Update: I just activated Bridgy Fed for my main-account. If you want to see my posts and interact, follow @lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy. You can do the same from BlueSky, too :) See you in the interconnected hyperspace!

@gilduran.com Hi! I'm working with @SafeguardingResearch on preserving scientific data & cultural artifacts that are at-risk of being deleted from public access. We're using BitTorrent to keep the data alive; see https://sciop.net for more I'm currently downloading all videos on your YouTube […]

Want to see the covid.gov site before it got ... kinda weird (to put it mildly). Thanks to @safeguardingdata.bsky.social and @webrecorder.net now you can! app.browsertrix.com/explore/usgo...

Crying some tears of joy and of released pressure/stress: One of the large repositories in Germany started safeguarding datasets from #NOAA, officially. www.linkedin.com/posts/gloeck... pangaea.de This is the culmination of weeks of work 💖 #SafeguardingResearch @safeguardingdata.bsky.social

Electricity is Midi-chlorians.

That was kinda always the point about masculinity though. No matter how childish and insecure you behave, how psychologically and socially counterproductive, you should be celebrated. Like, any Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is like that.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. SUCHO has now made publicly available the 50 TB of cultural heritage data archived from websites ranging from national archives to local museums, 3D tours of churches to children’s art centers. www.sucho.org/press-releas...

The politician currently poised to become the next chancellor in Germany (Friedrich Merz) said today: "We won't be impressed or influenced by all the statisticians and all the skeptics and all the critics and all the critical zeitgeist." In his last speech before the election tomorrow […]

The only thing we can do: Building communities with mutual aid & standing to fight. (yes, those are one thing, one doesn't exist without the other)

NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it. He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Screen caps of Musk’s now password-protected DEI•gov site (hosted by Automattic) that lists government waste using seemingly-LLM-generated claims and which has already had one entry debunked in replies: fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/1... Smells like propaganda in waiting.

My change-detection caught something big: dei.gov (registered ~1 week ago) Has been stale, then had this list put up & quickly password-protected. Hosted by Wordpress/Automattic cc @crampell.bsky.social

For those interested in the Data Rescue Tracker, keep in mind that we need to know/hear from you to be able to track where data is going. That's why we have a submission form. Let us know what you have and submit it! baserow.datarescueproject.org/form/dGIFuHv...

Support local libraries. We’re witnessing censorship on a massive scale. Digital scrubbing is modern day equivalent of book burning Our ability to get accurate info about public health, science, history, LGBTQ & marginalized groups is under threat Libraries will be critical part of the resistance

Explicit antisemitic attitudes are now much more common among young voters - 18 year old registered voters are now ~5x more likely to say that they have an unfavorable view of the Jewish people than 65 year olds.

I hereby give you permission to incorporate the steps from medium.com/the-canadian... into your wiki.

The wiki can be found here: transworldexpress.org

If you have further questions reach out to us, we will try to find answers for them and add them to the wiki The TWE project is new and we are ourselves figuring out on the way. So please be nice to us. -= we hoped we never had to do this but here we are and now we have to do this =-

So far, we only have information for a small number of countries, but: it's a wiki! So please help adding missing information for places you have knowledge of. Focus on vetted information, ideally from first-hand experience or at least trusted sources.

We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are availible at the moment. Along the exit routes we collect visa types, the state of trans healthcare and legislation to protect trans humans.

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =- American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country. We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out. So we made a wiki.

Because its like Twitter 2009. Here is a starter pack for data initiatives in the google doc. Now we eat lunch. go.bsky.app/6a2mbNf

After that, I asked my buddy @micr0.dev to write a scraper for academia.edu to download as many things mentioning #transgender #nonbinary #intersex #queer etc. as possible. The rest is history. 🧵2/2

To be crystal-clear: Topics like #TransRights #Trans #Gender #Queer are no afterthoughts, they are the foundation of the whole endeavor. #SafeguardingResearch started with me (@lavaeolus.bsky.social) cloning GitHub-repos of 'Mapping the Gay Guides' (with their consent) on January 13th. 🧵1/2

Favorite sign so far

#ForReason I'm looking for cheap but reliable storage in the multiple TB-range (best would be HDDs) - does anyone have recommendations? (I'm based in Berlin) #fedihelp #SafeguardingResearch

One very important thing re #SafeguardingResearch - I may be the public face, but there are so many people doing incredible work behind the scenes <3 Like @jonny, @markuswerle, @thgie and many more (I don't have explicit consent to share their handles yet^^)

Groyperfication on steroids

The angry #unicorn meme started in 1734 Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany, and was invented by the local printer Johann David Jungnicol. #skystorians #bookhistory

Sogar im Atlantic ist angekommen, dass es sich um einen administrativen Coup von Seiten Musks handelt. Vielleicht könnte man deutsche Medien jetzt so langsam davon überzeugen, dass sämtliche Expert*innen, die das seit Tagen von den Dächern schreien, nicht hysterisch oder durchgedreht sind?

Was sich an der aktuellen Situation in den USA übrigens auch zeigt: Vor allem diejenigen, die sich in den vergangenen Jahren kritisch mit Social Media Plattformen, Regulierung, Datenschutz und dem Niedergang von Twitter beschäftigt haben, haben gerade einen enormen Wissensvorsprung. Also nach 1/x

Also es ist ja schon krass, mit Rechtsextremen zu stimmen, weil man das eigene Anliegen demokratisch nicht durchbekommt. Noch krasser finde ich aber, danach zu behaupten, man hätte gar nicht mit Rechtsextremen gestimmt. Fühlen sich da nicht sogar die Konservativen langsam verarscht von ihrer Partei?

Here's the Internet Archive blog post about the End of Term crawl of federal websites - @archive.org blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e... #Genealogy

Es gibt dazu auch ein Hashtag, das ich natürlich vergessen habe einzubauen: #SafeguardingResearch

Danke für den Thread. Wichtig finde ich, hier auch Initiativen mit zu nennen, die sich dem grade entgegenstellen und unterstützen. Zum Beispiel #SafeguardingScience: In dem verlinkten Post ist ein weiterer Link dazu von @lavaeolus.bsky.social, der zB grade bei der Archivierung hilft.

Ich kenne keinen Fall, bei dem in einer Demokratie je ähnliches gemacht wurde. Das ist ein Bruch mit allem, was in der Wissenschaft üblich ist. Es ist staatliche Forschungszerstörung. Alle Leute, die irgendetwas mit Wissenschaft zu tun haben, müssen da jetzt an einem Strang ziehen. Es brennt.

> "Wie gefährlich nahe sind die USA einer #Autokratie?" Sie sind es bereits, writing-on-the-wall war schon lange da & seit ein paar Tagen ist es offiziell. Nur ein Schlagwort: #DOGE. Deshalb 2 Dinge: a) wo möglich, helft und unterstützt aktiv Menschen (in den USA und anderswo) - ja, das meint […]
