational astronomy and lately I am exploring superbubbles in NGC628 as seen by JWST-MIRI.
@lwuy9v5 Yes it is KCD. I'm doing a hardcore, all negative percs, no kill run, so i basically have to use ways to kill without it adding to the kills stat.
At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.
It’s not that an Amazon instance can be a docker container. It was more that the behavior you are describing is extremely odd for a full Linux environment but normal for a docker container.
If you created the instance, it isn’t likely a container. But it also sounds like the base image might be poorly set up
You’ll thank yourself for it later. Things like this take a little longer up front but putting them off has a way of making you have to work around it again and again until, when you get around to correcting it, it takes far more time to undo the workarounds than it would’ve taken to correct it the first time.
@neilhimself I didn't think they would tell their major content creators... even you.
It feels like a kind of unfair jab at both writers and actors, which Amazon will likely blame, in part, on the strike.
It certainly makes me want to cancel my subscription with them, and just watch their content in a different way, when I want to watch it at all... which presumably hurts anything negotiated, such as residuals.
I am thinking about autism this morning. Every self-assessment I’ve taken since I was a teenager scores ‘yep, that’s you’. (I have taken a LOT of self-assessments. Every few years I’ll go through a whole bunch, just to confirm.) But I don’t have a formal diagnosis. And even though I would never require a formal diagnosis from anyone else, I have still, for decades, struggled to know whether I’m ‘allowed’ to understand myself in this way or speak about myself as #autistic.
"The more I seek validation, the worse my life becomes, and the more I allow myself to be myself, the better I feel." I could say the same thing, honestly, about my own journey in life.
@cynaq@actuallyautistic Yes! This perspective is so helpful and relatable. This morning I went back and re-took the RAADS-R and the CAT-Q and the results are the same as they have always been - high. And there is my own knowing of myself that has also been the same since I was a teenager! So maybe it is time to claim/name this more openly, despite not having (or seeking) a formal diagnosis. <3
Does anyone need a #Bluesky code? I have a few & would love to give them to critical academics or #vegan, #environmentalist, pro-#Palestine comrades… maybe you know people who fit that bill and are still stuck on Xitter?
(I love Mastodon but I think BSky is attracting more former chronic #Xitter users to switch over, and really, whatever works at this point)
