@TheBreadmonkey nvm I found it, it's by the same account that did the closest result that actually appeared in search results

So why does all this end up being the case? I think firstly it derives from wanting to flatten history into something that's just too simplified. Categories like civilisations and empires and realms often do a lot of historiographical work, and visualisations like this present them as consistently *the same type* of entity, even if some are city-state collections and not unified polities at all. There is no one model of what a "civilisation" is and political power overlaps a lot in reality.
I wish there were better clips online of DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3 I could share with you, but this Criterion video about its director, Seijun Suzuki, will at least give you a taste of his unique and fascinating visual style.

But what if you were hacked?
Feels like I have been tbh
(Seriously though, DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3: GO TO HELL BASTARDS! is a super fun, super pulpy movie, definitely worth seeing if you have not)

"Displeased with his middling success in melodramas and 'blandly handsome features', Joe Shishido underwent cheek augmentation surgery in 1957. His altered look has been described both as 'ruggedly handsome', and as chipmunk-like."
No one is ever going to come up with a better title for a movie than this. My suggestion would be to stop trying. Just make your movie title a long string of random characters

Lewis Mumford, en rage contre la machine
Un peu perdues dans le dernier numéro de *Sciences humaines*, en compagnie de Bronner ou d'Hayek (mais que diable...), deux pages très intéressantes de @thibault_lh sur ce penseur méconnu du 20e siècle, pourfendeur avant l'heure du technofascisme qui vient.

I mean I live in a country whose political environment was irrevocably changed because of Cambridge Analytica. And facebook’s algorithm is partly being blamed for the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. It’s not really about you that I’m worried with, but for others in general.

What’s the worst that could happen?
Some data brokers looking through your preferences and building a profile out of you, I guess.

Sure, but what they’re gonna do with that is the question. Like even if there is a profile on my Lemmy account, which ads are they going to send me? How? Where is that data going to be worth anything?
@digitalalltag Germany or Czechia? I'd like to add to the country list
@jaz Germany. 53° 51′ 3″ N, 9° 20′ 41″ O.
@idlestate Oh, you actually looked at the molecules. 😅
Now that you mentioned it, I looked at them too, and that is indeed surprising. These are all so very different in both composition and structure, and yet we perceive the end result as simillar.
Yeah, I am trying to get over a sort of overwhelm at the riotous variety of biologically relevant molecules.
No Secret Majority Leader Vote!
One thing to about all these article that report that Schumer has enough Democratic Senator votes to be elected Majority Leader is that none of them actually mention which Senators actually are supporting him.
On the other hand there are many articles about who is not supporting Schumer that list those who are publicly rejecting his leadership.
Where is all this support? Let's name names. This can not happen in the dark. Senators now need to go on the record.
If you're wondering who the hell sits down to watch every single Jurassic Park film when ITV reruns them on Sundays, it's my mum. I'm sorry.
@fesshole but the endless adverts....

Votes are not private and never will be.
There have been some discussions about whether Threadiverse software should only federate out the number of votes and perhaps some anonymised voter IDs, rather than information that identifies individual users. This would prevent vote snooping via sites like Lemvotes. However, even if something like that were implemented, instance admins would still be able to snoop on their own users if they so wished. So imo, it’s better to just accept that votes are public information.
Personally I don’t see the issue with it. My principle when it comes to voting is upvoting stuff I want others to see and only downvote things I don’t think anyone would want to see (like spam). So if for some odd reason someone is interested enough to check my voting history, I don’t care. What’s the worst that could happen? Someone on the internet disagrees with my votes? Oh no! How will I ever survive?!
As a side note, Lemmy’s developers seem to have a strong opinion that voter information shouldn’t be displayed publicly. For example, here’s an issue they opened in the Mbin repo. While I disagree with their stance on vote visibility, Nutomic has a valid point there: Lemmy doesn’t mark voting activity as public when federating it out, so there’s an argument to be made that other software should not display individual votes coming from Lemmy.
I follow the #Accessibility and #Disability hashtags and it disgusts me how much AI PR sludge and ableist framings get promoted to it by corporate/bot accounts that DGAF about disabled people.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
