#Poznań #aborcja #protest #wyrok

W Poznaniu, 30 czerwca o godzinie 14, w sali 100 Sądu Rejonowego Poznań – Nowe Miasto i Wilda w Poznaniu, Al. Marcinkowskiego 32 będzie (wreszcie) ogłoszony wyrok w sprawie protestu w katedrze (październik 2020).

Kto może i chce, jest zaproszony jako publiczność i wsparcie moralne dla oskarżonych, którzy będą na miejscu (ja nie będę).

Proszę też, żeby rozpuścić wici waszymi kanałami. Im będzie więcej osób, tym lepiej.
Można też pikietę solidarnościową zrobić.

Kontekst: portalsamorzadowy.pl/polityka-…

Wnętrze katedry R-K w Poznaniu, grupa osób w maskach z transparentami potępiającymi zaostrzenie zakazu aborcji. Na podłodze rozrzucone kilkanaście ulotek.

Israel - The Nadir of Humanity

Hello @Farid@freefree.ps

Sorry, I don't follow your statement:

“In the shadowed annals of human history, no nation has plummeted to such depths of cruelty as Israel, a state that embodies the nadir of humanity”.

The country I live in unleashed a unique barbarism with fascism from 1933 to 1945, killing 52 million people in every inhumane way imaginable. Among them were 6 million Jews. For me, it is all the more bitter that the survivors and their descendants have not drawn any “humane” conclusions (which is a very vague term) from this with the State of Israel and its history, but on the contrary, today it has a more or less openly fascist government at the helm, with a mass of the population that obviously can live with this and does so, which shocks me anew every day.
I believe that Israel has lost its innocence since the Nakba and has joined the long line of countries that pursue racist, reactionary, an

I understand your point, but my essay isn’t about the number of deaths, it’s about the depth of suffering inflicted. Israel has destroyed Palestinian homes and livelihoods, forcing families into makeshift tents to face winter’s cold. A total siege blocks medical supplies, leaving children injured by Israeli bombs to endure amputations without anesthesia or painkillers. Incendiary bombs and white phosphorus burn people alive.

Most recently, starving Palestinians have been lured with promises of aid, only to be shot. This calculated cruelty, not just the body count, is what marks Israel’s actions as a moral nadir.

Israelis had the experience of Holocaust AND the knowledge of its methods, with the whole moral and scientific understanding.

And still, on their own, they chose to follow the same path. This is much worse than the original Nazi history, or even Stalinist remake.

ETA: GOOD NEWS!

mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1147…

In reading an important discussion of the IP assignment in the new Mastodon.social ToS:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

I was GOBSMACKED to discover the new ToS has a "binding arbitration waiver," which takes away your right to sue, no matter how badly the service abuses you.

These are profoundly unethical, terrible clauses. They should never, ever appear in "adhesion contracts" (that is, contracts that you merely click through, rather than negotiating.)

New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content · Issue #35086 · mastodon/mastodon

Summary Since it first opened, mastodon.social has operated without any sort of explicit IP grant from the users to the service, which is unusual for a social networking service. Today Mastodon ann...

We've heard your feedback on the Terms of Service updates for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and we're pausing the implementation date (previously announced to users via email as 1st July 2025) so we can take further advice and make improvements.
It may take us a moment to consult with the right people, so please bear with us while we do so. As always, we appreciate your patience and support.

No one, and I do mean NO ONE, should ever, ever, EVER agree to a binding arbitration waiver.

These are the most grotesquely unfair contractual terms in routine use today. The potential for abuse is literally unlimited.

Remember when a Disney World visitor died of an allergic reaction after being assured that her food order was allergen-free? Disney argued that her family couldn't sue because her husband had clicked through an arbitration waiver when signing up for a free trial of Disney Plus.

I am very shocked to see this in the ToS for the flagship Mastodon instance, promulgated by the Mastodon nonprofit.

To be clear, I think this is *much* worse than, say, requiring users of mastodon.social to agree to have their posts used to train LLMs. The harms of having your work fed to an AI are mostly hypothetical and relate to moral qualms.

By contrast, a binding arbitration waiver would literally allow the management of mastodon.social to cause your DEATH and face no consequences.

Cory Doctorow 2 tygodnie temu • mastodon

I am trying not to be dramatic here, but this is a deal-breaker for me - literally. I changed dentists because I wouldn't sign binding arbitration. I changed solar installers because I wouldn't sign binding arbitration.

I could never, in good conscience, recommend that someone use a service that required binding arbitration as a condition of use - which means that as of July 1, I would no longer be able to recommend that people get an account on mastodon.social.

And since mastodon.social is the flagship instance, which sets the moral example - and the workaday template - for most instances in the Fediverse, this catastrophically bad clause is likely to proliferate far and wide throughout the Fediverse, rendering most of this new, better internet unfit for use.

Please, @Gargron, reconsider this. It is a very bad look - and worse still, it's a very, very bad example.

For years it has been clear that Rochko was building its own empire.
When you see a monopoly brewing, kill it as soon as you can. Now it is late, but not too late. There are measures still possible to be taken.

LLM scraper protection github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

Why am I seeing this?

You are seeing this because the administrator of
this website has set up Anubis to protect the
server against the scourge of AI companies
aggressively scraping websites. This can and
does cause downtime for the websites, which
makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.

Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-
Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a
proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing
email spam. The idea is that at individual scales
the additional load is ignorable, but at mass
scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping
much more expensive.

Ultimately, this is a hack whose real purpose is to
give a "good enough" placeholder solution so that
more time can be spent on fingerprinting and
identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they
do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of
work page doesn't need to be presented to users
that are much more likely to be legitimate.

Please note that Anubis requires the use of
modern JavaScript features that plugins like
JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or
other such plugins for this domain.

Probably not worth it if we don’t currently have resource trouble. We should probably get a bit better monitoring though. <_<”

Oh and fyi this is likely not a long-term solution, if it gets too widespread then working around this specific countermeasure shouldn’t take more than a couple of days for a single dev.

It's a bot mitigation tool called Anubis. Something like cloudflare without the MITM part. If I don't have this I end up serving 50 queries/sec to scrapers.
