@spaduf And if all goes well, we'll have smooth interfacing between mastodon and lemmy instances. Let's see if this comment appears where I expect it to appear ...

... yes, I see it both in my web interface to my mastodon instance and at the slrpnk.net lemmy instance. :)

Full course: Special relativity and steps towards general relativity:

https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special_relativity_and_steps_towards_general_relativity

I'm willing (if someone expresses a serious interest) to do videos, though I would record them independently of the live lectures with students, to avoid having to edit out discussions with students or keep them in and handle privacy issues. There are also context-dependent explanations that are OK locally but don't make sense planetwide.

@livus

The report itself ([3], point 72) finds #CrimesAgainstHumanity (by ENDF + EDF + Amhara/Afar Special Forces + 'fano'), not #Genocide. Tigrayan forces committed #WarCrimes (not crimes against humanity) (point 71).

@tallwookie No, a "UN invasion" would solve nothing. The question for rich-country outsiders is which local/regional/continental groups/institutions should be supported. African civil society has plenty of ideas and is very active.

@livus

I would rather word that as "a *second* genocide".

Deliberately killing 10% of the Tigrayan population from Nov 2020 to Nov 2022, by: systematically executing males of teenage age and above, massive systematic sexual violence, looting of most food/agricultural/industrial resources and holding a very tight siege is argued by several researchers as showing intent [1][2]. Clearly that was the #TigrayGenocide .

@sugar_in_your_tea About "good time to jump in": the small size of the lemmy dev community gives you a chance to shift off Microsoft to a community git forge e.g. #Codeberg [1] that aims at forge federation [2] *before* there's too much #TyrannyOfConvenience inertia. Mastodon devs are reluctant to even *discuss* giving up Microsoft [3].

@melmi @FallGuy217

"#Threadiverse" - nice term. :)

On the technical side: I'm doing this toot from the Mastodon side. I used

https://MYINSTANCE/authorize_interaction?uri=LEMMYCOMMENTURL

where MYINSTANCE is the instance I'm on (https://framapiaf.org) and LEMMYCOMMENTURL is the comment I chose to reply to (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/90402).

If I understand federation correctly, my reply should/could turn up on the lemmy instances involved in the thread - even though I don't have a lemmy account.
