Good to know. Thanks. I'll wait on the next post when the fixed version has been uploaded.

That would be amazing.
- Comment on German public radio and television (SWR) just published a whitepaper about the fediverse: "Chancen des Fediverse für Journalismus" 1 day ago:
I don't read German, but I was curious and wanted to let an LLM translate it at least a little. They published a PDF which has full-page images in it. Why? It's utterly perplexing to publish something to the internet that way. It's like having the ability to share a stone tablet, but instead you take a picture of it and put that behind glass with a filter so that it can only be viewed form certain angles.
Sometimes, I don't understand Germans.
- Comment on Half of UK's grassroot music venues make no profit 2 days ago:
The problem with such venues is that they are also difficult to find. The major problem is that you need to know of them to even find out what's going on. They are on Instagram, facebook, and other social media, but if I go to a city and search for shows, the majority of venues won't be found. Sometimes it's a choice to stay cool, hip, underground, or whatever, but if so, they can't complain about falling revenue.
What I especially don't understand is why these venues aren't on opensource stuff:
- Mobilizon for organising events
- Mastodon in addition / instead of xittter
- Pixelfed in addition to / instead of insta
- FunkWhale for uploading audio recordings of live sets
- Peertube for video recordings of performances
- OpenStreetMaps to find the venue on the map
All of this would make it easier for them to be found, interact with them, and even support them.

Not "in a sense". It is prostitution.

Wait, I know this.... didn't he follow the USAians into war? Weapons of mass destruction or something? That dude? A man of "peace"?

Do it, dude. I'd join an instance where USAian talk isn't allowed. Fuck, I'm tired of their constant drama and exaggerations and everything. Orange man this, raspy-voiced poop-brain that, "we baaambed this" and "literally destroyed" that. And it's football FFS, not soccer.

- Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants 1 week ago:
Poland has PiS in the government for 8 years? 12? They don't want Ukrainian refugees either and have a strong connection to the US due to their Christianity and thus their "values". Tusk has had trouble getting laws through because the PiS president keeps vetoing them.
Poland hates Russia with a burning passion. If push comes to shove this year, the EU won't be able to defend them from Russia. The majority of the union didn't take The Pooteen threat seriously and hasn't scaled up to a pre-war economy. The US will always be ready. The decision, IMO, is quite clear. Poland wouldn't fight the US.
- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
That sounds better than Japan and South Korea, but 680€/month for daycare is nuts! Wtf? That's a very important thing to subsidise. The rest sounds very similar to Germany (again, friends there too), which doesn't have a high birth rate either, so IMO it's obviously not enough.
I'm not going to have children for, among others, monetary reasons as well. There's no way I would work 8 hours, travel 2 hours a day just to work and how much more for the child as it grows, also try to find time for my hobbies, and additionally worry about keeping my head above water in an apartment I don't own and right now 40-50% of my income goes to. If I had a partner, they'd have to get a job too to cover the bills.
We'd both just be surviving and the question is how would we even provide a good environment for the child to thrive if we're struggling.It wouldn't surprise me if more childless people had similar thoughts on the matter. The government would have to make the experience of having children much more carefree so that parents can spend time with their children without worrying about money.

- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
What is Denmark doing for people that want kids? Is it possible to raise a child on the income of a single person? Is child-care and education free? Is transport free for children until they leave school? Do families get a priority for social housing? Are there third places for children? Is it possible to have a career with a child (work from home, 4 day work week or reduced hours at equal pay, etc.)?
I know somebody in Copenhagen who just got a kid and haven't had the time to talk more in depth with them about this stuff, but they are having an incredibly tough time finding affordable housing with space for children anywhere close to where they work. Most houses on market are expensive for what they are and still need significant investment to get them in a state that doesn't mean paying heating bills out of your ass (their words). They have been looking for a few years now and got a kid first instead of waiting for a house but now things are getting more urgent.
- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
When they are hopeless and in wars, people still have kids, but that's if you're uneducated. Education has a huge impact on fertility and you can't provide nothing or little to an educated populace and expect them to have kids.

Destabilize a country, make a surprised pikachu face when they want to cross the border, deport them to random country. Problem solved.
The genius of the administration.
- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
Let me guess, the government doesn't make having kids worthwhile despite the wealth they have other there?
- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
More like people don't have time nor money for kids because their careers aren't rewarding, neither in the monetary nor other sense.

- Comment on UK government starting to think about leaving X 1 week ago:
Very nice that @Paulatics is pressing the issue. Twitter is basically pornhub with news. Would the government be willing to publish videos on pornhub to "reach a wider audience"? Referring this video). There are also significant audiences on PornHub.

- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
The true solution is to have a device you hook up to that extracts the pee and poop from your body, wipes you down, and sends you on your way. There will be no lid, no seat, just one hole in the wall you hook up to.

- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 3 weeks ago:
Neither and both. They both wanted their world view to dominate and did so by influencing a bunch of countries. The US fucked up all of South America during that time, Afghanistan, Iran, Vietnam, Korea, and probably a few countries in Africa. The Soviet Union wasn't innocent in all of this fighting their proxy wars against the US.
