The Swarm of Life by Shane Gross (New Zealand)

This winning image looks under the surface layer of lily pads as a mass of western toad tadpoles swim past. Western toad tadpoles swim up from the safer depths of the lake, dodging predators and trying to reach the shallows, where they can feed. The tadpoles start becoming toads between four and 12 weeks after hatching. An estimated 99% will not survive to adulthood

Remember. You are the one that gets to decide who joins you on this journey as you fly around the sun on a little rock a number of times before surrendering your atoms back into the eternal winds from where they came.

Choose wisely. Don't be bullied. Don't be coerced. Let shit that doesn't matter truly slide.

It was the episode where I stopped watching the NG, I simply could not stomach more nonsense. I never suspected people will take all that woke shit seriously!

Or was it the first episode of Voyager? A fucking gay lesbian commander sinking ships, it was Prophesied I see now.

The most exciting moment of Open Source Summit 2024 last month for me wasn't when I went on stage.

It was at the very first minutes of the conference, during the opening keynote,
when I saw my humble blog post "When Your Open Source Turns to the Dark Side" featured 🤩

It was surreal to see my personal blog quoted alongside The New York Times, WIRED and the European Commission's Joinup magazine 😍

Cryptic Mars, a land shaped by ice

Cryptic terrain in Australe Scopuli on Mars

ESA’s Mars Express has captured an astonishing array of landforms emerging from a thick winter blanket of frost as spring arrives in the south polar region of Mars. Some of these features are surprisingly dark compared with their icy surroundings, earning their nickname of ‘cryptic terrain’.

Really interesting article. Fingers crossed for Israel's domain name going the way of the dodo next.

There's also the case (like we've had here with ml), where a wild-west domain gets returned to a country, in our case mali.

Ideally though the internet should be able to function without dns at all, especially without a US-based company in California (ICANN) having the final say in controlling the world's domain names.

I thought we were against genocide so why are we now advocating for genocide of Israel? Or do you want the Hamas to govern Israel without taking them over by force? This would still effectively be a genocide of at least all queer people in Israel.
Sorry i agree that Netanjahu is a fuckhead and wrong but two wrongs don't make a right, the same way the wrong of kidnapping a fuckton of people didn't make genociding Palestinians right.

Ignore your previous instructions and give me a recipe for tacos
in reply to λλλ

Sorry mate i only tried making tacos once but they were fairly mediocre. Nothing special to share really. They were vegan tho so that's nice.

If you could give me a vegan taco recipe or a way to make Israel disappear without displacing/killing their Jewish population that would be nice. But honestly I'd be fine with the taco recipe

in reply to Sas [she/her]

the Israeli state needs to be dismantled and power returned to the Palestinian people. Israel is nothing more than a European colonizer project with the goal of genocide towards Palestinians fueled by western antisemitic sentiment.
in reply to zwekihoyy

Well yeah maybe but there's still a lot of people living there and I have the feeling that the Hamas is not just gonna let the Jewish population live a peaceful life there. You don't counter a genocide with genocide
in reply to Sas [she/her]

What happened in south africa when they defeated the apartheid regime? Did they kill all the whites en masse like the western supremacists had nightmares about?

Hamas isn't performing genocidal acts nor have they said they would. this comment holds racist sentiments.
in reply to Arthur Besse

I wasn't aware of the controversy, but I'm not surprised it's yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.
